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

Chapter 97: Of Blankets, Boxes, and Belonging

"You're doing good, Jungkookie."

Jungkook froze for half a second, ears going pink. "Thanks, hyung," he mumbled, hiding his flustered grin behind a spatula.

The chaos multiplied as more soulmates trickled in.

Hobi was next, practically gliding into the room, hair an artful mess.

"Sunshine has arrived," he declared dramatically, immediately beelining to kiss Jungkook on the lips.

"Our nurturing phase baby!" he squealed, hugging him.

"Congratulations, Koo!"

Jungkook blinked. "You know?"

Joon, already pouring coffee, raised a brow. "We all receive notifications on everyone's level"

I grinned, fishing out my phone.

"Yup! and LoveMap updated last night. You and Namjoon hit the Nurturing Connection Phase."

The room went silent for a beat-before Oppa appeared in the doorway with a wild case of bedhead and shouted,

"WE HAVE A NEW LEVEL UNLOCKED!"

"Oh my god," Jungkook whispered, blushing furiously as Hobi literally danced around him.

Joon just chuckled softly, arm slung casually around Jungkook's shoulder as he pulled him in and pressed a kiss to the side of his head.

"Guess we're official now, huh?"

"Officially adorable," Jin oppa muttered, elbowing Tae-who had just arrived, yawning and rubbing his eyes.

Tae blinked, then promptly leaned into my side, sleepily pressing a kiss to my shoulder.

"You left me."

"I needed air."

"You are my air,"

"ok ok, baby bear" I snicker at his cuteness.

"Waffles?" he asked groggily.

"Love first," I said, cupping his face to kiss his nose.

He smiled sleepily, then kissed my cheek back, and then-without warning-Yoongi's lips were on his, slow and lingering.

Tae melted into it like a flower in the sun.

"Morning, jagi," Yoongi murmured against his lips.

"Best morning," Tae whispered back, eyes still barely open.

Joon laughed. "Do we get a schedule for kisses now?"

"Oh please," Jin oppa said, gliding over with a yawn. "You act like you don't demand good morning kisses."

"I don't-"

Oppa shuts him up with a kiss that was all teeth and tenderness. "There. Satisfied, love?"

"More than," Joon replied, dazed.

Yoongi sidled closer to Jin oppa, wrapping an arm around his waist and placing a kiss behind his ear.

Jin turned to look at him,and just like that, Yoongi kissed him-slow, soft, intimate.

"Oh wow," Tae muttered. "Soft yoongi is active this morning. Now I'm blushing."

"Then come here, baby bear," Jin oppa teased, grabbing Tae and pulling him in for a loud kiss on the cheek, and then another.

"This one's for waking up cutely. This one's for surviving the Great Guest Room Pile."
