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

Chapter 77: Everything and Nothing

Namjoon's POV

"OH MY GOD, YOU WERE ENEMIES TO LOVERS!"

Y/N noona practically screams the words, dropping the tinsel she was supposed to be draping across the fireplace mantel.

Her entire face is lit up with excitement, hands clasped together as she vibrates with pure glee.

From his spot near the tree, Taehyung gasps dramatically, pressing a hand to his chest.

"Noona, you're right."

He turns to Jin hyung and me, eyes twinkling.

"Hyungs, do you realize how iconic that is?"

Jin groans, dragging a hand down his face. "We were not enemies to lovers."

Yoongi hyung, smirking from where he's adjusting a string of fairy lights, hums.

"No? Because that first conversation sounded real antagonistic, hyung."

I exhale, pinching the bridge of my nose. "It wasn't-"

Y/N cuts me off with another squeal.

"OH! This is literally like a K-drama. Like, 'The Cynical CEO and The Broody Lawyer Who Hates Him.'"

Jin snorts.

"I was broody? He was the one trying to dismantle the entire justice system over whiskey."

"AND YOU LOVED IT, HYUNG"

Jin hyung opens his mouth-then shuts it.

Because he did love it.

Tae lets out a breathless laugh, shaking his head as he hooks another ornament onto the Christmas tree.

"Dara noona really just threw you two together like a true matchmaking mastermind."

Noona nods aggressively. "I mean, she introduced us to you, too Oppa! She's basically our soulmate cupid."

Jin lets out a groan, looking skyward. "Don't give her more of an ego."

Yoongi hyung smirks, plugging in the fairy lights and watching as the tree flickers to life. "Too late. She already knows she's good at this."

Jin hyung groans louder.

I chuckle, shaking my head, before grabbing another ornament from the box.

The cabin feels warm despite the cold winter outside, the scent of pine and cinnamon lingering in the air.

A Christmas playlist hums softly in the background.

Y/N noona and Taehyung continue giggling like schoolchildren, Jin continues pretending he isn't flustered, and Yoongi hyung is clearly enjoying all of it.

I hook a golden bauble onto a branch, stepping back to admire the way the tree is coming together.

"Okay, okay," Taehyung claps his hands together, bouncing slightly on his toes.

"We need the next part of the story."

Y/N noona gasps dramatically. "YES! We got the first meeting, but what happened after?"

Jin hyung lets out a sigh. "Must we?"

Noona and Tae both nod, completely unbothered.

Yoongi hyung leans against the arm of the couch, tilting his head toward me.

"Come on, Joon. Indulge them."

I exhale, shaking my head with a small smile. "Fine."

I glance at Jin.
His eyes meet mine.
