Man in Dreams

Campfire Confession

The evening air was crisp, the fire crackling softly in the center of their campsite. BTS had decided to unwind after a long day with a casual barbecue and campfire. Yoongi, usually composed and focused, found himself unable to shake off the unsettling dream he had the previous night—where the boys had denied their relationship with Maya. His thoughts weighed heavily on him as he attempted to cook for everyone, but his turmoil led to a rare mishap in the kitchen. The food turned out poorly, a stark contrast to Yoongi's usual culinary expertise.

The boys noticed immediately. Jimin wrinkled his nose at the burnt smell, while Jungkook cautiously poked at the charred food. "Yoongi hyung, what happened?" he asked, concern etched on his face.

Yoongi sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I... I don't know. I guess I wasn't paying attention."

Hobi, sensing something was amiss, pulled Yoongi aside gently. "Hyung, are you okay? You seem off today."

Yoongi hesitated, unsure how to articulate his feelings. "I... I had a weird dream last night," he admitted quietly. "About Maya and me."

Hobi's brow furrowed with concern. "What kind of dream?"

Yoongi looked away, the memory of the dream still vivid in his mind. "It was... strange. The boys were saying things, denying that Maya and I were together. It felt so real."

Hobi placed a comforting hand on Yoongi's shoulder. "Hyung, dreams can mess with your head sometimes. But you know Maya, and you know how you feel about her."

Yoongi nodded slowly, grateful for Hobi's understanding. "I know. It's just... what if it's more than a dream? What if it's a sign of things to come?"

Hobi shook his head reassuringly. "Don't overthink it, hyung. We've all got your back, and Maya's too. Whatever happens, we'll face it together."

Yoongi managed a small smile, touched by Hobi's unwavering support. "Thanks, Hobi. I needed to hear that."

As the evening progressed, Yoongi found himself drawn to Maya's presence, her quiet strength and unwavering support a source of comfort amidst his uncertainties. When Namjoon suggested truth or dare, Yoongi decided to play along, hoping to find clarity amidst the camaraderie of their group.

The bottle spun and questions flew, until it landed on Namjoon again. He looked at Maya with a knowing smile. "Maya, truth or dare?"

Maya met Namjoon's gaze, understanding his intentions. She glanced at Yoongi subtly, signaling him to go along with her plan. "Truth."

Namjoon leaned forward, his voice gentle yet probing. "Tell us about your love. Who is it?"

Maya took a deep breath, her heart pounding. "It's Yoongi."

The boys exchanged surprised glances, the revelation sinking in. Yoongi froze, caught off guard by Maya's bold declaration in front of everyone. Despite their act, a small smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

"And... does he feel the same way?" Jimin asked, curiosity brimming in his voice.

Yoongi struggled to find words, his heart racing. He glanced at Maya, who nodded encouragingly, silently urging him to trust their friends. His eyes met hers, and for a brief moment, they shared a knowing smile—a shared secret amidst their act.

"Yes," Yoongi said finally, his voice steady but his gaze uncertain. "Yes, I like her."

The boys erupted into cheers and teasing remarks, clapping Yoongi on the back. Yoongi felt a mix of relief and apprehension, his mind racing with thoughts of the future. Maya couldn't help but smile at Yoongi's genuine discomfort, knowing he was playing his part for the sake of their relationship.
