Chapter 31: Tae's Zoo Takeover

Yoongi's POV

As we step into the café, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and warm pastries fills the air, a stark contrast to the cool afternoon outside.

I'm feeling a strange calm as I look around the space, appreciating the warmth and cozy atmosphere, but my thoughts keep drifting back to the notifications we just received.

The tension between my ribs, the familiar feeling of something unexpected settling in my chest-it's all there, like a low hum in the background.

I glance at Y/N as she walks beside me, her fingers brushing against mine for a second before she withdraws them.

The contact was brief, but it's enough to make my heart beat a little faster.

The bond we share-already confirmed long before the app came into play-was something I didn't need confirmation for.

Yet, seeing it written on my phone was a reminder of something more tangible.

I glance down at the screen of my phone again, the words glowing there.

You have reached a Nurturing Connection with Taehyung.

The small 🌸 icon that accompanies the notification makes it clear-it's real. It's not just the app playing tricks.

This bond with Taehyung, this nurturing connection, has truly blossomed.

I didn't expect to feel so... warm about it.

As we step further into the café, Taehyung moves ahead, his long strides full of energy and excitement.

He's the kind of person who exudes life in everything he does, and today, his joy is contagious.

I can feel the lightness in the air around him, and though his usual playfulness never fades, something about the recent notifications has him walking with a newfound confidence.

Then, without warning, Taehyung lets out a loud laugh, drawing both Y/N's and my attention. "I got two!" He beams, holding up his phone with the same excitement that matched when he saw his first notification earlier. "Two notifications, guys! One for noona, and one for you, hyung!
