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

Chapter 80: Love, Laughter & Liquor

Yoongi, sprawled lazily against his chair, raises a brow. "And the food coma we're all currently suffering from doesn't count?"

Tae waves him off. "That was the appetizer. This-"

he uncaps the soju bottle with a flourish,

"-is the main event."

Namjoon, ever the responsible one, sighs as he adjusts his glasses. "What kind of game are we talking about?"

Tae's grin turns positively wicked.

"One that tests our true knowledge of each other."

I narrow my eyes, already suspicious.

"Go on."

Tae leans forward, eyes glinting under the firelight. "We play Never Have I Ever."

Groans and laughs erupt at once.

Jin oppa immediately protests, "Absolutely not. I have to look you all in the eyes tomorrow."

"Oh, come on," Tae wheedles, pouring a round of shots like he's already won.

"Where's your sense of adventure?"

Yoongi, who has been watching all of this with thinly veiled amusement, finally smirks.

"Fine. But if I drink, I don't want to hear anything about it later."

Tae's eyes sparkle. "That's the spirit."

Namjoon groans again, but he doesn't stop Tae from placing a shot glass in front of him.

He just shakes his head with fond exasperation, muttering,

"This is going to get out of hand so fast."

I settle back into my seat, curling my fingers around my glass, already bracing myself for whatever chaos Tae is about to unleash.

Tae clears his throat dramatically.

"I'll start. Just a warm up. Never have I ever... secretly judged one of my soulmates' fashion choices."

Jin oppa, Yoongi, and I immediately take a shot.

Tae gasps, scandalized. "Excuse me?"

Jin oppa sets his glass down with a smug smile. "Cub, you have literally worn a bathrobe to the grocery store."

"That was a statement." Tae pouts.

"Yeah, the statement was 'I just rolled out of bed,'" Yoongi deadpans, earning a laugh from all of us.

Tae sulks, but I reach over and ruffle his hair. "Don't worry, we love your... creative choices."

"Damn right you do," he huffs, though I don't miss the pleased little smile he tries to hide.

Joon lifts his glass, eyes dancing with mischief now.

"Okay my turn, Never have I ever had a sex dream about someone at this table."

A chorus of ohhhhhhhs echoes around us.

I expect hesitation. Some squirming.

Maybe even a lie or two.

Instead?

Every single one of us takes a drink.

There's a beat of stunned silence before

Jin oppa coughs. "Wait. Everyone?"

Tae cackles, setting his glass down with zero shame. "That's what happens when you're all ridiculously attractive."
