Debut Time

"YES!! WOOO!" Ayaka screeched as we saw the music video uploaded on youtube.

"We did it!" Nina cheered and my group all clapped and cheered together.

I was happy.

We finally debuted.

But now was the debut stages we had to do, we had to go to America for that.

That's why we pre-filmed the dance practices before we left for America!

We'll promote for 3 weeks so hopefully it all goes well, I'm excited to go on the talk shows I've watched since I was a kid.

"Oh my god, we have over 500K views!" Yeimy squealed.

"I just refreshed it, we're at a million!" Yuna yelled which made my eyes widened.

A million? What the hell! Why did it get a million I wasn't expecting a million!

"You're kidding!" I gasped as I took out my phone and clicked on the music video.

"You girls are doing great right now, everyone is loving the debut." Psy chuckled.

"Our flight is tonight right?" Yuna asked.

"Yes, you'll leave to get to James Corden's show on time." Psy said as he took our his iPad and tapped on the screen. "Behave, make sure to keep it professional but also be yourselves."

"Let's go to your dorms to pack." Sua spoke up as she brought us out the room to leave the company building.

Wow, I finally going back to America! Hopefully it'll go well.

"Hello, we are the Dare Devils!" My group greets as the audience roared.

Our fans were jumping up and down, filling the hundreds of seats in the venue. It was such a beautiful view, their light sticks clung to their hands while they shook it forward towards us.

We were a 5 year old group now, wow. How the times have changed and as you can imagine we have more freedom now. We're allowed to date and be seen with other idols as Psy says it.

And I don't meant to flex or anything but I think my group has accomplished so much in the last years. We had over 1 million preorders on our last comeback and we have over 10 million followers on instagram.

I can't believe it.

I also can't believe I'm standing here right now in front of fans who not just support me, but my group who is filled with talented and wonderful members.

And I took about a minute to soak it all up, I looked around seeing the fans cheer my name. It was beautiful.

I feel so happy.

"Alaska— Ya! Guys, you're making our leader cry." Nina whined at our fans as she hugged me knowing I was bound to cry any moment now.

Nina wasn't lying when she said Ii was an emotional leader.

Sometimes I thought that I was a burden because of it but our fans let me know that they adore me because of it, it shows how genuine I was.

"I'm sorry." I shook my head as I dug my face into Nina's neck and the members came to my side and rubbed my back.

"Come on! Do not cry! Do not cry! Do not cry!" Aaliyah chanted which made our fans follow her chant and made my feelings grow more overwhelmed.

I finally gained my composure as I took a step back and brought the microphone to my mouth.

"As most of you know, I spent months training and it could never compare to how hard other idols trained but I feel like the training process changes you." I said as I looked around the room. "I've waited for so long to finally debut and find the girls that felt like family to me. And sometimes I wonder, when am I going to feel or experience this again?"

Our fans awed at my last comment because it was true, when I get older I won't be able to experience such a full room full of people.

"Let's try to make the most of out the concert, shall we?" Yuna announced and our fans roared in response.

We finally started in our next song which thankfully didn't have me start it off, my vocals turn into a mess after I cry so I need to find the stability somehow.

Wow. I really did this, I achieved my dream and these girls saved me. How could I ever repay them for such beautiful moments like this? I feel so happy and i don't feel worried.

What felt like a few minutes turned into hours and hours of the concert going on, and now we were on our way back to south korea!

We're to have a break but I will become an MC with another idol very soon when we land. Psy hasn't told me who it is yet but I hope its someone from Itzy or Twice!

It's sad to think about how Twice left JYPE sometimes but I'm glad they didn't totally disband, Nayeon and Momo are huge models now and Dahyun is involved in a huge K-Drama.

Once we finally reached our dorm after the long flight I got a call from Chan, ah that boy never fails to call me right when I plan to lay down.

"Hello?" I answered the call.

"Hellooo! I heard you finally came back to South Korea." Chan giggled.

"Mhm." I replied while I walk into my room with Nina and Yuna trailing behind me. "Is there anything you need?"

"Come visit me? What else?" Chan deadpanned.

"Yo, I'm literally jet lagged can you please calm down." I groaned as I dove onto my bed.

"Yeah, Chris we're so tired and it's only 9PM." Nina took my phone to let me unpack. "You know for a friend you don't seem so nice about letting OUR LEADER get some sleep. You know she has trouble!"

"I'm sorry!" Chan screamed, I could hear him getting scolded by Nina which made me chuckle.

It was funny how Nina was younger than both of us yet she had the power to scold Chan like that and show sass. She reminded me of Jeongin.

Ah the kids. You know, some people truly can believe they'll be fans of the same group for YEARS and YEARS!

In reality when you get a profession or an important job, you don't have time for it anymore.

I do keep up with Stray Kids's title tracks but I don't listen to their full album as much anymore. I almost forgot how beautiful their personalities were.

But I'm not going to lie.. I've been getting some feelings towards Chan.

Now I know it's crazy! He was my mentor and back then I saw him as a true older brother but he's been by my side through it all. Since we debuted, throughout our comebacks and when we had tours.

He's perfect.

I think I've finally moved on from those who have hurt my feelings, and its all because of Chris.

I was lucky to have his as a friend.
