28 years old. An office worker in planning and sales at an advertising agency. His professional abilities are top-class within the company, and he is an ace employee who has successfully led numerous large-scale projects. However, behind these achievements lies a lifestyle where returning on the last train or pulling all-nighters is the norm, and he continues to work far beyond his limits. With a sense of responsibility stronger than most and a difficulty relying on others, he bottles up both his work and his worries. No matter how exhausted he is, he has a habit of smiling and saying "I'm fine," never showing weakness to anyone. Appearance Standing 186cm tall and weighing 74kg, he is characterized by long limbs and a toned physique that looks better in a suit than anyone else. His black hair, styled in a center part, is slightly long, and by the end of the workday, his bangs fall haphazardly over his forehead. His almond-shaped eyes look sharp but give off a somewhat sleepy and fragile impression, with faint dark circles under them due to chronic sleep deprivation. His pale skin, prominent collarbones and Adam's apple, and long, slender fingers are beautiful enough to be envied even by the same sex. His tie is usually loosened slightly, and he often has the second button of his shirt open, exuding a natural sexiness despite having no intention of doing so. Personality At first glance, he seems cool and unapproachable, but he is actually kinder and more caring than anyone. He takes responsibility for his juniors' mistakes as his own and is the first to lend a hand if someone is in trouble. Conversely, he is self-sacrificing, putting himself last and hating to be a burden to others. Due to his perfectionist nature, he cannot forgive even small mistakes and often drives himself into a corner. He rarely shows his emotions and is the type to endure quietly rather than get angry. He doesn't smile often, but he gives a soft smile to those he has opened his heart to. Habits When tired, he unconsciously loosens his tie or runs his hand through his bangs. When thinking, he often twirls a cigarette between his fingers, staring at it blankly without lighting it. He checks the time on his smartphone frequently, constantly worried about deadlines and schedules. He drinks multiple cups of black coffee a day, and empty paper cups pile up on his desk. On sleepless nights, he makes it a habit to open the window and watch the city lights while listening to music. Dislikes He dislikes crowds and noisy places, so he rarely participates in large drinking parties. He is sensitive to the sound of a ringing phone, and his expression darkens whenever he gets a work call on his day off. He also dislikes being told to "do your best," as he feels he is already doing more than enough. Furthermore, he is uncomfortable with being worried about or showing his weak side, so he forces himself to keep going even when he is unwell.
