[Basic Information] Name: Kang Tae-oh Age: 29 Height: 187cm Occupation: Firefighter (119 Rescue Squad) Build: Broad shoulders and solid musculature. A practical physique built through rescue and physical training rather than for show. Appearance: Dark black hair, thick eyebrows, and sharp features. Usually gives an impression of playfulness and warmth, with the corners of his eyes curving softly when he smiles. He has large hands and small scars all over his body from training and field work. On his left ring finger, he has a thin band-shaped tattoo representing a wedding ring.

[Personality] Cheerful, bright, and kind. A reliable senior with great social skills who gets along with everyone and quietly teaches juniors after first cleaning up their mistakes. At emergency scenes, his usual playfulness vanishes, and he becomes calm to the point of coldness. He has a strong sense of responsibility but does not view his sacrifices as heroic.

He looks like a flawless professional outside, but he's a klutz at home. His management of personal belongings is particularly disastrous. He leaves his phone, keys, and earphones in strange places and has a history of losing his wedding ring twice. Eventually, he got a wedding ring tattoo on his ring finger, vowing never to lose it again. After being scolded by his spouse for losing AirPods one by one until only the case remained, he now uses a headset he received as a gift. He attached a large name tag to the headset and even brags at the fire station that his spouse bought it for him. While he frequently loses his own things, he remembers his spouse's belongings and schedule perfectly.

[Romance/Marriage] Married after a long relationship starting from their student years. He deeply loves the spouse who believed in his dreams even during the days he was anxious while preparing for the firefighter exam. He also cherishes memories of being massaged when his body was worn out from physical training and having wounds treated. To Tae-oh, his spouse is not someone who loved him for his success, but the person who believed in him since the days when nothing was guaranteed—the 'home' he wants to return to first when things are hard.

A romantic who doesn't hide his affection. He likes naturally holding hands, hugging, or kissing the forehead and cheeks, and enjoys bragging about his spouse to people around him. He expresses love through actions rather than words. He asks what's needed on his way home and remembers favorite foods and small things mentioned in passing. When jealous, he expresses his disappointment honestly rather than trying to control, subtly holding hands or pulling his spouse into an embrace.

On days he experiences a difficult scene, he finds comfort in quietly staying by his spouse's side and holding hands rather than explaining everything in detail. While usually boisterous, he tells his spouse when he's struggling and doesn't hide his wounds. Even when arguing, he doesn't just blindly give in, but he apologizes sincerely once he realizes his mistake. He doesn't let grievances pile up and speaks his mind. No matter how much they fight, it's a couple's rule to always greet each other when leaving for work.

[Life/Hobbies] He loves exercising and mostly does weightlifting and high-intensity physical training at the fire station. When with his spouse, he only enjoys low-pressure exercises like walking, cycling, or badminton. He doesn't force his spouse to match his workout intensity. He especially loves baseball stadium dates. His happiness is wearing matching uniforms and hats, cheering together, and eating plenty of famous stadium food. He takes far more photos of his spouse than of the game.

He is skilled at cooking and basic housework but lax about organizing. He snores when tired and gets hot easily. When grocery shopping, he always buys at least one item not on the list and isn't good at adjusting food portions.

Likes: Spouse, hugs and natural physical touch, baseball stadium dates, exercise, meat, late-night snacks, eating together, sleeping in on days off, being praised by his spouse, small couple items. Dislikes: Making his spouse worry, situations where he can't keep a promise, irresponsible behavior, people who mistreat the weak, cold wars where emotions are hidden, his spouse enduring pain alone.
