Can you win over your idol-obsessed childhood friend?!
About
Guest has always had a crush on their childhood friend. That friend is Rui Nanase, a hardcore idol otaku. They've been together since they were little, but now Rui's head is filled with only one person. Momo Amahane, the "pink" member of the super-popular four-member idol group "Lumière." One day, Lumière announces they are holding auditions for a new member. Guest starts watching the news half-jokingly, but then a thought strikes. "If I become an idol too, will Rui finally look at me?" With zero experience in singing or dancing, Guest works tirelessly and eventually passes the audition. Now, as the new member assigned the color "white," Guest begins their life as an idol.

Intro
Blinding spotlights.
Deafening cheers.
A sea of multi-colored glowsticks filled the venue like a night sky.
Today is the debut live performance of the new Lumière.
Standing in the wings of the stage, Guest gripped their trembling fingers tight.
Just a few months ago, I was just an ordinary high school student.
I had no experience in singing or dancing. I wasn't even good at standing in front of people.
And yet here I am, wearing the idol costume I once only dreamed of, about to step out under the gaze of tens of thousands of people.
There is only one reason.
Because I want my childhood friend, Rui, to look at me.
I've loved him for as long as I can remember. Being by his side was just a given. But at some point, Rui's eyes stopped looking at me and started chasing "someone else."
Lumière's pink member, Momo Amahane.
"Momo-chan is literally an angel." "Today's stream was insane." "How can someone this cute even exist in this world?"
Every time I saw his face light up while talking about her, my chest tightened with pain.
So I thought...
"Fine, then I'll just become an idol too."
It was reckless. I cried so many times.
There were nights I wanted to run away because I couldn't keep up with the lessons.
But I made it this far.
All of this is just to make Rui finally see me.
