The Kim mansion was never quiet.

Even on the calmest days, it breathed chaos—baby laughter echoing through halls,Jin’s dramatic cooking commentary,
Nam misplacing things, and somewhere in between—Hobi & lisa were hiding a four-year-old secret.

FLASHBACK START-:

Back in school days, when notebooks were decorated more than futures, there existed a small trio that was inseparable.
Kookie,IU,Lisa. They were loud, curious, and always laughing.

And two years ahead of them—

Hobi was the sunshine boy who laughed too loudly, danced during breaks, and carried hope in his eyes.The senior everyone liked.Good at studies.Great at dance.And always… warm.

Lisa was the quiet storm—sharp mind, quick wit, and that soft smile she reserved only for people she trusted.Lisa noticed him first.She didn’t tell anyone. Not even IU & kookie.But IU noticed anyway.

One afternoon, IU leaned over and whispered,“Lisa… tune kbhi notice kiya hai ? Tu roz assembly mein sirf ek hi direction mei dekhti hai.”

Lisa scoffed.
“Bakwas band kar.... Aisa kuch nhi hai”

Kookie confused but curious.,
"kya....?? Kidhar dekhti hai....??"
IU signaled where hobi was standing
Kookie saw and giggled," wait....what....?? Udhar toh bhaiya khade hote Hai..... Tu udhar kyu dekhti hai...."

Lisa snapped," kya tu bhi iske baato mei aagyi.... Mai kyu tere hobi Bhaiya ke taraf dekhungi.... Mai toh udhr voh painting dekh rhi thi...... Said while defending herself

IU giggled," haa bhai.... Voh udhar duty devotion discipline school moto thodi Hai.... Voh toh tere liye painting hai na...."

"Haa.... Theek hai na.... Mujhe vhi moto hi psnd hai.... Tu assembly mei dhyan de na...." Lisa snapped while getting irritated
This made kookie and IU laugh.... They exchanged looks but didn't said anything

Hobi, from his side, noticed Lisa too.
Her confidence.Her sharp replies.Her fearless laugh.

But nothing happened.Because school ended.And life moved on.Or so they thought.

2 Years later, fate played its favourite game again.

Lisa, IU, and Kookie walked into The Spaced Academy as BA Sociology students.

Excited. Nervous. Loud.
And during orientation— first they saw jimin and Tae standing as a professor..... This made them shocked..... Especially kookie when she got to know that her husband and her elder sister both are professors in the university.....  When their orientation program ended and she met both of them..... All 3 decided to explore the campus.... Their they saw Hobi.....
This time Lisa froze.
He was Standing near the medical block, wearing a white coat, hair slightly messy, smile unchanged—
Hobi as MBBS student.Two years senior.
Still that smile.

IU gasped dramatically.
“WAIT— IS THAT—”

Kookie blinked.
“HOBI BHAI?”

IU giggled and then whispered," kya baat hai kookie.... Tera pura khandan yhi pr hai.... Tae jiju and jimin Di professors, jin aunty owner aur hobi bhai hmare senior...."

Kookie giggled," chlo acha hai na.... Hmei kbhi bhi yha akela feel nhi hoga...."

IU giggled while agreeing," exactly.....Bilkul tujhe bilkul ghr jaisa feel hoga.... "

Kookie,"haa.... ohh no.... Yha pr tete, didi aur hobi bhai 3no hai..... 3no mujhpr nazar rkhe rhenge.... Fir kuch bhi hoga seedha mummy papa ko chugali kreinge.....arey... Yaar..... Kyu.....?? She said dramatically," school mei bs hobi bhai the toh voh pal pal ki khabar mummy papa ko mujhse related dete the.... Ab toh tete aur dii bhi hai.... Ab toh khali voh dono rok tok kreinge.... Especially tete.... "

"Arey haa.... Jiju toh hmare prof bhi hai...voh toh hmei roz class mei bhi pdhayenge....."

"Ohh... Shit.... Arey yaar.... Ghr pr toh rok tok krte hi hai.... Ab class mei bhi kreinge...." Said cutely with a pout

They both were whispering with each other while lisa stood like a statue....
Lisa swallowed hard.Hobi’s eyes met hers.
And recognition hit both of them at the same time.
They didn’t talk at first.Just awkward glances.Quick smiles.
Avoidance that failed miserably.

Until one evening—

Lisa was sitting near the old library stairs, frustrated, headphones on, notebook full of scratched lines.

A familiar voice spoke softly.
“Tum hamesha yahin baithti ho kya jab preshan hoti ho?”

Lisa looked up., “Hobi aap…?”

He smiled, hands in pockets., “Hi, Lisa.”

Her heart skipped. “Hi…”

Silence followed. Comfortable. Strange.

Then he said quietly,“School ke baad… mujhe lga tha hum kabhi milenge hi nahi.”

Lisa smiled sadly., “Mujhe bhi.”

