As the final school bell rang out, signaling the end of another bustling day, Foze explained to Inn that his mother needed him home a bit earlier today. Thus, they decided to postpone their visit to the Judo team room. Instead, Foze suggested a detour to his own home, an offer to which Inn agreed without hesitation. Foze, a homebody by nature, had spent his entire life in this charming town cradled by the sea.

Upon arrival, they were greeted by Foze's mother, a kind-faced woman with a gentle smile that spoke of warm welcomes. Her hair was tucked neatly in a bun, her eyes twinkling with a warm maternal glow that was both comforting and inviting.

"Mom, this is Inn, my friend from school," Foze introduced Inn, his voice tinted with the slightest bit of nervousness.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw7aHDiTCs
"Hello, Auntie," Inn greeted her respectfully, offering a polite Wai.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DhBSpIMIH
She waved her hand dismissively, a smile gracing her lips, "You boys make yourselves at home."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzQ9KVqjks
They ventured into Foze's room, a small haven that felt distinctively personal. Inn's eyes immediately fell on the pair of guitars neatly propped up against the wall. His curiosity piqued.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekOZEKudpp
"Do you play the guitar, Foze?" Inn asked, his eyes lingering on the beautiful instruments.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMM98mFSHc
"Just a bit," Foze replied, a shy smile tugging at the corners of his lips. Yet, as he picked up one of the guitars and started playing, his modesty fell away. His fingers danced across the strings, coaxing a beautiful melody that spoke of years of practice and dedication.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YP3Kl4jqm
"That's really great," Inn commented, genuinely impressed. A thought sprung to his mind, "Can you play this song?" He suggested a popular tune, hoping Foze was familiar with it.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs4JIL6xia
"Sure, I can."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7qxzhRPJM
With those words, Foze began strumming the chords of the suggested song. As the music flowed, Inn began to sing along. His voice was deep and clear, filling the room with a captivating resonance that blended harmoniously with Foze's guitar. The song concluded with both boys sharing a moment of silent acknowledgment of their shared love for music.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTq5Ka5LnS
"You also sing very well, Inn,"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kIwrnsvof
Foze complimented, mirroring Inn's earlier praise. Inn grinned widely, feeling a wave of delight washing over him.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmaKOyD2XP
"How about we record ourselves playing and singing, then post it on social media?" He suggested, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVaHZKmKUn
Foze hesitated, unsure of the idea. Inn read his hesitation and reassured him, "Come on, just play as you usually do." Picking up his phone, he set it to record.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWtgToWl6z
And so they did, under the fading evening light streaming in through the window. Inn's cheerful face and Foze's concentrated expression harmonizing as much as their music did, their guitar-strumming and song-filled room framed perfectly against the serene backdrop of the beach town neighborhood. The magic of music, friendship, and shared passions breathed life into their humble setting, creating a moment they would not forget anytime soon.

One fine afternoon, the rhythm of the music club's heartbeat throbbed through the air. With the club's auditions approaching, a blend of excited chatter and fragments of tunes filled the atmosphere, each note carrying the palpable anticipation of the hopeful students. Foze and Inn, seated among the buzzing crowd, were waiting with anticipation, their hearts thrumming in sync with the pulsating beats of the room.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wLqc706fe
"Are you ready for this?" Inn asked, casting a glance at Foze.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUscV99K1e
"As ready as I can be," Foze replied, clutching his guitar like a lifeline.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZYHPUXLKE
Their turn came, and as Foze plucked the first chord, all eyes turned to them. The melody weaved through the air with Inn's voice accompanying it, like a beautiful dance of harmony. Their performance ended amidst a hushed silence, soon broken by the senior members' appraisal,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxunTN4gBoS
"Impressive. We'll be in touch."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHmiuUVDzz
As they exited the club, Inn's mind was churning. "Hey Foze, I was thinking we should visit the Judo practice room," he suggested. 191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP8p8wlwSp
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcuu5FlJ0U
Foze agreed, and they made their way to the gymnasium. As they chatted and laughed along the way, a sudden impact jostled them, bringing their mirth to an abrupt halt. It was the grumpy senior from their previous lunchtime match, a scowl as bitter as an unripe lime etched on his face.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGK60jhhhN
"Watch where you're going!" the senior barked, recognition flaring in his eyes as they landed on Inn and Foze. "If it isn't the pretty basketball boy."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0RTMa7mHq
"We're sorry," Inn quickly apologized, attempting to guide Foze away from the potential conflict. But the quartet of seniors encircled them, their intentions apparent.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzNZ4UQ8ZP
"Hold it, where do you think you're going?" One of them sneered, blocking their path. Inn's patience was wearing thin.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB9Jy4aMkc
"What are you doing? Leave us alone. It was just an accident."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlruDy6btA
Their taunts continued, growing louder and more malicious. Just as the situation began to spiral, a large shadow fell across the scene, halting the senior's torment. It was P'Pathn, his muscular frame imposing and his gaze commanding.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU21siBbvn
"What's happening here?" Pathn's voice was level but held an icy undertone that made the senior's group waver.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39M8x6YOta
"Back off, Pathn. These punks bumped into me, trying to start a fight," the senior tried to defend himself. Pathn's gaze locked onto Inn,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF5lAmOKi6
"Is this true?"
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE5NTyf9ck
"No, it wasn't intentional. We were just trying to pass by," Inn quickly explained. Pathn's steely gaze returned to the senior.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg2joV2ZRb
"You heard them. Now, back off."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY6EoXd3Dm
A moment of hesitation flickered across the senior's face, but his defiance quickly faltered under Pathn's unwavering stare. With a final huff, they slunk away, muttering disgruntled insults under their breath. A sigh of relief washed over Inn, and Foze flashed him an appreciative grin.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gy648FbEg
"Thanks, P'Pathn," Inn said, still feeling his heart race.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpdad4QCxq
Pathn shrugged. "No problem. Just be careful. There are always people looking to start trouble."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7A1qhV2Bn
Inn nodded, thankful for Pathn's help. Summoning his courage, he confessed,
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHQQ26jUnz
"Actually, I came to see you, P'Pathn." Pathn looked at him surprised. "P'Nok told me where to find you."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmGgbc85tT
Pathn nodded understandingly, "I see. I apologize for not being in touch. My classwork and Judo practice have kept me busy."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iBLUftltZ
"It's okay, P'Pathn. I understand you're busy," Inn replied, appreciating Pathn's honesty.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvivPZcdZO
Pathn offered a small smile, "I'll make sure to contact you sometime."
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvatXBenzE9
The late afternoon sun cast a golden glow over their conversation, marking the end of another day filled with music, encounters, and growth for Inn and Foze.
