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?”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmB9gKY11D
Inn responded, his eyes meeting Foze's in mutual understanding and excitement.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLIuIMK16a
"Yeah, it's both of us, Foze and I," Inn confirmed, his voice filled with hope.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHmYvczZbu
"We're in? Really? Yes! Thank you so much!"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfjkpLg0Cg
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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsi0h0pZlQ
"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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwHUkbFh72
"You guys got into the music club? That's huge!"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0F5lfxb96
Inn nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, P'Jap. It's super cool!"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH3gkLeH2j
Jap's eyebrows raised in impressed surprise,
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj2ZVwKdq5
"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!”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOkbgylkNo
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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3AkgzPywb
"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."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOmxDIhLSN
Inn laughed and brushed off the compliment, "It's not like that, P'Jap. I'm just...me, still Inn."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYFpZeGNO6
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."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAstRWQXRP6
The thought hadn't occurred to Inn before. He fell quiet, thoughtful for a moment before responding with a determined look,
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuNDBAHnt8
"Don't worry P'Jap, we'll still find the time to play basketball with you." Foze nodded in agreement.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXXySRtbb7
"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!!"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rcfWs3AR7
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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr5niN1zeG
"Looks like we're going to have to find a lot more time for practice,"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyLkcDX4QO
Inn whispered to his friend thoughtfully, glancing around at the buzzing club room. Foze nodded, replying in a hushed tone, "Looks like it."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1LNpqhYJc
Inn, however, wasn't fazed. He flashed a radiant, charming smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdMJl1V9Na
"That's alright, I love practicing. Besides, it'll be fun practicing with you." The sentiment was returned with a shy smile from Foze.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJZ5XSLSCa
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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWzS5cGjCG
"That's P'Pathn, isn't it?" Foze queried, following Inn's gaze.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNnJhwD0Gw
"Yeah, I think so," Inn confirmed, his gaze now fixed on the senior. "Let's go greet him.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dBPkE2ve6
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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TqpfFf9so
"Hi, Nong-Inn. How are you doing?" Pathn asked, making small talk as his friend quietly observed the newcomers.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjoRYL3W8Z
"We're doing great, P'Pathn," Inn replied, Foze nodding along. "Just finished our first meeting with the music club."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNSgHpytBJ
"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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLPPbWExKO
"That's cool, congrats."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sTZNMYNSS
"Thank you, P'Pathn," Inn said, a playful, proud smile lighting up his features. "And also, thank you for helping us the other day.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEB0lBPylk
Inn referred to an incident when Pathn had stepped in to prevent some seniors from harassing them.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCWyic9fTU
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPfBYwUvFP
"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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYHaOh1gg2
“By the way, this is my friend, Ton.” he introduced, as Ton offered a friendly smile.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKPnEKA262
"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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKUriOcdlG
"We should get going now, P'Pathn. See you around," Inn said, his signature smile beaming brightly.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6WBzoxjwh
"Sure, see you guys,”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5kN4WaTzU
Pathn responded in his typically reserved manner, yet not unfriendly. As Inn and Foze walked away, Ton turned to Pathn.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0lCzV0y0T
"So, that's Nong-Inn, your mentee, right?"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92Q1lEmEcy
"Yes, he is,” Pathn confirmed, a hint of curiosity coloring his voice.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I14CP4rOg
Ton leaned back, his eyes thoughtfully trailing after the juniors. "He seems friendly, pure, and nice."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9s0pnaxGS
"I suppose so," Pathn agreed, nodding slowly. Ton grinned, nudging Pathn playfully.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkDdIj8PxV
"Take good care of him, Mr. Senior Mentor. That junior seems to be something special."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9cdappjxH
Pathn simply looked at him, his expression a curious blend of bemusement and contemplation.
