The room is cast in shadow as she paces back and forth the length of the room waiting for the phone to ring. She's of course been waiting for hours, not because the call is late, but because she is a bundle of frazzled emotions and this phone call has simply been on her mind all day. She is an amalgamation of eager, nervous, excited, and anxious. The clock on her bedside table goes off. The shrill sound reverberates throughout the room. She makes a mad dive for the device. She intentionally set the alarm to go off just so she would be alert and ready for the phone call once it came in. She just hadn't anticipated that she would already be waiting.

She changes tactics now. Instead of pacing in the dark she sits down and starts watching the digital numbers displayed on the lockscreen of her phone. When one minute passes she looks away flicking her eyes around the dark room, mentally willing the call to come in already. When she looks down again another minute has passed. She sighs into the pitch darkness of the room. 'Call already!'

Once it does finally ring, about another minute later, the person on the other line gets straight to business. First checking to make sure that everyone in the conference call has connected. It's pretty obvious to the shadowed figure that she was the last one they connected too. When a roll call of sorts is finished the self appointed leader opens up the discussion. "They are supposed to be boarding their flight back sometime today. From my calculations the flights together will take about 24 hours, but that isn't including whatever length of time that the layover may be. Either way, we should be able to implement the beginning of our plan in only a few days time. If not at least sometime within this week or next."

A second voice pipes in. "We would have already had a foot in the door if SHE had done her job properly."

The girl in the shadows, who expected the verbal attack, begins coming to her own defense. "I told you. I panicked. Besides, she doesn't seem to be all that bad really."

"She doesn't seem to be all that bad?!?! She is literally flaunting her relationship with them during their concerts and Vlives!" This voice scoffs at that thought. "I wouldn't be surprised if her so-called 'soulmate marks' are all fake. That she paid to get the words tattooed on her skin."

Another voice sighs. "Playing devil's advocate here. But, her name is Daisy, and their soulmate marks are of a daisy."

"How do you know all of their marks are of a daisy? We haven't seen Yoongi's, Taehyung's, or Hoseok's marks! Not to mention the ones we have seen could have been photoshopped or manipulated somehow. The only one we can honestly say, for certain, is a daisy is Jimin's, and that's only because it appeared on stage while he was singing."

'Why would the other members choose to photoshop themselves like that?' She should probably voice her concerns regarding this and ask, if only to point out how that fact doesn't make sense, but after the way she was chewed out previously she just doesn't have the courage to do so. She tunes back into the conversation.

"Not to mention the soulmate mark happening to be her name seems awfully convenient to me."

"Look, we have already talked about this over and over again previously. I personally don't want to talk this over until we are blue in the face again. Let's just get this plan set in motion." The leader takes control of the discussion again.

"What's the first step?"

They start discussing the new plan, of course complaining once again about how the first plan didn't pan out. Making the one responsible for that failure feel even more so alienated than before.

"How are we sure this is going to work?"

"That's why there is always a backup plan. If this one also fails we have a safety net in place. And then there is always the backup plan for the backup plan." They start discussing what they would do if they fail.

The first backup plan is rather aggressive. 'I guess there could be worse options put into play.' Then the third plan is mentioned and all hell breaks loose. At least one of them vocalizes the problems with the third plan.

"What?!?! No! That could backfire! Badly!" The voice of the one in the shadows becomes shaken with her guilt. She puts the phone aside for a second and mutters into the empty room. "I didn't sign up for this."

"You really want her to take them from their true potential soulmate? You really want her to swindle them out of their affections, fame, and money?"

"No, but what if she is truly their soulmate? What if we are completely off base on all this?"

"I don't want her to be their true soulmate. Even if only because she is an American. But, she has a point. Not to mention that excluding the first plan, the other two are highly illegal."

"Like we will get caught. Just trust me."

It doesn't escape the woman in the shadows' notice that the speaker in charge didn't answer the question. 'What if she really is their soulmate? What happens then?'

Once they all get up Hoseok makes up some random excuse to pull Jungkook aside, into the kitchen, before they all get arranged in the vehicles to take them to the airport. "Were you safe?"

"Safe?" The tired maknae asks in confusion.

"Last night. Did you act responsibly? I know things can get forgotten in the heat of the moment, and since it was your first time and all..."

Jungkook's eyes widen and a blush stains his cheeks and ears. "Hyung!" He clears the squeakiness from his throat that was brought on from immediate embarrassment and nerves. "Um. I'm sorry if you heard something. It wasn't that though. Daisy and I are still both virgins. We just...uh...did other stuff?"

