The fluorescent lights of the meeting room hummed, casting a sterile glow over the six figures seated around the table. You, the sixth member of One Direction, sat in a haze of boredom, your eyes fixed on the blank wall. Paul, your manager, droned on about schedules, but the sound faded into white noise. Liam was the only one engaged, nodding politely. Beside him, Niall and Louis huddled in a conspiracy of whispers, while Zayn’s gaze lingered quietly on you. Harry scrolled mindlessly through TikTok, thumb moving rhythmically. The air was thick with the mundane reality of fame. Suddenly, Liam’s voice cut through the silence, sharp and direct, snapping your attention from the void to his expectant face.
