(You can imagine the rest of the plot by yourself cauze Im stuck, sorry)
....
"Rafayel! I told you to resist consuming alcohol for the next few days! Your voice will be affected, you know it's susceptible."
"Caleb! You need to be more on time with your vitamin supplements!"
"Xavier! Your gym schedule is already in place, let's get up and not just sleep!"
"Zayne, the song producer called you to the main studio, why don't you come over to meet him?"
This is how it is, the routine in the dorm Linkon Park that doesn't stop with the voice of you as their manager who keeps giving them their routine schedule so that they won't forget. Zayne leads the band as the leader and keyboardist, then there is Xavier with his sleepy face as the bassist or sometimes holds the electric guitarist position. Caleb as the drummer and not forgetting our Mr. Casanova aka Rafayel as the main vocalist in Linkon Park band.
"Huh... I'm going to lose my voice if I keep this up...", you sat back on the large white sofa.
"Here, have a drink."
"Oh? Zayne? Thank you!"
Zayne hands you a bottle of mineral water to fill your thirst. You look at Rafayel who didn't listen to your warning regarding the alcohol issue. Actually, you don't forbid Rafayel to drink alcohol, but Rafayel needs a more serious vocal training since he's very sensitive about his throat, so as a manager who cares about the health of the band members, you have to monitor all the food and drinks they consume.
"I'm in the mood to try this new drink! Miss manager, Xavier brought this drink from his hometown and I'm going to try it!"
You sigh in exhaustion at Rafayel's behavior. It wasn't long before Caleb entered the living room and sat right next to you. "Hey, this vitamin supplement has expired. I guess you forgot to check the date?"
You were surprised, "What? Let me see. Ah- right... I'm sorry Caleb, have you taken it?"
"No, it's lucky that I saw the expiration date of this vitamin, take it easy, you don't have to think about it. I've already ordered the same vitamins online from our mainstay hospital."
Caleb gives you a sweet smile in hopes that you don't have to feel guilty about your lack of caution on such a sensitive matter.
"Hey Caleb! You're making her sad. Look at her guilty face, if I were you, I wouldn't have to tell her the vitamins are expired. I'd just replace them with new ones. Don't you feel sorry for the manager who looks so sick and tired?"
Rafayel spoke back and Caleb sarcastically replied, "Who's acting like a child here? Who makes the manager more dizzy to take care of this band? Tch, please get a mirror."
"Fucker, be grateful that my voice can save this band."
"Damn it. You spoiled brat."
"What the fuck?"
The migraine inside your head is getting worse as you see Rafayel and Caleb arguing. This wasn't the first time the two of them had fought like this, after all, there was always something between them that made them have to fight. Xavier who was asleep across the small sofa rubbed his eyes and stretched his body for a while. Then he approached you casually.
"Miss manager... I would like your company at the gym..." Xavier tugged on one of your hands. You nodded in agreement because it was better to leave the noisy dorm filled with Rafayel and Caleb's voices.
"I'm going to the studio too." Said Zayne.
You, Xavier as well as Zayne walked out of the dorm together. Heading towards the agency's private gym room, Xavier walked with his pillow face.
"Maybe I should reduce your live stream game schedule at night for now."
Xavier, who heard that, immediately gave you a pleading look. Gosh, he's like a puppy who wants to beg for something. So cute.
"Uhhh... Please don't..."
"But your sleep schedule is less than the others, Xavier. I'm worried that you'll catch a serious illness if you continue like this. How about it, hm?"
"Alright..."
"Don't worry, your live stream schedule will be changed. I'm not that bad at prohibiting your hobby."
You rubbed the top of Xavier's head on tiptoe as Xavier was taller than you.
....
....
Two days later, the comeback for the new album promotion went according to plan. Well, not exactly according to plan but at least you as their manager don't have to worry about the public response lately. Currently, you and the Linkon Park band are at the LINKON FM building to attend an invitation and do an interview with one of the hosts there. Actually, these past two days you need to work harder to make Rafayel and Caleb not fight again just because of minor problems. Fortunately, there was Zayne as the leader of this band so the situation was under control.
"Manager, if you're not feeling okay you can go home first. For them, let me take over." Thomas whispers into your ear, you and Thomas are sitting behind the camera.
Thomas is your assistant manager and knows you have a sudden fever today. Ah damn, what a bad timing.
"Hmm. Good idea, I can't force myself, my head feels like it wants to pop out."
"Yeah, I'll let you know when it's done."
Without lingering you leave the studio sluggishly, the migraine that has been hitting you for a while has not subsided and you imagine the soft bed that awaits you.
You arrive at the apartment without further ado and lay yourself down on this soft and comfortable bed. Your body is too weak to take medicine, maybe a little sleep will ease the pain in your head and body.
Several hours have passed, the apartment bell wakes you up involuntarily. With a frown on your face and a stumbling body, you walk over to see who has disturbed your rest.
"It's me."
Zayne's heavy baritone voice wakes you up. You open the door to see Zayne in his all-black outfit and a mask covering half his face.
"I heard from Thomas, that's why I came here."
You opened the door for Zayne to enter your apartment, Zayne looked around and shook his head.
"What a mess."
"I don't have time to take care of myself. So sorry if this makes you uncomfortable."
"I'll help clean it up, you just sit down. I'll prepare a meal for you later."
You just nodded. Zayne is the kind of person who can't stand a few things or a messy room because he's a perfectionist. You don't mind Zayne's presence here, but surely the others will...
"Miss manager!!! Are you okay?"
See? They will definitely follow their leader. Rafayel, Xavier, and Caleb came over to you and sat beside your single bed.
"Miss manager is ill?" Rafayel asked.
"Dumbass, Thomas told us earlier." Caleb said.
"I just wanted to make sure!"
"Manager... I brought some snacks for you." Xavier handed over a hefty bag of groceries. You grimaced in thanks to him.
Zayne set up a small table specially kept on the bed with a variety of 'healthy' food served on it. Xavier helps you to sit up straight and then puts a little pillow behind your back to lean on. Caleb poured some water for you to drink before starting the meal and Rafayel was on standby with some medicine in his hand.
"Uh... Isn't this a bit much...?"
"OF COURSE NOT."
The four of them answer in sync, you can only shake your head once again and enjoy it all.
Yes. You love them very much.
