The crisp autumn breeze swept through the park as Ahyeon and Rora stood in a quiet corner, hidden from the main road. Ahyeon bounced on her feet, nervous energy and excitement radiating from her. Rora adjusted the strap of her guitar and gave Ahyeon a wide smile.

"You ready for this?" Rora asked, her fingers testing the strings.

"I'm ready! Let's see if people will recognize us!" Ahyeon grinned, adjusting her mic.

The two had been practicing for days, eager to do something spontaneous and fun before their next big schedule. Busking seemed like the perfect way to surprise their fans–and maybe, just maybe, they'd remain anonymous long enough to enjoy the moment.

Rora strummed the first chords of Die With a Smile, a song that had been dominating the charts ever since Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars collaborated. The soft melody filled the air, drawing the attention of a few passersby.

Ahyeon's voice joined in first, clear and smooth, her tone filled with emotion as she sang the first verse. Rora soon harmonized, her warm, rich voice complementing Ahyeon's perfectly. The synergy between the two was undeniable, and the hauntingly beautiful lyrics echoed through the park.

A small crowd started to gather, drawn in by the enchanting sound. People looked around, curious about who was singing. The voices were too good-too polished, too captivating-to be just anyone.

"Who are they?" someone whispered.

"I've heard these voices somewhere..." another added, brows furrowing in thought.

Rora took over for the second verse, her guitar playing steady as Ahyeon closed her eyes, swaying slightly with the rhythm. The chorus hit, and several people in the crowd gasped as they finally pieced it together.

"Wait... isn't that Ahyeon from Babymonster?" a teenage girl whispered to her friend, her eyes wide in shock.

"And Rora! Look, it's them! From YG Entertainment!"

As the realization spread, more people gathered, phones coming out to capture the unexpected performance. Despite the sudden recognition, Rora and Ahyeon didn't stop. They were completely lost in the music, their voices blending seamlessly as they reached the climax of the song.

By the time they reached the final chorus, a few in the crowd started singing along. The energy was infectious–people were clapping, cheering, and even joining in on the lyrics. It was a small but passionate crowd, and Ahyeon couldn't help but smile as she noticed the support around them.

As Rora strummed the final chord, the crowd erupted into applause, cheering loudly for the duo. Both Ahyeon and Rora exchanged glances, laughing at how quickly their impromptu busking had turned into an unofficial fan meeting.

"You two are amazing!" someone shouted from the front.

"I can't believe I saw Babymonster busking! Best day ever!" another person added.

Ahyeon blushed slightly, looking down at her guitar. "Thank you," she murmured shyly, her voice barely audible over the crowd.

Rora, always the more outgoing of the two, gave a wave. "We're just happy you all enjoyed it! Thanks for singing along!"

After five songs, including a few other hits from their repertoire, the atmosphere was electric. The crowd, still buzzing from the surprise performance, began to disperse slightly, but before they left, some fans hesitantly stepped forward.

"Can we get your autographs?" a brave girl asked, her voice quivering with excitement.

Ahyeon and Rora exchanged glances, surprised but pleased. "Of course!" Rora replied, smiling warmly. They had expected some excitement but never imagined they'd be asked for autographs right after their busking session.
