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?”
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVItsnS41N
Inn responded, his eyes meeting Foze's in mutual understanding and excitement.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRA6J9t7zJ
"Yeah, it's both of us, Foze and I," Inn confirmed, his voice filled with hope.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsAQ8QwDaZ
"We're in? Really? Yes! Thank you so much!"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM87Ebf1qsm
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.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDMMjCbLof
"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.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm6YbaZM9Q
"You guys got into the music club? That's huge!"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmtL34IzHf
Inn nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, P'Jap. It's super cool!"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfdpJaRB5K
Jap's eyebrows raised in impressed surprise,
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuG8e7PXw0
"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!”
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyWE7yLvQC
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.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihpAp9unjL
"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."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5HhLwjuuG
Inn laughed and brushed off the compliment, "It's not like that, P'Jap. I'm just...me, still Inn."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivQuJyKrRh
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."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdriG22WTg2
The thought hadn't occurred to Inn before. He fell quiet, thoughtful for a moment before responding with a determined look,
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorsTCstVXo
"Don't worry P'Jap, we'll still find the time to play basketball with you." Foze nodded in agreement.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtyfrvfHme
"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!!"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeNGMjGbmR
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.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW9ULI2Wag
"Looks like we're going to have to find a lot more time for practice,"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzqjXiR927
Inn whispered to his friend thoughtfully, glancing around at the buzzing club room. Foze nodded, replying in a hushed tone, "Looks like it."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79ImY6gF8o
Inn, however, wasn't fazed. He flashed a radiant, charming smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjp3bzKL7d
"That's alright, I love practicing. Besides, it'll be fun practicing with you." The sentiment was returned with a shy smile from Foze.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdlvlbZh3E
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.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNrXg57Egi
"That's P'Pathn, isn't it?" Foze queried, following Inn's gaze.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08B6dP4TAN
"Yeah, I think so," Inn confirmed, his gaze now fixed on the senior. "Let's go greet him.”
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvtSTUtWvb
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.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueaGqkhiR8
"Hi, Nong-Inn. How are you doing?" Pathn asked, making small talk as his friend quietly observed the newcomers.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99zyKDuAR7
"We're doing great, P'Pathn," Inn replied, Foze nodding along. "Just finished our first meeting with the music club."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG41LNRbJU
"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.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6tk4xb4jL
"That's cool, congrats."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbkOatarJc
"Thank you, P'Pathn," Inn said, a playful, proud smile lighting up his features. "And also, thank you for helping us the other day.”
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEjrmfmd2w
Inn referred to an incident when Pathn had stepped in to prevent some seniors from harassing them.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDKBZnsrr4
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SOgbEVuJg
"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.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qHmA1ymEA
“By the way, this is my friend, Ton.” he introduced, as Ton offered a friendly smile.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFPYY7edoh
"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.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyFCRtoP8N
"We should get going now, P'Pathn. See you around," Inn said, his signature smile beaming brightly.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreg0obHDMx
"Sure, see you guys,”
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42TnNezyK4
Pathn responded in his typically reserved manner, yet not unfriendly. As Inn and Foze walked away, Ton turned to Pathn.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo4x11Dysj
"So, that's Nong-Inn, your mentee, right?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpp51JGLgm
"Yes, he is,” Pathn confirmed, a hint of curiosity coloring his voice.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwH2fQ6NBu
Ton leaned back, his eyes thoughtfully trailing after the juniors. "He seems friendly, pure, and nice."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt8UAb0X5g
"I suppose so," Pathn agreed, nodding slowly. Ton grinned, nudging Pathn playfully.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDniTQdDTpx
"Take good care of him, Mr. Senior Mentor. That junior seems to be something special."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUGsVztiUl
Pathn simply looked at him, his expression a curious blend of bemusement and contemplation.
