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

Chapter 21: Between Rides and Glances

The Ferris wheel creaked as it moved higher, the city lights below us sparkling like stars. Taehyung was sitting between Yoongi and me.

His hand brushed against mine, and I couldn't help but notice the warmth of his skin.

He met my gaze, and for a moment, the world seemed to slow down around us.

His smile was softer now, not the usual playful grin, but something more genuine. "You make everything more fun, Y/N," he said, his voice low but full of sincerity.

I smiled, my heart fluttering at the way his words made me feel. "I'm glad I'm making this night special for you," I replied, my voice soft, almost breathless.

And as Taehyung looked at me, his expression sincere, I couldn't help but feel like this night, this moment, was only the beginning of something unforgettable.

Taehyung, nestled against the back of the seat, the teddy bear firmly pressed to his chest, looked like he had everything he needed in that moment.

Yoongi, watching him with an unreadable expression, gave a subtle but reassuring pat on his shoulder, and I could see the connection between them-quiet but strong, unspoken but undeniable.

As we reached the top of the Ferris wheel, the city lights below us twinkled like distant stars, but all I could focus on was the small, meaningful bond that had been forged between them.

Yoongi had given Taehyung a bear, but what it really represented was something far more significant-affection, care, and the willingness to make someone feel seen and valued.

In the stillness of that moment, I couldn't help but smile softly. There was more to this night than just the thrill of rides and laughter.

It was about the quiet gestures that spoke volumes, the things that could not be expressed in words alone.

The bond between the three of us was growing, and in the way Taehyung held the bear, I knew this was only the beginning of something much deeper.

As the Ferris wheel descended, the cool evening air wrapped around us, carrying with it the subtle scent of popcorn and cotton candy.

The amusement park was quieter now, the lights shimmering softly in the distance as the crowds started to thin out.

We made our way toward the center of the park, where the sound of a countdown echoed in the distance.

The anticipation was palpable-everyone knew what was coming next.

"Fireworks," I said, glancing up at Taehyung, who was practically glowing with excitement.

"Are you serious?!" he exclaimed, his eyes wide with pure delight. "I love fireworks!"

I couldn't help but laugh at his uncontained energy, his enthusiasm reminding me of a child seeing something magical for the first time.
