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?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0C50nObWg
Inn responded, his eyes meeting Foze's in mutual understanding and excitement.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxo6WXV31q
"Yeah, it's both of us, Foze and I," Inn confirmed, his voice filled with hope.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFzvI5ebTs
"We're in? Really? Yes! Thank you so much!"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZhZk6sJ8r
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7W1Nravbw
"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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LUR6EqAgT
"You guys got into the music club? That's huge!"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpOm6R2gV9
Inn nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, P'Jap. It's super cool!"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EEjnibBIl
Jap's eyebrows raised in impressed surprise,
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gb4cAU5yF
"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!”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNRdJrVjG1
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZNRbbc1E5
"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."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHgGDuIOkZ
Inn laughed and brushed off the compliment, "It's not like that, P'Jap. I'm just...me, still Inn."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTAwbXevCe
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."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOB9mFNOmj
The thought hadn't occurred to Inn before. He fell quiet, thoughtful for a moment before responding with a determined look,
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM5iA9ysWG
"Don't worry P'Jap, we'll still find the time to play basketball with you." Foze nodded in agreement.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw01oWBNhe
"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!!"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshPyalpe23
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQNYgKMSlz
"Looks like we're going to have to find a lot more time for practice,"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T3S7IlrB8
Inn whispered to his friend thoughtfully, glancing around at the buzzing club room. Foze nodded, replying in a hushed tone, "Looks like it."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrunhsSUyS5
Inn, however, wasn't fazed. He flashed a radiant, charming smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1zDhcaaJA
"That's alright, I love practicing. Besides, it'll be fun practicing with you." The sentiment was returned with a shy smile from Foze.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucLAgKXTr1
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w3rBlwdLj
"That's P'Pathn, isn't it?" Foze queried, following Inn's gaze.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RqU8SSaoX
"Yeah, I think so," Inn confirmed, his gaze now fixed on the senior. "Let's go greet him.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngiLCiGZp3
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwsG8GRcr1
"Hi, Nong-Inn. How are you doing?" Pathn asked, making small talk as his friend quietly observed the newcomers.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCEYWBeu2J
"We're doing great, P'Pathn," Inn replied, Foze nodding along. "Just finished our first meeting with the music club."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdVVZwlcLv
"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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6tOthqvYj
"That's cool, congrats."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yyP0498mS
"Thank you, P'Pathn," Inn said, a playful, proud smile lighting up his features. "And also, thank you for helping us the other day.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW5AB973ST
Inn referred to an incident when Pathn had stepped in to prevent some seniors from harassing them.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4yhM7sjXA
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeKGwsDkpg
"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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOlwl5un6H
“By the way, this is my friend, Ton.” he introduced, as Ton offered a friendly smile.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn975KvnOr
"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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLMeqa7fy5
"We should get going now, P'Pathn. See you around," Inn said, his signature smile beaming brightly.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCHMJ5Y6LC
"Sure, see you guys,”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8mW3mE13N
Pathn responded in his typically reserved manner, yet not unfriendly. As Inn and Foze walked away, Ton turned to Pathn.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiSElvS4vc
"So, that's Nong-Inn, your mentee, right?"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDxtpLSZrR
"Yes, he is,” Pathn confirmed, a hint of curiosity coloring his voice.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabSXmHBMUB
Ton leaned back, his eyes thoughtfully trailing after the juniors. "He seems friendly, pure, and nice."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSDhStVluz
"I suppose so," Pathn agreed, nodding slowly. Ton grinned, nudging Pathn playfully.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYAVJzNJ5M
"Take good care of him, Mr. Senior Mentor. That junior seems to be something special."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7eZXntJau
Pathn simply looked at him, his expression a curious blend of bemusement and contemplation.