Hoseok's eyes widen, and his mouth forms an o shape.

"Were we really that loud, hyung?" He casts his eyes around nervously.

"No, I mean I probably only heard because I was in the next room." The conversation gets him thinking though. They probably should broach the subject of birth control with Daisy. Not that it will be a comfortable conversation. But, it will definitely be smart for them to discuss it so they are all prepared for whenever she is ready.

Namjoon pokes his head around the corner. "Come on you two! We are all waiting on you."

Jungkook still has a deer-caught-in-headlights expression on his face, but that doesn't keep him from nodding and heading outside with the others. Hoseok stops Namjoon from going back out. He briefly explains the discussion that Jungkook and he just had and what it made him realize. What they should take a moment to discuss.

Namjoon blushes only ever so slightly, but is able to push his responsibility as leader to the front of his mind and actions instead of dwelling on his own case of embarrassment. "You're right. It is something we should discuss with her. Those of us that have had previous experience should also share with her our test results at that time too."

Hoseok nods in agreement, and doesn't even take a solitary moment to dwell on the idea of his past not-so-romantic entanglements.

For the first four hour shift Jimin had spent his time next to her. They talked during lift off, but the minute they were told it was safe to move about the cabin Daisy got up to rearrange herself. Jimin didn't ask about it though. He simply automatically assisted her with the task. Once she was in bed and already drifting off he chose to keep himself occupied with a movie, although he would cast his eyes at her periodically, every thirty minutes or so.

The second four hour shift was Yoongi's and he spent his time by actually climbing onto the fold out mattress with her. He immediately became her big spoon and couldn't contain his gummy grin when she curled up into him and made a murmur of contentment in her sleep. A flight attendant did come by to discourage how they were sharing a mattress, but Namjoon was able to stop her in her tracks and keep her from doing so. The last thing they needed was for Yoongi to wake up and chew out the flight attendant.

The third shift was Jin's and once Yoongi woke up and relocated he felt that Daisy had been sleeping enough. "She needs to wake up and eat." He muttered aloud, although his ramblings did have a few verbalizing their agreement.

When he reached over to pull the blanket she was wrapped up in from where it covered her face she shifted, and her left foot slipped out from under the bottom of the covers. He just realized that she had kicked off the sandals she was wearing before getting comfortable and his soulmate mark on her lightly freckled skin was unveiled to him. Before he could completely consult his brain about it his hand was reaching out to trace over the scripted font. The action leaving erotic tingles all over him, and surprising those tingles out of him when Daisy jumps up as if she were bitten. Her blue green eyes wide and suddenly quite alert. "Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to...uh.."

Daisy smiles up at him, sleep still somewhat marring her features. She cups his cheek in her hand and kisses him lightly on the lips. "I'm not saying that should be a common occurrence or anything, but I totally think that you should let me trace yours sometime too. But, yeah, not often because feet are gross."

"Uh. Yeah. So, I didn't mean to wake you up like that. But, I was wanting to wake you up because you have been asleep for almost eight hours now. I thought you should probably eat."

She stretches and nods her agreement. "Can you explain the dishes to me? Help me order something delicious?"

After her time with Jin the last four hour shift remaining was Namjoon's. Because he hadn't had much time with her he chose to spend it as closely as possible. He lifted her from her seat and sat her in his lap. Her veiled squeal of surprised delight had him laughing in reaction. His dimples displaying themselves in full force. "We don't get much time together, and it's going to be more difficult once we get home. I want to experience this kind of closeness as much as I can between now and then."

Daisy surprises him with her words. "Do you regret that it isn't just you and I? I mean you aren't the only one without a lot of time on their hands. I kind of have to split my time up too."

He realizes she's right, and it's not something that concerns him. Actually, it is the polar opposite he realizes. "I am glad you are all of ours. I think it makes sense. It's a cosmic balance of sorts."

Daisy's face softens and she smiles at him. Still she asks him to explain.

"If you were only one of our soulmates, not all of ours, because of our demanding schedule you would probably be lonely a lot of the time. I'm not saying you still won't be, but there will be times when each of us has some free time we can spend with you. That's the balance. Honestly, discussing this now makes me realize that I am more accepting of this relationship than I had originally thought." He quickly changes tactics rather than potentially adding doubt to how she might believe he is feeling. "It's almost like we are all spokes on a wheel and you are the center bolt keeping us altogether."

She nods accepting that. Then punctuates her acceptance with a light kiss. Namjoon wants to deepen it but all the others are awake and having their eyes potentially on them isn't the way he wants their rare moments shared.
