A/N:  This chapter includes the house they will be staying at.  It is based off of a real rental in Brazil, and I am going to include a link to the house in comments once it is posted if you want to see what it looks like.  (FYI, I personally fell in love with the visual the minute I saw it. )

*Edit I have added some of the pictures but kept the comment as a way to properly credit the rental company for the pictures.

When we get off the plane I realize that the Sao Paulo airport is just as packed as the two that I witnessed in America. This fact made me nervous of how plausible it was for a crowd to see me for the first time.

I had done my research and knew it would be somewhere between 70°F and 82°F in March. I also knew that the air in Sao Paulo tended to run thick, humid, and often higher than the measured temperature, so it was highly likely that the days would be quite warm while we were here. Luckily, the bonus, despite these facts, was that since our plane left at noon we arrived at the airport just a little after 9:30pm, which brought a cool night breeze with the darkness that had settled in. I had removed my outer coat, but it was still cool enough that my hoodie wasn't terribly out of place.

As we were grouping together by the SUVs I heard my name shouted from several Army and reporters alike. My gut reaction was to look around, but my trained reaction was to focus on the vehicles in front of me along with the security and my men that surrounded me. Jimin, Yoongi, and Tae were going to be my vehicle partners this trip. I could tell that didn't settle very well with Hobi and Namjoon, but they didn't voice against it.


Once I got to the backseat Yoongi and Jimin took the seats opposite of me, and Tae pouted before resigning to one of the captain seats in the middle. I was immediately pulled into Yoongi's frame and sighed in contentment. My reaction had him lightly chuckling. "What? I told you that you were comfy." I turn my head just slightly and kiss him on the cheek. I had considered kissing him on the lips for the briefest of seconds, after all everyone in the vehicle happens to be one of the members I have kissed at this point, but I think my nerves talked me out of it.

I know despite cultural differences that they seem to have no problem with hand holding in public, but I do feel like we should discuss public displays of affection. Especially how the others would feel if I am open with my amorous affections while the others are around. I once again realize that an eighteen year old me would not have been ready to navigate a relationship with seven different men.

I turn when I feel a finger poke me in the forehead from my right side. "You're thinking too hard, Daisy."

"Yeah, I was kind of wondering where you went there for a second." Tae states. Even though he is in the captain seat, and his seatbelt is secure, he still twists halfway to be able to watch me and get my attention.

"I'm right here. I just got lost in my thoughts for a few minutes." I respond. Not realizing that the comment would promote more questions.

I figure Yoongi is already half dozing beside me so I'm surprised it's him that responds first. "What were you thinking about?"

"That navigating a relationship with seven men is complicated." I utter without completely consulting my brain, but once I realize the words have left my mouth I tack on a smile to help assist defining that I'm not complaining in the slightest. He rubs at a kink connecting my shoulder and neck that I didn't realize was there. I lean into his touch and do my damndest to smother the moan that wants to creep out of my mouth. "I'm thinking that perhaps we need to have a group discussion."

"What about?" Tae asks. He looks concerned, and I definitely didn't intend to put that look on his face.

"Nothing bad." I assure him. "I just think we need to vocalize some expectations, but I want to do it with everyone in the same room." I look past Jimin into the inky darkness past the overhead street lights. "Definitely not tonight though. We still have to work out who is sleeping where, and I am sure once we get that worked out we will all want to clean up and go to bed." I pause for a second as I realize that I know nothing regarding our accommodations, other than it's near the coast. "How many bedrooms does the house have?"

None of them answer so I glance at them all in turn. Looks like none of the people in this vehicle know the answer to that question. I sigh. I'm not naive enough to believe that there are eight bedrooms. I've seen some of their Bon Voyage trip episodes; I know that they tend to share due to limited space.

[See the comments here for the link to the rental.]

The first thing I see when the GPS indicates that our destination is on our right is a high brick wall. The bricks are the color of terracotta, and I realize after getting through the security gate, as we pull in the drive that it matches the color of the house that is only slightly hidden by palm trees and tall hedges. Once the SUV comes to a stop I find myself scurrying to undo my seatbelt and get out to take a closer look. Apparently my actions amuse the trio in the vehicle with me because they are laughing at my obvious unrestrained excitement. Holy shit this place is breathtaking!

Jimin starts doing the disappearing laughing thing he's known for, so I glance his way and arch an eyebrow. Then I see the laughter in Tae's and Yoongi's eyes too and realize that I apparently said that aloud. I watch Sejin locate the key from where the owner said it would be. Once he opens the door, I find myself running inside to check out the house.

I notice immediately that the downstairs, with the exception of the somewhat closed off kitchen seems to be a completely open space. To my immediate right is a long dining room table with six chairs, which I find myself frowning at, and directly in front of me is a small sitting area completed with a leather sofa and loveseat. When I turn more directly to my right I can see the rest of the space beyond me. There is a bar to my left with four stools across from the dining room with a cutout window that quite obviously leads to the kitchen area. A few feet past the dining room table where a wide hallway begins, is the staircase leading to I assume the bedrooms. Past the staircase is another sitting area. This one has a round table, once again with six chairs, two long couches that could comfortably seat four people and a long coffee table. Past that is a large sliding multi glass paneled door. I don't hesitate to open it to discover what lies on the other side.

