Gino whistles the moment he steps inside Lewey's flat. Back in Mainland City, he lives in an expensive bachelor's pad with his bandmates, but this one cannot compare.
"I can live here forever," Gino murmurs.
Lewey, who heard it, rose a brow as he snapped out. "You must be dreaming."
"Hey! You should treat me well!" Jino smirks, and his face shows a hidden intention.
Lewey, who understood it, frowned at Jino and said, "We're not friends, to begin with. So you cannot stay at my house for a longer time. Besides, there's only one person I want to bring to this house."
Jino widened his eyes upon hearing Lewey state this. He grinned, then uttered, "Don't tell me you are planning to bring Chelsca to this flat to sleep with her?"
"What?" Lewey blurted out. "Don't put a dirty meaning in my intention to Chelsca! I love her, and I want to bring her here as my wife!"
At first, Jino was awed, hearing Lewey had been honest about his feelings.
"Hmm. Are you that serious? Chelsca hates you. Besides, I am his fiancé." Jino smirks as he has a brilliant idea to take advantage of this guy. 'Hehe...'
"I know you are not. You are heartbroken; that's why you were here."
It surprised him how the guy knew about it, but Jino did not show any emotions but maintained his pretense. "Oh? What kind of information do you have? It's because everything is just a rumor."
"Huh. My source is legit, and I believe it." This time, it was Lewey who smirked for turning the table.
"So, what are you implying now?" It made Jino irritated because he didn't want to talk about it.
"That you can stop pretending as Chelsca's fiancé."
"Oh, do you—"
"If you wanted to stay at my home."
"Well, bro! You're the man!" Jino jumps to Lewey's side and puts his arm around Lewey's shoulder. "Do you want my help on how to court Chelsca?" He broadened his smile.
Lewey shook his head and said, frowning his face. "How could you sell her out like this?"
"Whoa! Aren't we on the same side? You need me if you want to win against Chelsca's fiancé!" he reasoned. On the back of Jino's head, he sniggers.
Lewey contemplated this. Jino is right. He needs someone close to Chelsca to know everything about her, especially her fiancé. He has no information about who that person is.
"So, if I let you stay in my flat, you will tell me everything about her arranged marriage and who this person is."
"Leave it to me! I know all the information!"
Chels, I'm sorry! I have no choice! I need to save myself! However, I prefer this guy to that bastard Albert. He is gay, and he will kick that man's butt for using Chelsca to hide his actual color. But for now, he will not reveal it to Chelsca. He will wait for the right moment.
"We will talk about it over dinner," Lewey said and dialed his butler's mobile number. "My butler is ordering our food now; what do you—"
Lewey turned around to ask Jino, but he disappeared. He realizes Jino will find out his secret!
Lewey runs to his music room, and now Jino grins at him and says...
"Are you in love with Chels, or were you in love with me?"
Lewey rolled his eyes and replied. "Stop your illusions! Why would I fall in love with you? What am I?"
Jino smirks; he points out the wall. "Oh. Then why does this room have my posters."
"Shut up! The readers might believe it! It was a poster for your band, The League! You are not alone!"
Jino twitching his mouth, he shrugs his shoulders. The music room has a complete musical instrument. It was more like a studio.
"Looks like I came to the right place," Jino hummed and picked up a guitar. He seated on the sofa and began strumming.
Lewey, still on the phone, told his butler to order anything for dinner. He ends the call and listens to Jino. The song is calm. It seems this one hasn't been released yet. He is curious, and so he asks the guy.
"Is that a new song?"
Jino replied, "Ah, not really. I composed it years back."
"Why didn't you release it?"
"I didn't find the right girl to sing with me."
"Hmm… intriguing."
***
Saturday morning, Lewey drove his sports car headed to Lisa's villa. Later, the other group members arrive, including Chelsca, that May Lin picked up, and their boyfriend, Sam.
It was Kyle who rang the doorbell. He drops his mouth when he recognizes the person who opens the door. "Holy sh*t!"
"Jino!!!"
"Hey, May Lin!"
"Oh, my gosh! Why are you here? Wait, I heard you are now going to Collins University!"
"Yup! And I heard there is a group study overnight. Looks fun, so I came along!" Jino replied to May Lin but winked at Chelsca, who was standing behind.
Chelsca throws a questioning stare at Jino. But she was only ignored by him. She can't believe it! It surprised her, and she wondered how this guy knew about it. But then she saw Lewey comfortably laid back on a lounge chair in the pool area, and Jino took the chair next to him!
'When do these two become friends???'
