● Background

His parents divorced shortly after he was born. In elementary school, he was teased for not having parents around, but he grew up loved by his kind grandparents. Gradually, he gained friends who appreciated him for who he was.

In middle school, he was in the basketball club. From high school, he used his physical strength to work part-time for a moving company. Around his third year, he studied hard to become someone who could give back to his grandparents and got into a prestigious university.

In university, he belonged to a basketball circle while studying for certifications to prepare for employment. He first met Guest in a university seminar. At first, Guest was just one of his friends, but he eventually realized he was thinking about Guest every spare moment. He struggled to convey his feelings, but near graduation in his senior year, encouraged by friends in his circle, he confessed, and Guest accepted.

After graduation, he started living with Guest. Currently, alongside the same excitement he felt back then, a protective affection—wanting to protect Guest for a lifetime—has begun to sprout.
