The clock had just struck 9 PM.

After spending the entire day at Kim Mansion, studying, revising, solving doubts, and getting grilled by Professor Kim suga himself, the Jeon siblings finally returned home.

The moment they entered the mansion, the difference between the two siblings was crystal clear.

Jungkook looked fresh, energetic, and satisfied.

Meanwhile...

Jimin looked like a soldier who had just returned from a war zone.... Her hair was messy.... Her shoulders were drooping....
Her eyes looked lifeless.... And she practically collapsed on the living room sofa.

Seeing her state, even the servants looked shocked.

One servant whispered,

Servant: Did young miss fight a battle today?

Another servant whispered back,

Servant 2: Worse.

Servant: What could be worse than a battle?

Servant 2: Studying.

Both immediately nodded in understanding.

Meanwhile, IU came out carrying fresh juice and snacks.

The moment she saw them, she smiled.

IU-: kaisa rha aaj ka din....?? Kitna preparation hua??

The moment she asked...

Jungkook's eyes literally sparkled. Like someone had asked him about his favorite hobby. He immediately sat beside her.

Jungkook-: bhut bdhiya.... Pta hai.... Aaj group study krke mzaa aagya.... Pehle mai akele pdhta tha toh doubts clear krne ka wait krna pdta tha.... Pr aaj toh mujhe jb bhi doubt hota tha.... Ussi vqt mai tae ya suga bhaiya se puchta tha aur dono jldi se mere sare doubts clear krdete the.... Jitna soch kr gya.... Usse zyada hi revision hogya mera....

IU smiled proudly.

IU-: yeh toh achi baat hai.... Vaise tae toh tumse bdi hai na...?? Toh tum usko tae kyu bolte ho.... Tae didi bola kro....

Jungkook-: pehle mai unko didi hi bolta tha... Fir vhi boli ki we are friends aur friendship mei bhaiya didi nhi bolte.... Aur vaise bhi Mai jimin ko didi nhi bolta toh tae ko kya hi didi bolunga.... Tae toh jimin se vaise bhi 2 mahina chhotti hai....

IU-: ohh.... Aur Suga... Toh tumlog ka prof hai na?? Toh usko sir kyu nhi bolte?? Usko kyu bhaiya bolte ho??

Jungkook-: unhone hi bhaiya bolne ko kaha hai.... Voh bolte hai.... Tum mere chhotte bhai ki tarah ho.... Jaise mere liye tae hai vaise hi tum ho.... Toh mujhe bhaiya hi bulao....

IU-: (smiled) ohh.... Tab theek hai....

Then IU's eyes moved toward the sofa. Where Jimin was lying completely flat.
Like a dead fish.

IU-: (giggled) yeh aise kyu soyi hai....??

Jungkook-: (giggled) zindagi mei pehli baar aaj yeh itna pdhi hai na.... Bechari thak gyi hai....

IU burst out laughing. Bogam, who had been reading a newspaper nearby, lowered it and looked at his daughter.
Then he laughed too.

Jungkook wasn't done exposing her....Not even close....

Jungkook-: isko lga.... Vha jaakr yeh enjoy kregi... Pr vha jaakr suga bhaiya iski halat dekhkr.... Unko bura lgne lga.... Ki koi pdhayi mei itna khraab ho kaise skta hai.... Pta hai... Bhaiya bole ,"open your notes.... " Jb yeh notes bhaiya ko di....iska pura copy khali.... Bhaiya got traumatized....he said...," copy khali kyu hai...?? Notes kaha hai....??" Tb tae btayi... Ki yeh notes nhi bnati....toh bhaiya shocked hogye.... "Ki yeh pura time class mei krti kya hai??" Tb tae boli ki bs baithi rhti hai... Toh Bhaiya bole," aise toh yeh fail hojayegi...." Fir bhaiya khud isko starting se pdhaye.... Yeh koshish toh bhut ki bahane maarne ki.... Ki break lelete hai.... Nap lelete hai.... Etc.... Pr iska koi bahana suga bhaiya pr kaam nhi kiya.... Aur aaj isko naa chahte hue bhi pura time pdhna pda....

By the end of the story...

Bogam and IU were laughing so hard that tears came into their eyes.

Jimin slowly sat up. She glared at Jungkook.....If looks could kill... Jungkook would've died three times.

Listening to everything... Bogam nodded in approval....

Bogam-: chalo acha hai.... Kisi ki toh baat maani.... Koi toh hai jo isko bhi pdha skta hai....

