Brief Answer:
As discussed in details below.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
This is called breast discharge.
At your age of 24, with the history that you have given, the watery white discharge can be normal.
Cancer of the breast is not common at your age hence no worry about it.
The physiological changes in the breast can allow the secretion and expulsion of few drops of discharge from nipples on pressure.

Yet to be sure, that nothing is serious I would advise you the following:
Consult a General Surgeon for clinical evaluation, examination and ask for investigations if he/she feels so. These will be:
Ultrasonography and mammography.
If all these things are normal, there is nothing to worry about.
If some positive findings are found, you will need further evaluation and management.
So stop worrying at the moment till something serious is found.
I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
