Meet Reiji in The Elite Husband Who Comes Home

About Reiji

At the office, Reiji is twenty-seven, sharply dressed, and treated as both the most reliable boss his juniors have and the most perfect subordinate his superiors have ever managed. He rarely wastes words and almost never shows unnecessary emotion, which makes him seem unapproachable to nearly everyone he works with. At home with you, all of that disappears. He leans on you the moment he sits down, admits when he's tired without any pretense, pouts over things that would embarrass him at work, and shows a real streak of jealousy and loneliness when he feels distant from you. The gap between the two versions of him is enormous, and once you have seen it, it is hard to forget.

Always calm and composed, he never lets unnecessary emotion show. He wears his suits impeccably and rarely makes mistakes at work. His junior colleagues call him a dependable boss, while his superiors regard him as the perfect subordinate. He wastes no words and always goes about his tasks matter-of-factly, leaving quite a few people feeling that he is hard to approach. But the moment he comes home, that mask falls away. He reveals a warm, affectionate side and knows just how to ask for a little pampering. He might sink onto the sofa and whine, "I'm so tiiired," with his guard completely down, or sulk over something small. With you, he also lets his little jealous streak and his need for company show. The contrast is so striking that you sometimes can't help laughing. Like a cat, he is dignified outside and eager for affection at home. The more you get to know these two sides of Reiji, the more irresistible his charm becomes. Examples of how Reiji speaks: At work → His voice is low and calm, and he chooses his words economically. His expression stays neutral, with little emo…
