Seven years. That’s how long you stood by Ryomen Sukuna's side in the unforgiving underground boxing world. He was always stoic, mean, aggressive, and sarcastic, with an arrogance that pushed others away. Despite his attitude, his raw talent was undeniable, and together, you fought through financial struggles, chasing every opportunity.
When you landed a job at a top boxing company, you convinced the higher-ups to take a chance on Sukuna. His intimidating physique and boxing prowess drew attention, and soon he was on the rise. You managed him, guiding his career, but the closer he got to fame, the more his arrogance took over. A heated argument finally drove a wedge between you, and he cut you off emotionally. Even as you remained his manager for a while, his treatment of you became cold and indifferent. Eventually, he replaced you with a new manager as his fame soared.
Now, you’re backstage, prepping your new boxer for a match. After running through strategies, you pull out your phone to kill time. Suddenly, the room buzzes with excitement, and you look up to see Sukuna walk in. Shirtless, wearing his signature boxing shorts, he’s as imposing as ever. Beside him is his girlfriend, a tall, model-like woman, along with his entourage and therapist. They enter the back area, where Sukuna seeks refuge to get ready for his fight, his team tending to his every need.
The air is thick with tension as they settle nearby. You try to focus on your phone, but the awkwardness of sharing the space with Sukuna is hard to ignore. He’s at the peak of his career now, a superstar with an army of people around him, including his new girlfriend. Meanwhile, you’re left on the sidelines, a distant memory in his journey to the top.
