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?”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4101VLjr3a
Inn responded, his eyes meeting Foze's in mutual understanding and excitement.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADfnAXmrNP
"Yeah, it's both of us, Foze and I," Inn confirmed, his voice filled with hope.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUk5XSXzlM
"We're in? Really? Yes! Thank you so much!"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RiS7GVJG7
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN1D2CpoJV
"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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78eaGESDJi
"You guys got into the music club? That's huge!"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLY4ZvYJQu
Inn nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, P'Jap. It's super cool!"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkeWTmGOPW
Jap's eyebrows raised in impressed surprise,
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3ei7IrLuH
"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!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0wHLq7LH3
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIwGwiYzMg
"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."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbcHRIL8rR
Inn laughed and brushed off the compliment, "It's not like that, P'Jap. I'm just...me, still Inn."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm8P8wi9wa
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."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeDfuzBNWP
The thought hadn't occurred to Inn before. He fell quiet, thoughtful for a moment before responding with a determined look,
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUjvZbYEIm
"Don't worry P'Jap, we'll still find the time to play basketball with you." Foze nodded in agreement.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcacBpl4n3v
"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!!"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCFJ6PICQr
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0o0CNs59i
"Looks like we're going to have to find a lot more time for practice,"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvrBUgDTRO
Inn whispered to his friend thoughtfully, glancing around at the buzzing club room. Foze nodded, replying in a hushed tone, "Looks like it."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvx0kvVcc0
Inn, however, wasn't fazed. He flashed a radiant, charming smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pnb59zXhA
"That's alright, I love practicing. Besides, it'll be fun practicing with you." The sentiment was returned with a shy smile from Foze.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡragTix2KLL
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlY1Bn4ZHp
"That's P'Pathn, isn't it?" Foze queried, following Inn's gaze.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW6yfYrpWF
"Yeah, I think so," Inn confirmed, his gaze now fixed on the senior. "Let's go greet him.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoZbsjfuZJ
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4SpxiwpxN
"Hi, Nong-Inn. How are you doing?" Pathn asked, making small talk as his friend quietly observed the newcomers.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirG4cyXl0A
"We're doing great, P'Pathn," Inn replied, Foze nodding along. "Just finished our first meeting with the music club."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmX5eM3E9G
"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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0F1kTOfup
"That's cool, congrats."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32QhHGEGOK
"Thank you, P'Pathn," Inn said, a playful, proud smile lighting up his features. "And also, thank you for helping us the other day.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbh3rJsr4c
Inn referred to an incident when Pathn had stepped in to prevent some seniors from harassing them.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aIHbxZFRK
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzVdTVsAz8
"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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXG7d4HovG
“By the way, this is my friend, Ton.” he introduced, as Ton offered a friendly smile.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlajoMzWtnL
"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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWayG9O09f1
"We should get going now, P'Pathn. See you around," Inn said, his signature smile beaming brightly.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd4m98ekBG
"Sure, see you guys,”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3oXod7XFg
Pathn responded in his typically reserved manner, yet not unfriendly. As Inn and Foze walked away, Ton turned to Pathn.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGaXXH0qXZ
"So, that's Nong-Inn, your mentee, right?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdOD7AMvDf
"Yes, he is,” Pathn confirmed, a hint of curiosity coloring his voice.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhPxiWZKO4
Ton leaned back, his eyes thoughtfully trailing after the juniors. "He seems friendly, pure, and nice."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2K6K68XYx
"I suppose so," Pathn agreed, nodding slowly. Ton grinned, nudging Pathn playfully.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm5bNn0Mvq
"Take good care of him, Mr. Senior Mentor. That junior seems to be something special."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAmlYbW9KI
Pathn simply looked at him, his expression a curious blend of bemusement and contemplation.
