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?”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR0AsBsUT3
Inn responded, his eyes meeting Foze's in mutual understanding and excitement.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOfRO6sMG2
"Yeah, it's both of us, Foze and I," Inn confirmed, his voice filled with hope.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQphm1kFiA
"We're in? Really? Yes! Thank you so much!"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLBYMw6N6x
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oxcrbOOXZ
"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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52DvGSynLl
"You guys got into the music club? That's huge!"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA6ZEzygrr
Inn nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, P'Jap. It's super cool!"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqneHXGZepD
Jap's eyebrows raised in impressed surprise,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9EuAFjCxO
"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!”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkiTlQplId
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zGLyRMuBF
"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."
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDY22hDct4
Inn laughed and brushed off the compliment, "It's not like that, P'Jap. I'm just...me, still Inn."
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt7IWGc7lu
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."
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEseelpp1wn
The thought hadn't occurred to Inn before. He fell quiet, thoughtful for a moment before responding with a determined look,
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjuWzyCcG0
"Don't worry P'Jap, we'll still find the time to play basketball with you." Foze nodded in agreement.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEL9HL6ePZ
"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!!"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctG3Vd7a8J
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuDoRh8MXG
"Looks like we're going to have to find a lot more time for practice,"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMI6EewVYI
Inn whispered to his friend thoughtfully, glancing around at the buzzing club room. Foze nodded, replying in a hushed tone, "Looks like it."
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKl7OOa9R9
Inn, however, wasn't fazed. He flashed a radiant, charming smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8GWbeIzwp
"That's alright, I love practicing. Besides, it'll be fun practicing with you." The sentiment was returned with a shy smile from Foze.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULzA5Pss1b
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSnJYlRZwj
"That's P'Pathn, isn't it?" Foze queried, following Inn's gaze.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd1YjryOWi
"Yeah, I think so," Inn confirmed, his gaze now fixed on the senior. "Let's go greet him.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V26rYcJ3h
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzVkGnuIQw
"Hi, Nong-Inn. How are you doing?" Pathn asked, making small talk as his friend quietly observed the newcomers.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbipoSt3S2
"We're doing great, P'Pathn," Inn replied, Foze nodding along. "Just finished our first meeting with the music club."
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhcaKMGO7m
"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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGDQ5ssU1a
"That's cool, congrats."
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQEInWlFAb
"Thank you, P'Pathn," Inn said, a playful, proud smile lighting up his features. "And also, thank you for helping us the other day.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzq5pqUoMM
Inn referred to an incident when Pathn had stepped in to prevent some seniors from harassing them.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMB5buceAK
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZluRikX8hA
"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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ttAqFu6nM
“By the way, this is my friend, Ton.” he introduced, as Ton offered a friendly smile.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3f2eTpg3o
"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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAtRvfdynf
"We should get going now, P'Pathn. See you around," Inn said, his signature smile beaming brightly.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E0RhG89u5
"Sure, see you guys,”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJsFXPnPU0
Pathn responded in his typically reserved manner, yet not unfriendly. As Inn and Foze walked away, Ton turned to Pathn.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKDUuNdW8d
"So, that's Nong-Inn, your mentee, right?"
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnavIrsaf1
"Yes, he is,” Pathn confirmed, a hint of curiosity coloring his voice.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKiDPODGuG
Ton leaned back, his eyes thoughtfully trailing after the juniors. "He seems friendly, pure, and nice."
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J9rswDwU1
"I suppose so," Pathn agreed, nodding slowly. Ton grinned, nudging Pathn playfully.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClhBwyvoxk
"Take good care of him, Mr. Senior Mentor. That junior seems to be something special."
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznx6YcLeO1
Pathn simply looked at him, his expression a curious blend of bemusement and contemplation.
