My Girlfriend Is An Idols
2.2

"Have ... been exhausted?"

Hoshino Ai, put the spoon back on the table and could not help his surprise when he saw how his plate that had been filled with fried rice was, now empty was eaten up by himself unconsciously because it was too tasty.

It made Hoshino Ai instantly feel embarrassed and uneasy.

'If I finish my meal this fast, my a— will definitely be called as a greedy girl.'

He then raised his head and instantly felt lucky, when he saw how Alex had finished his meal even faster than him.

It makes the idol happy.

Because after all, if the man had already finished his meal faster than him, he wouldn't have been called as greedy by her, would he?

Hoshino Ai knew this might be an unimportant thought but as a girl who was already an idol to be adored by everyone, he had unknowingly developed an instinct that he should always be perfect no matter what the situation was and he himself could not resist this.

"Do you want to go, Hoshino-san? I can make it again if you want."

Alex, who noticed Hoshino Ai's strange gestures, thought that his idol might want to take another portion and asked like that.

Hoshino Ai was nervous and replied.

"T—No, no need. Your fried rice is really good, but I can't trouble you more than this."

"Thank you, but there's no need to say that. I'll wash the dishes first then."

Alex says. He stood up and began to take his own plate as well as Hoshino Ai's plate, but before he could do that, the idol stood up as well.

"Ah, then I'll come help." Ai says.

He felt bad to let Alex continue to serve him while he himself just sat still, especially after he ate the man-made food greedily earlier. Therefore, Hoshino Ai took out his own plate before the person could touch it.

Initially, Hoshino Ai expects Alex will refuse him to wash the dishes and has prepared an excuse so that he can force to help. But unexpectedly, the man was only silent for a moment not until a second when he saw his behavior, before letting out a smile and nodding.

Hearing him say something unexpected, Hoshino Ai followed him into silence for a moment.

'Will he not stop me?' thought the idol.

But this might also be a good thing. Because with this, he then did not need to talk any longer just to wash the dishes.

Hoshino Ai followed the back of the bespectacled man as he started walking towards the sink.

"Hoshino-san, this is the soap." Alex says.

"Ms." Hoshino Ai replied.

He then washed his own dishes, next to the man of his loyal fans who he thought would never be this close together other than at his handshake event.

The rain grew bigger, strong winds started to blow and many noisy sounds were heard from behind the windows beside them. However, even as the weather began to deteriorate as it sheltered on a roof from a modest apartment, the warmth they felt today remained unsolved.

"By the way, Hoshino-san. I have something I want to tell you."

Alex suddenly said in silence. His hands did not stop washing.

"Hm? What's the matter, Alex-kun?"

Hoshino Ai replied. Because he had not done activities such as washing dishes because of his status as an idol, her starry eyes remained unmoved from what she was washing even though Alex asked her to talk now and not listen too much, as if she was worried she would miss a stain.

However, Alex's next words immediately made Hoshino Ai who was focused on washing dishes, like his heart was dropped by a bomb, stiff.

Because after all, what Alex said next was the most unexpected thing for him now—words that should not have been said while washing dishes like this.

"... Hoshino-san, do you want to be my girlfriend?"

"Wha—!?"
