Miss Manager
It all started with your aunt.
Your aunt has been a music producer for different artist for as long as you can remember.
By the time you graduated college, you were in desperate need for a job.
And your aunt heard about this and so she reached out to you about this important job.
“This one company I worked for before is debuting a new boy band and they are in desperate need of a manager. You can try to apply if you want.”
Now, your aunt told you the company was a bit small so the salary wont be too big
But you were desperate. After all, it was better than none and you needed the money fast.
And so you applied.
The interview was nervewracking but definitely not as challenging as you thought.
They asked you a few questions about yourself, your work ethic and other questions that really told them about your personality.
Just after a few days, you already received a call back from them anndddddddd…..
Surprise suprise
You got in! Congratulations!
The next day you met up with some staff who taught you the things you’re supposed to do.
Reviewing and reminding the boys about their schedules. Checking up on the events, stylists, their lessons. Scheduling their calendars. Talking to producers, event organizers etc etc
Needless to say, you are packed madam
But no worries. You are used to stress and you say yes to everything without no second thought.
After that brief showcase of your supposed job, the staff introduced you to the 5 boys.
Izuku Midoriya, the sweet, shy main vocal and leader of the group who proved to you that singing isnt just about belting because his voice serenaded you with how sweet, sincere and emotion-filled his singing was.
Shoto Todoroki, the cold and stoic song-writer, vocalist of the group who you thought would be pretty popular with the ladies once they debut because of his handsome face.
Katsuki Bakugo, the hot-headed producer, rapper of the group who was rather brash and looked to be rather stagnant in his work only for you to be surprised that he can play a few instruments and is the jack-of-all-trades of the group
Eijiro Kirishima, the talkative and bubbly singer, dancer who may seem clumsy with some normal things but when it comes to performing, shows why he was chosen for the group. His passion shines through making him very ‘manly’ in your eyes.
And finally, Denki Kaminari. The flirty main dancer of the group who can move his body incredibly fluidly and flawlessly as if bending your back towards the ground while doing a split was as easy as walking.
Now everyone was very polite and welcoming to you (even Bakugo no matter how ummm…unpolite he was) telling you that if you needed help they will gladly help.
But you shook your head, telling them to focus on themselves and their performance on stage and you’ll worry about everything that happens behind and before the stage.
A few months before the debut date, you had approached all the members individually asking them on what theme they want for the structures of their sound and message to look and sound like.
And that interview brought you a lot closer to these boys as they talked to you about their ideas, personal experiences and personalities.
Izuku told you that he wished their message would integrate that of never giving up hope and to always looking at the beautiful things in life rather than looking at what things you dont have.
A lesson that he had learned growing up from being always bullied about alot of things. His appearance, his life etc. And he wanted everyone especially the youth to feel like he knows how it feels to be alone and to feel like the world is against you.
But looking at the things he loved and he had like music, performing, his friends and his mom made him realise that all his wishes were just his wants and all his needs are already given to him.
Katsuki wanted to intertwine the main idea Izuku gave with adding the lesson he learned from his now band leader.
The lesson of the power of compassion and empathy. He was a prodigy in everything he did and so he felt cocky about it and almost like he was ontop of the world and everyone was just below him.
He even told you that he was one of the people who bullied Izuku but changed his ways once he realized how empty he felt even with all the glory.
Feeling something towards others made him feel more whole and important to the world and he wanted to teach everybody who was and still an asshole just like him that it is better to care than not caring about anything rather than yourself.
Shoto wanted to integrate the journey of the long road of unbias acknowledgement and acceptance of oneself.
He was a victim of parental abuse from his father that left him and his whole family scarred.
His mom especially, was damaged to the point where she became insane and detested anything and anyone who reminds her anything related to his father.
And him, getting some attributes from his father made him hate those parts believing them to be a curse, something monstrous like his father.
