Ethan arrived at the college.
"Where are we going?" Kai asked.
Miles replied casually, "Ethan said he's picking us up."
Kai frowned. "But why? College isn't off."
"It's okay to skip class today," Miles said, trying to keep his tone light. "Let's go."
Ethan stood beside the car as Kai and Miles walked toward him. Suddenly, Rico appeared in front of them.
"Finally, I found you, my honey," Rico said with a smirk. He grabbed Kai's wrist. "Let's go."
Ethan's expression turned cold with fury. He stepped forward, grabbed Kai's other hand, and said through clenched teeth, "You again, Rico?"
"Hey Ethan, stay out of this," Rico sneered. "It's none of your business."
Ethan tried to restrain himself. Kai pulled his hands free and stepped back.
"Let me go," Kai said softly. Then he walked a few steps away, trembling.
"Kai! What are you doing?" Rico called after him. "Let's go."
He reached for Kai again, but Kai pushed him away. His eyes were filled with tears.
