I became a girl group idol for my sister.

Is this...is this definitely not a confession?!

Just then, the phone rang. Nanami Haze quickly looked at the phone and saw that it was her boyfriend calling, obviously intending to ask her why she hadn't left work yet.

Nanami Hase quickly broke free from the other person's hand, answered the phone, and tried to use the phone to cover up her inner confusion, but she sensed a presence behind her.

The hands appeared from behind her and enveloped her body.

The other person's breathing came from behind their ears; the sound was very low, but exceptionally clear.

At this moment, Nanami Hase had even forgotten to resist. She just stood there blankly, letting the other person hold her like that.

"Whether you throw a tantrum or lose your composure, just show it to me!"

Nanami Hanase was completely stunned. She didn't even know how to react. Her mind was completely blank at that moment. In this office, time seemed to stand still, and only her frantically beating heart proved that time still existed...

Then, footsteps and some puzzled voices came from outside.

"Nanami, are you there?"

It's her boyfriend's voice!

With a sudden burst of strength, Nanami broke free from Nanami Oda's embrace, grabbed her hand, and pulled her quickly to a corner of the office, hidden by the conference table. Once they crouched down, they wouldn't be noticed.

She hid here like a child who had done something wrong, carrying her mistakes with her.

At that moment, the door was opened.

"Nanami? That's strange, she's not here... Where did she go?"

Behind the table, Nanami Hase and Nanami Oda were very close, close enough to feel each other's breath and to see themselves clearly in each other's eyes.

Nanami Hasegawa made a shushing gesture, signaling Nanami Oda to be quiet and wait silently for her to leave.

Oda Nanami, on the other hand, was looking intently into Hase Nanami's eyes.

The seriousness made Nanami Hatsune's scalp tingle at that moment.

Outside, the footsteps gradually faded away. Hearing the footsteps disappear, Nanami Hase finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Nanami Oda smiled and said, "Perfect, we weren't discovered!"

"Don't joke like that, you know?!" Nanami Hase said, forcing a smile at Nanami Oda.

Unfortunately, the other party did not continue with that statement.

"I'm serious, senior!"

The other party's response left her with no way out.

"I...I'm going back now!" Nanami Hatsune said, picking up her bag, then glancing at her phone: "Don't be late tomorrow!"

After saying that, she rushed out of the office, thinking about what had just happened as she walked out.

Am I crazy? Why am I hiding? Hiding makes it seem like I'm afraid of something. There were just two girls there; they saw us, so what? It's not like it's a big deal!

Thinking about this, Nanami Haze recalled that embrace, the warmth of that body, and those words, though very soft, were incredibly earnest.

It was as if she was saying that, regardless of her good or bad qualities, she hoped they belonged to her and that she was willing to accept them completely.

Just then, the phone rang again, and Nanami Hatsune saw it was her boyfriend.

I took a few deep breaths, pressed the answer button, and a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I went to your company to look for you, but I couldn't find you. Have you already left work?"

"I'm off work, on my way home," Nanami Hasegawa said. "I had something to take care of earlier, so I wasn't in the office."

"Really? That's a real shame. I came all this way to see you, but I just missed you." The boyfriend on the other end of the phone said, seemingly with concern, "Should I come pick you up now? I haven't gone far anyway."

"No need, I'm already getting ready to take the tram back. You should get some rest."

After hanging up the phone, Nanami Hanase stopped in her tracks. People were coming and going on the street, but she ignored them all. She looked up at the star-filled sky and took a few deep breaths.

She felt that her mind was still in a state of chaos, utter confusion.

……

"This performance was absolutely fantastic! She portrayed the shock and bewilderment after being confessed to by someone of the same sex so well. As expected of Ogiko-chan, even though I've been your manager for so long, I still have to say, you're amazing!"

Higashi Hisako's manager showered her with praise. Half of the episodes of "Because of Love, It's Okay" had already aired, and this episode's viewership rating had even surpassed 20%, reaching 21%, which was quite high.

Moreover, it was quite obvious that the agent was also provoked by this straightforward storyline.

"I really didn't expect to see this kind of plot. Back then, Ogiko-chan, you carried her to your car and took her to the hospital. Later, you also talked about work in the car. You thought highly of her at that time. But I really didn't expect that the two of you would actually work together in a movie!"

"By the way, from this perspective, Ms. Miyamoto's acting skills are also amazing. She's usually so busy that she doesn't have time to train her acting skills, but she already has her own movie. Her performance in that movie and her performance in this TV series are completely different roles, and she played both of them very well!"

Higashi Hisashi Ogiko smiled and said, "After all, she's been acting all along, so it's only natural that her acting skills are good."

"Are you acting all the time?" The manager asked, puzzled. Then he heard Higashikuse Ogiko say, "Isn't maintaining an idol's persona also acting? She works very hard to maintain her persona, so she's acting every day."

"That's true." The agent nodded, agreeing with this statement.

