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

Chapter 15: Romantic Connection

It was a silent confirmation. We were in this together.

Before we could say anything, a soft sound interrupted us. Wacha, now awake from his nap, was staring up at us with wide eyes, his little paws reaching out towards our hands.

We both looked down at the cat, and I couldn't help but laugh.
"You know, she's probably jealous," I teased, raising an eyebrow as I glanced at Yoongi. "We've been ignoring her all night."

Yoongi smirked, shaking his head. "I think Wacha's just mad because she wasn't getting any attention."

With a sigh, I reached down and scooped the little ball of fluff into my arms, giving him a soft kiss on the top of his head. "Well, don't worry, buddy. You're still our baby."

As I cuddled Wacha close, my phone suddenly buzzed, the notification lighting up the screen.

I looked at it and then at Yoongi, raising an eyebrow.

"What is it?" Yoongi asked, glancing at my phone.

You have reached the Romantic Connection Phase with Yoongi.

I stared at it, and then back at Yoongi.

"Well, that's... official, huh?"

He chuckled softly, leaning in to kiss my forehead. "I guess it is."

"I guess we're really soulmates now... And is officially a couple?" I whispered, my heart soaring as the reality of everything hit me.

Yoongi smiled, his gaze soft and full of affection. "Yeah, we are."

And with that, we sealed it.

Another kiss,

a little more lingering this time.

We both laughed-giddy and blissful.

Wacha squirmed between us, demanding attention, and we both laughed again.

The night was ours, and the world seemed so simple now.

Whatever the future held with Namjoon or anyone else, I knew I had found something real, something meaningful, with Yoongi.

And that, in itself, was enough.

Suga's POV

The app had been on my phone for years now. Downloaded the day the government made it a law for everyone to have a profile-whether we activated it or not.

The LoveMap app. It was mandatory. A government initiative to supposedly help people find their soulmates, to make the world "a better place." But what did I know?

I was a cybersecurity engineer, not a relationship guru.

Still, I hadn't activated it.

There was something about it that felt... wrong. The idea that an app, a government-mandated app no less, could somehow dictate who your soulmate was? It seemed unnatural, almost invasive.

Maybe it was my job, maybe it was the nature of the work I did every day, but I was skeptical. I kept telling myself that I didn't need it, that I didn't need some app telling me who I was supposed to be with.

But there was also a part of me that was curious. A part of me that wondered... what if? What if the app was right? What if the person I had been building a connection with was someone important?

This past few months, felt like there's an almost magnetic pull towards it, but also a deep hesitation.

The app wasn't just a random matchmaking service. It was supposed to connect you with your soulmate.
