The Prodigy Boy Is Actually A 25 Old Girl!?

Chapter 112 - Ch. 112 I Am Innocent!

Knock! Knock!

Kaylee heard a knock on the door and got up from her comfortable position. She opened her bedroom door only to see a huge grin plastered on Nick's face.

"Wow. I thought I was mirroring myself," commented Kaylee, earning playful raising eyebrows from the young man.

"Are you coming?"

"I wanted to come, but..." she doubted if Jacob would want to see her.

But Jacob never stopped her from coming, and she was sure that Declan would come to see Letti sing.

She wanted to come over to resolve her guilt for Jacob, but she didn't want to witness Declan's adoration gaze who admired a girl other than her.

What should she do?

"I'm coming with you." Kaylee decided to come. Besides, she needs to face both of them sooner or later.

Kaylee quickly dressed up in casual clothes as if she were going to watch a festival. They invited Wendy too, but the girl wasn't interested and wanted to spend the weekend resting.

Plus, Wendy had to help Kaylee to replace Roe in dealing with some of their clients. Wendy took this advantage of her peaceful time as long as she could before facing the hectic schedule week.

As soon as they arrived at M University, Nick was surprised by the horde of people who almost filled the entire main hall building!

"Is Saturday usually this full?" Nick asked Kaylee.

"Not really. What do you expect? Today is a match between the prodigy boy and the so-called famous rock band. Plus, the main field on this campus is majoring in music. Of course, this music battle event will unquestionably attract other's attention."

Kaylee noticed that many students from other campuses came to see this music battle event.

"Is this place always having music battles?"

"No. Music battles only exist when one student challenges other majors' student."

"And today's music battle exists because..."

"... you are the one to challenge the other party."

Nick's lips curled sideways as he was satisfied to hear this. "You did great. Thanks."

Kaylee rolled her eyes lazily while walking towards the place where her friends were waiting for Nick. As soon as they arrived at the back of the building where the waiting room was, Kaylee's steps stopped.

Nick stopped as well the moment he realized Kaylee wasn't following him anymore.

"Why are we stopping?"

"Just go inside, and you will see the others." Kaylee doubted herself to look for Jacob. What if the young man didn't want to see her? Her heart would be broken twice in this week. "I think… I'll be back…."

Kaylee did not continue her sentence when the door near them opened, and the chattering Jacob and Adam walked out of the building.

Kaylee felt her heart stopped because she was still not ready to meet Jacob.

What's more, the cheerful chatter of the two friends stopped as soon as Jacob noticed her presence.

"Hey, Nick. You just came. We've checked the sound of our instrument. You're the last one."

Nick grinned at his friend, "I'm sure I won't complain about my guitar sound."

"Tch! How confident you are. By the way, who is this?"

"My sister."

"Yeah, right. I already know your sister."

"She is. Well, technically, she's not, but she's my sister's best friend. You can say that she is like my second sister."

"Ah, I see. Hi, second sister, my name's Adam."

Kaylee smiled faintly at his greeting and welcomed Adam's friendly handshake. Then she glanced nervously at Jacob. She was worried that the young man would be cold to her and…

Wait a minute. Why was Jacob smiling at her instead?

The same smile as she remembered. The young man's smile was like the sun that had just risen from the eastern horizon giving light and warmth to this world.

"Hi, Jack. Long time no see."

"Hm. How are you?"

"Hold on, you have met before?" protested Adam felt he had been left behind.

"Yeah, I had a crush on her, but she's engaged to someone else." came the reply in an indifferent tone as if the engagement news gave no effect on him.

"Ouch. Seriously?"

"And yet she gave me some hope. Isn't that right, miss?"

Kaylee felt her heart stabbed by a sharp weapon seeing those menacing looks. She couldn't understand what Jacob was thinking. The young man gave her a soft, gentle smile, but the next second… he changed.

Kaylee could not help but feel embarrassed, especially now that she is Kaylee. Adam's strange look at knowing she had given Jacob hope even though she was engaged did not help her at all.

In the end, Kaylee decided to go and run away.

Jacob just realized his mistake and was about to chase her when Nick's hand pressed on his chest with firm pressure.

"I don't like you talk to her like that."

"It's all your fault, remember?"

"..." What?

"Don't pretend you know nothing. I won't get this frustrated if you don't encourage me in the first place."

Nick: But, I am innocent!!

What the hell he got himself into? Pondered Nick at himself. 

Kaylee, what kind of problem you had created!?

Jacob warded Nick's hand roughly and dashed after Kaylee leaving the clueless Adam and Nick.

Yup. Nick was as clueless as Adam, and he felt he was a scapegoat for Kaylee's wrongdoing.

"What happened between them?"

"Trust me. I'm as confused as you are."

"Really? I thought it had something to do with your cold war."

"What cold war?"

"You fought with Jacob and didn't talk for two days, remember?"

"I did? Oh, yeah, I did." No, he didn't.

Ugh! Nick felt regretful that he had agreed to Kaylee's request to replace her in the music battle. He didn't want someone to ruin his 'baby' masterpiece, but he didn't want to get into complicated situations like this.

"Can you sound-check it for me?" Nick removed the guitar bag from his back before handing it to Adam. "I will catch up with them."

After all, Kaylee is his beloved sister. He doesn't like to see people make his sister cry.

No one could notice it, but Nick realized Kaylee's eyes already glistened, and her hands tremble like she was frightened. There was no way he would leave her alone with that rude Jacob.

Adam exhaled a long heavy sigh when he saw Nick's back had disappeared from his sight.

"Oh, come on. Not today, please!"

Adam didn't care if his two friends fought until there was a furor. But at least both of them got their sanity back for this music battle.. Otherwise, they would be a laughing stock.
