Man in Dreams

Support in the Quiet Corners

Maya subtly signaled to Yoongi to follow her as her mom engaged in conversation with the boys. She led him to a quiet corner of their cozy living room.

"Yoongi, are you okay? Did my mom give you a hard time?" Maya asked, her voice filled with concern.

Yoongi smiled softly, cupping Maya's face in his hands. "I'm okay, Maya. Your mom didn't give me a hard time. She just wanted to understand us better. And she cares about you a lot."

"I'm sorry if she said anything wrong," Maya said, her worry evident.

Yoongi silenced her with a gentle kiss, surprising Maya momentarily. "Don't worry, Maya. Your mom is just being a mom. She wants what's best for you. She's almost convinced, though."

Maya's eyes widened in surprise. "Really?"

Yoongi nodded, his eyes filled with warmth. "Really. She just needs some time to process everything. But we're on the right track."

Relieved, Maya wrapped her arms around Yoongi, burying her face in his chest. "Thank you for being patient with her."

Yoongi hugged her back tightly. "I'll always be patient for you, Maya."

Their moment was interrupted by Hobi, who popped his head in to check on them. "Hey, everything okay in here?"

Yoongi chuckled, giving Maya a playful squeeze. "Everything's fine, Hobi. Just navigating the complexities of family."

Hobi grinned knowingly. "Ah, the joys of potential in-laws. It's tough, isn't it?"

Yoongi nodded, patting Hobi on the shoulder. "Tell me about it."

Hobi hugged Yoongi, offering him a reassuring squeeze. "You're doing great, hyung. Maya's mom will come around. Just give her time."

Yoongi smiled gratefully at Hobi. "Thanks, Hobi. I appreciate it."

As Hobi left them alone again, Yoongi and Maya shared a knowing look. They knew challenges lay ahead, but they were ready to face them together, with love and laughter.

"So, are you a virgin, Maya?" Yoongi teased playfully.

Maya playfully pushed him away, laughing. "You supported me saying, that I'm still a virgin."

Yoongi pretended to look shocked. "I did? Then should I say that we just made love last night and Maya's kidding?"

They both burst into laughter, their bond strengthened by their ability to joke and tease each other.

After their private moment, Maya and Yoongi joined Maya's mom and the boys in the living room. The atmosphere was relaxed, filled with light chatter and occasional laughter.

Maya's mom greeted them warmly as they approached. "Come, sit down. We were just talking about your music, Yoongi."

Yoongi nodded gratefully, taking a seat next to Maya. "Thank you, Aunty. I'm glad you're interested in our music."

Jimin jumped in, eager to keep the conversation light. "Yeah, Maya's been a great inspiration to us too."

Jungkook chimed in with a smile. "Definitely. She's our secret weapon."

Hobi, "And Yoongi hyung's been our driving force. They make a great team."

Namjoon spoke up, his voice steady and reassuring. "Aunty, Maya means a lot to all of us. We'll always look out for her."

Taehyung nodded in agreement. "Absolutely, Aunty. Maya's like family to us. We'll support her no matter what."

Mrs. Janani looked at them fondly, touched by their sincerity. "Thank you, boys. It means a lot to hear that."
