Chapter 137 - Ch. 137 Roasted Corn

Kaylee, along with Jacob and Letti were too excited to rearrange their three songs under the direction of their tutor. To make it merrier, Kaylee considered adding the fourth song that made Adam and Fritz shiver in horror. On the other hand, Jacob and Letti totally agreed with Kaylee's suggestion.

Adam and Fritz knew nothing about jazz music or how to rearrange the music. All they do is listen to the song they have chosen over and over again to make their minds and fingers familiar with the chords of the song.

Regarding re-arrangements or additional ornaments and other variations, the two could only surrender and let their music group leader manage it.

Without realizing it, dinner time arrived, and they all returned to the dining hall in the central cottage of the meeting point. They all lined up again to queue for their food.

As the night progressed, the air temperature around them was getting colder, so they highly coveted warm food menus such as corn soup and grilled chicken.

After that, they had two-hour friendly music playing session together. They exchanged experiences, and Kaylee made many new friends from the senior class and piano section.

Some of them were stingy with their valuable learning and only want to receive knowledge from Kaylee, but some share their expertise with Kaylee that Kaylee has never thought of.

Whatever it is, Kaylee is not stingy in sharing her experience of playing music, no matter whether she gets the repayment from her new friend or not.

Seeing how big-hearted and sincere their music team leader was, Jacob and the others even more adored at the girl in disguise. They felt proud to be in the same team as the most humble person in the world.

After the music playing session was over, they gathered around a big bonfire in the middle of the open field. They sat on a tree that had been cut down and arranged around a bonfire.

Their bodies became warm even though the temperature in their air was getting colder thanks to the bonfire. The last event for the first day was closed with a bonfire where all the groups shared stories or sang together until they fell asleep.

The cottage keeper also provided warm roasted corn for those who were still hungry because the air temperature was freezing.

Most of the freshmen have never eaten roasted corn without being shaved first. It was unique and made them all want to try it. Moreover, the seniors arouse their appetite by saying grilled corn was particularly tasty when eaten at night with cold weather like this.

Kaylee also ate it when she attended a music camp program years ago, and she remarkably liked it. She tried to find the same roasted corn in New York, but there was nothing like the one at music camp.

For some reason, M university has established a tradition of eating roasted corn by the fire every time a winter music camp was held. However, roasted corn was never in the summer music camp because, well… the weather in summer was not as cold as it was in the winter season.

"Wow… This corn is heavenly. I've never had a night snack this good." announced Adam while gnawing at the roasted corn that the corn burner had just finished.

"Is it that delicious?" inquired Letti intriguingly. "But the way to eat it is a bit…" Letti felt embarrassed if she had to eat corn by gnawing it directly with her teeth instead of using utensils.

"Don't worry about your image. Everyone does it too." Jacob persuaded while pointing at the senior girls in front of them.

Letti's mouth was wide open when she saw that her female seniors didn't care about their image at all and devoured the roasted corn in their hands so deliciously.

Letti noticed her classmates were hesitant to order grilled corn, but she could almost see saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths whenever they saw the seniors gnawing at the corn.

In the end, one of Letti's friends named Selena, walked up to Letti.

"Letti, aren't you eager to eat grilled corn?"

"Ha?"

"If you eat it, I will eat too," Selena said, making Letti speechless. "That way, I won't feel embarrassed, and you won't have to be embarrassed either!" Selena continued making Letti blush.

This friend of hers… really dig a grave for her in front of her male friends! She wanted to crawl under a tunnel and hide for as long as she could.

"What is there to be ashamed of? I don't think there's anything shameful about eating grilled corn." Jacob said it casually and got to his feet. "I heard there are three different flavors. Sweet, salty, and spicy. Which one do you want?" Jacob asked the last question to Letti as if he felt sure the girl would answer his question.

Letti blinked her eyes in confusion and blurted the answer unconsciously, "I like spicy food."

"And you?" offered Jacob at Selena, making the girl blushed because it was the first time a handsome boy talked to her.

"I like sweet."

Jacob nodded in understanding and walked towards where the roasted corn was, while Kaylee and her friends started singing along to the group nearby while clapping their hands to the beat of the music.

The friendly atmosphere between them was getting more energetic, and the seniors and juniors who previously never talked or met now recognize each other and talk.

Not long after, Jacob arrived with four roasted corns, with each hand carrying two. He had two sweet roasted corns in his left hand, while in his right hand, he brought two spicy flavors.

After giving Letti the spicy one and her friend the sweet one, Jacob gave Kaylee the sweet roasted corn, and he ate the last one.

Kaylee accepted the grilled corn happily and quickly devoured it with joy.

"Hm… So yummy!" Kaylee remarked with a delicious sigh as if she was enjoying the most delicious food in the world. "How did you know I like sweet tastes?"

"Aren't you a sweet tooth?"

Kaylee giggled lightly and gnawed her roasted corn again while singing along with her friends.
