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.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnWlPJjSF7
"Yes, yes, it's Inn. Oh, you're from the music club, right?”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV1pieSGrX
Inn responded, his eyes meeting Foze's in mutual understanding and excitement.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYjFgeHwZd
"Yeah, it's both of us, Foze and I," Inn confirmed, his voice filled with hope.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFRXIpokMH
"We're in? Really? Yes! Thank you so much!"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DPPVfzHBr
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.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD5C5WXOX8
"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.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1oBA2RcqX
"You guys got into the music club? That's huge!"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHbhVxu6Q4
Inn nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, P'Jap. It's super cool!"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNUtAF3Gqg
Jap's eyebrows raised in impressed surprise,
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EnuWmlaGQ
"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!”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxwn4pMnA8
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.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljxh7bmqId
"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."
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFYaRGvYlx
Inn laughed and brushed off the compliment, "It's not like that, P'Jap. I'm just...me, still Inn."
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKQYgMOIv7
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."
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJO2QMTRmS
The thought hadn't occurred to Inn before. He fell quiet, thoughtful for a moment before responding with a determined look,
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej8FtRixzI
"Don't worry P'Jap, we'll still find the time to play basketball with you." Foze nodded in agreement.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5EVT0Kh75
"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!!"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgK05PSxPX
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.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR6TOHkbHx
"Looks like we're going to have to find a lot more time for practice,"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21KKz17ngy
Inn whispered to his friend thoughtfully, glancing around at the buzzing club room. Foze nodded, replying in a hushed tone, "Looks like it."
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxxMSFIXSb
Inn, however, wasn't fazed. He flashed a radiant, charming smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8avXkKE4H
"That's alright, I love practicing. Besides, it'll be fun practicing with you." The sentiment was returned with a shy smile from Foze.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJeWB0oZjk
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.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf39oLW9zd9
"That's P'Pathn, isn't it?" Foze queried, following Inn's gaze.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6Wc1wORB1
"Yeah, I think so," Inn confirmed, his gaze now fixed on the senior. "Let's go greet him.”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1kTCQaDuh
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.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuCh8i8Hc8
"Hi, Nong-Inn. How are you doing?" Pathn asked, making small talk as his friend quietly observed the newcomers.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFaJ7tiDsp
"We're doing great, P'Pathn," Inn replied, Foze nodding along. "Just finished our first meeting with the music club."
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBgD8DNMuC
"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.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTNVh2lKeu
"That's cool, congrats."
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNhtkDbaTC
"Thank you, P'Pathn," Inn said, a playful, proud smile lighting up his features. "And also, thank you for helping us the other day.”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijIDNGydUR
Inn referred to an incident when Pathn had stepped in to prevent some seniors from harassing them.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPvQ2LXmDV
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULtvqtf8zK
"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.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7ukCUwA4r
“By the way, this is my friend, Ton.” he introduced, as Ton offered a friendly smile.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqElBMwuAG
"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.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcOhnWJF6a
"We should get going now, P'Pathn. See you around," Inn said, his signature smile beaming brightly.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpape7fLyG9
"Sure, see you guys,”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G0SMhKCMR
Pathn responded in his typically reserved manner, yet not unfriendly. As Inn and Foze walked away, Ton turned to Pathn.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdySBvJDwAs
"So, that's Nong-Inn, your mentee, right?"
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyTb0yr4rQ
"Yes, he is,” Pathn confirmed, a hint of curiosity coloring his voice.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gq5SgXy6j
Ton leaned back, his eyes thoughtfully trailing after the juniors. "He seems friendly, pure, and nice."
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMewhB6OJm
"I suppose so," Pathn agreed, nodding slowly. Ton grinned, nudging Pathn playfully.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVmY9opTkW
"Take good care of him, Mr. Senior Mentor. That junior seems to be something special."
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL1OlQ8x7f
Pathn simply looked at him, his expression a curious blend of bemusement and contemplation.
