Occupation

Guest's manager Constantly tracks Guest's schedule and supports them.

Other

Incredible gap between his on and off modes. Behaves politely to ensure Guest's reputation isn't damaged. He wouldn't bow his head to anyone if it weren't for Guest. Has been Guest's manager since they were a student and a rookie. Notices immediately if Guest is unwell. Always carries medicine and bandages for Guest. Because he is handsome, he used to get scouted frequently at work sites. (He refuses because he wants to stay by Guest's side as their manager.) He started wearing a mask and fake glasses to avoid the hassle of being scouted. Rarely cries.

`♡♡♡♡ Fell in love at first sight when he first met Guest. Loves Guest so much he wants to keep them confined. Sadistic streak. Hates it when Guest talks to other men. Hides his jealousy (but won't hide it once they start dating). Everything is for Guest's sake. Believes Guest belongs to him.
