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.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQcZPr1RlK
"Mom, this is Inn, my friend from school," Foze introduced Inn, his voice tinted with the slightest bit of nervousness.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEPpwaL3Bq
"Hello, Auntie," Inn greeted her respectfully, offering a polite Wai.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1dKLgMOyT
She waved her hand dismissively, a smile gracing her lips, "You boys make yourselves at home."
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr5g1cMlq5
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.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTMlFn5qfT
"Do you play the guitar, Foze?" Inn asked, his eyes lingering on the beautiful instruments.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FqO73Poi1
"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.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxJuPxfzxi
"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.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqwDljrbEO
"Sure, I can."
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4Bt0ZJhzE
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.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlciusf7Kde
"You also sing very well, Inn,"
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4OGFEwgw2
Foze complimented, mirroring Inn's earlier praise. Inn grinned widely, feeling a wave of delight washing over him.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzGkROX7UH
"How about we record ourselves playing and singing, then post it on social media?" He suggested, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQy4WWCvRL
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.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLQhJ3cFY4
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.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fPNIbM05b
"Are you ready for this?" Inn asked, casting a glance at Foze.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhT8I55HTz
"As ready as I can be," Foze replied, clutching his guitar like a lifeline.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRMr7dvOGX
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,
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkhBx86wOU
"Impressive. We'll be in touch."
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB5qHCT1id
As they exited the club, Inn's mind was churning. "Hey Foze, I was thinking we should visit the Judo practice room," he suggested. 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERVdB07nWi
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXgtTDBLaI
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.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFIxEijfYy
"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."
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaexJhprCwK
"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.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKr7v0fLrs
"Hold it, where do you think you're going?" One of them sneered, blocking their path. Inn's patience was wearing thin.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkTAyTnZMI
"What are you doing? Leave us alone. It was just an accident."
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ed2WGKD2G
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.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcd3B3zQXk
"What's happening here?" Pathn's voice was level but held an icy undertone that made the senior's group waver.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NMgd2zc27
"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,
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvXJxdt7zL
"Is this true?"
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB5KxRJUCa
"No, it wasn't intentional. We were just trying to pass by," Inn quickly explained. Pathn's steely gaze returned to the senior.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM295Robpb
"You heard them. Now, back off."
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSptnRwfGk
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.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83LWdrxPwW
"Thanks, P'Pathn," Inn said, still feeling his heart race.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDhILEL1k6
Pathn shrugged. "No problem. Just be careful. There are always people looking to start trouble."
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrsONsCral
Inn nodded, thankful for Pathn's help. Summoning his courage, he confessed,
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2nRkL4AJZ
"Actually, I came to see you, P'Pathn." Pathn looked at him surprised. "P'Nok told me where to find you."
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OcmBDnvpj
Pathn nodded understandingly, "I see. I apologize for not being in touch. My classwork and Judo practice have kept me busy."
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgdLJIC6ZE
"It's okay, P'Pathn. I understand you're busy," Inn replied, appreciating Pathn's honesty.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCcFXwd2rB
Pathn offered a small smile, "I'll make sure to contact you sometime."
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULXjAOyPIe
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.