IU-: kl bhi jana hai na dono ko group study ke liye??

Jungkook-: haa...

Immediately...

Jimin spoke.

Jimin-: kl mai nhi jaungi...

IU raised an eyebrow.

IU-: kyu nhi jaogi??

Jungkook smirked.

Jungkook-: isko lga vha mze kregi.... Pr isko aaj pdhna pda issiliye isko ab nhi jana.... Vha iska koi bahana kaam nhi krta na... Issiliye...

IU-: bilkul jaayegi... Kl dono 1 ghnta pehle hi chli jana.... Aur suga ko bol dungi.... Iska pura preparations krade...exam keliye.... Aur 1-2 ghnta zyada hi pdha dega...

Jimin's eyes widened.

Jimin-: arey mummy.... Nhi...

IU-: kya mummy.... Chup kro.... Vha Suga aur tae pdha toh denge.... Yha toh din bhr time waste krti ho... Vha atleast pdhogi.... Toh tumhara hi bhala hoga...

Jungkook immediately joined the attack.

Jungkook-: don't worry mummy.... Yeh khud nhi jayegi toh suga Bhaiya ko boldunga.... Isko uthakr lechlenge....

IU-: (giggled) good idea...

Jimin-: (pouted) mujhe neend aarha hai.... Mai sone jaarhi hoo....

IU-: (dramatically) arey waah.... Meri beti.... Ek din mei hi sudhar gyi.... Aaj khud jldi sone chli gyi....

Jungkook-: pdhayi ka asar....

Jimin glared at everyone. Then stomped upstairs.....THUD!... Her room door closed dramatically....Like an angry bird.

Meanwhile...

IU, Bogam and Jungkook laughed uncontrollably.

Next Morning

Sunlight entered through the curtains. Birds were chirping. Jungkook was already ready....Bag packed....Notes packed....Water bottle packed....Everything ready.... Only one problem remained....Jimin....

IU entered her room.

IU: Jimin beta...

No response....She was "sleeping....." Or pretending to....

IU knew. But still failed. Then Jungkook entered. He sat beside her bed.... IU looked at kookie...

IU-: mai neeche jaarhi hoo breakfast bnane.... Tum isko utha do....

Jungkook-: ok...

Then IU went out from the room....

Jungkook-: jiminsche.... Utho... Subah hogyi.... Hmei kim mansion pdhne jana hai....

No response.....Still sleeping....Or acting....
Just then...

Jungkook's phone rang. The caller ID made him grin...."Jiju Calling...." He immediately picked up.

Jungkook-: haa jiju...

Suga-: kaha ho dono...?? Kbtk aaoge??

Jungkook-: mai toh kbse ready hoo... Pr aapki wife abtk so rhi hai....

Suga-: so rhi hai....?? Abtk??

Jungkook-: haa... Bol rhi hai kl bhut pdhli.... Ab usko nhi pdhna....

Suga facepalmed.....Hard....

Suga-: hey bhgwaan.... Kya kru mai iss ldki ka...

Without missing a beat...

Jungkook replied.

Jungkook-: breakup....

Suga-: what...??

Jungkook-: haa... Ab aap prof ho... Aur aapki gf ko pdhne mei hi mann nhi lgta.... Toh kya fayeda sath rhne ka.... Isse acha.... Tae jaise kisi topper ldki ko gf bna lo.... Vaise bhi..... Papa bole hai agr yeh fail kregi toh isko riksha khreed kr dedenge vhi chlayegi....

At this point...

Suga understood exactly what Jungkook was doing. He was baiting Jimin.

Suga-: sahi bole kookie..... Mai bhi soch rha hoo ki.....

And it worked..... Before he could complete his sentence.... The sleeping beauty suddenly rose from the dead.

She snatched the phone.

Jimin-:(warning) khbardaar.... Agr aapne mujhse breakup krne ke baare mei socha bhi toh.... Mooh tod dungi mai aapka....

Meanwhile Jungkook almost died laughing.

Suga tried very hard not to laugh.

Suga-: pr baby... Aapko toh pdhna hi nhi hai.... Fir kya fayeda.... Mujhe toh lga tha ki meri wife well educated hogi.... Jo meri tarah business sambhalegi... Pr aapko toh exam keliye bhi pdhna.... Maine socha tha aap agr iss baar ache marks se pass hojaoge... Fir hum dono exam ke baad kahi ghumne jaate.... Fir aap MBA krlete tb mai tumse shadi krta....Pr aapko toh BBA ka final exam keliye hi nhi pdhna.... Toh MBA kya hi kroge... Fir chhodo... Tb mai kisi aur se shadi krlunga....

