My Girlfriend Is An Idols
3.1
Hoshino Ai could not help his shock after Alex shot him straight like this. His hand that was washing almost slipped and dropped the plate.
"K—Why?"
It was the first word the idol said after he was shot. Since he only said one word, the range of his questions became wide. However, what makes Hoshino Ai really confused is why Alex shot him now.
Alex put his own seemingly clean plate he washed onto the shelf, then took Hoshino Ai's plate from the idol's hand without making him aware of it and washed it again with the most natural gesture.
Alex opened his mouth and explained, "It's actually because my parents asked for it."
"Your parents ..." Hoshino Ai's birthday.
The idol then immediately understood what Alex was explaining and said, "M—You mean, did your parents ask you to quickly find a partner? Judging from your appearance, your age should not be much different from mine, right, Alex-kun? Why are they in such a hurry?"
Indeed, Hoshino Ai knows that young people today who are the same age as him usually have a girlfriend. But, they usually get girlfriends because of their own wishes and not at the behest of their parents. So when she heard Alex say she was being asked by her parents and it didn't seem on her own accord, the idol became somewhat confused.
Especially considering after Hoshino Ai had heard the curses from one of his idol group members, she knows how parents today are very strict on their child when it comes to the problem of getting a girlfriend at a young age.
Alex kept washing dishes.
"... Maybe I was a little wrong to say it. Rather than parents, it was my grandfather who asked me to quickly find a partner."
"Ohh ..."
Hoshino Ai retorted and nodded, receiving an answer from Alex with a reasonable feeling.
It's not like he's trying to be disrespectful, though, but he also understood that the thinking of older people is sometimes a bit old-fashioned because they used to seem to be getting married at a young age as they are at their present age.
Hoshino Ai understood that after reading it first on the internet.
The idol almost slipped into a fall hearing Alex repeat his love statement.
'But I think the topic is getting diverted ..' thought Hoshino Ai, finding it difficult to respond to this situation.
He took a deep breath.
"T—Hold it, Alex-kun. Why me anyway? Although I know you are a big fan of mine, but rather than choose to make an idol that looks complicated if used as a girlfriend, he said, aren't there a lot of other women out there who are better suited to be your partner's candidate?"
Facing Hoshino Ai's questions, Alex stops her hand washing dishes when she finishes, turns off the sink faucet, and puts it on the shelf as well.
He then turned his head and looked at the starry eyes of his idol directly.
"That's because no one can be a candidate other than you."
"Eh?"
"You are the only person I love. Although I was forced to find a partner by my grandfather, if my partner was not you, then I would not. I know this all feels very pushy but blame yourself for making my heart captivated by you, Hoshino-san."
Alex's big round glasses sparkled as he said that and his empty black eyes that were behind there, were visible.
Although the eyes were completely empty, almost unemotional, Hoshino Ai— - the girl who always lives in lies - knew right away that Alex's words were honesty, sincerity, and pure love.
Like a black hole that sucks up everything in the universe, described as a lost star nearby—the idol can't help but feel that he can be absorbed at any time into that eye.
"I ..."
