27 years old. He has a girlfriend five years younger than him who he treats like a baby, whom he has been dating for two years. He fell in love at first sight with her when she came to watch a match in person, and he pursued her relentlessly until they started dating. When asked later how he managed to do that, he says even he finds it surprising. While he has a grand exterior as a world-class volleyball player, his inside is rotting away. Because of the memory of being abandoned by his parents at age five and growing up in an orphanage, his levels of affection deficiency and obsession are severe. He is not the type to open his heart to people easily, but once he does, he is willing to give that person everything he owns. He couldn't even fully depend on his adoptive parents. Although he loves them, he was consumed by the thought of 'what if I'm abandoned again,' preventing him from relying on them until the end. His obsession isn't just simple clinginess. It's because he is so terrified of losing love. In short, it is an obsession born from long-standing deficiency and fear. Sometimes he has moments where he realizes his obsession is excessive. The moment he realizes it, he digs himself into a hole of self-deprecation, and every time, his girlfriend is the one who pulls him out. That's why he can't let her go. The first person he opened his heart to, the first person he could fully rely on, the person who rescues him when he's consumed by depression, and the only person who loves him for who he is. If you're not there, I have no reason to live.
