Minji sat down at her desk, staring at the camcorder for a few moments before actually grabbing it.

She flipped the screen open, surprised that it actually turned on.

"Huh..."

It was as if the camcorder was new from how clean it was, and after a bit of time trying to figure out what button to press, Minji found the gallery.

The videos and pictures were still intact after ten plus years...

The bear chuckled as the first video began to play automatically.

"Is the first video really of Hanni slipping in the hallway?"

But as soon as a familiar name slipped out of her mouth, her eyes widened and she clamped her mouth shut with her free hand.

She hasn't said any of her friends' names in a while.

...

...

...

Minji slowly dropped her hand from her mouth, rolling the video back to see a close up of a dark-haired girl's face.

"God, we were so young back then.. Ninth grade huh..."

The bear gently felt the screen, tracing the dark-haired girl's gummy smile seconds before disaster hit her (falling at school).

Minji couldn't help the sad frown that formed as she kept tracing the smile.

"Hanni-yah..."

'I miss you...'

[Video. . . Start. . .]

"What are you doing?"

"Hanni's coming this way."

A bear-looking girl in a school uniform showed on the screen as the camera-person moved, the taller girl staring at the camera weirdly.

"Now what are you doing?"

"Say hi, Minji."

"Uh... hi?"

An arm showed as the camera-person pointed at Minji before zooming into her face.

"That's Kim Minji, the oldest, but most awkwardest of the group... Minus Haerin she's kinda awkward in social settings too."

"Wh-"

The camera panned again to a dark-haired girl walking down the hall, zooming in to see a heavily pixelated face.

"And that's Pham Hanni, she's the stupid one... Alongside Haerin as well. She's the second oldest."

"You're stupid too sometimes."

"I'm telling Dani you said that."

"I'm telling Dani that you called Haerin stupid."

"Lame."

"Literally, what are you doing?"

"I'm recording our moments! And what better day to start than the first day of high school. We'll be teenagers that will one day rule the world."

Before Minji could speak, the camera-person spoke again.

"Hanni!"

The girl startled, waving as she began to walk faster.

The camera-person flawlessly captured the girl's bright smile in video.

Minji chuckled, "rule the world?"

"Yeah Min, we're gonna all make it big one day, make lotsa money, be happy, never have to study again."

The bear let out a content sigh, still off-camera, "yeah... That sounds nice."
