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

Chapter 95: The Moment We Collide

And when they embraced, it was firm and grounding-Namjoon's large hand cradling the back of Jungkook's head, like he'd known it would fit there all along.

I was the last, and I pulled him into a tight hug with no words needed. He laughed into my shoulder, whispering,

"You were right. They're amazing, Noona."

I smiled. "Told you."

Then Jin oppa turned toward Hoseok, finally giving him the full attention he deserved.

"You're Hoseok," he said.

"I am."

"I'm Jin."

"I know," Hobi smiled, eyes gleaming.

"Can I call you Jin-hyung?"

Oppa blinked. "You want to?"

Hobi beamed. "Yeah. If that's okay?"

Oppa's mouth twitched into the softest smile I'd ever seen on him.

"You can. I'd really really love that."

Yoongi stepped forward, lips still parted like he hadn't fully recovered.

"I... hi," he said.

"Hi," Hobi grinned, giving him a once-over.

"Yoongi hyung?"

Yoongi blinked. "Yeah."

"Can I... hug you?"

Yoongi's voice was rough. "God, please."

The moment their bodies met, something clicked. A warmth, a pulse of recognition. Yoongi clung to him tightly, eyes shut, his entire frame just surrendering.

And Namjoon?

Hobi turned and beamed.

"Namjoon. You can call me Hobi hyung."

Joon blinked. "You're older than me?"

"by a few months, I checked."

Joon's ears turned pink.

We all laughed, the sound light and easy, like water finally spilling over after a long drought.

Hobi turned to me last.

And without hesitation, I hugged him.
He felt like peace. Like warmth on a winter morning.

"I'm so happy you're here," I whispered.

"Me too, Noona" he whispered back.

"Thank you... for loving and patiently waiting for Kook. For welcoming me with so much warmth."

We all settled into the booth after that, drinks being reordered, menus forgotten.

The conversation was a little shy at first-tentative. But it didn't take long before it began to spark.

"Wait, wait, so you're the one who made that viral 'mirror dance challenge' video?"

Jin oppa pointed at Hoseok, wide-eyed.

"Guilty," Hobi laughed. "You saw it?"

"Tae made us all try it after dinner one night," Joon said, grinning.

"We failed miserably."

"Speak for yourself," Yoongi muttered.

"I slayed that."

"Slayed what? Your back? You pulled a muscle halfway through,"

Oppa quipped.
We all howled.

Even Jungkook laughed so hard he had to wipe tears from his eyes.
