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

Chapter 30: Snap, Roar, Repeat

I nod, already looking forward to whatever's next.

This day has been nothing short of perfect.

And even though we're done with the main safari route, I know the adventure's not over yet.

We pull into the parking area, excited to see what the rest of the day holds.

The car rolls to a slow stop as Yoongi parks us inside the designated area.

The day is still young, but there's this warm, contented feeling that's settled over me, one that only comes after a day spent with the people you care about.

I glance at Yoongi, his hands still loosely on the wheel, his focus shifting between the parking space and the rearview mirror.

I love how easy he is, how natural this feels.

He's quiet in the way that makes me feel safe, steady in a way that balances the chaos of the world.

And as I look at him, I notice something else, something that makes me smile quietly to myself-his gaze is on me, his eyes softening when they meet mine.

I can feel the connection between us, this deep bond that's evolved over time, built on trust, laughter, and all the quiet moments in between.

I can tell he's enjoying the day just as much as I am, even though he's the one driving and trying to manage everything.

The small gestures of care he gives us, the way his eyes linger on me and Taehyung with affection, I can't help but melt under them.

But then, from the backseat, there's a playful chuckle, and it yanks me from my thoughts.

I turn to see Taehyung looking at us with a knowing grin.

"You two are so cute together," he says, his tone teasing but warm.

I laugh, feeling a little embarrassed but mostly happy. "We're just having a good time, Taehyung."

His eyes flicker between me and Yoongi, his smile widening. "Oh, I can tell. It's written all over your faces."

Yoongi snorts, clearly amused but trying to hide it. "You're one to talk, Tae. You're practically glowing every time Y/N talks to you."

Taehyung laughs, throwing me a wink from the backseat. "What can I say? I have that effect on people. I'm like a walking sunshine." He dramatically places a hand over his heart, looking exaggeratedly serious. "But, really, I think I'm just lucky to be surrounded by two amazing people."

I feel warmth bloom in my chest, but at the same time, I can't help but notice the little spark in his eyes, the way his gaze lingers on me just a bit longer than necessary.

It's like he's always on the edge of saying something, a flirtatious glint in his expression that makes my heart flutter in a way I can't quite explain.
