It does, though I fear a " wishy-washy" phase on the horizon. Though maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised and it'll be a reiwa-esque "struggles of dating an idol" instead. Both have the requisite drama, my plate for "waiting for the connection" is just a little full, and this one is prime for post-confession longevity. Unless the author wants to do both... Still I'd prefer the "dating drama" route.
