A/N:  There is a bonus, or at least additional, POV in this particular chapter.   It is very brief, though.

I'll also have another short author's note at the end of the chapter.  :)  

After a decadent supper on the upper deck the members stay with their soulmate for a bit as they watch the sun vacate the sky and linger until the stars start to come out while the ship navigates the darkening tealish blue waters. "Didn't you all say you had to do something for the production crew?" Daisy questions them interrupting their peace as they each grow uncomfortable due to their deception.

Namjoon frowns but nods. "Yes, let's walk you to your room and tell you goodnight first though."

After they get outside her door. Each member takes a turn to enter her room so they each can have a moment or two in private to tell her goodnight. It isn't easy for them to keep a jovial appearance as they kiss her softly and express how they can't wait until they see her in the morning.

Afterward they all adjourn to Jimin and Tae's room since the 95s have the most space. A few members of the production team do follow, but their purpose is not to film them. Rather it is to try to decipher what members might have been seeing the past few days.

"Before we start this discussion, I am really not happy we are hiding this from Petal. She is level headed enough that she can handle this all in stride. She won't let something like this worry her until it is something she deems she should worry about."

Namjoon sighs. "I think we all feel that way honestly. But, I really don't want her to know about it until we know more ourselves. All we have to go on is what Jimin, Tae, Jk, and Jin have seen. Hell, I might have seen something myself today, but I am really not certain."

Jimin glances at the production crew. "Is that why we brought them in? To review the recordings? Won't that take hours?"

Yoongi grumbles. "I am guessing we are going to be working on this until midnight then. But at least that will be a decent time to call the company, and especially Han Bin, to let them know our concerns afterward."

"So, each of you had worried that you might have seen something in the sky. Can you explain it again?" Despite the fact that Namjoon is pretty sure he saw it himself he takes on an inquisitive role to research what might be going on.

"At first I thought it might be a bird." Jk admits. "But, then I pointed it out to Tae and neither of us were sure that is what it was. All we were able to decipher for certain was that it was black."

"I saw it later the same day, and I am pretty sure it was either an RC helicopter or a drone of some kind. But, I don't think I got a great look at it either. Not to mention it was pretty far off. It still could have been a bird, and my eyes could have simply been playing tricks on me. After all, I had asked Tae and Jk about what they saw before I noticed it myself. Perhaps, my mind was jumping to conclusions." Jimin shares the time he saw it.

"When did you have a chance to ask them about it? Wasn't Daisy with you the whole time?" Hobi asks both confused and concerned.

"It was during one of her trips to find a bathroom." Jimin then looks Hobi in the eye. "I swear outside of that she was never far away from us or out of our sights."

They all look to Jin so he can share his moment. "When I saw it I thought the same thing that Jimin did. That it could be something like a drone. But, when I tried to focus on it more clearly it seemed to simply disappear."

Namjoon nods. "I only saw it for a moment while we were eating lunch, and I couldn't tell you what I saw at all because it was far too brief."

"So, the only thing left to do is scan the footage." Hobi nods.

They first focused on only the times that they thought they saw the apparatus. Starting with the footage from the assigned camera operators. Then moving on to each of the members' cameras. It took them hours to scan through each moment from multiple angles. They didn't even find anything remotely helpful until they got to today's footage.

"That is most definitely a drone." One of the camera operators points out. "High tech too." He points at the blurry image. "Pretty sure that is a high definition video camera attached. Which makes me think that it probably has exceptional zoom capabilities."

Namjoon frowns and glances at the time. 11pm. "I'll stay up tonight. At 1am our time I'll put in a call to the company. It will be 9am by then, and someone should be there. I'll let them know what we discovered."

After the production team leaves, the rest of the members linger for a moment. "I'm taking tomorrow night with Daisy. I've waited long enough." Jk states. His comment leaves little room for argument.

They all frown but nod in agreement. The maknae has been growing exceptionally impatient, and they have been lucky that he has held out this long without getting overly upset.



Namjoon heads to his room and pulls out his notebook. His intention is to try to get some writing done since he has to stay awake anyway. They had all been falling a bit behind on their work, and he hoped this would be a good time to play catch up. How can he focus though when his soulmate could be in jeopardy?

It has to be someone with inside information. No one outside of the company should know where we went. Even Dispatch only learned of our departure from the airport the night of. Unfortunately if this is true he knows that makes this situation potentially all the more dangerous. Hell, it could be someone with them. Or it could even be more than one person with them.

The only people Namjoon knows he 100% trusts stayed behind in Seoul to get some time for themselves. Outside of those people he only mildly trusts most of the rest.

He has three people he isn't sure he trusts at all. One because of his past actions. One simple because he tends to keep to himself. The other because she is new to the security team, and no one has had the opportunity to get to know her well. Not even Daisy who she is assigned to.

He begins to briefly wonder if he should have told the others about the perfume that seemed to linger in his room the other day. Then he shakes his head thinking he could very well be jumping to conclusions. After all no one should have access to his room aside from the ship staff. It could have very well been a member of housekeeping's perfume he noticed after all.



To say that Hoseok is angry would be putting it mildly. He is outright furious at whoever it is that might be trying to come between his group and his soulmate. That's what he thinks is the goal here. To somehow separate Daisy from them.

Well it isn't going to fucking happen! She is meant to be ours, and whoever these sasaengs are they need to fucking learn that really fucking quick.

So many members of Army had been giving their support to their soulmate that it kept blindsiding them when the minority would lash out. This particular minority had to have help though. They had to have someone on the inside feeding them information. The question is who the fuck would do that?

