In the meantime...


    Nichs Larson, as if in the real deal… walked through the gates of the campus with unexpectedly exciting steps and whistling merrily as if this was the most fabulous day in his life.


    How could he not?


    Nick was a carefree spirit and like an adventure in new ces. He could immediately adapt and know his ss''s location and the music room for his team to practice.


    Thankfully, today''s material schedule has nothing to do with reading musical notes, so Nick doesn''t have to worry about the fate of his college life.


    Nichs had memorized the names of his friends through some of the photos his sister gave him, and he immediately got to know one of Kaylee''s friends who was sitting on the bench reading a book.


    "Hi, Letti. What are you doing here?"


    Letti lifted her head to look at Nick and winced when she sensed something different from this idol campus. But she couldn''t pin her finger on it.


    "Are you feeling better? I heard you were sick yesterday, so you didn''te to practice."


    Ah, this girl must be talking about Kaylee, who fell down the stairs.


    "Yup. Better than ever."


    "Good for you." Letti cleared her books, and unexpectedly, a strong wind blows to make Letti''s musical notes soar.


    "Oh, no!" with frantic heart, Letti tried to catch the music papers and collect them back.


    Luckily Nick was also there and spontaneously helped her collect the paper that flew in all directions. All that remained was a paper that fell between the two of them, and both of them identally took the paper at the same time.


    Initially, Letti held the paper first without knowing Nick was also about to take the same paper, but the target swifted to Letti''s hand instead.


    As a flirtatious as he is, Nick did not instantly let go of his hand and enjoyed the warm, soft skin spread all over his palms.


    On the other hand, the clueless girl didn''t know what was going on, but she felt an electric jolt when the back of her hand was covered with something big and warm.


    Letti rapidly pulled her hand out of Nick''s grip, which was not too tight. When she found out that she still hadn''t picked up thest piece of paper that was still on the ground, Letti picked it up and got up.


    "Thanks for the help. See you in the music room." and just like that, Letti left the toothy grin guy.


    Letti wondered why her heart was pounding just because Nick identally grabbed her hand.


    She remembered when Nichs met her for the first time and shook hands as a sign that Letti agreed to help the music team; Letti felt nothing at all.


    The only man who ever grabbed her and carried her when she was a kid was her half-brother. And since she understood the meaning of love, Letti kept away from men and distancing herself froming into contact with men.


    It''s all because of Den. Her crazy brother constantly warned her that all men in this world (except Den, of course) are wolves in fleece. Den always reminded her that she shouldn''t trust any male friends, so Letti preferred to be friends with girls.


    But ever since she turned seventeen, Den has gotten less restrictive. In fact, that man no longer vilified male friends in the same ss as her.


    It seems that Den had loosened his overprotective and let Letti befriend whomever she wants. Of course, that was because Den had ced a spy in Letti''s ss without his sister knowing.


    That''s why Letti epted Nick''s request to sing on Nichs''s music team. She purposely didn''t tell Den that her band consisted of all the boys but didn''t expect her brother toe on their first day of practice.


    Fortunately, Den didn''t scold her and supported her desire to expand the reach of her friends.


    Letti kept walking without knowing Nichs''s intrigued eyes kept focusing on her back.


    "What are you doing down there?"


    Nichs lifted his head and saw Jacob standing there, frowning in confusion.


    Nichs shed a grin before rising to his feet and embracing Kaylee''s… er… his best friend''s shoulders in his own style.


    "Nothing."


    "Hm? Why do I feel that something is different from you?"


    "What?" Nick asked his friend back with an innocent look as if he didn''t know what Jacob was asking.


    "Never mind. Let''s go!" Jacob also put his arm around Nick''s shoulder, and somehow, the two of them immediately became close like ''the inseparable duo'' as they were. "You brought your guitar this time?" Jacob asked when he saw the hard-case guitar on Nick''s hand.


    "Yup. I figure out to take my real guitar to y."


    "Thanks, god." Jacob blurted excessively. "Finally, our team''s victory has been confirmed. I''m not quite sure we can win if you keep insisting on ying the acoustic guitar."


    Nick smiled broadly at that. Of course, he would never allow someone to ruin his song, let alone turn his ''baby'' into a source of defeat.


    ''Kaylee, I will show you the real Nicky of the Adams''


    Back to Den''s penthouse, Kaylee tried to find a way to escape from Den''s clutches. She tried her best to push Den''s body, but the man caught both of her hands and pinned them above her head without letting go of her lips.


    Kaylee felt helpless to ept his overwhelmed passion, and she could feel something hard poke in her lower belly. She didn''t even dare to imagine what was pressing down on her stomach.


    Her body shook with pleasure as she felt Den''s big hand move down and sliding along her arms until it reached her exposed delicate neck. The soft, light touch was like a lightning bolt to her soul. The hairs on her nape were rising, and her heart was leaping into her throat.


    When Den''s huge handnded right over one of her luscious mounds, her heart rate lost control, and she arched her back unconsciously as if wanting to seek ''something'' that could relieve her.


    "You''re wearing no bra," whispered the man above her lips with darkening eyes filled with lust.


    When Kaylee saw his unhidden lust in the man''s eyes, she knew she was doomed.
