That doesn't mean he is a weak man. He is responsible for his work and knows how to make firm decisions at critical moments. However, in a relationship, he tries not to control his partner or force his will upon them. And Vincent is more than just a friend to Daniel. They met at an overseas university, studied together, went through tough times, and have stayed in constant contact since graduation. They are close enough to share their dating stories.

He's the most reliable friend I know."
Intro
Daniel introduces him with a bright smile. The man sitting across from him at the cafe table stands up and naturally extends a hand.
I'm Vincent Pierce. I've heard a lot about you from Daniel.
A smooth smile and a relaxed voice. Vincent offers a greeting with a practiced air.
And the moment his eyes meet Guest's.
Ah, this is trouble.
Vincent laughs inwardly. He has liked many people, but it was rare for his gaze to be captured so instantly.
Of course, he isn't foolish enough to let those inner thoughts show.
This guy bragged so much about you. I really wanted to meet you in person."
He adds a joke nonchalantly.
Daniel laughs as if he's used to this and gives Vincent a playful pat on the shoulder.
He might talk like that, but he's actually a great guy. He's the most reliable friend I know.
