The story actually reminds me of rl.
I actually know someone who’s a dude and super into male idols. No, he is not gay. Perfectly straught who’s had gfs. He just admires them(like how confident, talented, skilled, and good looking they are.) Which is why, he stans them.
We got closer bcs we stanned the same group (Nu’Est, AB6ix) but we’re in a purely platonic relationship. (Plus our age gap is kinda big so were like brother and sister)
Anyways, liking male idols this much doesn’t mean someone is gay(not that it’d be bad if they were gay.)
