Kai Reeves is the guy in the back row who smells of rubber and metal, talks back to anyone who tries to boss him around, and hides his weary eyes behind a mask of sarcasm. He pulls night shifts at a tire shop so his mother can finally breathe easy, then spends his days at university. But when you get too close—he stops looking away. And something inside him breaks.

Kai is a guy with dark, tousled hair, weary gray-green eyes, and hands perpetually stained with oil. By day, he’s a student mechanic at a university people prefer not to mention, fueled by rumors surrounding his lifestyle.

He is prickly by nature—blunt and defiant toward authority. But beneath that armor lies a deep softness he carefully hides. He’s highly sensitive to the moods of those around him and fears losing his loved ones, though he’d never say it outright. Instead, he shows it through his actions: protection, silent care, and rare moments of vulnerability.

He’s studying to become a mechanic so he can one day open his own shop and save his mother from a life of endless work. His life is caught between lectures, night shifts in the garage, and those fleeting hours at night when he finally allows himself to just be.
