"Who is penguinwithguitar ?"

Haru's face almost turned pale. Have they already found out ?! No they can't, but what if- Haru's thoughts were disturbed by coworkers there. She can't help but overheard their conversation, it's not like she wants to hear them but they're talking too loud.

"Ah! Taeyeon mentioned someone that sing her song on her live yesterday. And some of the fans recognize that voice so they thought it was her. But we don't know if it's really true or not, so yeah" the coworker explained to their friends.

"But don't you think it's strange?" one of them interrupted. Other coworkers looked confused. "Look here, this convenience store is the closest one to our building. That's not really my point, but look at her" they took a closer look at the video.

"Don't you think she is somehow familiar ? Hm who is it ..?" .

No one but only Haru could hear her heart beating faster. Oh my god, please save me this time ..! This is all too soon ! Haru only could pray for herself to not be caught up with the rumors. But then, suddenly she heard a familiar voice.

"Good morning, everyone !" A guy that sounded energetic and happy greeted them. All the coworkers there were surprised and excited when they saw him. Haru somehow relieved and managed to calm herself down.

"Good morning , Haru-sshi !" That guy greeted her too. She turned around only to find out that it's Seungkwan. She greeted him back like usual. "Good morning too, Seungkwan-sshi" oh, it's Seungkwan. Thank god I run into him here of all the people. Well, other members are nice too but I felt closer to their maknaes more.

Finally the lift reached to my office's floor. I didn't have to meet the members now so .. annyeong Seungkwan-ah. Haru confidently leave the lift and walk into her office department. But she didn't realize that Seungkwan followed her from behind.

"So this is where Haru-sshi works" Seungkwan casually said that. "??!!! Yah ! Why are you here ?? Aren't you supposed to be with other members upstairs ??" Haru confused.

"Oh im just" and he looked around the office. "Just what ??? Wait Seungkwan-ah !! What is this guy doing here ???" Haru quickly catch up with Seungkwan who is already went ahead into the office.

Meanwhile...

Hoshi was the one who arrived at their practice room. While waiting for other members to arrive, he practiced his part a bit. But he somehow can't feel the energy. Is feels like he doesn't feeling to dance.

After that, he rested on the floor and play with his phone. His eyes eagerly searched for something on his phone. "Is there no update for today ? Hm..."

"It's okay, i will just listen to the old video post" he then tapped one video.

"Eonjebuteoinji geudaereul bomyeon

Hoshi feels at ease whenever he hear his favorite underrated singer singing. It feels like it purifies him. Hoshi then thought about an idea "I've been thinking if i could do a collaboration with this person on my next song.. I think Jihoon will be fine by that-" he thinks that was actually a good idea. He stood up excitedly and started writing some lyric that comes to his mind at the moment.

Then, one by one the members arrived there. Dokyeom and Mingyu went to Hoshi and asked "what are you doing, soonyoung hyung ?" . "Ah you guys already here ? I just got some inspiration for my next song while waiting for you" said Hoshi. "Woah, you really can get inspiration just like that ?" Minghao interrupted.

"Well, I can't let this lose its spark, so here i am." Hoshi explained to them. "What did you got this time ? Let me see" Woozi checked out Hoshi's lyric draft by the time he arrived. "What's your source of this kind inspiration ? It's kinda rare to see you like this" Wonwoo asked while look at the lyrics at Woozi.

"It was actually from this person. I don't know her personally or in real life, but somehow she gives off a positive vibes. She is underrated so it's fine if you guys don't know her" Hoshi showed his phone to the members. "penguinwithguitar ? What? Is it a penguin singing with a guitar ? Why is their username are so weird ?" Vernon confused . "It's just a username, Vernon. Plus it's their account so it's up to them to put whatever they want" Dino interrupted.

"penguinwithguitar ? I think I've heard this somewhere.. where is it ? I can't remember.." said Wonwoo.  All members looked at him when he said that, especially Hoshi. "ah... don't look at me like that. Im really don't know her" Wonwoo shrugged.  After that, Seungkwan arrived with Haru.

Haru's POV

"Seungkwan-ah, you should just go in there alone. Why bother you want me to go inside too ?" I asked. Seungkwan look at Haru with worry, "i mean.. i know the members want to apologize to you in person for what they've done.. can you give them a chance ?". I signed and explained to Seungkwan that the members already apologized to me through kakaotalk but Seungkwan still want me to meet them even its for a second. I couldn't say anything and Seungkwan and dragged me to the practice room.

All members looked at us and yes they're looking at me. Some want to say something but they cant. Joshua immediately approached me, "we're sorry.. Haru-shi.." and looked me in the eye. "Yeah.. I accept your guys apology.. but please dont pull such a prank again. If you did that, i will resign from working with you guys. Im serious !" that's just a joke but the members take it seriously and swear to not do that again. I just laughed and permitted myself to leave them practicing.

Seventeen's POV

(After practice)

"Ohh ?! I remember now !!" Wonwoo shouted and attracted others. "What now ?" Scoups feels curious with Wonwoo. "I think i know who is penguinwithguitar !" and that makes everyone listen to him especially Hoshi. "I think Haru-shi is penguinwithguitar" then Jeonghan cut off. "Eyyy no wayy~" . "There's no way Haru is her, because she always work with us and she even refused to sing when there was a team dinners last month" said Jun. " and the latest, i think i heard she sing a verse from our song and it's not as good as that person" Vernon added.

Wonwoo now feels more uncertain about it. Was it really not her ..? But their voice is kinda similar... "I think we shouldn't jump into conclusions. We should ask Haru if we really want to know.  Also, let's put it aside first and think about our next tour's concert." said the older, Scoups as he doesn't want the members to get distracted much. Hoshi still wondering if Haru was really penguinwithguitar or not.

—————————

Finally, my works is done. Thank god the rumors also slowly dies down on its own. I think I should be on break from singing like oppa said.. Im on my way back home but then i came across with someone i know.

" Ohh ! Haru-shi !"