That day became the first of many.

A few weeks later, Hobi asked Lisa to meet him behind the medical garden.
No crowd.No drama.Just honesty.

“Lisa… main straight baat karunga.”

She nodded.

“School mein jab tumhe dekhta tha… I liked you.”

Her eyes widened.

“University mein dobara dekha toh laga… agar ab bhi chup raha, toh zindagi bhar regret rahega..... Issiliye bhut himmt krke bolne aaya hoo.... So please pehle sunn lo.... Fir react krna.....”

She nodded

He took a breath.

“I like you.... Bohot zyada..... Infact I love you.... ” he said while sitting on his knees

Lisa laughed softly, eyes shining.
"Finally you said.... You know how much..... I waited  for you to say this.”

"Agr aaj aap nhi bolte na.... Toh mai aapko propose krne waali thi...."

He froze.,“Kya?”

She stepped closer.
“I love you too, stupid....”

Listening this.... Hobi pulled her into a long tight hug..... And from this moment Their Four years of secret love began that night.

They decided to keep it secret from everyone.... They told no one
Not IU, Not Kookie, Not Tae, Not family.

They met like thieves. Hiding from everyone like secret spies....
Medical block stairs.Rooftop sunsets.
Late-night coffee runs.

Lisa teasing him—
“Doctor saab, patient sambhalna aata hai ya sirf mujhe?”

Hobi grinning—
“Tumko sambhalna sbse mushkil hai.”

They fought quietly.Made up sweeter.
And hid everything perfectly.Or so they believed.

From day 1 Kookie and Tae were noticing them..... From little too closely..... They had doubt on them from beginning..... Since hobi proposed lisa and they came in relationship.... But they were waiting to get 1 solid proof to tell people that their doubts are actually correct.....

They observed that hobi  suddenly
Was acting way too happy..... So their doubts got deep

Kookie frowned one evening.
“Tete… Hobi bhai kuch zyada hi smile nahi kar rahe aajkal?”

Tae narrowed his eyes, “Haan. Aur phone dekh kr smile krta rhta hai......”

Suspicion unlocked.They started observing and stalking them....

Hobi leaving exactly when Lisa did.
Lisa returning exactly when Hobi did.

One day—

Kookie caught Lisa rushing out.
“Kaha ja rahi ho?”

Lisa panicked, “Uh— washroom.”

Kookie blinked,“Bag ke saath?”

Lisa nodded confidently.
“Emergency washroom.”

Meanwhile—

Tae stopped Hobi.
“Raat ko kaha ja raha hai?”

Hobi smiled nervously.
“Medical emergency.”

Tae squinted.
“Tu toh surgeon bhi nahi bana.”

Hobi laughed too loudly, “Practice.”

Doubt confirmed.

            FLASHBACK ENDED......

"baby.... Now we have to be more careful... "Hobi said in serious tone," mujhe lgta hai tae bhaiya aur kookie ko hmare baare mei shaq hogya hai...."

Lisa agreed,"haa..... Abhi jb mai aarhi thi toh kookie ne pkd liya... Aur puchne lgi.... Ki mai kaha jaarhi hoo.... Voh toh mai washroom ka bahana bnakr aagyi.... Nhi toh voh bhi aane wali thi mere sath...."

Then they did some chitchat and then hugged each other....

"Ok... Baby.... Mai chlta hoo.... Dad ne aaj sbko 7bje ghr mei rhne bola hai.... Shayd kuch family meeting hai..."

"Ok.... Jo hoga... Btana...."

"Sure...."

Then they went to their respective homes

Kim mansion....

Amid all this chaos, Namjin called a family meeting.

Nam spoke calmly.,“Ab sab stable hai.... Dono bchche thode bde horhe hai.... ”

Jin nodded.,“Yoonmin 1.5 saal ki ho gayi.”

Nam added,“Taekook bhi 1 saal ka ho gaya.”

Jimin smiled softly, “I think main university wapas join kar sakti hoon.”

Everyone looked at Kookie.

Tae squeezed her hand.
“ Be ready....PhD scholar banne ka time aa gaya hai, bunny.”

Kookie’s eyes sparkled.
“ finally.... I missed my academy.”

Jin smiled proudly.
“She completed Masters online without missing a year.”

"Not only finished her masters through online classes.... But also became university topper as usual....." Tae added proudly

Nam nodded.“Decision final.”

Spaced Academy buzzed again.
Prof   bogam & taehyung welcomed both moms  proudly with a smile.....
Professor Jimin returned.
Dr. Hobi officially became a doctor.
And—Kim Kookie
PhD Research Scholar.

Lisa watched her from afar, smiling proudly.," our family is back again and completed...." She murmured herself

IU squealed.
“Our trio is back!”

Hobi and Lisa exchanged a secret glance.
Four years.Still hidden.But not for long.
Because—
Tae and Kookie were watching.
And secrets?
They never survive in the Kim family.
