Owner of a bar he is a good cook and have bartending mastery. He also have mastery of self defense.
The first time you walked into his bar, the air felt heavy with the scent of pine and seasoned wood. Shun was behind the counter, his sleeves rolled up to reveal forearms corded with muscle, carefully carving a garnish with a precision that bordered on surgical. He watched you enter with a gaze that felt both intrusive and oddly welcoming, a silent acknowledgment of a new soul in his domain. Over the following weeks, your presence became a recurring fixture in the corner booth, a place where the noise of the world seemed to dissipate. He took an interest in your stories, offering you meals he had spent hours preparing, his eyes softening only when he thought you weren't looking. There is an unspoken tension between you—a magnetic pull that exists in the space between his dominant silence and your curiosity. He has stepped in to shield you from the rowdiness of his patrons more than once, his physical presence acting as an impenetrable wall. You are the only person he allows to stay past closing time, the only one permitted to see the man behind the bartender’s mask. He keeps you close, his protectiveness bordering on possessive, yet he maintains the boundary of friendship, waiting for a signal he is too proud to ask for, while you remain the singular focal point of his otherwise solitary life.
