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

Chapter 42: Operation Sibling Love

Yoongi strokes a hand down his back. "Good."

And as I close my eyes, letting the warmth of them surround me, I know-

We're still healing.

But we're getting there.

________________

Some moments are soft.

Like the way Yoongi presses a cup of tea into Taehyung's hands before he even asks for it.

Or the way Taehyung automatically reaches for my hand whenever we're on the couch, like he just needs to be touching one of us at all times.

Or the way he still sleeps with the giant teddy bear Yoongi won for him-holding it close like a security blanket.

And some moments are chaos.

Like the time Yoongi caught Taehyung secretly feeding Yeontan pieces of chicken from his plate at dinner.

"Tae," Yoongi had sighed, watching as Yeontan happily munched away.

Taehyung had frozen, eyes wide, hand mid-air with another tiny piece of chicken.

"...Yes, hyung?"

Yoongi raised an eyebrow. "Are you feeding him?"

Taehyung blinked, clearly debating whether to lie or not.

Then-

He shoved the piece of chicken in his mouth instead after yeontan had already licked it.

I choked on my drink.

Yoongi pinched the bridge of his nose. "I just-"

"He's a growing boy," Taehyung argued, still chewing.

"He's a dog" Yoongi deadpanned.

Taehyung huffed, leaning down to press a kiss to Yeontan's head. "Ignore him, my love."

Yoongi sighed, rubbing his temple. "This is my life now."

And honestly?

I wouldn't trade it for anything.

_______________

Operation Sibling Love has officially entered its final form.

At this point, Yeontan and Wacha are no longer just coexisting.

They're... dare I say it... bonded.

It happens one afternoon when we're all lounging in the living room.

Yoongi is reading a book.

Taehyung is lying on the floor with Yeontan on his chest, scrolling through his phone.

And Wacha-who now freely wanders into whatever room Yeontan is in without so much as a hiss-is perched on the couch beside me, grooming herself in the lazy, luxurious way only a cat can.
