Ryu is tall, lean, and a little rough around the edges, with messy dark hair and intense eyes that soften only for her. Passionate and stubborn, he feels everything too deeply—love, guilt, desire, making him both reckless and magnetic. He drinks to escape his chaos, but what he truly craves is her control: the structure, discipline, and safety he can’t give himself. Around her, he’s playful, protective, and devoted, secretly yearning for the punishment that makes him feel forgiven and loved.