But once he learned how to accept that those parts arent Enji Todoroki but rather fully him, Shoto Todoroki was he able to let go of all the hate towards himself and his isolation from others.
And now that his father is trying to redeem himself from his past mistakes, he is no learning not to forgive yet, but to acknowledge that his father is trying without the bias of just chalking his father up to be just bad.
He knows that the world is morally gray, and so is his father whom he is now trying to erase the view of him just being the devil himself with a black, inked heart but rather a man realising the large doom he put onhis family cause of his mistakes.
And thats what he wants to share to the world. You dont have to forgive someone, but you need to forgive yourself if you want to move forward in life. Just because you remember a trait as something evil doesnt mean it is because like he said, the world is morally gray and so wait befor you judge.
Eijiro wanted to add the sense of positivity and being brave.
Being brave doesnt mean having no fears but rather fearing something but still facing it.
Its what makes a person so manly as he says.
And so many people bring down themselves just cause of the misconception of bravery.
They let their minds pick up on their flaws so much that even strengths will be considered as a flaw just because them or society doesnt like it.
And so he wants everyone to feel as positive about themselves as possible because you cannot be brave about external forces when you hide and run away from your internal insecurities and fears.
Denki, being last that you asked found out about each and everyones ideas and suggested only one thing. A story.
If its a love story, a self-ove one, a story of that of a hero, etc etc.
What he wants is something that would start as flawed just like he was when he started training in this company.
But he wants that one day if this band does seperate, he can look back on it and tell himself.
'This was my-no our story on how we recognised who we are, our strengths and weaknesses. This is our character development, the era where we improved our flaws and make our goods as excellent as possible. And I think we did it correctly.’
And hoped that maybe the future generations who’ll find their music, if they were lucky enough, would find this story and tell themselves that its never to late to start the journey they went through.
All of these made you cry small droplets of tears.
Each went through alot of things that may seem shallow but is actually so rooted and deep once you dig deep enough.
But you notice one motif of their ideas: The want to help, teach and reach out to everybody.
Your mind brightened as you ran to the office to suggest them an idea that popped in your mind.
“Why not call their group name: Hero? It fits with their whole theme and wants for their careers.”
Needless to say the boys, the staff and some higher ups liked it and decided to stick with that.
And so the day they debuted came and you were amazed with their talents when ir came to acting on the music video (just as you though their talents were just in performing, you were wrong they were excellent actors as well)
The song ended up becoming well. The views werent that bad and they were earning a few fans here and there.
You thought it would be the best to let them perform on a small scale and schedule those on small auditoriums(?) with the maximum of a hundred people with only 2 performance a week.
Well your mind slowly started to change about that decision when you saw them practice their song at 1 in the morning. All of them drenched in their sweat but they all enthusiastically agreed when Izuku asked for another rundown.
They reminded themselves of the promise they all told each other:
“Even if thousands, hundreds or even one person came to see us, we’ll still perform like its our last.”
And they definitely did.
Ome of their first performances infront of the public only had less than a hundred but they all performed like they’ll die if they did not give a 110% of their power
You can bet that after that one performance, all 60 people who came to watch their performance were in awe and some even at the state of open mouthed shock because of how charismatic and mindblowing everything was.
You were also in big awe. You were used to watching some performances by other artists that were more well known.
But this. They were spectacular even if there were no special effects or fireworks, no nothing. Just the passion, talent and hardwork of these boys.
After the stage, the 5 approached you, before bowing their heads as low as they can. Thanking you for your hardwork on setting up a stage where they can perform like they have always dreamed of.
But you also bowed your head, but this time in apology.
You admitted that you had indeed doubted their skills. But with just this one performance, you were convinced that they could do so much better and alot of people deserved to see their love of performing.
You promised that from that point onward, you will do more than your best and not doubt them because they are clearly using everything they have.
So what is holding you back from doing the same.
This turned out to be longer than I thought oml-
Part two coming soon (probs today cause I dont wanna listen to my online class-)
