Why is my idol insisting I'm dating another group member?

One of my idols is convinced I'm secretly dating one of her fellow group members. I haven't ever even flirted with any of the idols - there is definitely no relationship, and the only thing that sets the girl in question apart from the other group members is that she's graduating in a few weeks. 

The convinced girl 'confronted' me about it and there were 4 options on how we'd been talking about her future/her goals and ambitions/her place in the group or just chatting in general. I thought maybe she'd got the wrong end of the stick and the other girl's graduation and our discussions about it were still a secret but picking each of these options (I reloaded and tried them all) made her get mad and say that the other idol had 'admitted' to her that wasn't the case (???). Selecting that she was right and we were in fact dating gave me a 'haha I knew it'. 

Annoyed at this, I reloaded again and forced her to graduate right away (she's a mediocre bully anyway, bye girl) and yet she STILL popped up a couple of days later to tell me I was definitely dating the other idol.

What gives? Is this a bug and it's an event that's supposed to trigger when you ARE dating an idol, or is this all correct and you're supposed to get false accusations and no way out of it?

Developer

Yes, this should only happen if you are actually dating an idol. Do you still have a save file before it happens?

Developer

Or wait, maybe it’s not the event I’m thinking about. There’s also an event where you have to tell the girl what you talked about with the other girl when you socialised with her, but if you tell her correctly she should believe you.

Thanks for responding so quickly. I'm really enjoying the game.

Yes, I think it's the latter event. In a previous cutscene, both girls were talking and Girl 1 accused Girl 2 of dating me, then there was at least one more with Girl 2 asking what to do and I said I'd handle it.

When Girl 1 came up in the most recent scene, I answered with the option that I thought best fit what we had been talking about, so I was confused when she didn't accept that and gave me a 'that's not what [other idol] told me in our heart-to-heart message, liar' response.

I reloaded from a save just before the confrontation and tried other options, but every single one other than 'yes we're dating' gives me the angry liar response. I could try and get screenshots? Or just let it go, but I don't like the baseless accusation with no way out :P

For what it's worth, I'd been talking to Girl 2 partly because about her upcoming graduation and partly to find out who the bully in our midst is (it's Girl 1, but that doesn't have any bearing on this as far as I can tell, right?)


Developer

Okay, thanks, I see. I'll double check this event

I had this happen too, but in my case Girl 2 was 12... So I immediately knew something was off. When confronted I said "yes, we're dating" and Girl 1 was satisfied with the response LOL gave me a laugh at the time

Lmao nooooooo, mine is 22 at least!
