The first light of dawn spilled over the tall glass domes of Space Academy like liquid gold.

It was supposed to be a normal Tuesday. Classes, notes, cafeteria coffee. But today the entire campus had a different kind of buzz in the air.

Because in exactly 14 days, the biggest event of the year was going to hit - University Youth Fest.

And with semester exams right after it, the organizing committee was drowning.

7:00 AM | Space Academy Main Gate

The organizing committee had come early. Too early.

Jungkook was already at the gate with a clipboard in one hand and three folders tucked under his arm. His hair was in a messy bun and he had that sleepy-but-excited bunny smile on.

Jimin came running in behind him, hair half-tied, with Eunwo and Lisa struggling to keep up with her.

Jimin-: Kookie! Slow down! We are not running a marathon!"l

Jungkook-: arey, time nahi hai. 14 din. 4 days fest. Aur humare paas abhi tak stage list bhi final nahi hai.

Eunwo-: "And we still have 9 classes to attend today.

Lisa-: The universe hates us.

Tae was already inside the auditorium, checking lights with two other volunteers. When she saw them, she straightened up instantly. Her presidential badge glinted on her blazer.

Tae-: Morning, team. Plan is simple. We work whenever we're free. Early morning, late evening, breaks, free periods. No missed classes. Exams are after fest. We cannot afford it.

Everyone nodded. Serious. Focused.

But under all that stress, there was excitement too. Because Youth Fest at Space Academy was the thing.

12:00 Noon | Room 204, MBA Department | Taemin's Class

The class was silent.

Sunlight fell in soft squares across the wooden desks. The AC hummed quietly.

Professor Kim Suga stood at the board, writing formulas in sharp, clean handwriting. His sleeves were rolled up, his glasses sitting low on his nose. Savage. Disciplined. The kind of professor students both feared and adored.

And in the third row, Tae sat straight, pen flying across her notebook. She was taking notes sincerely, but her eyes kept flicking to the door every few seconds. Because today was Youth Fest announcement day.
And she knew who was coming. A soft knock echoed.

The entire class looked up.

Suga didn't turn around. He was still writing.

Suga-: (while writing on the board) come in....

The door opened with a quiet creak. And there he was. Jeon Jungkook.

White shirt, sleeves folded, black pants, and that clipboard. But none of that mattered. Because he had a cute bunny smile on his face that could melt steel.

Jungkook-: good afternoon sir....

Suga turned, one eyebrow raised. He walked to his chair and sat down, crossing his arms.

Suga-: good afternoon....

Jungkook stepped in fully, closing the door behind him. His eyes scanned the room for half a second before they landed on her.
Tae..... Time stopped. The world narrowed to just that one look. His breath caught. Her pen paused mid-sentence. For three whole seconds, they were in their own universe. No class. No professor. No Youth Fest. Just them. And then they smiled. Small. Secret. The kind of smile that said I missed you and I see you at the same time.

Jungkook blinked hard and came back to reality. He cleared his throat and walked to the podium.

Jungkook-: hello didis and bhaiyas.... I'm jeon jungkook.... I hope aap sb mujhe jaante hoge.... Agr nhi jaante ho toh ab jaan lo.... I'm your junior.... BBA 2nd year student....

A ripple of giggles went through the class. Because the way he said it - so earnest, so cute - it was impossible not to smile.

From the front, Suga watched him with a faint smirk. Next to him, Jimin's eyes went wide.

Jungkook continued, voice getting more confident now.

Jungkook-: as you all know that every year university organizes 4 days youth fest in which each and every students has chance to show their hidden or unhidden talent and get recognition in entire university....and to win prizes based on your talent....

The class straightened. People started whispering excitedly. Dance. Singing. Drama. Fashion. Tech.

Jungkook-: we have very less time.... So I would like to request you all that if anyone wants or wish to participate in any competition or events... Can please give their names either to me or tae or jimin di, or eunwo or lisa.....

He said it so casually..... "Jimin di."

The they 3 froze for a second.
Suga's pen stopped mid-air.
Jimin's jaw dropped.
Tae choked on air.

Suga-: (murmured) itni izzt.... Kya baat hai...

Jimin turned to Tae slowly, eyes huge.

Jimin-: kahi mere kaan dhokha toh nhi khaa rhe hai.... Kya issne mujhe sbke samne jimin di bola...

Tae leaned over, trying not to laugh.

