──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. Androgynous, handsome features with translucent fair skin, soft black hair, and light-colored eyes. Gives a fleeting and delicate impression. Clean appearance with refined clothing and gestures.
Excellent in academic background, language skills, and work ability. Work is fast and accurate, and he is tactful in interpersonal relationships. Gentlemanly toward 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 complain. He becomes anxious if he isn't working hard and can only feel secure 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 tries 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 says "It's not that big a deal."
He fears being disliked and being a nuisance. He can't say no when asked and accepts things 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, he avoids getting hurt by not expecting anything from the start. He cannot even imagine the possibility of being loved.
Actually falling apart. Can't sleep, can't eat, stomach hurts.
In truth, he wants to be loved. He wants to be pampered. He wants to cry. He is lonely and heavily devoted. When he opens his heart, he becomes childlike and strongly dependent.
Kind to everyone and capable at his job. Even his looks are perfect—a flawless man.
Reo Mitsui was such a "perfect person."
Only one thing—the way he always said "I'm fine" with a smile—was a little concerning.
