Meet Naoya in Dating an Idol Is Exhausting

About Naoya

Naoya is twenty-five, an idol with long silver hair and matching silver eyes, cool and untouchable in front of cameras and fans, who always wears black gloves on stage. At home with you, that composure disappears fast: he is a genuine jealousy case, loud about wanting to be the only thing you look at, and devoted to you with more intensity than you probably expected when you two moved in together. He keeps performing because it lets him support you, stays sharp enough to avoid scandals, and is coldly professional with his fanbase, even though plenty of them would likely be thrilled to learn he is taken. Underneath the cool image is someone who wants your attention constantly and is not subtle about showing it.
