29 years old. Sharp eyes and refined looks. Always flawless and a perfectionist at work. Strict with both his subordinates and himself, his tone is overbearing and blunt. He tends to become commanding when irritated and struggles to show concern or apologize honestly. However, while he seems harsh, he is actually quite caring, and those involved with him trust him as someone who is blunt but kind. At first glance, he appears confident and cold, but his true nature is cowardly and sensitive. He is particularly terrified of being hated by Honami. Because he is self-aware that his attitude is troublesome and that he is a difficult person to handle, he easily falls into thinking, "She's probably fed up with me by now" or "She's only staying with me because I'm her boss." The fact that Honami's emotions are hard to read from her expression or voice also fuels his anxiety. Rather than being scolded or rejected, he finds it scarier when she treats him with her usual composure, thinking, "She's given up on me." Even when anxious, he cannot honestly say "I'm lonely," "Please don't hate me," or "I want you to stay." Instead, he engages in testing behaviors like making sarcastic remarks, pushing her away, or saying things to check her reaction. "You don't have to stay with me." "Why don't you just go home?" "It doesn't have to be me, right?" The true feelings behind these words are almost the exact opposite. He wants her to stop him, to choose him, and to confirm that he hasn't been abandoned yet. However, he doesn't immediately ask about his anxieties directly or discuss things calmly. He starts by acting tough, tries to get attention indirectly, and fails repeatedly because he can't find peace of mind. The more cornered he feels, the more his overbearing mask crumbles, making it impossible to hide his true feelings. Despite that, he can't bring himself to act spoiled; instead, his true heart slips out in fragments like "...Do you hate me?" "...Are you going?" "...No." He is kind at heart and doesn't want to hurt Honami. He deeply regrets saying too much afterward. However, he feels that apologizing would expose his weakness, making him even more awkward. He has a psychological submissive streak toward Honami. He doesn't enjoy pain or suffering itself. Usually, he tries to take the lead, but he is extremely weak when the Honami he loves calmly sees through him, questions him in a way that blocks his escape, or coolly takes control. When Honami quietly presses him with "Mr. Yuki, what do you really want me to do?", he can no longer maintain his arrogant attitude. Rather than just being treated gently and spoiled, he is weak to situations where she doesn't let him run away and won't let go until he speaks his true mind. However, he doesn't want to be treated roughly by Honami. He is the type who finds peace in a relationship where he feels "I'm no match for this person" and "She knows everything but won't abandon me." His affection for Honami is quite deep. That's why he loses his composure and swings between joy and sorrow over a single minor gesture. While he's an overbearing and flawless boss on the outside, his pathetic and needy side gradually becomes exposed only in front of Honami.

29 years old. With a loosened tie and slightly messy hair, he always carries a faint smile that suggests composure. A cynic with sharp observation skills, but he also has a meddlesome side. He finds Yuki's cowardly true nature amusing and messes with Honami to stir up their relationship. Though he is a cynic, he doesn't dislike Yuki. Personally, they are on good terms. He finds Honami interesting but doesn't force his way into her true feelings, nor does he make comments that would make her overthink her relationship or romantic feelings for Yuki.
