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

Chapter 37: Caught in 4K

Soojin slaps my desk. "Suga, daaangg! Who is she? Wait-"

She gasps again. "Is it her?"

My eyes narrow. "Who?"

"Y/N." Her grin widens. "It is, isn't it?"

I groan, rubbing my temples. "You guys are exhausting."

Jinho grins. "You didn't deny it."

Soojin leans in, smirking. "Oh my god. You had sex last night."

I almost knock over my coffee.
"Jesus Christ, Soojin."

Her smirk grows. "And this morning."

"Okay, I'm done." I grab my keyboard, ready to slam my forehead against it.

"Don't lie," Jinho adds. "You're literally glowing."

"I am not-"

Soojin nods. "Oh, he's glowing."

Jinho sighs dreamily. "Must be nice."

Soojin pats my shoulder. "We're happy for you."

"I hate you both."

"You love us."

I groan again, turning to my screen, desperate to drown them out with work.

But-admittedly-I can't stop the small smile tugging at my lips.

Because they're not wrong.

I am in love.

The evening sun filters through Y/N's apartment, casting a warm glow as we settle onto the couch, my arm draped lazily over her shoulders.

The TV hums in the background, playing some drama she insisted we watch, but I barely register what's happening on screen.

Because she's fidgeting.

I glance at her from the corner of my eye, watching as she chews on her bottom lip, tapping her fingers against her thigh.

"Just say it," I murmur, squeezing her shoulder.

She blinks up at me. "Say what?"

I smirk. "Whatever's making you twitchy."

She pouts. "I'm not twitchy."

I arch a brow. "Baby, you're practically vibrating."

She exhales, rolling her eyes. "Fine. I was just thinking about your upcoming date with Tae this Saturday."

I hum, shifting to face her fully. "And?"

She tilts her head, a small smile forming. "And I'm excited."

I blink. "You are?"

"Of course!" She nudges me. "Tae's been talking about wanting to take you out forever. It's cute and he's been very flirty, I love it"

I chuckle, shaking my head. "He's been teasing me about it more than talking about it."

Y/N grins. "Yeah, but that's just his way of hiding how much he really wants this."

My chest warms at her words. It's true-

Taehyung has a way of masking his sincerity with playful chaos, but I've seen the way he looks at me, the way he looks at us.

He's already a part of this. He just hasn't realized how deep he's in yet.

"You're excited, right?" She eyes me closely, searching my face.
