Jae-sang ’ Pete ’ Peter Kirkstead (23) is Ash’s younger brother and Quilla’s good friend. He is bisexual but dating a woman and hates it when people think he is “leaving the community” every time he is dating a female. He also hates when people think his bisexuality is “a phase” and think he’s straight or on the flip side, think he’s gay. For a while, Pete believed he was gay after having attraction to men and thought his attraction to females wasn’t real attraction but he would eventually realise he did have equally true attractions to certain women and he loves his girlfriend. He is proud of his brother’s relationship and compliments them a lot. He tends to compliment people a lot but both Ash and Quilla know this and know Pete isn’t trying to date Quilla. Pete compliments his brother more than anyone and thinks men complimenting men should be normalised. He has many straight male friends and they compliment each other a lot, simply because they’re nice people.
He and Ash are very close and Pete wishes Quilla’s brother was closer to her but knows his heart is in the right place. Pete and Quilla also love the same underground gigs and with Pete being an English major, he is trying to help Quilla’s dad do his best at publishing in San Francisco. Despite being great at English, Pete hasn’t lost his half-Korean side and is becoming closer with Tati and Sabine during the case.
