RUMOUR, RUMOUR
k. soonyoung

YOU HUMMED SOFTLY as the music blasted in your ears. to others, seeing you in the library was a common sight. if anybody would be searching for y/n, the first place to check is the school's library. you preferred studying outside of your room. it kept you more productive when you were in public or around other people. the library of hatsu academy itself was simply just mesmerising. the library dated back decades, ever since your grandparents went to school at this academy, making a name for your family.

the y/n l/n, you, who is currently doing your weekly revision recap by yourself in the library was a name many recognized. the prodigy. not only was it because your parents were running the biggest k-entertainment company in the industry, but because you were the one of few students who got accepted into all programs, music , vocal and dance at hatsu academy.

it is no easy feat to do so. many would be lucky to simply be accepted into a course but to be able to choose is a different type of privilege. of course, having two programs merged together is normal, but having three came extremely rarely. the only other person in your batch who got this offer was lee jihoon from the first vocal class. you knew jihoon, and he was amazing. but so were you.

with parents in the industry, people expected you to take up the idol program, which is under dance and vocal, but everyone was surprised when you entered the dance and music program as a ballerina.

to the teachers who taught your parents before, this was no surprise. after all, your grandmother was a ballerina.

"hey! hellooooo? dude-"

you jerked back as your headphones got forcefully taken out. you were ready to smack whoever it was but you calmed down once you saw the girl in front of you, who looked at you with one eyebrow raised.

"what was that for?" you frowned at the girl, who could only roll her eyes.

"you didn't answer, so.." jennie shrugged, putting her bag down to sit in front of you, the two of you earning looks from others due to your initial yelp and jennie's efforts to get you to listen to her.

"by the way, there's a rumour going around."

jennie mumbled cautiously, glancing up at you to gauge your reaction. you didn't really show a lot of interest whenever jennie would talk about social status or relationships or drama, but you liked listening to her talk.

"what about?" you probed, writing the last few sentences of your notes before giving jennie your full attention, but frowning when you noticed her hesitant eyes.

"you, y/n."

you didn't have much of a reaction, the frown only deepening on your face. you just had jennie, jihoon and wonwoo, who you aren't even close to since you met him purely through jihoon. you didn't really associate much with anyone else besides them. of course, you were nice and polite to others but that's all it usually was. a hi-and-bye type thing. you couldn't think of anything you've done to have such thing as a rumour of you emerge out of nowhere. not to mention things like this are usually a big deal in hatsu academy. when a rumour spreads, it spreads like wildfire.