Tae-: ab tum uski bdi behan ho toh voh tumko didi hi bolega na.... Mai bhi toh Suga bhai ko bhaiya bolti ho...

Jimin clutched her chest dramatically.

Jimin-: (singing) aisa pehli baar hua hai 17-18 saalon mei....

Tae giggled listening her dramatic singing, covering her mouth with her hand.

And Jungkook? Jungkook was dying inside. He was trying so hard to control his laugh while watching yoonmin's dramatic reactions. His shoulders shook slightly. He turned back to the class quickly before anyone noticed.

Jungkook-: we'll be their at library or at auditorium....

Students nodded, already making mental notes.

Jungkook-: if you have any doubts or questions you can come to me or ask tae or jimin di....

Everyone smiled then nodded their heads. A few girls raised their hands already.

Announcement done.

Jungkook let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. He stepped down from the podium and walked straight to Taemin's desk.

The class was still buzzing.

Jungkook-: maine almost saare classes mei announcement krdiya hai.... 2-4 classes baki hai unme tum dono please announcement krdena.... Ab mai class krne jaarha ho...

Tae looked up at him. Her eyes were soft. Proud.

Taemin-: (nodded) ok....

He smiled at her one last time, then turned toward the professor.

Jungkook-: thank you sir...please continue

He bowed his head slightly, then turned and walked out, closing the class door gently behind him.

The moment the door shut, the class exploded into whispers.

Suga sat back in his chair and sighed, picking up the chalk again.

Suga-: Alright. Back to work. As if we don't have enough chaos already.

But even he was smiling.

12:15 PM | Hallway Outside Room 204

Jungkook was leaning against the wall, trying to calm his racing heart.

"Jimin di." He whispered to himself and burst into quiet laughter.

Later after their classes were over.... Jimin went out with suga for some work in his cabin while tae stepped out, closing the door softly.

For a moment they just looked at each other.

Tae-: you're amazing speaker bunny...

Jungkook-: You think? Jiminaah ko shock lag gaya.

Tae-: She deserves it. Teases you 24/7.

They both laughed quietly.

Jungkook-: 2-4 classes baki hai. Chalein?

Taekook linked her arm with his, just for a second, before letting go.

Tae-: Chalo. Let's finish this.

1:30 PM | Room 108, 109, 110, 111

Taekook split up to cover the last 4 classes.

In every class, the same scene repeated. The knock. The "good afternoon sir." The cute bunny smile. The announcement. The giggles.

And in every class, Tae watched him from the corner of her eye and felt her heart do stupid things. He was hers. And she was his.

4:00 PM | Auditorium

By evening, the committee was back. Tired, but buzzing.

Charts on the wall. Task lists. Event names. Budget sheets.

Jimin was arguing with Eunwo about the dance competition rules.
Lisa was on a call with the sound team.
Suga had come to check the arrangements and was roasting everyone equally.

Suga-: "If this stage collapses during fest, I'm blaming all of you."

Jimin-: billu ji! Don't jinx it!

Suga-: I'm not jinxing. I'm predicting. There's a difference.

Tae walked in with Jungkook, both carrying coffee.

Tae-: bhai have coffee. Drink before you all kill each other.

Jungkook handed one to Jimin first.

Jungkook-: Jimin di, coffee.

Jimin took it, stunned again.

Jimin-: Yeh ladka... aaj kya khaake aaya hai?

Everyone laughed.

Even Suga cracked a small smile.

The room was chaotic. Papers flying. People shouting. Music testing from the stage.

But in the middle of it, there was warmth.

Because this was family. Right now they were just siblings fighting over coffee, professors teasing students, best friends planning a fest, and two couples trying very hard not to stare at each other too long.

8:00 PM | Library

Most students had left. But the organizing committee was still there.

Tae and Jungkook were at one table, finalizing participant lists.
Jimin was asleep with her head on Suga's shoulder on the couch in the corner.

Suga was pretending to read a file, but his hand was resting protectively on Jimin's back.

Jungkook looked up from his laptop and met Tae's eyes across the table.

No words.

Just that same smile from the morning.
The one that said we've got this. The one that said I love you.

Outside, the Space Academy domes glowed under the night sky.

Inside, the chaos continued.

Because Youth Fest was coming.
And so were the exams.
And so was everything else.

But for now, in this moment, everything felt perfect.

Chaotic.
Funny.
Cute.
& full of love.

And like this 14 days passed....
