Space Academy had never looked more alive.

Colorful banners fluttered across the massive campus, fairy lights wrapped around pillars, stalls lined up with student-made art, music echoing softly in the air. The huge flex near the main stage read:

“ANNUAL YOUTH FEST – SPACE ACADEMY”

Students poured in from every department, excitement buzzing through the crowd. Laughter, cheers, nervous whispers, and last-minute rehearsals filled every corner.

This wasn’t just a fest.

This was the day everyone wanted to shine.

And somewhere amidst the chaos—

Kim Jeon kookie was participating in four competitions.

Backstage –

Kookie sat backstage, clutching her registration file, bouncing her leg nervously.

Singing,Dancing,Painting,Debate

Four competitions. One day.

IU knelt in front of her, fixing her dupatta. “ bunny, breathe.”

Lisa handed her a water bottle. “Tu topper hai, multi-talented hai, aur sabse important—”

She leaned closer and whispered, “—Professor Kim ki biwi hai.”

Kookie groaned. “Lisa!”

IU giggled. “Relax..... Your secret cheerleader is already ready.....”

As if summoned—

Tae appeared at the edge of the backstage area, clipboard in hand, official ID hanging around his neck, looking every bit the calm event in-charge professor.

But the moment his eyes met Kookie’s—

Softness replaced professionalism.

He stepped closer, lowering his voice.

“Darr lag raha hai?” he asked gently.

She nodded. “Thoda.”

He smiled, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear discreetly. “you're already a winner .”

She frowned. “Aise kaise?”

"because you're....." he said softly. “just relax and rock the stage...."
Her fingers trembled.

“I can’t do four competitions,” she whispered nervously. “What if I mess up?”

"You’re not only participating in four competitions,” he said quietly. “You’re owning them.”

She looked up at him. “Tete…”

He leaned slightly closer, careful of cameras.

“bunny.... Listen.... Just remember 1 thing.,” he whispered. ," stage is your best friend..... Audience is your family..... And I..."

He tapped his chest lightly.

“—I'm your lucky charm & biggest supporter and cheerleader....”

Her lips curved into a small smile.

Kookie took a deep breath.

“I can do this,” she whispered.

He nodded. “That’s my girl.”

Her eyes softened instantly.

IU whispered to Lisa, “Husband goals.”

Lisa smirked. “Secret husband goals.”

Tae straightened up as Bogam walked over.

“Professor Kim,” Bogam teased, “event chal raha hai ya private motivation session?”

Tae shot him a look. “Bogam..... Chup....”

Bogam chuckled. “Relax. She’ll kill it.”

A sudden murmur rippled through the crowd.

Security tightened.

Three familiar figures entered the campus arena.

Kim Namjoon.
Kim Seokjin.
Kim suga.

VIP chief guests. Judges.

Namjoon walked with calm authority, Jin beside him radiating warmth, while Suga followed with his usual uninterested expression.

Students whispered excitedly.

“Owners family hai.”
“Kitne classy lag rahe hain.”
“Woh kim yoongi hai na? Savage wala?”

Jimin joined them, greeting them professionally.

“Welcome, sir. Welcome, ma’am.”

Jin smiled proudly. “Meri beti organize kar rahi hai, toh acha hi hoga.”

Jimin laughed softly. “Pressure mat dijiye, Mom.”

Meanwhile some girls screamed with excitement after seeing him....," YOONGI MAAAARRRRRYYYY MMMMEEEE....."

Suga glanced around. “Kookie aur Hobi kidhar hain?”

"Backstage", jimin replied

Nam smirked. “Aaj unka din hai.”

Event Begin.....

The announcer’s voice echoed.

“Next participant—Jeon kookie.”

Cheers erupted.

Kookie stepped onto the stage, lights falling on her nervous face.
Spotlights illuminated her small figure.

Judges sat at the front table—

Nam, calm and proud.
Jin, eyes already shining.
Suga, arms crossed, pretending to be unimpressed.

Backstage, Tae clasped his hands together unconsciously.

Bogam noticed. “Agar itna tension hai toh confession kar de sabke saamne.”

Tae muttered, “Bogam, chup.”

Tae stood at the side of the stage with Bogam and Jimin, monitoring everything.

“She’s nervous,” Jimin murmured.

Tae shook his head. “She’ll fly.”

Music started.

The moment Kookie sang—

The campus fell silent.

Her voice flowed effortlessly, soft yet powerful, emotions wrapped around every note. Her voice flowed like silk, classical notes melting into modern melody, emotions raw and pure. Every note carried innocence, strength, and warmth.

Jin pressed a hand to her chest & eyes welled up.
Nam whispered, “ thats our daughter.”

Suga nodded. “Obviously she’s winning”

When the song ended, there was a second of stunned silence.Then—the applause was deafening.

Tae exhaled a breath he didn’t know he was holding.

“She did it,” he whispered proudly.
Tae exhaled shakily.
Bogam grinned. “Proud husband alert.”

“Shut up,” Tae muttered, eyes never leaving the stage.

