Yuta sat on the waiting chair outside his manager's office. He was sitting there for about ten minutes due to his manager Royce speaking with some important people.

While sitting on the chair he pulled out his phone looked through his social media's likings and updated his feed. He found some random picture lying in his storage and decided why not post it. Just to make sure his fans know that he's alive.

Once he was done with that he looked through this camera feed eyes stopping at one picture. the picture of his parents.

Yuta faintly smiles at the picture. Whenever he was alone in his apartment (which was all the time) he often wondered if his parents were proud of him. Of course they were but there was always a voice in his head that always made him wonder if they were proud of him. He hadn't seen them in a while, so there was always that voice in his head.

The sound of the door opening made him quickly turn off his phone shoving it back in his pockets. Two men draped in expensive suits that reeked of We're here to talk about money walked past him not sparing a glance.

With a light chuckle, he stood up and headed into his manager's office, the sound of his shoes clacking against the floor.

His manager Royce sat behind his large table as he typed on his computer. Without saying a word Yuta sat in the chair as he waited for what the man had to tell him.

Royce simply looked up "You missed the meeting again, Yuta." He had a New York accent mixed with Italian hues as the man's face held not one ounce of playfulness.

Yuta was about to open his mouth but Royce stopped him before he could "And before you start, we've already added new staff members for the upcoming tour since it's going to be even bigger than before, thank god for the increased budget. Naomi's gonna be out on maternity leave and it's not going to be the end of the world and you would've known this.—"

"If I came to the meeting yesterday, I get it now." Yuta finishes his sentence with a wave of his hand.

"Here are the documents regarding the new staff members," Royce passes him a thick yellow folder "It includes their previous work experience and basic background information."

The man lazily flips through the files of names and contacts of bodyguards, stylists, stage crew, cameramen, vocal coaches, numbers of airlines, addresses of arenas, bus drivers, etc. Closing the document he let out an acknowledging nod "That's a lot."

"I know, but don't dwell on it too much since we have to go." He looks at his watch before standing up. Yuta looks up at him with a raised eyebrow before following along with his movements.

Royce already knowing what he was going to ask simply said "You were supposed to meet the staff members yesterday if you came to the meeting."

"I know I know." Yuta followed Royce passing those clear doors as they walked down the familiar corridor.

"Naomi." Royce greeted them with a firm nod as they entered the room.

There were more people from before that whim Yuta had seen before. What he did see were two familiar faces, as they were the two girls who worked with Naomi on the previous tour. They smiled at Yuta once noticing him and he smiled back at them.

Naomi was still talking to the same woman from earlier who still had that sharp look in her eyes, that only grew soft while she talked to Naomi. It's no surprise Naomi had that effect on everyone.

"I was just telling her to prepare herself." Naomi joked to the manager Royce. Yuta looked offended but smiled nonetheless. He had his habits when it came to touring, he would hardly ever sit and just wanted to be on stage.

Royce had already begun talking and Yuta naturally zoned out only to snap himself back into reality as he realized that he should be listening.

"First things first, I'd like to thank everyone for taking the time out of their day to come here since things couldn't have gone as it was supposed to yesterday." He sent a look at Yuta who pretended that he didn't see.

Clearing his throat Royce speaks up once again "This our new head makeup artist." Royce introduces and Yuta then realizes who he is talking about.

It was the same woman from earlier. Hair styled in a neck length side bob with loose curls dark complimented her neutral earthy tone outfit as she bowed to the rockstar. No words passed her cherry brown lips as a sharp look remained on her face making him wonder if it'll ever change. "Hi, I'm Yuta nice to meet you...?" He didn't mean to sound rude it's just that he didn't know her name. Or maybe it was due to him not paying attention.

"Azira Miller nice to meet you Yuta, It's a pleasure to be your new head makeup artist." New. It dawned on him that Naomi wouldn't be his makeup artist for a long time. With a firm nod, he responded with "Likewise."

Just as the whole introduction was over Yuta took the time to talk to the new crew members saying hi's and getting to know each other. However, he couldn't stop thinking of that girl who only said a few words the entire time.
