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

Chapter 22: Laughter and Longing

Her beauty is undeniable, yes, but it's the way she makes me feel alive that really gets to me.

And as I sit here, thinking about all of it, I realize how much I crave her presence, how much I want to be around her, to learn more about her.

She makes me feel important, and that's something I don't take lightly.

I never thought I'd meet two people who made me feel like this. And yet, here I am, caught in this whirlwind of attraction and connection.

I don't even know what to do with myself half the time.

It's not something I had planned, nor something I expected to experience.

But now that it's happening? It feels like everything just... fits.

Like the pieces to a puzzle falling into place, creating something I never knew I needed.

Before I get too lost in my thoughts, my phone buzzes beside me. I grab it instantly-it's a message from Yoongi in our group chat, followed by one from Y/N.

Yoongi (Group Chat)
Hope the teddy bear made it home safely

Y/N (Group Chat)
Can't believe Taehyung's still carrying that thing around like it's a prized possession 😂 You look adorable with it though

I laugh out loud, already grinning at the messages. It's impossible not to feel so light and happy when I see them texting

My fingers move quickly to type my response, making sure to keep the mood light and playful.

Taehyung (Group Chat)
Of course I'm carrying it! Look at how cute it is! 😆🧸💛 I can't help it if Yoongi knows how to win the best prizes 😏 Thanks again for the best date ever!!! 🎢☕

I send the message before I can overthink it, and I just let my energy flow. I'm buzzing, honestly.

This feeling in my chest-it's not just from the bear, or the amusement park, or the fun we had. It's from something deeper, from the connection between us.

As I sit back, eyes still glued to my phone, I start to realize just how much I've been thinking about Yoongi.

I've been trying to ignore it, but I can't help it anymore.

The more I replay our time together, the more I realize... I'm completely smitten.

It's not just the little jokes or the way we banter.

It's the way he looks at me when he smiles, the way his calm demeanor makes everything feel right.

His presence is grounding, and I find myself craving it more and more.

The more I think about it, the more I realize how much I'm drawn to him-how much I admire him, how much I've started to care for him.

Yoongi makes me feel things I didn't expect, and every time I catch myself staring at him, I feel like I'm falling a little deeper.

There's just something about him-his confidence, his kindness, his beauty-that keeps pulling me in. I don't know where this is going, but I know I don't want it to stop.

My phone buzzes again, breaking my train of thought. It's a message from Y/N, teasing me like she always does.

Y/N (Private to Taehyung)
I swear, you're like a little kid with that bear 😂 You really like it that much? 🧸

Taehyung (Private to Y/N)
Are you kidding?! It's the best thing ever!! I'm gonna sleep with it tonight 😜👀

Y/N's reply comes quickly.
