Man in Dreams

Rival

"Sejin, drop me home. I don't have anything else planned for today," Suga said, his voice softer now that his anger had subsided.

"Hey Joon, tell me where Maya lives so I can visit her sometime," Sejin asked casually. RM took a sip of water, swallowing hard. "Are you okay?" Sejin asked, noticing his discomfort.

"Yes, I'm fine. I heard Maya is with her parents because of that tragic incident yesterday. She didn't want her parents to find out about it," RM lied smoothly, his voice steady enough to hide the falsehood.

"Alright, let me know when she's back. I'd like to make some time to meet her," Sejin replied.

"Sure thing," RM said, turning away. Yoongi smiled playfully, earning a playful hit from RM to shut up.

As Yoongi got out of the car, he began talking to Sejin about the prisoner. Meanwhile, RM noticed Maya standing on the balcony. Without delay, he texted Joe to take her back inside. Seeing no immediate action, he turned to Suga. "Can you ask Maya to call me when she's free?" he requested, his eyes urging Suga to leave.

"Oh sure, bye then. I'll take my leave," Suga said, flipping his hair. He glanced towards the balcony and saw Joe pulling Maya inside.

Maya was startled by Joe's sudden reaction, unaware of RM's text. "What are you doing, Mr. Joe?" she asked, confused.

"Sorry, I got a text to take you inside, so I had to pull you," Joe explained.

"Oh, okay," Maya replied, walking away as they heard the doorbell. Joe quickly asked her to hide inside, and Maya fled into Suga's room in a split second. "Hi, buddy," Joe's voice was a relief.

"Hi, Joe. Where's Maya?" Suga asked.

"She's inside. Yoongi, I wanted to tell you something," Joe began.

"Just a minute. I'll see her first. Freshen up and then we can talk. I have something important to tell you too," Suga replied.

"Sure, take your time," Joe said, returning to his work.

Suga knocked on the door and opened it, seeing Maya standing behind it. "Oh, it's you," she said, and took a deep breath. Yoongi closed the distance between them, his eyes darkening with desire. He kissed her with an intensity that made her knees weak, his lips claiming hers as if he'd been starving for her. His kiss deepened, his tongue exploring every corner of her mouth, and Maya responded with equal fervor, her heart racing.

His hands moved from her face to her waist, holding her gently yet firmly, pulling her closer until there was no space left between them. The world outside ceased to exist; it was just the two of them, lost in each other.

"I've missed you so much," Yoongi whispered against her lips, his breath hot and ragged. He kissed her again, more urgently, their mouths moving together in a perfect dance. She melted into him, her hands tangling in his hair, pulling him closer, deeper.

He broke the kiss, their breaths mingling as they gasped for air. "Having someone who is truly yours is something special," Suga murmured, his voice husky with emotion. He pressed her against the wall, his eyes burning into hers with a fiery intensity. Maya pulled him closer, her lips finding his again, kissing him with a desperate passion as if afraid he'd disappear.

Her hands moved behind his neck, fingers weaving through his hair, while his hands roamed down her back, sliding under her shirt to feel her warm skin. Their kisses grew hungrier, more demanding, as if trying to make up for lost time.

Suga lifted her effortlessly, and Maya wrapped her legs around his waist, their bodies pressed tightly together. He carried her to the bed, laying her down gently, their eyes locked with an unspoken promise of forever. He leaned down, capturing her lips once more, his hands exploring her body with a reverence that made her shiver.

Just then, Maya's phone buzzed, jolting them back to reality. They broke apart, breaths heavy, hearts pounding, the moment shattered but the intensity of their connection undeniable.

Maya answered her phone, slightly breathless. "Hi Hobi, what's up?" she said, still catching her breath after pulling away from Suga's kisses.

"Are you okay?" Hobi asked, his voice filled with panic.

"Nothing, I just came running inside to answer the call," Maya replied, glancing at Suga with a shy smile. He smirked back at her, playfully flipping his hair before heading to the closet to change. As he stood near the closet, Yoongi couldn't help but giggle, reminiscing about their recent romantic encounter.

"So, bubli, are you comfortable there?" Hobi asked with concern.

"I'm all good, bublu. Don't worry, Yoongi just returned and Mr. Joe is here to help me," Maya reassured him.

"Fine then. Let me know if you need anything. I'm here for you," Hobi responded.

"I know, my Sunshine. You take care too. Don't worry about me; I have you guys," Maya assured him before ending the call.

Maya looked at Suga and felt a surge of happiness, realizing how lucky she was to have him by her side. Suddenly, she blurted out, "Yoongi, marry me!"

Suga turned around, a teasing smile on his face. "Get your documents ready," he laughed.

"I'm not joking," Maya giggled.

"Neither am I," he said seriously, coming closer to her. "I will, one day," he whispered, giving her a gentle kiss before walking to the hall where Joe was waiting for him.

Maya was on cloud nine, her heart swelling with joy at his words "I will". She started to blush hard, biting the bed playfully, feeling completely and utterly happy.

Suga grabbed two beers and settled next to Joe, passing one to him with a casual nod. "You look different, Yoongi," Joe remarked, his voice filled with an unmistakable glee.

"Nothing special," Suga replied, taking a sip of his beer. As the taste faded from his lips, his gaze drifted to Maya, who had disappeared into the kitchen. He felt a swell of happiness wash over him at the thought of being in love with her, but he quickly refocused on Joe. "You said you had something important to tell me?"

Joe's lips curved into a small smile, but his eyes sparkled with intensity. "I guess I'm in love," he confessed, his tone betraying both excitement and uncertainty.

Suga's eyes widened in genuine surprise. "Omg! Jinja! Since when? Who is it?"

"It's her," Joe whispered, his eyes never leaving Maya's retreating figure. "Maya."

Suga was momentarily speechless, his mind racing to process the revelation. "I fell in love with her the moment I saw her," Joe continued, his voice trembling with emotion. "It's the first time I've ever felt this way."

Just then, Maya returned with a plate of snacks for Joe and Suga, her presence causing Suga's heart to flutter with a mixture of joy and jealousy. "Suga oppa, are you okay?" she asked, her concern evident in her voice.

"I'm good, thanks," Suga replied with a forced smile, his eyes lingering on Maya as she turned her attention back to Joe.

As Maya busied herself with the snacks "Please enjoy" and excused herself going in, Suga took a deep breath, steeling himself for what he was about to say. "You have a rival," he stated firmly, locking eyes with Joe.

"What? Who?" Joe's voice grew serious, his earlier excitement replaced by a sense of urgency.

"Me," Suga declared, his tone leaving no room for doubt. He watched as Joe's expression shifted from surprise to disbelief, then to determination.

"I will try to make her mine soon," Joe vowed, his voice tinged with defiance.

Suga laughed, a bitter edge creeping into his tone. "In your dreams. In reality, she's almost mine."

Joe's heart skipped a beat at Suga's words, a flicker of doubt clouding his features. But he quickly regained his composure, meeting Suga's gaze with unwavering resolve. "I'll do whatever it takes to win her over," he declared.

"Up to you," Suga replied coolly, though there was a hint of challenge in his voice. "But there are no chances of winning."
