The group had to pay a fee to get into the concert arena of the Fountainbleu. Adele was performing and they had to get in to see her. Both the planners, Yoongi and Taehyung couldn't believe that they forgot that both Adele and Usher were regular Las Vegas performers. Leaving Vegas without hearing either of the two would have been a bust. The seven were happy to get into the venue and they grooved to her soulful songs, trying their best to sing along.

As Adele blew, Taehyung and Jungkook, deeply in something, not love yet, but something significant, swayed together as "Easy On Me" filled the air. With their arms wrapped around each other, they moved in perfect harmony, their bodies pressed close. They didn't care who saw them. They were free and enjoyed being able to be in each other's company.

There were no worries from Jungkook about his stalkers. He was able to even bear, just a little easier, the fact that he had to put his trust in something other than himself or his father's protection. He had to trust a process that he seemed to have no control over.

Taehyung appreciated being able to break out of his normally stringent mold to enjoy the company of the beautiful human being he was holding onto. And that beautiful human was holding him. Not because it was a certain day. Not because he just wanted to hook up. He could tell that Jungkook wanted to get to know him.

And as Adele sang "Oh My God," the music further enveloped them, as they sang softly into each other's ears, their voices blending with the melody. Lost in the moment, they moaned softly, every note deepening their connection, as they held each other tighter, feeling the emotion of the song resonate within their loins. Yep. Things were getting hot.

The other five guys looked on. Jimin was happy for his friend. He went to him and whispered, "It's ok for you guys to leave. Looks like you need privacy."

And just like that, Taehyung took his friend's advice and asked for Jungkook to go on a walk with him, on the way back to Taehyung's suite.

The two made it to the front of the Aria where Jungkook needed to stop to pick up some things before going to The Palm. But, Taehyung caught the eyes of someone familiar. There were two guys that he could tell had guns in the back of their pants. Sometimes that's where he carried his. And this would be the third time that he had seen the gentlemen. He remembered seeing them at his resort.

"The fuck?" Taehyung didn't mean to say that out loud. He didn't want to alarm Jungkook.

"What's wrong?" Jungkook asked while trying to follow Taehyung's eyes. He followed them to the front desk.

His chasers were checking into the Aria as guests.

Fuck.

Jungkook's breathing grew rapid. He started squeezing Taehyung's hands.

"Taehyung, do you know these guys?"

"No, but I've seen them seemingly everywhere we go. They were at the Palm yesterday. Then, at the Fountainbleu. And before that I saw them at the random Walgreens we went into when we bought sodas. My training tells me one of us is being followed. Do you know them?"

Jungkook pulled Taehyung from the front door and away from the crowd piling in and leaving. He had to come clean. There was no need to bring Taehyung into his chaotic life. "They are after me, but I don't know who they are. I've been so caught up with being with you that I let my guard down. I haven't noticed them in the past few hours. They've been tailing me, I think from New York."

Taehyung stared blankly.

"Are you in some kind of trouble?" He whispered.

"No, I haven't done anything wrong. I don't think they are cops. But they could be enemies of my parents."
