Today is a big day, for both me and Minji. Minji is making her debut, and I'm going to watch her success unfold before my eyes.

As soon as the music video was released, I ran to meet her, marker and notebook in hand. I found her in one of the practice rooms, tears streaming down her face as she watched herself in the video. She had made it.

Minji was still unaware of my presence, lost in the emotions of her achievement. I decided to lift up the atmosphere, stepping forward with a grin plastered on my face.

"Oh my! Isn't it Newjeans' Minji?" I exclaimed, trying to catch her attention.

Minji's head snapped up, surprise evident on her tear-streaked face. She blinked, trying to process my sudden appearance.

"YN?" she gasped, her voice shaky with disbelief.

I nodded eagerly, closing the distance between us in a few quick strides. "I'm a fan of yours! Congratulations, Minji! You were absolutely amazing in the video. I knew you'd shine!"

A small smile tugged at the corners of Minji's lips, her eyes still shimmering with unshed tears. "Thank you. I couldn't have done it without you."

We hugged tightly, the weight of our shared journey finally lifting off our shoulders. Despite being transferred to different labels, our bond remained unbreakable.

"Can I have your autograph?" I smiled, holding out the marker and notebook.

Minji chuckled softly, wiping away her tears with the back of her hand. "Of course," she replied, taking the marker from me.

With a flourish, Minji signed her name on the pristine white page of the notebook, her signature elegant and flowing. She handed it back to me with a smile, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at the thought of having her autograph.

"Thank you," I said, my voice filled with genuine gratitude.

Minji waved it off with a grin. "No problem. You're my friend, after all."

As I tucked the notebook safely away, I couldn't shake the feeling of pride and happiness that swelled within me.

"Am I the first to receive your autograph as Newjeans' Minji?" I asked, unable to hide my curiosity.

Minji chuckled, a hint of embarrassment coloring her cheeks. "Actually, yes," she admitted sheepishly. "You're the first one to ask for it."

A sense of pride swelled within me, knowing that I held a special place in Minji's journey as she embarked on her debut. "Wow, I feel honored," I grinned, feeling a surge of warmth at the thought.

Minji grinned back, her eyes sparkling with affection. "You should be," she teased, nudging me playfully.

"We're each other's first," I chuckled, the memory of Minji eagerly asking for my autograph as soon as I made my debut flooding back.

Minji's eyes widened in realization, a playful smirk tugging at her lips. "I guess we have a habit of making each other feel special," she remarked, a hint of mischief in her voice.

I nodded in agreement, feeling a swell of affection for my dear friend. "That's what friends are for, right?" I replied, a smile spreading across my face.

I had a mischievous grin on my face as Minji looked at me questioningly, clearly wondering what I was up to.

"What-" she started to say, but I interrupted her with a teasing sing-song tone, mimicking her part in her debut song. "Want attention, wanna want attention~"
