Meeting

"Pre-tour meetings suck," Jungkook whined as he twirled around in his chair. "We could have stayed another day at Namjoon's."

"Namjoon's house is ridiculous, everything is baby proofed," Jin said as he carefully braided Sephi's hair.

"If everything wasn't baby proofed, I wouldn't have a home to come back to every day," Ellie sighed.

Namjoon wasn't in the room to defend himself so everyone laughed.

"Too bad you can't baby proof the tour," Jimin laughed. "At least we have Xia and Lena now to help keep him from destroying everything."

"I'm going to do what?" Lena walked into the room, Namjoon following her.

"Keep my baby from breaking the tour with his bare hands," Ellie smiled.

Namjoon shook his head and took a seat next to Ellie, kissing her cheek before he settled back and pulled out his phone.

"I have to watch after Tae," Lena said as she took a seat on Taehyung's lap, curling into him and sighing. "He needs constant kisses."

Taehyung giggled and kissed the top of her head.

"Everyone settle, it's that time again," their touring manager walked in and sat at the head of the table. "Lena and Xia are new so you know what that means."

Groans came from half of them as the manager pulled out two packets for the girls.

"As you two might know, BigHit does not disclose the exact identities of soulmates at this time," he explained. "There are certain protocols that must be followed until the company releases your info."

"When will we be known to the public?" Xia asked.

"Possibly after Jungkook's soulmate is known, but those decisions are still up in the air," the manager said. "Veda will be joining us on tour and she will be responsible for your transportation and helping conceal your identities. She should be here- now! Hello, Veda."

A short-haired woman stepped into the room, a smile on her face.

"Good morning, everyone!" Veda smiled. "Nice to see you all together. It's time for another soulmate induction to tour life! I hope you girls are excited."

Xia and Lena awkwardly smiled at Veda.

"Good news and bad news," Veda said. "You can't be in public with your soulmate, which is the bad news. However, as long as you are backstage, on the bus, or in private hotel areas, it is okay to be around them. We also don't recommend all of you traveling together, since it creates higher suspicion."

"Who will we be with then?" Xia asked.

"Staff, bodyguards, maybe another one of the girls," Veda explained. "We don't recommend being in more than pairs with another soulmate."

"Sephi and I usually like to be together," Jin-Ah said from beside Yoongi. "But switching it up is fun."

"How will traveling on the bus work if we aren't supposed to be seen together?" Lena asked.
