"can you believe it?? i honestly didn't think it would be us, i'm so proud of us" aeri exclaimed

"your dream is coming true, min, it's happening" jimin said to minjeong, full faith, full love, just pure happiness.

she couldn't believe it, they had done it. minjeong's lifelong dream was going to be accomplished. she was filled with so many emotions. happiness, disbelief, anxiety, and more. a bunch of what if's filled her mind, but would slowly be taken over the fact that they did it. it was amazing, an adrenaline rush to have heard their names be called. snapped out of her thoughts, the girls made their way to meet with the scouts.

"hello girls, and congratulations. you four will be our next group. not just because of your talents, but after further discussion, we found that you four would fit the concept best. this group that we are introducing is called 'aespa' it dives into the metaverse. connecting avatars and experience. we found that you four suited the concept best. you will all be moving into dorms and living together, you will have dance practices as well as recording sessions all throughout the week. your lives will get busy and a little hectic, so please be aware of that. we want to sign you guys to a 7 year contract, but please read through it carefully. we're excited to be giving you this opportunity and to hopefully be working with you girls. here's our numbers, we'll be in touch. if you agree and sign, we recommend you get to packing." they said to the girls. 

"you guys.. this is so exciting!" ning said, as they all started reading over the packet they were handed. they decided to sit and read it now instead of making their way back to the apartments. they all had an unspoken thought that they would sign. which, they did. they handed their contracts over to the scouts they just spoke with, and were then introduced to their new manager. they were all crazily excited for their next adventure. after hearing more details that they needed to hear, they decided to go out to celebratory lunch.. or dinner, it was still kind of early in the day, but given they were tired, they'd consider it their dinner. 

"here's to us, we took a chance on something we didn't know would happen, we stepped out of all of our comfort zones and performed in front of other people, even if it was only a few, it's still a step towards bettering us in some way. i have full faith that this will be something that will be good for us. no matter what happens, we all have each other, and that's for sure. so again, here's to us" jimin said, raising her glass of water, along with everyone else. they all cheers to their newest accomplishment. 

"i'm glad it's you guys that i get to do this with" ning said

"me too, i never would've expected myself to be at this point. thank you, all three of you, for breaking my out of my shell more, even if it hasn't been by a lot. i'm not, you know, fully there, but i know as long as i have you guys with me i can do anything. so, here's to a new us, i love you all so much" minjeong said, platonically of course towards jimin. they hadn't had reached the i love you stage of their relationship yet, but minjeong knew deep in her heart that she did love jimin, she knew that she was the one. everything came easy when it was with jimin. the four continued with their meal, enjoying and sharing laughs, talking about their worries, but their excitement as well.

once they finished their meals, they four paid and headed home. this time all of them back to their own places. as much as they all wanted to be together, they knew that they had to start getting some of their things packed up. they all bid their goodbyes, and got to packing. luckily, they didn't need to pack everything. though yes they were moving into a dorm, they still wanted to keep their apartments in case they ever needed their own time away. even though the four of them are close, they knew personal space is important to recharge. especially for minjeong.

once she arrived back to her place, she sat down to take a quick breather, to fully process what happened, to fully process that she was going to achieve her dreams. it'd be a lot of work before they debuted, and it'd be some time, but she was.. almost.. ready to do it. why almost? because her head was being filled with a bunch of 'what if's?' 

"what if i'm not a good enough dancer? what if i'm not a good enough singer? what if we don't make it? what if i don't fit in with the concept? what if i mess up too much? what if i can't get over my anxiety? what if i'm not good enough to do this?" minjeong thought to herself, she wanted to shake the thoughts away, but she couldn't. it was too overwhelming. 

"breathe. minjeong. breathe." minjeong said out loud to herself. sometimes she needed to hear her voice in order to calm down. she felt her hands shaking and her breath becoming shorter.

"it's just in your head minjeong, it's just your anxiety talking." she said aloud.

"but what if it's not? what if this is your true intuition?"

"but it's not. everything is unpredictable. i'm right where i need to be, this is what is meant for me."

"is it? is this what's meant for you? you were too scared to do it. what makes you think you still can?"

"minjeong? are you okay? i heard your breathing getting faster and you weren't responding when i called your name" jimin said. she allowed herself into minjeong's apartment since she had gotten most of her packing done. they didn't need to move into the dorm for another few  days, so she figured she'd finish the rest another day.

"w-what?" minjeong replied. lost in thought, finally pulling herself together.

"i asked if you were okay. you didn't even notice me come in, and that's usually the first thing you notice even when you're doing something"

"oh. yeah, i'm okay." minjeong said

"come here, what's wrong?" jimin said as she pulled her in.

"i-i don't know. i guess i just got anxious about it all. the what if's started piling in and i was just.. arguing in my head. i'm scared, jimin." she let out a light sigh.

"i know, it's a scary thing, but you know you'll always have me, aeri, and ning right by your side. you're going to do wonderful, this is what was meant for you, and this is where you're supposed to be right now. i'm so unbelievably proud of you, and i just know you're going to do amazing. you're insanely talented, you pick things up super quickly, you have an amazing voice, your dancing is amazing, everything about you is perfect, you can do this." jimin said, it was as if she read minjeong's mind. suddenly, all of her worries disappeared.

"thank you, jimin." she said, squeezing jimin tighter as if all she needed in that moment, was her. she felt water coming out of her eyes, and light sniffles could be heard. instead of saying anything, jimin just hugged her tighter, and comforted her. she didn't care if her tears soaked her clothes, she only cared to make minjeong feel better in that moment. soon she stopped hearing her sniffles, and soon found a sleeping minjeong on her chest. she soothed her more, even though she was already asleep.

jimin picked her up and carried her to bed. she laid her peacefully, as she tidied up minjeong's apartment. when she finished, she came right back to bed, and pulled minjeong close to her, and let her eyes drift off to sleep.
