The sun is shining. The sky is clear. And the breeze is cold. It's early in the morning. I only had a 2 hour sleep. The sound of the my steps echoed to the dance room as well as in my ear. I looked myself in the mirror. I tried to recollect and reminisce all the happy moments and hard works and went through. It is all worth it. It is worth the wait. There is a new me. A new figure and a personality. I am not the past girl who was known by all. I know I will shine even more. Finally. The day that I was waiting for is coming rapidly.

"Hera, you got to prepare right now. We will have a practice this 4:30 am." Ms. Yoon said while stretching her arms. We practice all the time and a lot. And we already had the photo shoot for the teasers. And my identity has been released already. I am still holding my own real name. I'm still Hera. But, beware this Hera is different from the old Hera. 3 days from now is our debut day. And with that, we got to attend music shows and promotions.

Practice already started. We didn't stopped practicing until everything gets furnished and perfect. The company doesn't want any lapses with us. And I should make a better start as a credit for our really supportive entertainment. I trained for 3 years and I know how well the entertainment gave us attention and care. They trained us very well. Altough I only have a lesser time to train, they still managed to do their best to mold me to my very best. And I believe that that's the power of motivation. Everything went well for the past 3 years.

I can feel the sweat and the coldness of my hands, as well as the sweat on my forehead. I am so nervous and excited as well. My first performance. I used to watch idols on youtube performing in Mnet stage. And I can't imagine myself.

I already went to the stage. I was mesmerized by the number of crowds, bringing their banners and cheering for me. I didn't know that I already made a group of fans like this.

The music already played. And I really did gave my very best in performing. I was really surprised by the energy and the aura of the crowd. I showed the crowd the best vibes, in return. I haven't felt this feeling before and it feels great.

Yesterday, the music video was released. And surprsingly, it reached 10 million of views in just a day.  And I am so happy because the fans really looked up and waited for my debut. I am so thankful and grateful. I'm feeling mixed emotions right now. One day I just dreamt to be an idol, then now I am performing to the best I could. Time flies so fast. I mean it's just a matter of time, patience and hardwork. Then you'll achieve everthing you wish for.

I debuted as an solo artist. The pressure is on me, since I am the only one who made to debut with all the trainees. The entertainment is still preparing for the groups. And they'll debut soon. And I am excited for that. Tomorrow,  I'll have a guesting on a show and I am so excited. Like, have you imagined it? It's my first time and it is all new to me. I used to watch it and now I'll take part of it. Nothing can explain my gratefulness.

"Good job Hera. You did well." Ms. Yoon said then gave me a hug.

"Thank you Ms. Yoon! I was really nervous a while ago. But OMG i did it!" I was so happy. I feel like I am not acting like an idol anymore. But who cares. Everyone congratulated me for the success of my performance and my debut.

"By the way Hera, the entertainment prepared an after party for you. Your parents and coming." Ms. Yoon added while retouching my make up.

"I missed my parents. I haven't seen them for a year." Woah! Finally, I'm going to see my parents. This is all for them. And I hope I made them proud.

"Mom! Dad!" I screamed and ran towards them. I gave them my tightest hug.

"I missed you!" I said.

"We missed you too Hera. How have you been? We already saw the music video. It's great!" Dad said. OMG I feel a little bit awkward. You know, the music video itself. I haven't seen it yet and I don't know what I look. It feels so weird.

"Really? I haven't seen it yet. I got busy for the past days." I replied.

After a few conversations the party already started. We ate, we danced and I got to perform. And it was so tiring. I wanna get a rest. Because I got no sleep for already 18 hours and my body is so heavy. So I requested a rest and the party is over!
