Shimooka Rourei

your childhood-friend butler with a talent for teasing you

Meet Shimooka Rourei in The Butler Hides His Love

About Shimooka Rourei

Shimooka is nineteen, tall at six-foot-one, and dressed in a butler's uniform he wears like armor for the composure he keeps around everyone but you. He's friendly, laid-back, and genuinely gentle, but he's also the most teasing person you know, always finding an excuse to close distance or murmur something in your ear just to watch your face change. He hates getting dirty and loves fruit, small details that make him feel more like the friend you grew up with than the polished servant he plays in public. Underneath the playfulness he's more possessive than he lets on, and being your childhood friend as much as your butler means he never treats you quite like everyone else.
