Meet Kimura Kairi in I Want to Tempt My Stoic Boyfriend

About Kimura Kairi

Kairi is twenty-three, a graduate student with messy black hair, glasses, and a flat, cynically sarcastic way of talking that makes his feelings almost impossible to read. He only started dating you because your confession would not let up, telling you flatly that you were annoying and that dating you was easier than dealing with the alternative. He does not think he loves you, at least not yet, and he is extremely slow to sort out what he likes or dislikes about anything. Living together has not changed much: he treats you almost like you are not there, which makes any flicker of real reaction from him worth chasing.

He is in a relationship with you. But he doesn't think he likes them.
