The hot midday sun cast long shadows across the school's outdoor basketball court, where Inn and Foze were idly passing the time, waiting for their team's turn in a lunch break basketball match. Inn's phone broke the silence with an incoming call, and he quickly picked it up.

"Yes, yes, it's Inn. Oh, you're from the music club, right?”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZbFEedL0R
Inn responded, his eyes meeting Foze's in mutual understanding and excitement.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0XUJQiDgf
"Yeah, it's both of us, Foze and I," Inn confirmed, his voice filled with hope.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0gQo8LJ63
"We're in? Really? Yes! Thank you so much!"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4U3cPQiPu
The joy in his voice was palpable as he ended the call, Inn's face lit up with pure joy as he shook Foze's hand vigorously. Foze, despite his shy demeanor, couldn't hide the happiness from his eyes. Jap, Foze's senior mentor, strolled over to the duo, curiosity piqued at their sudden elation.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxCCG3T8Lx
"What's happening, boys?" Jap asked, looking surprised. As Inn and Foze explained their acceptance into the prestigious music club, a look of understanding dawned on Jap's face.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRp9H4rjgt
"You guys got into the music club? That's huge!"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1lO9HfoP6
Inn nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, P'Jap. It's super cool!"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kcoref3lk
Jap's eyebrows raised in impressed surprise,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR4ZZ8BckQ
"That is cool. It's tough to get into that club with so many students so many students want to be a part of it. You two must be really talented. Congrats!”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DBMXFMj5e
Jap added with a sincere smile. Inn thanked Jap, his gratitude clear in his eyes. Foze just nodded, his actions speaking louder than his words.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RA264t4eu
"Well, Inn," Jap chuckled lightly, teasing him. "You're getting more famous by the minute! Handsome, athletic, and now a musician in the music club. I better ask for your autograph now before you become a superstar."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwkZle3qQV
Inn laughed and brushed off the compliment, "It's not like that, P'Jap. I'm just...me, still Inn."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2hQPYuB0V
Jap grinned, "Alright, I'm just teasing you. But seriously, you might get busier with the club activities and we might have less time for these lunch break matches."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx7tKXjQzb
The thought hadn't occurred to Inn before. He fell quiet, thoughtful for a moment before responding with a determined look,
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg15g2B7KCc
"Don't worry P'Jap, we'll still find the time to play basketball with you." Foze nodded in agreement.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2cnnZqs13
"Alright, famous boys," Jap said, a playful glint in his eyes, "For now, it's our turn on the court. Let's show them what we've got!!"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mZg4zkuaq
His words echoed in the open air, setting a spark of excitement as they all walked towards the match.

As Inn and Foze stepped into the music club for the first session, they could feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. The club room was alive with music and chatter, with seniors and club members huddled together discussing the upcoming events. The biggest of them all was 'All Activity Day'. Every member of the club had a role to play, with special assignments to prepare the show. The thought of these tasks filled the newcomers with both anticipation and a hint of apprehension.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k0BKJHFN4
"Looks like we're going to have to find a lot more time for practice,"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI71LD5opN
Inn whispered to his friend thoughtfully, glancing around at the buzzing club room. Foze nodded, replying in a hushed tone, "Looks like it."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO6qk1XmpQ
Inn, however, wasn't fazed. He flashed a radiant, charming smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsOkiToMYq
"That's alright, I love practicing. Besides, it'll be fun practicing with you." The sentiment was returned with a shy smile from Foze.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCCv6MsmnB
As the club meeting wrapped up, Inn and Foze strolled out into the hallway, their conversation now turning to the upcoming musical journey. They made their way towards the canteen, a casual aura around them. It was then that Inn spotted a familiar figure. Sitting at a table along the hallway was P'Pathn, a senior they held in high regard, along with another athletic-looking friend.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sScsO8kK9
"That's P'Pathn, isn't it?" Foze queried, following Inn's gaze.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHvJzvldJM
"Yeah, I think so," Inn confirmed, his gaze now fixed on the senior. "Let's go greet him.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYFED4kVtY
They approached the seniors, Inn leading with a confident stride. "Hello, P'Pathn," Inn greeted, his radiant smile shining as brightly as ever. Pathn looked up from his textbook, a touch of surprise in his eyes before recognition dawned.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYjzY9V4Wl
"Hi, Nong-Inn. How are you doing?" Pathn asked, making small talk as his friend quietly observed the newcomers.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5juhC5gvMH
"We're doing great, P'Pathn," Inn replied, Foze nodding along. "Just finished our first meeting with the music club."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWfgGL4qJ5
"Music club?" Pathn echoed, interest piqued. "So you guys are in the music club now?" Inn and Foze nodded in affirmation. Despite his quiet demeanor, Pathn couldn't hide his admiration.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxSI1LP2V3
"That's cool, congrats."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix0HCvX8oY
"Thank you, P'Pathn," Inn said, a playful, proud smile lighting up his features. "And also, thank you for helping us the other day.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QP9uwT3KV
Inn referred to an incident when Pathn had stepped in to prevent some seniors from harassing them.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp2m75H2Xw
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpRtzbjrrl
"That's alright, Nong-Inn, don't worry about it,” Pathn brushed it off with a wave of his hand, his focus turning to his friend.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts4Gl8TadB
“By the way, this is my friend, Ton.” he introduced, as Ton offered a friendly smile.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5hDRv7duY
"Hi, P'Ton," Inn and Foze greeted in unison, receiving a warm smile in return. After exchanging a few more words, Inn decided it was time to go, not wanting to take up too much of the seniors' time.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpPYxswTnR
"We should get going now, P'Pathn. See you around," Inn said, his signature smile beaming brightly.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9VFvX2Pi4
"Sure, see you guys,”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3TjeRycT9
Pathn responded in his typically reserved manner, yet not unfriendly. As Inn and Foze walked away, Ton turned to Pathn.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2Pz8q9iV5
"So, that's Nong-Inn, your mentee, right?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZcRkkyOOx
"Yes, he is,” Pathn confirmed, a hint of curiosity coloring his voice.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuinfnqphUj
Ton leaned back, his eyes thoughtfully trailing after the juniors. "He seems friendly, pure, and nice."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCIiR3sv3y
"I suppose so," Pathn agreed, nodding slowly. Ton grinned, nudging Pathn playfully.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqFgeIcdnN
"Take good care of him, Mr. Senior Mentor. That junior seems to be something special."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ifbD0RIz2
Pathn simply looked at him, his expression a curious blend of bemusement and contemplation.
