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

Chapter 45: Days That Feel Light Again

A shiver runs down my spine before I can stop it.

And I hate that I almost melt on the spot.

When I glance back, Dara watches all of this unfold with a level of amusement I resent.

She doesn't say anything.

She just smiles knowingly before turning back toward her office.

She is so freaking cool.

Yoongi simply walks away, victorious.

And I am absolutely done with both of them.

______________

The conference room is alive with quiet energy as the team settles in.

Conversations murmur in the background, but my focus is on the front of the room, where Dara Lee stands, poised as always.

She's effortlessly composed, holding the kind of presence that makes people listen.

I sit up a little straighter, fingers drumming lightly against my notebook.

I don't know why I do it-maybe it's instinct, maybe it's habit-but something about her makes me want to appear more put-together than I actually am.

Dara clicks the remote, and the first slide flashes across the screen.

"Let's dive in," she says smoothly.

Her voice is even, practiced, assured in a way that makes it clear she's done this a thousand times before.

"Since the launch of our Awareness Campaigns, we've seen a 32% increase in user engagement. Donations have risen 19%, and the Influencer for Good initiative has brought in over fifty verified partners."

A quiet hum of approval moves through the room.

I glance at the numbers, eyebrows raising slightly. That's... impressive.

I whistle under my breath. "That's incredible."

Dara nods once, expression calm but clearly pleased. "The data is strong, but we need to push further. The next phase of the project is critical."

She clicks to the next slide.

"ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES."

A beat of silence follows.

I blink. I wasn't expecting this, but I should have been.

Yoongi, seated beside me, leans forward slightly. "Expanding usability for disabled users?"

Dara meets his gaze and nods once. "Yes. LoveMap is already a government-mandated platform, but accessibility remains an overlooked aspect in app development. That changes now."

She clicks the remote again, revealing a list of key upgrades:

- Text-to-Speech Integration for visually impaired users.
- Speech-to-Text Features for those with mobility impairments.
- Enhanced Visual Contrast Modes for users with color blindness.
- Keyboard Navigation Improvements for users relying on screen readers.
