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

Chapter 37: Caught in 4K

The doors shut before I can retort, leaving me standing there-breathless, flustered, and completely, hopelessly smitten.

God help me.

By the time I settle into my desk, my heart is still racing from that elevator moment.

Yoongi always has a way of making my brain short-circuit, but after last night and this morning, I feel like I'm floating in a haze of warmth, affection, and the lingering ache in my thighs that serves as a not-so-subtle reminder of just how relentless he can be.

Shaking my head, I push the thought aside and focus on my work.

Today is a big day-our team is preparing for the next LoveMap rollout, and as one of the product managers, I have to make sure everything is in place before the update goes live.

I open my laptop, reviewing the latest testing reports, when my phone buzzes beside me

Taehyung (Group Chat)
Y/N-noona!! Yoongi-hyung!!! 😆😆😆😆😆

Taehyung (Group Chat)
OMG OMG OMG I JUST SAW IT!!!

Taehyung (Group Chat)
YOU GUYS REACHED THE PASSIONATE CONNECTION PHASE!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I blink. Then blink again.

Oh no.

Before I can even process how Taehyung found out, my phone buzzes again.

Taehyung (Group Chat)
AHHHHHHHH!!!! 😆😆😆

Taehyung (Group Chat)
TELL ME EVERYTHING.

I let out a strangled noise, quickly locking my phone as if that would somehow make him stop.

But he doesn't.

Taehyung (Group Chat)
Yoongi-hyung, you DOG. 🐶🔥

Taehyung (Group Chat)
Y/N, are you alive?? Did he ruin you?? 😏😏

Taehyung (Group Chat)
Wait... don't tell me. I already know. 😉😉😉

I slap a hand over my mouth to muffle my horrified squeak. Oh my god.

I glance around, making sure no one can see the absolute chaos unfolding in my messages.

My phone buzzes again.

Taehyung (Group Chat)
I bet Yoongi-hyung was all intense and growly-like, 'baby, you don't understand how hard I'm holding back' and then BOOM.

Taehyung (Group Chat)
No more holding back. 🤭🔥

I bury my face in my hands. I swear, if I was standing right now, my knees would have given out from pure embarrassment.

Another buzz.

Taehyung (Group Chat)
OH MY GOD, WAIT-DID YOU GUYS CHECK YOUR SOULMAP??

Taehyung (Group Chat)
It's probably glowing lava red at this point. 🌋😏

I groan and finally type back.

Y/N (Group Chat)
Tae, I am at WORK. 😭

Taehyung (Group Chat)
AND?

Taehyung (Group Chat)
SO AM I. 😆

Taehyung (Group Chat)
But this is IMPORTANT.

Taehyung (Group Chat)
Did you see it update? Did you feel anything?

Taehyung (Group Chat)
Like a soulmate power-up or something? 😆✨
