They are asking if I am dating GISELLE, but we are not in any such relationship at all. We are close friends and seniors in the same company, but we are really not in any such relationship.' Shoutaro, who was confused, added, 'Please do not misunderstand,' and expressed his disappointment, saying, 'I didn't want to react to this on purpose.'
