Hokuto Hidaka/Sub Story

Part 1


"Hmm. What a coincidence to see you here, transfer student. This is rather sudden, but is it OK if I hold your hand? ......... Hold on. Don't misunderstand. I'm not the kind of guy who goes around shaking hands with everyone. That's disgusting. Handshake events are one thing, but even then, I try to avoid that kind of work. Anyway, I don't have any ulterior motive. I just want to hold your hand. ...Like I said, hold on. Don't run away. Don't take out your cell hone. Do you plan to call the police? Cut it out. Hmm. There's no helping it, then. I'll explain everything. Geez, why is it that everyone in our class loves to give me troubles? All for a single handshake. ...Oh, please forget about what I just said. You imagined the whole thing. This is bad. I feel like I've been infected with the idiocy of the guys in our class, too. Or maybe it's the people in the Theater Club that's affecting me... Oh, well. In any case, it appears that I have very poor circulation. My extremities are always cold. I don't quite understand it myself. So I want to find out if that's really the case. If it's true, then there're going to be certain problems, both in my everyday life and in my idol activities. Fully understanding the problem, finding out the cause of that problem, making an effort to resolve and conquer the problem, and reaching a higher place, even if it's only a little. That's always been my principle in life. That's why I want you to hold my hand, so that I can ascertain it. Come on, hurry up. Don't lose time. ......... How is it? Hmm. I guess it's cold after all. I've heard that in general, boys' hands are warmer than girls', but if you find my hand cold, then I guess it must be quite cold. How troublesome. I might also make the fans feel uncomfortable during handshake events. There are also times when I touch other members' hands during our choreography, and I don't want to make them jump whenever that happens. What should I do? I have the impression that girls know quite a lot about poor circulation. My mother was like that. I wish for you to come up with a solution for me. That's also part of your duty as our "producer." Do you think that there's no need to be concerned with such a small problem as "having cold hands"? I do not think so. No matter how small the problem is, I want to exterminate it as thoroughly as possible. If not, I cannot put on the best performance that I can. I don't want to stumble because of something so trivial. I don't want to lose. I don't want my path toward greater heights to be plagued with obstacles. I will use all the means in my hand. For my handshake. If I'm the only one who's troubled by this, then I'm fine with that. But I don't want to cause troubles for my teammates as well. So... Please tell me what I should do. I'm expecting an answer from you, producer."
