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

Chapter 125: Breached, but Not Broken 🔥

He nods with a blush at the endearment.

"Okay, but can I start it with 'Y'all ever get ghosted by a hacker? Same.'" Hobi wiggles his brows.

"I'm so tired, that's actually funny," Jin oppa mumbles, eyes scanning his documents again.

Dara leans against the window ledge, arms crossed. "We're putting out every fire, but the silence from whoever did this? That's what scares me."

Joon moves beside me. "We'll make it to the Soulreach launch. Just have to delay it a bit. But we need to make sure this doesn't become part of the rollout story."

"Too late," Jae says without flinching. "One blog already called it the 'Haunted Soulmate Glitch.'"

Ha Eun lets out a strangled laugh. "Okay, lowkey iconic but also horrifying."

I sit heavily beside Yoongi, looping my arm around his waist. "We're holding it down, Yoongs. We'll solve this. You always do."

He leans into me, tension still radiating off his frame, but his fingers twitch against my hip-seeking grounding.

Joon sits on his other side, hand resting over Yoongi's. "If anyone can outsmart them, it's you."

Si Woo adds quietly, "You're my firewall hero."

Yoongi grunts. "You're all embarrassing."

"You're our favorite grump," Jin oppa corrects as he sets down another round of caffeine for the dev squad.

"And we'll start writing the myth of Min Yoongi: The Silent Sword of Cybersecurity."

"Please never call me that again."

"Too late," Jimin says, slipping in from his rehearsal, sweat-slicked and glowing.

"I already designed the merch."

He tosses a tank top on the table. It says 'Silent Sword of Cybersecurity' in bold glitchy font.

Yoongi stares at it. Blinks. "You made this today?"

"I made five," Jimin replies cheerfully. "One in each of your favorite colors."

The room finally cracks with laughter as I hug him in welcome, teary eyed from the support of all our soulmates.

Real, warm, necessary.

Even Yoongi chuckles-barely-but it's there.

And just like that, the tension doesn't vanish, but it finds new footing.

Solidarity. Resilience.

We're under siege.
But we're also together.

I stand, pulling the sleeves of my hoodie up to my elbows.

"Okay, team. This sucks. This is terrifying. But we are the damn LoveMap team. We launched a soulmate revolution. We can handle a digital ghost."

Si Woo whoops. Ha Eun and Trina fist-pumps. Jae yells "Yes, boss!" through a mouthful of egg fried rice.
