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

Chapter 14: Purple Hope Unveiled

Hours slipped by, and the event continued to swell with guests, chatter, and laughter, each conversation blurring into the next.

Yoongi and I tried our best to keep our composure as we mingled with potential investors and partners, explaining the new features of the LoveMap app and its integration with social justice.

But despite our best efforts to focus on the task at hand, Namjoon's presence seemed to haunt every corner of the room.

He was there, always near but never fully within reach.

He avoided eye contact, a careful distance between us, yet his gaze always found its way to us, those fleeting moments when our eyes met sending an electric current that left me breathless.

It was as if the space between us was charged with an unspoken tension that neither of us could escape.

But then, the moment we had all been waiting for arrived.

The room fell into a hush as Mr. Lee took the stage, welcoming everyone to the fundraising portion of the evening.

His voice resonated through the room, outlining the significance of the project and emphasizing the powerful partnership between the LoveMap app and the Speak Yourself Foundation.

It was an exciting moment, yes, but I could feel the intensity of the evening shifting again as Mr. Lee introduced the CEO of the Speak Yourself Foundation-the very man who had kept us intrigued all night long.

"Now," Mr. Lee's voice rang clear, "It is my great pleasure to introduce someone who is truly leading the charge in creating meaningful change in our world. A man whose passion for social justice and innovation is unmatched. Please welcome, Mr. Kim Namjoon."

There was a brief, respectful round of applause as Namjoon rose from his seat.

His tall figure cut through the crowd, moving with a grace that seemed almost otherworldly.

As he approached the stage, the entire room seemed to gravitate toward him, the air around him thick with an undeniable pull.

As the room grew quieter, all eyes turned toward the stage, and the air seemed to thicken with anticipation.

Namjoon stood tall at the podium, his presence commanding, yet he carried himself with an understated grace that made everyone in the room hang on to his every word.

He paused for a moment, surveying the crowd, before his deep voice resonated throughout the venue.

"Good evening, everyone," he began, his tone calm but powerful, each syllable laden with sincerity. "It's truly an honor to be here tonight, to stand alongside such passionate individuals, and to be a part of something that will forever change the world as we know it."

His words immediately drew the attention of everyone in the room. They weren't just listening to a CEO-this was a man whose voice carried the weight of something much bigger than just business.
