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

Chapter 64: Spoiled and Spellbound

I sit up slightly, still cradling Wacha. "Honestly, I don't think any of us stand a chance when it's our one-on-one with him."

"I'm scheduling mine for after yours," Jin Oppa teases, pointing at Namjoon.

"Let him tire you out first."

Joon scoffs playfully. "Oh please, you're gonna melt the second he calls you hyung in that cute little voice."

"Guilty," Oppa admits with zero shame.

We all burst into laughter again, the energy light and warm like a blanket wrapping around us.

Yoongi finally leans back on the couch, looking less stressed and more amused.

"Yeah... he's relentless. But... I'm not mad about it."

I grin softly. "Because you're smitten."

Yoongi exhales, cheeks faintly pink. "Yeah... I guess I am."

The screen fills with fond smiles and teasing glances, but behind the humor, there's this undercurrent of deep affection-for Tae, for each other, for everything we've built together.

"You're doomed, hyung," Namjoon says again, voice gentler this time. "But it's the good kind."

Yoongi's eyes soften. "Yeah. The really good kind."

And as I stare at the three of them, my heart swells with the quiet knowledge that Tae's not the only one who's been waiting for this.

*Buzzt*

A sharp vibration rattles my phone against my hand, and my eyes flicker to the notification at the top of the screen.

I glance at it absently-expecting maybe a message from Dara or Ha-eun-but instead, I nearly choke on my own spit.

"Oh my God," I whisper.

"What?" Yoongi asks immediately, noticing my change in expression. Jin oppa and Joon both glance up from their squares, eyebrows raised.

I blink rapidly, staring at the screen, unable to stop the slow, horrified grin from spreading across my face. "Uh... give me one second."

I swipe open the message.

Taehyung (Private to Y/N)
🐻💌 A MESSAGE FROM TAEHYUNGIE
👑 My beautiful Queen 👑

Taehyung (Private to Y/N)
I hope you're free tomorrow because I, your loyal subject, have a grand surprise planned.

Taehyung (Private to Y/N)
Where are we going? 🤫 A secret. But know this-

Taehyung (Private to Y/N)
A Queen should be treated like a Queen, and tomorrow, I will give you a Palace. 🏰✨

Taehyung (Private to Y/N)
You deserve the world, but since I can't physically hand you that yet, I'll settle for making you laugh, feeding you the best food, and looking at you like you're the only person on earth. 😘

Taehyung (Private to Y/N)
Wear something cute-though, let's be honest, you'd look divine even in a trash bag. 😌✨

Taehyung (Private to Y/N)
Pick you up at 11am? Say yes. No is not an option. 😏💖

Taehyung (Private to Y/N)
Your ever-devoted, most handsome, most charming soulmate, Taehyung 😘💋

Taehyung (Private to Y/N)
PS: YES. all the hyungs got nothing on me.

I slap a hand over my mouth to muffle the sound threatening to burst out of me.

"Y/N?" Jin Oppa's voice cuts in, suspicious. "What's happening?"
