✔ Viva LasVegas // BTS TaeKook 18+

LV 1

Taehyung sighs, there are so many drunk people here that he has to pour drinks. It wasn't his dream to be a bartender. Taehyung came to Las Vegas to get famous and then go back to Korea to try his luck there after making a name for himself. Taehyung wouldn't mind becoming an actor, nor is he a bad dancer or singer. Everything would have been fine as long as it brought a lot of money into his bank account.

Suddenly the bar owner yells for him. "Taehyung, close the bar for today and wait for a special guest. He's Korean too, so you're the perfect person to serve him." Taehyung just nods and doesn't show how annoyed he is about it.

"It has to be a very famous person to close the bar for that." He mumbles, rolls his eyes, and goes back to clean the counter.

Not long after that, it's time to kick everyone out. The DJ should be enough to announce it, so Taehyung goes to him and whispers in his ear which is not covered by the headset. "Tell them we are closing now and that we are sorry, tomorrow they can come back as usual."

The small guy, who he knows is French, follows Taehyung's instructions, so that after an hour and a half the whole room is finally empty, except for him, of course; even the DJ went home.

Taehyung had just finished cleaning when he saw two tall, black-clad men entering the room. Both don't look really friendly. He knows exactly who they are. It's not the first time that a VIP has come to his work and every time the bar has to be closed. Each of the famous people had the same intimidating looking bodyguards. In this case they are Koreans, but the clothes and their looks are no different from the others, except maybe for the Asian look.

"Hey." Taehyung attracts the attention of the two bulldogs, who then come closer. "What can I bring for my sunshines?"

The men in black keep their faces straight and make Taehyung roll his eyes as soon as his back is turned to both of them. He's already used to people like that, but he just can't help but react like that.

Taehyung prepares the ordered water. It's what they always drink or tend not to drink as they cannot risk going to the bathroom and putting the VIP at risk of being crowded because of a full bladder or whatever. As if he would kidnap the man or the woman, he couldn't even get enough money for himself, why would he want to feed another person? Not to mention the fact that he would end up in jail. No, no, it wasn't worth it, not that he's thinking about it or anything.

Taehyung puts the two glasses of water in front of them and begins to stare. It's like a game to him. He's a master at staring people down until they turn around or walk away annoyed. This time he is interrupted by a tall person who comes in with another “man in black”. This one is not as big as the others, looks more like a doll. How can someone like him defend the VIP?

"Jimin, you can take them with you and go, nothing will happen to me. It's only one person and I know how to defend myself if the worst comes to the worst." Although it was a whisper from the famous person to his bodyguard, Taehyung could hear it clearly. They had finally got to the counter he was standing at, waiting for more orders.

"Jeongguk, that's impossible. You know the rules." The smaller man named Jimin shakes his head and looks at the bartender. "Hi." Jimin turns his head to Jeongguk and asks what to order. Jeongguk ignores it since he is old enough to do it himself.

"Hello, a long island icetea, please." His smile is definitely not sincere. Taehyung can say so much, but it's still kind of cute.

Jimin glares at Jeongguk angrily. Did he just ignore him? "You're so damn stubborn."

"And you're damn clingy, just go. I want to have fun tonight, if that's even possible when I'm alone. I don't even know why this bar is empty. Oh, wait, it's because of me." Jeongguk mocks and at that moment Taehyung serves him the drink. He takes it and swallows at least a quarter of the alcoholic liquid.

Taehyung's eyes widen, his long island iceteas are very strong. Is sure that this guy named Jeongguk will be drunk in less than thirty minutes, if not faster. He couldn't care less though, in which case his shift would end earlier and he wouldn't mind at all. His boss always pays the same amount of money, no matter how long he has to stay after work. The bartender mostly lives off the tips he receives so this evening is definitely a waste of time. Rich people rarely give much, if anything at all.

"Good, be the stubborn little kid that you are and get your way. If you do something stupid, I'll say with great pleasure that I told you so. We'll be outside when you need us." Jimin finally gives in and signals the others to follow him.

Taehyung giggles, it's funny how the smallest of them is in charge.

"He looks weaker than he actually is." Taehyung raises an eyebrow at Jeongguk's words.

"Oh really?" He looks at the aforementioned bodyguard and bites his lower lip.

"And he's not gay." The VIP adds when he sees the bartender looking after Jimin.

"Who said I am? Can't I just admire a great ass?" Taehyung is definitely gay, but he doesn't want to be outed yet. Las Vegas is pretty open about that, but Korea isn't and he's afraid of anti-gay reactions in general.

The idol laughs. "It's obvious that you are." Has a cheeky grin on his face.

"W-what? I'm not! Are you drunk after just one sip?" Taehyung points to the glass between them.

"Hah, as if, I'm not a lightweight. I bet I can drink more than you. What's your name?" Jeongguk is watching the other and hoping that he will take up the challenge. It would certainly not be a boring night.

"My name is Taehyung. Well, I've been working here for almost a year and I think I can beat you easily." He knows he has no chance against him, Jeongguk seems like someone who drinks a lot, not that he looks like an alcoholic, it's just that something tells him that he can drink like a fish without getting drunk. But Taehyung's pride was hurt as someone working in a bar. That's why he agrees without thinking too much about it.

"Let's see who is the lightweight between us and since we're at it, let's make a bet." Jeongguk is very confident that he will win and would never bet if he wasn't.

"Good. How about..." Taehyung thinks for a while, unfortunately he can't come up with anything.

"How about you come out if you lose?" Jeongguk finishes the sentence for him when he realizes that the other has no idea which bet to choose.

"I already said that I am not gay!" Taehyung yells at the giggling VIP.

In the end, they decide that Taehyung has to come out, at least to the other - yes, it doesn't make sense but it's whatever - and Jeongguk has to do something really embarrassing the next time he's in public. They start drinking like crazy and soon afterwards both of them are very drunk.
