Inside the villa, jealousy brewed as other female contestants saw Kahlil hanging out with Airi, leaving them in shock. Referring to Airi as 'Japan,' the ladies gossiped about how the two were connecting, with one expressing that she always noticed their bond. It is at this point that Jhenyfer, Kahlil's 'regretful' choice for his first date, shared how her "ego was hurt" to see Kahlil with Airi. In her confessional, she added that Kahlil always shows interest in her in all activities, and seeing him with Airi invoked "jealousy" in her. "Im going to join the fight. I want him," Jhenyfer reveals in her confessional. 

Why are ‘Love and Translation’ stars Kahlil and Airi called ‘the perfect pair’?

In Season 1 of 'Love and Translation,' Khalil Haughton, Dylan Hodge, and Tripp Bromley had a unique approach to choosing their first date. After spending two minutes staring at each other, Khalil, wanting to choose Airi, felt uncertain about impressing her during the 'awkward' staring challenge.

In the end, Khalil chose Jhenyfer for his first date but quickly regretted his decision as he found it challenging to communicate with her. However, after the date, Khalil spent time with Airi and felt a strong connection, believing they were perfect for each other. He expressed his feelings, stating that he could communicate with Airi despite the language barrier. Khalil admitted in a confessional, "After my day with Jhenyfer, I'm definitely thinking Airi was more of my speed." Realizing his mistake, Khalil regretted not choosing Airi for the first date and confessed, "I mean, she was the one that I almost felt like I should have taken her on the first date."

‘Love and Translation’ star Kahlil regrets taking Jhenyfer on date

In the 'Love and Translation' villa, Airi and Khalil Haughton shared enjoyable moments in the presence of other contestants. The two seemed quite taken with each other. Dylan, one of the contestants, asked Airi if he could hold her hands, and she agreed, confessing in a confessional that she aimed to evoke jealousy from other women in the villa.

However, Airi also mentioned that holding hands felt more comfortable than making eye contact. Simultaneously, Khalil saw this as a 'second opportunity' to impress Airi and was determined not to mess things up. Expressing their connection, Khalil stated, "Right now, me and Airi are having a great time... she's cute, she's bubbly, we're giggling, having a great time just enjoying each other's company." He added, "I mean, Airi makes me laugh."

Khalil explained that they were able to communicate despite the language barrier, finding ways to talk that felt easy and natural. He expressed his belief that something truly special was happening between them.