The stage lit up again.

This time, Hobi stood confidently, stretching his shoulders.

“Ready?” Kookie whispered beside him.

Hobi grinned. “Born ready.”

Their performances were electric.

Hobi’s performance was electric — sharp moves, infectious energy, effortless charm. The crowd went wild. Hobi’s energy set the stage on fire.

Then came Kookie.

Her dance was graceful, expressive, blending classical storytelling with modern rhythm. Every move spoke. While Kookie’s grace and expressions left everyone mesmerized.
IU screamed from the volunteer section. “THAT’S MY GIRL!”

Lisa whistled loudly.

Tae clenched his fists, excitement bubbling.

Tae leaned toward Bogam. “I want to lift her.”

Bogam deadpanned. “Do you want to get suspended?”

Lisa jumped backstage. “Yeh dono paagal hain!”

IU fanned herself. “Stage sambhal nahi paa raha.”

Judges exchanged looks.

Suga smirked. “Competition khatam.”

1 hour later......

Under open tents, canvases waited.

Kookie dipped her brush calmly. sat cross-legged, completely focused, paint smudged on her fingers.
Tae stopped nearby, pretending to inspect arrangements.
He glanced at her canvas—

A family holding hands under a glowing sky.

His breath caught.

“You okay?” he asked softly.

She nodded. “Bas thoda sa finish.”

Bogam nudged him. “Ab kya?”

Tae smiled softly. “Bas dekh rha hoo.”

Kookie painted emotions—family, strength, love, dreams.

Jin covered her mouth.

“That painting… that’s us.”

Final round.

Kookie stood confidently at the podium.

The debate hall was intense.

Topic: “Youth and Responsibility in a Digital Era.”

Kookie stood at the podium, voice calm but powerful.
Her arguments were clear, mature, thoughtful — far beyond her age.
Jimin smiled proudly.
“That’s my little sister,” she whispered.

When Kookie dismantled the opposing argument respectfully but firmly, the judges exchanged looks
Her words were clear, logical, emotional.
Even professors nodded in approval.
Tae watched her like the world had paused.
“That’s my wife,” he whispered without realizing.

Bogam laughed. “Volume control, Mr. husband.”

Results –

The announcer returned.
And the winner of the Singing Competition is…”
“JEON JUNGKOOK!”

Cheers erupted.

Kookie’s eyes widened as Jin stood up clapping enthusiastically.

Tae bit his lip, holding back a smile.

When Jin handed her the trophy, she held Kookie’s hands warmly.

“Bahut acha gaaya babu,” Jin whispered. “Proud of you my baby.....”

Kookie bowed respectfully. “Thank you, ma’am.”

Winners of dance competition is.....

Nam laughed proudly. “Double win.”

Suga smirked. “Expected.”

The crowd went insane.

Lisa hugged Kookie tightly. “Queen behavior!”

"Yes my queen..."tae whispered proudly

On stage, NamJin handed the trophies to Kookie.

She whispered softly, “Mera baby.”

Nam patted her head. “Proud of you mera bchcha.....”

Suga leaned in. “Treat meri taraf se.....”

Tae watched — eyes moist, smile uncontainable.

Bogam nudged him. “World’s proudest secret husband.”

Tae stood below the stage, clapping the hardest.....

Their eyes met.

She smiled.

That silent moment—
Husband. Wife. Soulmates.

Hidden from the world.
A senior congratulated Kookie.

“Great performance,” he smiled.

Tae stiffened.

Lisa whispered, “Uh-oh.”

Bogam chuckled. “Jealousy mode activated.”

Tae walked over casually. “Thank you for appreciating my…  talented student.”

Kookie hid her smile.

Backstage, a student congratulated Kookie.

Tae’s jaw clenched.

IU whispered, “Jealous ho rahe ho jiju”

Lisa added, “Professor Kim ka BP high.”

Bogam smirked. “Shaadi shuda mard problems.”

Backstage, Tae pulled Kookie aside.

“You were amazing,” he whispered.

She smiled brightly. “All because of you.”

She reached for his hand instinctively—
And froze.
A student passed by......
Her wedding ring glinted for a second.
IU gasped quietly.....
Lisa stepped forward instantly, blocking the view....."Hey! Volunteers this side!”

Tae’s heart pounded.

Kookie slipped the ring back into her pocket, eyes wide.

Bogam smirked. “Dangerously close.”

Tae sighed. “Main heart attack se mar jaunga.”

The mansion was filled with laughter.

Hobi danced around with his trophy.....,"Party toh banti hai!”

Kookie placed hers carefully.
Suga handed her juice. “Good job.
Jin hugged them both. “my pride.... My babies.....”
Nam raised a toast. “To my stars.”

Suga smirked. “To the chaos.”

Tae wrapped an arm around Kookie discreetly.

“Queen of Space Academy,” he whispered.Tae stood beside Kookie, fingers brushing hers secretly.
She smiled softly. “Only yours.”

And that night—They celebrated. As a family. As love .As secrets safely kept.
