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

Chapter 11: The Cake and the Confusion

His smile ever so gentle, sweet and genuine tugs my heart enough for me to almost forget that I've been browsing cake options online.

The exact website opened on my browser at the moment.

As soon as I realize this, I immediately slammed my laptop closed.

Yoongi's eyes widened in surprise.

"Y/N, is everything okay?" he asked, his gaze flicking between me and the now-closed laptop. "What's been going on with you"

Great Y/N!! Way to make it obvious!

You handled that with sooooo much ease and grace.

I was so frustrated with myself that I unconsciously rolled my eyes

"Did you just roll your eyes at me?" I hear Yoongi speak, his tone laced with disbelief and somehow a bit of amusement.

"NO!! No Yoongi I was rolling my eyes at myself, okay" I panickly defended myself.

I am so obvious, God.

He crossed his arms, and watched with me with one of his eyebrows raised.

His voice dropped a little, his tone teasing. "Maybe you should take a break. I could help you with... whatever it is you're hiding."

I froze for a second, my heart skipping a beat.

The last thing I needed was him finding out about my secret plans. "Hiding?" I repeated, forcing a chuckle. "What makes you think I'm hiding something?"

Yoongi gave me a knowing look. "I don't know. Maybe it's you slamming shut your laptop so hard I thought it was gonna break or the way you've been looking over your shoulder for the past hour like someone's about to pounce on you."

I felt my face flush, and I immediately tried to change the subject. "So, um, did you check the new wireframes that Jae was working on for the Awareness Campaign feature? I think it's going to be pretty cool once it's done."

Yoongi didn't seem fooled by my attempt at deflection.

Instead, he just leaned closer, his voice dropping to a playful whisper. "You know, you're not very good at lying, Y/N. What are you really up to?"

I cleared my throat, trying not to melt under his teasing gaze. "Nothing. Just... you know, work stuff. And, uhhh..."

"uhhh.."

The hell y/n stop panicking!

Yoongi still staring at me, his eyes in a squint and leaning on me closer and closer with his arms crossed

"Uhm.." I can't think!!!

Abort!! Abort!!

He's too fucking close!

"FINE!!! You got me! Darn it! FINE!!" I yelled in frustration

His eyes shot up with pure satisfaction.

Asshole.

"...I was figuring out what to get you for your birthday." I murmured almost to a whisper

At that, Yoongi's smirk widened, and he straightened up, clearly amused. "Oh?! You've been planning something for me?"

I can feel excitement and joy just beaming from him.

I froze. "What? No, I didn't say I was planning anything."

"You totally did." He grinned, clearly enjoying my flustered reaction. "C'mon, tell me. What's the big surprise?"