Jimin instantly sat upright.

Jimin-: kisne kaha mujhe MBA nhi krna.... Bilkul krna hai.... Maine aur tae ne toh already decide kiya hai ki hum dono sath mei MBA kreinge....

Suga-: pkka na baby....

Jimin-: haa...

Suga-: tb theek hai.... Filhal ghr aao.... Pehle yeh wala exam dedo.... Fir exam ke baad dono ghumne jaayenge....

Immediately....
Jimin brightened..... Like a sunflower.

Jimin-: pkka na.... Pkka ghumne jaayenge na...?? Aap mujhe dhoka toh nhi doge na....??

Suga-: nhi bchcha.... You know na.... I'm man of my words.... Yeh exam ache se dedo fir pkka dono ghumne jaayenge.... Uske liye pdhna pdega... Toh ghr aao.... Mai pdhata hoo...

Jimin-: ok abhi aati hoo....

Call ended.

Just five minutes ago she refused to wake up. Now she was running toward the bathroom.

IU came and saw jimin ready.... For studying....

IU-: arey waah.... Yeh chamatkaar kaise??

Jungkook-: suga bhaiya ne kuch kaha.... Aur yeh turant ready hogyi....

IU-: (impressed) ek suga hi hai jo isko smbhal skta hai...

Days Passed...

Something unbelievable happened....
Jimin changed....Completely....The girl who hated books....Started waking up early....
The girl who never made notes....Started filling notebooks.... The girl who looked at books like enemies...Started solving PYQs.
Every morning she studied.... Every afternoon she revised.... Every evening she cleared doubts.....Every night she revised again....

At Kim Mansion...

Even Namjin were shocked.

Jin watched Jimin studying seriously.

Jin: Kya yeh wahi Jimin hai?

Nam: kahi yeh badla toh nhi gyi....??

Nearby, Jhope nodded seriously.

Jhope: Mujhe bhi shaq hai.

Everyone laughed.

Meanwhile...

Taekook were incredibly proud. Tae patiently explained concepts. Jungkook solved questions with her. And suga guided all three......Slowly...
Jimin's confidence started growing.

Night Before Exam

The atmosphere inside Kim Mansion was serious....Books....Notes....Highlighters....
Question papers....Everything was spread across the study room. Taekook were doing final revision.

Meanwhile suga decided to test them.

First came Jungkook....After checking the answers...
Suga smiled proudly....Perfect score.

Suga-: aise hi exam mei answer likhna....

Jungkook-: ji jiju....

Next came Tae and Jimin....Everyone waited.....Suga checked carefully....
One answer....Two answers....Three answers....Four answers.....Five answers....
Everything correct....He looked up....
Then smiled....Both had scored full marks...
Especially Jimin.....

Tae immediately jumped and hugged her.

Tae-: (hugging) arey waah.... I'm so happy.... Aise hi exam mei bhi score krna....

Jimin's eyes widened...... She couldn't believe it herself....

Then Jungkook dramatically held his chest.

Jungkook-: (dramatically) mai toh tumko bewakook smjhta tha.... Tu toh smjhdaar nikli re....

The room exploded with laughter.... Jimin threw a cushion at him....

Then suga gently held her hand. His eyes were filled with pride. He leaned closer.

Suga-: (kissed her lips gently) proud of mera bachcha.... Maine bola tha na.... I'll make sure that you'll score best in each and ever subject.... And now look at your scores.... Bs aise hi exam mei bhi marks lana.... Fir hum ghumne jayenge....

Jimin happily nodded....For a moment...
She wasn't happy because of the trip....
She wasn't happy because of the marks....
She wasn't even happy because she proved herself....She was happy because for the very first time...She could see genuine pride in everyone's eyes.....IU....Bogam....
Tae....kookie....And most importantly...
Suga....All of them believed in her. All of them were proud of her. And that feeling became her biggest motivation. Tomorrow was the exam. But tonight... For the first time...Jimin wasn't scared. She smiled confidently, looked at her books one last time, and thought-"I can do this."

And surrounded by her chaotic family, endless teasing, unconditional love, and unwavering support...

The girl who once ran away from studies was finally ready to face her exams. ❤️
