Man in Dreams

Trauma

Maya, determined and ready to face Suga, walked boldly through the hallway. Just as she was about to turn the corner, her friend Choi stopped her abruptly. "Maya, wait! Someone is waiting for you, and it seems urgent," Choi said with a concerned look.

Confused and unsure of who it could be, Maya decided to text Suga. She typed quickly, "I need some time, as someone is waiting for me. Once I'm done, we can meet."

Suga, feeling a pang of disappointment as he read her message, replied, "No worries. You carry on with your stuff. We will be heading out soon."

Feeling a bit guilty, Maya texted back, "Sorry. I'll catch up soon. Thank you for understanding, Yoongi."

As she looked around, the rest of the team approached Maya to say their goodbyes before leaving. Hobi, ever the supportive friend, patted her head affectionately and praised her, "Amazing performance, Maya!"

V, with his usual charm, added, "Your classical dance was truly breathtaking." He was so impressed that he gave her a hug, which left everyone around them in shock.

As Maya looked up, she saw Suga standing right in front of her, a look of jealousy evident in his eyes. He quickly said, "Let's leave," his voice hurried and strained, as if he wanted to vacate the place before losing his composure.

Maya took a bow and thanked everyone once again for coming. "Thank you all so much for your support," she said with a gracious smile. Then, she turned and made her way to meet the person who had been waiting for her.

As she reached the basement, she saw the boys leaving, their figures disappearing into the distance. She also spotted the person who had been waiting for her.

"Hi sir, how may I help you?" Maya asked, trying to sound cheerful.

"Hi beautiful," the man leered, his eyes undressing her. "Hope you had a good time with Yoongi before the performance."

"Who the hell are you?" Maya demanded, her anger rising. "And what business is it of yours what I do with Yoongi?"

"You dare to raise your voice to me, baby girl?" The man sneered, taking a step closer to her. "That's not very smart."

"Okay, fine. Who are you and why are you asking so many questions?" Maya crossed her arms, trying to look braver than she felt.

"I'm someone who can make your life very difficult if you don't cooperate," he threatened, pulling out his phone. "I have proof of you and Yoongi together. Do you think his fans will still love him when they see this?" Maya's eyes widened as she saw the video of her and Yoongi adjusting Maya's hair.

Her mind raced as she tried to think of a way to get out of this situation. "I don't care what you think you have," Maya lied, trying to sound confident. "I don't have to explain myself to you."

"Oh, but you do," he said, his smile growing wider. "You see, I'm a reporter. And if you don't do what I say, I'll make sure this video goes viral. His reputation will be ruined."

Maya felt a chill run down her spine as he took a step closer to her. "What do you want?" She tried to keep her voice steady.

"I want you," he whispered, his breath hot against her ear. "And I always get what I want."

"In your dreams," Maya spat, trying to push him away.

The man suddenly grabbed Maya's hand and pulled her inside the car, forcing kisses on her. In desperation, Maya reached for her phone and smashed it against his head, managing to ring her emergency contact. Enraged, the man screamed, "How dare you! I will teach you a lesson," hitting her hard and starting to harass her.

Meanwhile, Hobi's phone rang. "Hi Bubli, what's up? MAYA!" he screamed, panic rising in his voice. He immediately instructed the driver to turn back to the venue.

The boys, noticing his distress, asked, "Why, is there a problem?"

Hobi, in a frantic state, replied, "I'm not sure, but I could hear Maya screaming for help."

Suga, shocked and with his heart racing, urged, "What then? Let's hurry!"

Back at the scene, the man tore Maya's dress and began removing his pants. Maya struggled fiercely, pushing him away and hitting him as best as she could. He retaliated, hitting her back with such force that she started to lose consciousness. As tears streamed down her face, she prayed for help to arrive soon.

The boys arrived at the parking lot just in time to hear the commotion. Hobi and Suga rushed faster towards the car. Hobi grabbed the man and started punching him repeatedly. Suga, seeing the state Maya was in, yelled, "Shit, are you okay?" He quickly removed his jacket and covered her, tears welling up in his eyes as he looked at her bruised and battered form. Maya weakly reached out her fingers to his face before losing consciousness completely. Suga gently carried her inside, furious at himself for being late. He laid her on a bed, his anger boiling over the situation.

The boys quickly called 911, ensuring that the assailant was arrested. "Assailants roared back it's not over yet".

Later then Hobi approached RM, his request hanging heavy in the air. "I want to be with Maya," he stated firmly. RM nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation, and agreed without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Suga lay near Maya's bedside, his tears falling silently as he tenderly tended to her wounds. With each gentle touch, he silently prayed for her to open her eyes, his heart aching with the weight of his love and worry.

As Maya stirred and her eyes fluttered open, she found Suga by her side, his tear-streaked face a mix of relief and remorse. "I'm sorry I troubled you," she whispered, tears welling up in her eyes. Suga's embrace was instant and tight, his own tears mingling with hers as he held her close. "I'm sorry for not being with you when you needed me the most," he murmured, his voice thick with emotion. "Are you okay? Are you feeling pain anywhere else?" he asked, his concern palpable.

"I am okay, but I can't shake off the fear," Maya admitted, her voice trembling with lingering terror. Suga's grip on her hand tightened, his determination to protect her burning brighter than ever.

Just then, Hobi entered the room, concern etched on his face as he saw Suga holding Maya close. Though he wanted to give them space, he knew he couldn't leave Maya alone in her time of need.

Suga cupped Maya's face gently, his eyes searching hers with unwavering resolve. "You're okay now. I will make sure you will be fine. Don't worry, I'm with you. Don't be terrified, I am with you," he promised, pressing a tender kiss to her forehead before turning to Hobi, his expression steely with determination.

Hobi's shock was evident as Suga demanded answers about the assailant. "What do you mean?" Hobi asked, his confusion apparent. Suga's frustration flared, his anger bubbling to the surface as he insisted on getting information to ensure Maya's safety.

"Only she knows what exactly happened," Hobi conceded, his gaze shifting to Maya. "Now tell us what happened so that we could help you," he urged gently.

As Maya recounted the harrowing incident, Suga's phone rang, interrupting the tense atmosphere. "Are you coming, men?" RM's voice came through the phone.

Suga's reaction was immediate and fierce. "Just shut the fuck up! I'm not leaving her," he snapped, his fury boiling over as he threw the phone and unleashed his anger on the nearby wall.

Hobi's attempt to calm him down only fueled Suga's guilt. "I'm sorry, it's all because of me," he confessed, his voice laced with self-blame.

"No need to say sorry. I am okay," Maya reassured him, her hand reaching out to both Suga and Hobi. "I really tried my best to stop that man from nearing me, and luckily, God sent you guys when I needed you the most."

In that moment, as their hands intertwined, Suga vowed to never let Maya face such horrors alone again, his determination to protect her stronger than ever.
