At New York airport, five young teenage boys emerged from the arrival gate. Even though they had just been enduring a hectic and energy-draining schedule, the five young people still looked energetic and pulled each other''s leg.
"Hey, Nick. What are you going to do during this vacation?" one of the young men asked his brte-haired bandmate.
"I will spend my time with the two most beautiful girls in the world."
The fourughed at this because they knew who the two girls were. They must be Wendy Larson and Kaylee Zouch.
It''s no secret that Nichs Larson especially loves his two older sisters. And the reason their manager was willing to give them a month off until the new year came was because of Nick''s request.
A few months ago, Nick asked his manager to give their band a month off in December. The manager granted it on the condition that the Adam''s held a concert every week and created a new song every two weeks.
Nick and his friends struggled to get their vacation, and now, their music album position was at number one.
"I didn''t think that our efforts to get a vacation would be number one trending globally." said one member of Adam''s
"Right. It''s all thanks to Nick."
Nichs chuckled with amusement as he shook his head. "It''s all thanks to the efforts of all of us." he corrected his friend''s remark.
"Hey, isn''t that your sister?"
Nichs turned to the pickers and instantly caught sight of a woman wearing sunsses and a hat over her face. Seeing his sister''s weird appearance made Nick roll his eyes.
What''s the point of putting a disguise if everyone recognizes Wendy Larson in the end?
"See you next year!"
Nichs walked over to his sister with the guitar bag slung over his back.
"What are you doing? Why are you looking like this?"
"Why? It''s a winter session." Wendy nced at her appearance and felt sure that none of her looks was strange. Unless the unmatched winter boot she is wearing.
She wore winter boots in a different mode and different colors. The one was ck while thetter was dark brown.
"What happened?" Nichs doesn''t need to ask about his sister''s unsightly weird fashion. He knew that something must have happened that made Wendy panic if there was a mismatch attire on his sister.
"Nothing serious."
"Oh,e on."
"It''s Kaylee. She fell, and her hand was swollen. So I had to rece her for a while and tell sir Avan. He gave me an earful scolding making my ears hurt. It''s not my fault Kaylee fell down the stairs, but he used me. What is the connection between me being Kaylee''s best friend and she fell? Wait. Is it true that we are a bad influence on Kaylee?"
"No. But you are." was the younger brother''s short reply before walking ahead while whistling happily, leaving his older sister gasped in disbelieve.
''What an ungrateful brother!''
"So is she all right?" Nick asked when the two of them had climbed into Wendy''s car.
Nick did not feel tired even though he had had a long journey, so he sat in the driver''s seat to drive his sister''s car.
"She said she was fine, and now she''s at Den''s house."
"…"
Wendy nced at her brother with a probing gaze and did not find a change in expression on the young man''s face.
"I said, she is in her fiancé''s house," repeated Wendy to provoke his indifferent attitude.
"So?"
"Wow, did you finally… move on?"
"What do you mean I move on? I never had a broken heart in the first ce."
"Yeah, yeah. Suit yourself. Anyway, tomorrow and the day after, you will take Kaylee''s ce and go to campus."
"What!? Hell, no! Ouch…" Nick grimaced when Wendy twisted his ear, causing his head to tilt to the side. "I''m driving. I''m driving! You will kill us both!" protested Nick while trying to maintain his steer.
Wendy let go of his ear and let Nick regained control of the steering wheel.
"Her hands are swollen, and you promised to appear in the music battle in her ce. Tomorrow is thest practice. At least you have to show up to get used to the way you y with your group."
Nick stroked his ear, which was hot due to his sister''s death twisting. "But I barely know no one."
"Kaylee has prepared everything."
Nick raised an eyebrow, then sighed in resignation.
Arriving at their house, Wendy gave some photos of Kaylee''s friends on campus to her brother.
Nick had seen Jacob when Wendy shocked him with a sudden video call with Jacob''s face on the screen. But he had never met the young man in person. Then Wendy told him the names that would y into the band''s music.
To be honest, Nichs had no interest in ying in the music battle, let alone seeing the faces of the kids who didn''t seem very good at their instruments.
He was used to the Adam''s and felt pessimistic about ying with these kids.
"I know what you are thinking."
"What?"
"You underestimate their abilities." her guess was right on. "Kaylee has taught them, and I''m pretty sure you will like them."
Nichs shed a wide grin to hear her announcement. "Did she now? I''m looking forward to it."
"Good. Now, as much as possible, stay away from other buildings. Especially from the piano ss department. "
"Why?"
"…"
Nichs was still waiting patiently for an answer from his sister. Now he is so curious about what is in piano ss that it leaves his sister speechless.
Skillfully, Nichs put on his puppy eyes to hope that his sister would soon enlighten his curiosity.
Unfortunately for him, it wasn''t the answer he got, but a hard flick on his forehead.
"Don''t make that look on me. I am your sister." Wendy shoved all the music book and audio recording to her brother.
Nichs snorted because he failed to seduce his sister. His puppy eyes always work on any older girl, including Kaylee. Except for his sister, of course.
When he opened one of the music books he was carrying; his expression suddenly turned horror as if he saw a ghost.
"Sis! I cannot read!"
"Then just listen to the recording."
The younger brother''s jaw fell in disbelieve. Then why did his sister give him so many music books?
''What an unreasonable sister!''
