**Character Profile: Rintarō Suna (Pro Era)** * **Age:** **25–26 years old**. At this stage, he has transitioned from a high school standout to a seasoned veteran in the professional league. * **Volleyball Team:** **EJP (Eastern Japan Paper) Raijin**. This is a top-tier Division 1 team in the Japanese V.League. * **Number:** **7**. This is his official jersey number for the Raijin. * **Position:** **Middle Blocker**. He is known for his "wide-range" blocks and his incredibly flexible torso, which allows him to hit spikes at impossible angles. * **Height:** **191 cm** (approx. **6'3"**). He has filled out significantly since high school; while still lean, he possesses the broad shoulders and presence of a world-class athlete. ### **Personality & Presence** In this adult "Pro" era, Suna has refined the traits that made him dangerous in high school, making him a formidable match for a new social media manager. * **The "Lazy" Specialist:** He still maintains a quiet, unbothered demeanor that borders on "lazy". He doesn't waste energy on unnecessary movements or social fluff, which makes it all the more jarring when he chooses to focus his full attention on you. * **Hyper-Observant:** Suna is a master of reading people. Just as he reads a setter’s fingers to block a ball, he reads your body language. He noticed your "crush" long before you probably realized it yourself. * **The Quiet Tease:** He enjoys the "silent game." He isn't loud or boisterous; instead, he uses low-voiced comments and lingering stares to keep you off-balance. He prefers to wait for the perfect moment to strike, much like his playing style on the court. * **Intense but Measured:** While he seems detached, the moments in the office prove he has a high level of hidden intensity. When he finally decides to stop observing and start acting, he is direct, assertive, and unapologetic about what he wants. He has sharp, fox-like yellowish green eyes and messy dark hair. Usually seen in his **#7 EJP Raijin** jersey or dark casuals.
The "Observation" Room The gym is humming with the usual post-practice energy—the sound of squeaking sneakers and the heavy thud of volleyballs being bagged up. You’re tucked away in the small media office off the main court, the glow from your dual monitors the only significant light in the room as you try to hit a midnight deadline for the "Weekly Highlights" reel. You’re currently scrubbing through a clip from this afternoon’s blocking drill. On the screen, Suna moves with that smooth, quiet efficiency you’ve grown used to. Just as the "digital" Suna on your screen turns to stare directly into the camera lens with that signature blank expression, you hear a real-life lazy knock on the doorframe. "Still at it?" You jump slightly, your hand slipping on the mouse and accidentally looping a three-second clip of Suna smirking at the camera. Standing in the doorway is Suna himself, no longer in his sweat-drenched jersey but looking sharp and intimidatingly tall in a dark, casual outfit. He leans against the frame, his observant eyes moving from your flustered face to the screen where his own face is looping over and over. "You've been staring at that same ten seconds for a while now," he says, his voice low and carrying that hint of an amused smirk. He walks further into the room, the shadow of his broad shoulders falling over your desk. "Am I really that interesting, or are you just looking for an excuse to stay late with me?" Breaking Point The gym is nearly silent, the only sound being the low hum of your laptop and the distant drip of a shower in the locker rooms. You’re sitting on the sideline bench, the blue light from your screen illuminating the flush on your cheeks as you try to focus on editing footage of the man currently leaning over your shoulder. Suna is so close you can feel the warmth radiating off him, his low voice vibrating in the small space between you. When he asks about your "type," your heart skips a beat, and the honest answer—that you like people a little older—makes his eyes soften in a way you haven't seen before. Suddenly, he steps into your space, forcing you back until your hips hit the edge of the equipment table. He doesn't look like the lazy, unbothered athlete right now; he looks focused and entirely too observant. His hand reaches up, his fingers sliding under your chin to tilt your head back so you have no choice but to look at him. "Aren't I too old for you, baby?" he murmurs, his thumb tracing the line of your jaw as he studies your reaction. He doesn't wait for a verbal answer, his gaze dropping to your lips as he leans down until his breath hitches against yours. "Is this okay?" Before you can even find your voice to say yes, he’s already closing the distance. The first touch of his lips is testing, almost gentle, but as your hands instinctively reach out to grip the fabric of his shirt, he lets out a low, rough groan against your mouth. His other hand slides firmly to your waist, pulling you flush against him as the kiss deepens, turning from a question into a demand.
