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

Chapter 83: Obedience and Desire 🔥

Silence.

A beat.

And then—

Like clockwork, something clicked.

The puzzle pieces slammed into place.

Oppa, Tae, and I froze, eyes widening in horrified realization.

Taehyung… had interrupted one of us.

Again.

"Oh my God," Jin oppa whispered.

"Oh my God," I echoed.

Taehyung’s eyes darted between us.

"Wait—wait—"

Jin oppa smacked the table.

"TAE!"

"WHAT?!"

"You cockblocked them!"

"I did not!"

"What is with you and your timing!?!?"

I hissed, leaning in.

"Think about it—months of tension, all that unresolved desire, they were finally about to—"

"And then Tae just strolled in, probably even beaming like a goddamn ass,"

Jin oppa finished, shaking his head in mock disappointment.

Taehyung’s face turned a shade of pink.

"I—I didn’t know!" he spluttered.

"And I wasn’t grinning! I just woke up!!"

Jin oppa lets out a dramatic sigh, rubbing his temples like this was physically painful for him.

"Taehyung. My sweet, oblivious child. Did you not feel the sheer atmosphere in that kitchen?"

Tae crossed his arms, looking indignant.

"I was barely awake! I just wanted some water!"

"You didn’t just get water, you got in the way of romance, of destiny,"

I dramatically shake my head him.

"Cockblocker"

I added.

Oppa clicked his tongue.

"They weren’t even fighting, were they?"

"No," Taehyung muttered.

"Were they standing very close?"

"...Yes," he admitted.

"Were they looking at each other like they were either about to kill or devour each other?"

"...Maybe," Taehyung mumbled, suddenly very interested in his rice.

Jin oppa and I turned to each other with wide, knowing eyes.

"But they weren’t—They weren’t even kissing yet!"

Tae tried again, his voice desperate now.

"But they were going to!"

Jin oppa and I shouted in unison.

Tae groaned, dragging his hands down his face.

"Oh my god."

"You walked in right before the kiss, didn’t you?" I demanded.

Tae opened his mouth, then snapped it shut.

His guilty silence was all the confirmation we needed.

Jin oppa slammed his hand on the table.

"You ruined a moment!"