Hobi is so worried and charged with agitated energy that for a moment he considers throwing a tantrum and displacing anything that isn't nailed down in the room. The fact that he is kind of a neat freak luckily keeps him from doing something so carelessly.

Once Yoongi is in his own room he immediately lays down on the bed and flings his arm over his eyes. He isn't sure he could fall asleep right away due to the turmoil of events and possibilities playing in his head. There is only one thing he can focus on that would bring him peace.

The night before there was definitely a part of him that hated the fact that he couldn't follow Daisy to her room when she claimed exhaustion. Him and the other members had stayed together to play a game to appease the audience that would be watching the show when it came out.

When he got back to her room and saw her curled up perfectly on the left side of the bed he couldn't help but smile softly at the sight. He probably worried more than necessary that he might wake her as he tried to climb in bed with her. In fact when she pushed herself into his awaiting arms he was worried that he most definitely had woken her up, but if that were the case she made no sign outside of those actions.

In that moment he knew that cuddling with his soulmate would be his happy place when he needed to find peace within his own mind. He took a moment to imagine holding her even now before his mind began to finally drift off and sleep took over.



Jimin frowns at his best friend when he leaves their room after pacing for a few minutes. He knows though that this is one of the few times he craves space instead of a sympathetic shoulder. If Tae is gone more than an hour though Jimin won't hesitate to go out and hunt him down to bring him back to their rooms.

The research they had done over the past few hours had got Jimin to think about the moment he saw the craft in the sky. He loved fountains and wanted to be beside her with the others as they stood on the edge together, but when he saw something similar to what the other two described he couldn't help but try to decipher for himself what it might be.

Now he is pretty angry, because whoever had been spying on their time together had taken time away from his soulmate. It wasn't a moment that Jimin could get back. He could only guess that perhaps a sasaeng or two were behind the surveillance, but obviously he couldn't be sure. It wouldn't completely make sense for a sasaeng to be behind it, because that means they would have to have some kind of tie into the company. There was no way they could know their location otherwise. Not to mention they would also have to somehow be two steps ahead of us the entire time. Getting to the next location before our ship ever did.



Jin was beyond worried. Discovering that they were being spied on made him think that his soulmate was in some kind of jeopardy. It was even worse that he didn't know for certain what kind of trouble might be in store for them.

Who knows what these spies were trying to learn during their surveillance. They could have been simply wanting footage for their own personal scrapbooks or what not, but Jin seriously doubted this was the case.

Sure they had some strange occurrences with sasaeng before, but never had they been worried during one of their Bon Voyage trips like this. Yes, there were times that they were recognized, but due to the cameras surrounding them any Army that came in contact with them would respectfully give them their space. The drones gave the person controlling it a layer of anonymity. Not to mention due to the zoom on the camera it gave them control to seem to get close without physically actually doing so.

Are they planning on harming my Princess? Or are they simply wanting to simulate what it would be like if they were a part of our lives instead?

Tae hated this. He absolutely hated it. It was like someone was trying to harm one of the purest people he knew. He hadn't chosen his nickname for Daisy lightly. He had started to call her Angel because of her pure heart and soul. Although, if he were being honest, her freckled alabaster skin also somewhat contributed to the nickname.

Tae looks up at the stars, wondering if that spy was hovering about even now. If they were trying to get shots of them while they were on the cruise ship. He shook his head though. No, they would probably be traveling themselves right now. They would probably be making their way to our next location.

Tae can't help but wonder what the company might say after they learn of this situation. A part of him hopes they will want them to come back home. Then the other part of him wants more time here together with Daisy and his brothers.

Could whoever this outside observer be somehow know what is planned to happen once we officially disembark from the ship at the end of our trip? Because if they know of those plans too, perhaps we should change them.



Jungkook frowns as he paces his room. Perhaps he should see if there is some kind of exercise room on the boat. Somewhere he might be able to blow off steam. Just so he can manage to get his anger in check.

Honestly, what he really wants to do is first confront Korain. Preferably with his fist. But, he has been told to refrain. Several people have been trying to convince him that Korain isn't the bad guy he seems to be. The trouble is no one has been elaborating on this fact.

If there is a factual reason to believe in Korain he would like to know it.

He takes a deep breath and decides to think about his Sweetheart instead. The problem is that just makes him want to go to her room right now and claim his time with her tonight instead of waiting until tomorrow. He promised not to do that, because he was likely to unintentionally share what they learned with her before taking a moment to mentally edit himself.



TDS: Okay who the fuck was in charge of the drone today?

GHS: Um. That was me.

TDS: Well, it got spotted.

GHS: Oh no... I am so sorry! I am still getting used to the controls!

TDS: It's okay you weren't the only one. It turns out with the exception of one day at least one member of BTS has seen the drone.

WBS: Which day was that?

WBS only asks because she is kind of curious if she, for once, didn't make a mistake.

TDS: It doesn't matter. The point is no more drone

for a few days.

ADS: It would have been me next anyway. I don't have a great grasp on the controls yet myself.

GMS: Aww, but then we won't get a chance to see them.

WHS: True, we have to lay low in our accommodations.

CCS: We would stand out too much. It would simply be too obvious for there to be six other Koreans walking around. The minute we were spotted we would be detained and questioned.

TDS: You mean five. There is no way that WBS can be seen. They would recognize her in a heartbeat.

WBS: Yeah, she's right. Not to mention that technically there is one member in particular that might recognize the rest of you.

TDS: Also true. So stay in the hotel. Order room service. Only one person out in public at all times, and even then try to keep from being seen.

Once TDS sets her phone down she wonders if she should have shared her own blunder with the group. She sighs before thinking it full through. No, I'm the one in charge so that means I
