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

Chapter 18: A Weekend We'll Never Forget

His smile in the photo was warm, inviting, and filled with a playful energy that was hard to ignore. He had sharp features, the tousled hair, and the intense gaze.

A sense of awe settled over me. This was it-this was one of our soulmates.

His photo looked like something out of a dream.

His dark brown hair fell in soft waves around his face, his eyes-striking and full of expression-held a warmth that instantly made me feel like I had known him for years.

His lips, slightly parted in a natural, carefree smile, made him look approachable yet enigmatic all at once.

There was an ease to him that I couldn't explain, but it was as if I had seen him somewhere before, even if I hadn't.

He was perfect-his presence just as captivating as I had imagined.

I turned to Yoongi, and his eyes met mine. "So... this is him?" I whispered, the question more rhetorical than anything else.

Yoongi's lips twitched into a small grin. "Yeah, I guess this is him."

We sat in silence for a moment, taking in the enormity of it all. Our soulmate-one of them-had finally been activated.

He was real. He was here.

Yoongi's voice broke the silence, low and steady. "We're ready for this, right?"

I nodded, squeezing his hand again. "Yeah. We've talked about this so many times. We're ready."

And as if the app was listening to us, it sent as a new notification.

Your soulmate match is waiting.

Yoongi and I shared a glance, silently agreeing that we would take this step together.

Yoongi strides over to my side and gives me a sweet embrace "It'll be okay, we're here for each other no matter what," he assures me as he leans in and gives me a gentle kiss.

"I love you, Y/N"

I smile at him and kissed him back.

"I'm crazily in love with you too, Min Yoongi" Thankful for the constant assurance he's giving.

"We can do this."

Our eyes shifted to the app. We were ready to message him, to open the door to whatever this connection could be.

But before either of us could do anything, my phone buzzed in my hand.

Yoongi looked at me, surprised. "Wait... what is that?"

My heart skipped a beat as I read the message notification that popped up.

Your soulmate has sent You and Suga a message through the group chat

"Seriously? A group chat feature on a soulmate app?" Yoongi playfully teases, as he looks at me with amusement

"Hey, don't you hate! We had to find a way to make sure that they had an option not to leave anyone behind! It's a great idea you know!" I sassed, a smile tugging my lips, thankful for lightened atmosphere

"Sooooo... I guess it was your idea huh?" he was full on laughing now, committed to his decision to tease me

I can't help but laugh at that too as I hear his heartfelt chuckle.

"As soon as we got a hold of this multiple soulmates phenomenon, we had to do something you know, we had to give them options to either message one personally, create a group chat for specific ones, or create a group chat with all the soulmates... you asshole!" I explained as I playfully slap his shoulder while he wipes the tears out of the corners of his eyes

"it's a genius idea and you know it!" I pouted and crossed my arms, he is so annoyingly wonderful, it's crazy

Yoongi kisses my forehead "okay okay I agree, you're a genius and... by the way, very thoughtful, I'm sorry" he says still chuckling, his gummy smile brightening up the room.

I pinched his nose as hard as I could because he's such an ass and also because he's just too darn cute right now.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Okay! Okay! I'm sorryyyy! I deserve that" he says as he grins again, nudging me.

"But he does seem nice, he messaged us both at the same time. He probably didn't want to leave one of us behind" Yoongi says as he smiles, gentleness lacing his words

"I agree" I smile at the thought.

We both lean in with anticipation as I swipe open the notificion revealing the group chat

A flood of 6 messages popped up, each one more playful and charming than the last, along with a ridiculous amount of emojis.

Hey Suga, Y/N! So... yeah looks like we're soulmates, huh? Feels kinda surreal 🤯

Seems like you both already know each other? I checked the SoulMap feature and it seems like you already do 🔥😏

Wait! I'm sorry I didnt mean to be creepy there! 😭 I'm just a bit nervous and curious about you guys 😩😬

Hope that's ok 😁✨

I've been lurking around, waiting for the perfect moment to say hi. hehe 😂

Anyway, here I am. Hope to talk to you guys soon!! I'm excited to get to know you both. 🤗💯👀

As we lifted our heads from the screen, Yoongi and I shared a glance, the silence in the room suddenly heavy with the weight of everything that had just unfolded.

And then, with a snort, Yoongi broke the silence.

We both burst into laughter, completely charmed by how adorable and genuine our new soulmate seemed.

The playful, almost shy tone of his messages tugged at our hearts, and we couldn't help but laugh at how endearing he was.

Yoongi shook his head with a smirk. "He's ridiculously cute, isn't he?"

I nodded, still laughing. "I think we're in trouble."

We shared another round of laughter, the weight of what was happening now softened by the undeniable cuteness and warmth he had already brought into our lives with just a few short messages.

"What a charmer, this guy," Yoongi chuckles, shaking his head in disbelief.

His gummy smile spreads wide, clearly taken by our soulmate's playful, yet endearing charm.

"He definitely is," I giggle, unable to stop smiling as we both stare at his profile on the screen.

Kim Taehyung

"I think we're gonna like Taehyung," Yoongi says, his eyes lighting up as he smiles at me, his fingers gently brushing mine.

The warmth of his touch adds to the growing excitement in both of us.

We share a moment of quiet understanding, feeling the thrilling anticipation of what's to come.

As I squeeze his hand, we both know that this is just the beginning of something new, something exciting. The road ahead feels bright, filled with possibility, and we're ready to see where it leads.

The future is wide open. And it's going to be one hell of a ride.