I should have heard the cascading water behind the door, but I honestly didn't register it. I was simply too enamored with the visual aspect of my surroundings. But, once I open the doors the small waterfall feeding into an unusually shaped pool is front and center in my vision. If I were to have to describe the shape to someone else I guess I would say it was almost like a long rectangle, except the ends were rounded instead of straight, and on the side with the stairs leading into the pool there is a half circle there. The patio surrounding it is huge with a few lounges surrounding the sparkling water, and just past a grouping of palm trees and other foliage I find an outdoor seating area complete with a grill, bar, and two tables.

The guys must have been trailing behind me. Because, when I turn around they are all there smiling at my expression that I can only imagine is a mixture of joy, wonder, and awe. "This place is beautiful!"

"Would you believe we lucked out with this property? It's the last month of summer for Brazil so you would think that two places side by side would be completely rented out." Namjoon shrugs. "I guess it was fate that it worked out in our favor."

I quickly remember something that was concerning me before we pulled up. "How many bedrooms?"

"Five bedrooms and four full baths. There is a half bathroom downstairs." Sejin responds.

I turn to my guys and arch an eyebrow. "How is that going to work?"

"You'll get the master bedroom of course. We will all have to choose our bedrooms like we normally do. Should we investigate those first though?" I know Namjoon is mostly asking the others, but I am nodding enthusiastically. I'm ready to see the upstairs.

Once we determine which room is the master I thoroughly investigate. There is a wide multi paneled door just past my bed that opens to a wrap around balcony at the front of the house and faces the street. I'm not surprised by the queen sized bed since it is the master, but the en suite bathroom ends up taking my breath away. While the space is narrow they make up for it with a large garden size jacuzzi tub. The shower head is just directly above it. There is one minus I do realize though about this bathroom. The lack of a shower curtain. But with everything else so perfect I shrug away my concern.

We go back to the larger sized living area to discuss the findings bedroom wise. It turns out there is a small bedroom with a single twin bed, another with a single queen, the largest bedroom (aside from mine) has a queen and two twin beds (also the only other one with an en suite bathroom), and the last bedroom has a full size bed and a twin. Apparently the managers planned this out because instead of rock, paper, scissors as their deciding tool on who chooses first they draw lots.

Yoongi ends up with the single twin room. Tae and Jimin are sharing the bedroom with the full bed and twin. Jungkook, Namjoon, and Jin are sharing the largest room with the queen and two singles. Hobi is alone in the other solitary queen room. "Which happens to be the one next to yours." He whispers covertly to me.

I'm too tired to even roll my eyes at him right now. But, his teasing smirk is coupled with a look of heat that definitely has me squirming emotionally and physically. We all part ways to clean up and get some rest.

Once I'm done with my shower Hobi comes in and claims the bathroom for himself. He's done with his shower pretty fast, and before I end up falling asleep with damp hair he grabs a brush and assists me in removing the tangles. He even goes a step further to put it in a braid for me. Before he's done though I am already falling asleep sitting up. I barely register being lifted and put in a nearby chair, then after he's pulled back the covers he picks me up again tucks me into the bed. "Sweet dreams, Daisy."



The next morning I am surprised to wake up with another body beside me. Fingers stroking at my cheek. Barely conscious I swat the fingers away, thinking since he is roomed closest to me that Hobi has come in to bother me. "Daisy, wake up."

That most definitely is not Hobi's voice. I rub my eyes before fully opening them to find Namjoon practically curled around me. His face looming only a few inches from my own. "Morning, beautiful."

I cover my mouth to block my, most likely atrocious, morning breath. "Um, morning."

"It's seven-thirty. I figured you would want to wake up and spend some time with us before we had to head out for dance practice."

Crap! I didn't want to sleep in! I wanted to talk to them just after having breakfast. That's when I register an exquisite scent coming from downstairs.

Namjoon reads the look on my face and chuckles in response. "Jungkook is making pancakes."

"Do I also smell bacon?" I ask. Why do I ask that? The aroma of bacon is impossible to mistake for anything else!

Namjoon apparently doesn't think my question is as ludicrous as I do. He simply nods at me in response.

"Um, I'll be down after I brush my teeth really quick." I plan on brushing them a second time after eating, but there is no way I am facing my guys with nasty morning breath. I also take a few extra moments to put on a bra.

When I go downstairs I'm not surprised to find that two of the chairs from the circular table on the other side of the stairs have been moved to the dining room table. I can only guess that Namjoon told Jungkook he was coming up to get me since he was just finishing stacking a few pancakes on a plate before handing it to me. Jimin fills a large glass with orange juice, and Namjoon grabs me a small plate with a side of bacon on it. "Oh you guys spoil me!" I gush happily before digging in.

"So, you said you had choreography practice today? Are you going to the hotel for that?" They shake their heads collectively.

Yoongi chooses to answer. "Since the first concert is only in a couple of days and there are no events planned at the venue between now and then the stage is already being constructed for us. By the time we get there it should be completed."

I nod while chewing my pancakes.

"We probably won't be home until after suppertime tonight. But, we don't expect you to make the long trip in to watch us practice and back, when we only got in yesterday after that long flight." Namjoon explains to me.

I nod again before taking a sip of orange juice. "I figured I would first go out and do some window shopping. Maybe even purchase a few things for myself while I am out and about. Also probably get some groceries since we have our own kitchen." I smile. I honestly love to cook, and I haven't really had the opportunity to cook for anyone else since my parents passed.

"Well Korain will be around so he can escort you where you would like to go." I nod, once again enamored with my food. But then the guys point out that they need to be going so I quickly finish the bite I am working on and hug them all before they head out the door.
