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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqPeipokKf
"Hello, Auntie," Inn greeted her respectfully, offering a polite Wai.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqgHOXATgS
She waved her hand dismissively, a smile gracing her lips, "You boys make yourselves at home."
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ907Zw5qOkC
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IhlQZX40H
"Do you play the guitar, Foze?" Inn asked, his eyes lingering on the beautiful instruments.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMmnJaoui1
"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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYNNzDlNI1
"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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzUSu7Z1TJ
"Sure, I can."
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0F1cnTg5L
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVSCtVQNrJ
"You also sing very well, Inn,"
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JpCkYCRG9
Foze complimented, mirroring Inn's earlier praise. Inn grinned widely, feeling a wave of delight washing over him.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWGel4I8mJ
"How about we record ourselves playing and singing, then post it on social media?" He suggested, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8evXdzLzBZ
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfkioeeGJd
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAARUxpoGN
"Are you ready for this?" Inn asked, casting a glance at Foze.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxP2Urkqwc
"As ready as I can be," Foze replied, clutching his guitar like a lifeline.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNXJ7Fznwo
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,
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3bD6IC3eB
"Impressive. We'll be in touch."
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU1EpJH3x5
As they exited the club, Inn's mind was churning. "Hey Foze, I was thinking we should visit the Judo practice room," he suggested. 250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XBuHD1GGg
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxTRlgLStT
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGW59te4LG
"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."
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi5Thbjizn
"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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGX8ii0hG6
"Hold it, where do you think you're going?" One of them sneered, blocking their path. Inn's patience was wearing thin.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBjS0DPuf9
"What are you doing? Leave us alone. It was just an accident."
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg4TDhw9sg
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdF5GhUMPv
"What's happening here?" Pathn's voice was level but held an icy undertone that made the senior's group waver.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxuXYJ3F3H
"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,
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2lEOeWICT
"Is this true?"
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeLHlyjyo7
"No, it wasn't intentional. We were just trying to pass by," Inn quickly explained. Pathn's steely gaze returned to the senior.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRfNswQsrH
"You heard them. Now, back off."
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMaTFwdtHo
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kNZZvHXr2
"Thanks, P'Pathn," Inn said, still feeling his heart race.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvxNtqL4y6
Pathn shrugged. "No problem. Just be careful. There are always people looking to start trouble."
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ItS3DLV51
Inn nodded, thankful for Pathn's help. Summoning his courage, he confessed,
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX17b7gbGqM
"Actually, I came to see you, P'Pathn." Pathn looked at him surprised. "P'Nok told me where to find you."
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPsErA60tq
Pathn nodded understandingly, "I see. I apologize for not being in touch. My classwork and Judo practice have kept me busy."
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmsdaLZXh9
"It's okay, P'Pathn. I understand you're busy," Inn replied, appreciating Pathn's honesty.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEy8JpZryL
Pathn offered a small smile, "I'll make sure to contact you sometime."
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQJS0EYIhG
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.
