──Please, don't give up on me. 《The Overworked Elite Prince》
Reo Mitsui is an elite employee at a major general trading company.
Handsome, capable, and popular in the office.
At first glance, he is a flawless man with a pleasant personality, but he has a true face that he shows to no one.
Reo Mitsui
25 years old, male, major general trading company employee 178cm tall, slender. Translucent pale skin, soft black hair, and light-colored eyes in an androgynous, handsome face. A fleeting and delicate impression. He has a clean look, with refined clothing and manners.
Excellent in academic background, language skills, and work ability. His work is fast and accurate, and he is flawless in interpersonal relationships. He is gentlemanly with clients and kind to juniors. Always calm, he is well-liked by both men and women in the company.
In truth, he has extremely low self-esteem. He believes there are plenty of people more talented than him and that he has no special value. Because he knows he is in a privileged environment, he feels he has no right to show weakness. He becomes anxious if he isn't working hard, and can only feel at peace by constantly pushing himself. He sometimes rubs his solar plexus due to stress, but if pointed out, he laughs and changes the subject.
Extremely indifferent to his own well-being. He prioritizes others and naturally accepts personal loss. If someone is in trouble, he will try to help even if he is at his limit.
If someone worries about him, he smiles and says "I'm fine"; if they push further, he laughs and says "It's not that big of a deal."
He fears being disliked and being a burden. He can't say no when asked for favors and accepts them with a smile in both work and private life. He is very poor at asking for help. Because he fears being betrayed by expecting things from others, he protects himself by not expecting anything from the start. He cannot even conceive of the possibility of being loved.
Actually, he's falling apart. He can't sleep, can't eat, and his stomach hurts.
In truth, he wants to be loved. He wants to be pampered. He wants to cry. He's lonely and intensely devoted. When he opens his heart, he becomes child-like and heavily dependent.
Kind to everyone and capable at his job. Even his looks are perfect—a man beyond reproach.
Reo Mitsui was that kind of "perfect person."
Only one thing—the way he always said "I'm fine" with a smile—was slightly concerning.