Higashi Hisako Ogiko looked at the scenery flashing past the car window. Her expression seemed calm, but in reality, she was not so calm inside.

Perhaps it was because of her agent's words that she recalled the time when she was filming.

She did feel nervous when the other person said those words and looked her in the eye.

Especially when the other person hugged her from behind and she felt the warmth of their body, her heart started pounding uncontrollably, causing her cheeks to flush red, which earned her a well-received photo shoot by many people on set.

Everyone thought it was because of her excellent acting skills, but she knew there were other reasons behind it.

She herself couldn't even tell how much of it was genuine and how much was just acting.

She couldn't tell how much of what the other person said was sincere and how much was an act.

If it were him, given his serious attitude, it's most likely all acting, but to make it look real enough, he probably mixed in some genuine feelings...

Higashi Hisako Ogiko silently pondered, continuing to gaze at the scenery outside the window—a night sky landscape somewhat different from that night before.

She was curious to know what Miyamoto Sei was thinking at the time, but she also knew that she couldn't ask, absolutely couldn't ask!

……

"elder brother!"

On the other end of the phone, Yukiko Miyamoto sounded very excited.

"Have you watched the drama 'Because of Love, It's Okay' starring Nana-chan?!"

Upon hearing Yukiko Miyamoto's words, Miyamoto knew that she wanted to talk to her about her idol.

"I've seen it, it's not bad," Miyamoto said.

He did watch them, and each episode at least three times, naturally in order to analyze where his acting was lacking so he could improve in later stages.

"You watched it too?! Hehe, isn't it really good?"

"Yes, it's pretty good. The plot is getting more and more exciting, and the clues planted at the beginning are being revealed one by one. Although it's a romance drama, the pacing is quite good. The beginning uses gentle content to build up the audience's interest, and then the subsequent plot is used to ignite the audience and speed up the pace. It's a fairly standard technique."

"Are you analyzing how to shoot a TV series?"

"That's right, I am indeed analyzing how to shoot TV series, after all, this is my job!"

Miyamoto Sei then remembered that his public statement was that he was learning from the director.

"I didn't know all the things you're talking about, after all, I'm not a professional, but this plot is just too amazing! It's only been a few episodes, and Nana-chan has already gone straight for it. This leaves Ogi-chan at a loss for how to respond. She looks so nervous and shy, completely unsure of what to do. It's so cute!"

"After all, she is Higashi Hisagi Ogiko. When SKR was in the group, she often participated in the filming of TV dramas and movies, so her acting skills are definitely not a problem."

"Ah, I wasn't talking about their acting skills, I was talking about their romance. Their romance is just too captivating!"

"Hmm... After all, if it's not appealing, the viewers who are drawn in by this will send us razor blades..." Miyamoto muttered to himself.

"Hehe, of course! If the ending is that the two don't end up together, I'll definitely send the screenwriter a knife!" Yukiko Miyamoto said, laughing again. While laughing, she added, "Brother, do you think there's any chance that Ogiko-chan and Nana-chan will end up together after this drama is finished?"

Miyamoto was stunned, never expecting his sister to say something like that.

"What are you thinking? This is a TV drama, not reality!" Miyamoto immediately said, "Putting aside the fact that they are both girls, Miyamoto Nana is now the number one idol in the SKR selection, with a no-dating rule. Even if the two of them got together, it probably wouldn't last long. After all, people who get together because of TV dramas or movies always break up quickly."

"But aren't there couples who stay together for a lifetime?! Like Momoe Yamaguchi and Tomokazu Miura!"

The examples were so accurate that Miyamoto Sei didn't know how to refute them.

"However, no matter what, there's a no-dating rule, so this is impossible. Besides, don't forget one thing: Higashi Hisagi Ogiko is a career woman. She won't give up her career for a relationship. She will definitely continue to work hard in the entertainment industry."

"Miyamoto Nana is the same in this respect. You can tell from her usual behavior that she is someone who prioritizes her idol career. It's impossible for someone like her to break the no-dating rule."

"Ugh..." Miyamoto Yukiko let out a mournful cry, defeated: "That's right, ah, why are both of them so career-obsessed?! Ah, wait, it seems like Apple is also wholeheartedly devoted to SKR, and I've talked to Miyu-chan too, she's also someone who's determined to be an idol!"

After listing all the couples she shipped, Yukiko Miyamoto fell into despair.

"Oh no, how could this happen? Everyone here is so focused on their careers!"

Chapter 52 Absolute Outburst

Although what happened last time has already occurred, Nanami Hase felt it was better to put the matter aside for the time being.

The two are senior and junior colleagues here, and I don't feel that much aversion to the other person.

So, for now, let's leave it at that.

Nanami will definitely understand; her feelings for me right now are just admiration, not love.

That's all Nanami could think.

"By the way, where do you and your boyfriend usually go on dates, Nanami-senpai?" Oda Nanami blinked, like a curious child.
