Stigma Love's Algorithm [ A BTS x Reader Poly ]

Chapter 6: The Initial Connection

He leaned in a little, voice lowering playfully. "Are you sure this app didn't just upgrade us from awkward first date to official?"

Y/N blushed, an endearing mix of embarrassment and amusement filling her face. "I'm not sure it works like that. But... we could test it out? See if the app can handle our awkwardness"

She smirked, raising an eyebrow at him. "It might crash from all the charm overload."

Yoongi leaned in just slightly, his voice dropping to a teasing whisper. "I'm not worried. I've handled worse."

He gave her a wink, his eyes never leaving hers. "I think you'll be the most fun challenge."

Y/N rolled her eyes, trying to suppress the small flutter in her chest. "Excuse me, Mr. I'm-so-cool-with-my-perfect-hair?"

She leaned forward, pointing at him with mock accusation.

"If I may remind you, I'm the one who designed this app. I have no doubt the app could keep up with our chaos"

Yoongi chuckled, a low, rich sound that made Y/N's heart skip a little. "Oh, the app's strong. But you? I'm not sure if It can handle your charm."

His gaze softened for a moment, then he added with a sly smirk, "Good thing I'm here to keep you in check."

Y/N fought back the laugh that bubbled up at his playful confidence. "I think it's the other way around, Mr. 'I'm too cool for this.'" She raised an eyebrow, leaning forward just a little.

"But sure, let's pretend you're the one holding it all together."

Yoongi's expression shifted slightly, his teasing tone softening as he looked at her more seriously.

"I'm serious, though." His voice grew quieter. "I like the way you are. It's... real. I wouldn't change a thing."

Y/N's heart did that little fluttering thing again, and she immediately busied herself with adjusting the cup in front of her.

"Well, that's... sweet of you to say." She caught herself smiling anyway.

"But just so you know, no one is immune to my... special brand of chaos."

Yoongi's lips quirked upward, and he leaned back in his chair with a slow, deliberate smile.

"Good. I like a little chaos." He glanced down at his phone, then back up at her, eyes glinting.

"So, what now? Are we supposed to, I don't know, make this official on the app or something? Or wait for the next notification to tell us when we're, like, completely falling in love?"

Y/N gently shakes her head, her lips betraying her stance to stay as calm as she can as it curls into a small, shy smile "To be honest I'm not quite sure, it's one thing to know and another to actually experience it.

Yoongi's eyes softened, "Let's not rush it. This app seems to have a thing for milestones, after all." he adds

"Besides, if I had to mark every time I'm near falling for you, this map might break from all the notifications."

Y/N blinked, her breath hitching at his words.

She wanted to respond, but she was sure her cheeks were now at full blush.

Instead, she leaned back in her chair, pretending to be deep in thought, her fingers nervously tapping the table. "I... think the app would just send us a million '💖' icons by now, wouldn't it?"

"Probably," Yoongi replied smoothly, his voice low and sincere.

He reached across the table, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear in the gentlest, most deliberate way.
