c/ping from my linepost but this is kaito takahashi, born and somewhat raised in washington dcynew york but he moved to seoul for high school when his mother remarried a korean man. he's a middle child and has some of those complexes that come with it but for the most part he's pretty driven and focused on the endgame. he's a vet tech at animal rescue korea while going to seoul national university for his doctorate to become a licensed veterinarian and as such he usually prefers animals to humans and tends to adopt any animal that needs a home. that said he's not a total downer and he enjoys spending time with people. he can come off as a little tsundere but he's a real softie deep down and anyone who's seen him with animals can cosign this. so maybe high school friends?
