Man in Dreams

Heartfelt Reunion

Maya met Mr. Seong-Ho near the gate. "Hi Maya, nice to meet you. I’m Seong-Ho, J-Hope’s bodyguard," he greeted her.

"Nice to meet you too," Maya replied, extending her hand with a genuine smile.

"Let's go," he directed, leading the way to the car. Maya felt a mix of excitement and nervousness, having never received such VIP treatment before.

As Seong-Ho opened the car door, Maya was pleasantly surprised to see Hobi inside, waiting for her. "Hi, Bubli! I missed you so much," he greeted her with a radiant smile.

"Oh, my Sunshine! I missed you a lot!" Maya exclaimed, opening her arms for a tight hug. His embrace brought warmth and comfort.

"You were amazing, Hobi! I watched almost all your performances. OMG, I am so happy to be your friend and I am so proud of you," she said, tears of joy streaming down her face.

"Hey, it's okay. Come on, cheer up! I’m the lucky one to have someone like you," Hobi said, playfully pulling at her cheeks.

Maya giggled, wiping her tears. "You and your cheek-pulling! You never change."

"Would you want me to?" Hobi teased, winking at her.

"Never!" Maya laughed. As they drove, they caught up on each other's lives, the car filled with the sounds of their animated conversation.

"So, how's everything been going for you?" Hobi asked, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"Busy, but good. The dance performances have been amazing, and Joe has been such a great support," Maya replied.

"Joe, huh? Should I be jealous about your new friend?" Hobi teased, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.

"Only if you want to be," Maya shot back, sticking her tongue out playfully. "How’s Yoongi holding up?"

"He’s been really tired but hanging in there. We all miss you," Hobi said, his tone turning more serious. "How about you? How have you been managing without us around?"

"It’s been tough, honestly. I miss you guys a lot. But knowing you’re out there doing what you love keeps me going," Maya admitted, her voice tinged with emotion.

Hobi reached out and squeezed her hand. "We miss you too, Maya. So much."

They shared a moment of silence, both feeling the weight of their emotions. Then, Hobi suddenly broke into a grin. "Remember that time we tried to learn that complicated dance routine and kept tripping over each other in school?"

Maya burst out laughing. "How could I forget? We ended up collapsing in a heap on the floor, laughing so hard we couldn’t breathe."

"Good times," Hobi said, chuckling. "We should recreate that disaster sometime."

"I’m up for it! Let’s show the world how not to dance," Maya quipped, both of them laughing until tears streamed down their faces.

Hobi’s face lit up with mischief. "Remember that time we tried to cook dinner and almost set the kitchen on fire?"

Maya burst out laughing. "How could I forget? You were so confident with that recipe, and then—boom! Chaos!"

"Hey, it wasn’t that bad," Hobi defended, laughing. "Okay, maybe it was. But we had fun, didn't we?"

"Always," Maya agreed, smiling fondly.

They continued to talk about their lives, catching up on everything they had missed. The car ride was filled with moments of shared joy and understanding, a cherished time for both of them.

As they neared their destination, Maya felt a sense of contentment wash over her. "I’ve really missed this, Hobi. Just being ourselves, laughing and crying together. It feels like home."

Hobi squeezed her hand gently. "Me too, Bubli. Our bond is something special. No matter how much time passes or where we are, we'll always have this."

As they arrived at their destination, Maya felt a deep sense of gratitude for the bond she shared with Hobi. Despite the ups and downs, their friendship had only grown stronger over the years.

"Here we are," Hobi announced as the car came to a stop. "Ready for some more adventures?"

"Yes always," Maya replied, her heart full of warmth and happiness.

They arrived at the apartment where the boys eagerly awaited Maya's arrival. As she walked in, her eyes scanned the room, hoping to catch sight of Yoongi. Not finding him immediately caused a pang of disappointment, but she masked it with a warm smile when she saw the other members.

"Hi guys, long time no see," Maya greeted them warmly as they gathered around her.

"We missed you, Maya," Jimin said, pulling her into a tight hug.

"I missed you all too," Maya replied, returning their embraces with a smile.

"Where's Yoongi?" Maya asked, unable to hide her curiosity.

"Oh, someone's here just for Yoongi, huh?" Jungkook teased with a playful grin, earning chuckles from the others.

Maya rolled her eyes playfully. "Please, Jungkook. I'm here to see all of you."

"Yeah, right," Jin chimed in teasingly. "We know who you've been asking about since you landed."

"Hey, it's not like that," Maya protested with a laugh. "I'm just eager to see everyone."

Taehyung leaned in with a mischievous twinkle in his eye. "Sure, Maya. But we all know you light up the most when Yoongi's around."

"You guys are relentless," Maya chuckled, shaking her head. "Can't a girl just miss her friends equally?"

Hoseok joined in, wrapping an arm around Maya's shoulders. "Don't worry, Maya. Yoongi hyung will be here soon. He wouldn't want to miss seeing you."

"Yeah, he's probably just putting on his best outfit for you," Jungkook added, earning a playful shove from Jin.

Maya laughed along with them, feeling grateful for their teasing banter. It was like being back with family, where every joke and jest brought warmth and familiarity.

"I'm sure he's just busy," Maya finally said, trying to sound nonchalant as she shrugged off their teasing. "I can wait."

Just then, RM stepped in with a smile, sensing Maya's slight discomfort. "You guys are giving her a hard time, aren't you?"

The boys chuckled guiltily, knowing RM was about to play peacemaker.

"We're just teasing her, Namjoon," Jimin said with a sheepish grin.

Namjoon nodded knowingly. "Maya, don't mind them. They're just excited to see you too, even if they express it in their own unique ways."

"I know," Maya said, smiling gratefully at RM. "Thanks, Namjoon."

"Anytime," RM replied warmly, his leadership calming the atmosphere. "Yoongi will be here soon he is busy with the productions. Until then, let's catch up and enjoy our time together."

Yoongi gestured for the boys to hold off, signaling that he wanted to surprise Maya himself. With a mischievous smile, he approached her from behind and gently covered her eyes. Maya instantly recognized Yoongi's touch, feeling the warmth of his hands as they traced his fingertips.

"Mr. Min Yoongi," she murmured, removing his hands and turning to face him. Their eyes locked, and in that moment, they both could feel the depth of their longing for each other. Tears welled up in Maya's eyes, betraying the emotions she had tried so hard to suppress. Unable to hold back any longer, she pulled him into a tight embrace.

"I missed you," she whispered softly, their shared secret relationship adding an extra layer of intensity to their reunion. They broke apart slightly, not wanting to reveal too much in front of the others.

"I missed you too," Yoongi replied, his warm smile masking the frustration of not being able to openly express his love. Deep down, he hated the constraints that kept them from openly acknowledging their feelings for each other.

Their reunion was a mix of joy and restraint, a moment of intense emotions carefully guarded in the presence of their friends.
