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?”
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvr0LF6hmn
Inn responded, his eyes meeting Foze's in mutual understanding and excitement.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwm3pPXZ6J
"Yeah, it's both of us, Foze and I," Inn confirmed, his voice filled with hope.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUtKRA43O6
"We're in? Really? Yes! Thank you so much!"
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIGfLWsBho
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiQzGkrclv
"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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEkZinJPfH
"You guys got into the music club? That's huge!"
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbtADFIr0E
Inn nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, P'Jap. It's super cool!"
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpX56BJ2kI
Jap's eyebrows raised in impressed surprise,
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfuLAQfrRk
"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!”
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d2NO7SeUA
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rQzsEyacm
"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."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigr4O7roEx
Inn laughed and brushed off the compliment, "It's not like that, P'Jap. I'm just...me, still Inn."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh0Y5bgfO9
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."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRDhTn9MjV
The thought hadn't occurred to Inn before. He fell quiet, thoughtful for a moment before responding with a determined look,
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohAvtueHhM
"Don't worry P'Jap, we'll still find the time to play basketball with you." Foze nodded in agreement.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5AqyoiczV
"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!!"
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPuM6RKBuw
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCekXURBaJ
"Looks like we're going to have to find a lot more time for practice,"
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iveXlkae9
Inn whispered to his friend thoughtfully, glancing around at the buzzing club room. Foze nodded, replying in a hushed tone, "Looks like it."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3udBWsLE0
Inn, however, wasn't fazed. He flashed a radiant, charming smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQKyEK0kGO
"That's alright, I love practicing. Besides, it'll be fun practicing with you." The sentiment was returned with a shy smile from Foze.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbpC104FZw
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHztptykr3
"That's P'Pathn, isn't it?" Foze queried, following Inn's gaze.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvkeYCv2Vk
"Yeah, I think so," Inn confirmed, his gaze now fixed on the senior. "Let's go greet him.”
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rGtPE0An4
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5j8y020oH
"Hi, Nong-Inn. How are you doing?" Pathn asked, making small talk as his friend quietly observed the newcomers.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp48byIWsaD
"We're doing great, P'Pathn," Inn replied, Foze nodding along. "Just finished our first meeting with the music club."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr97RTdWbyB
"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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcBRTcfvRX
"That's cool, congrats."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bG3NASS5g
"Thank you, P'Pathn," Inn said, a playful, proud smile lighting up his features. "And also, thank you for helping us the other day.”
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN99AufUD7
Inn referred to an incident when Pathn had stepped in to prevent some seniors from harassing them.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfFg830m09
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT0VBRDOsL
"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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1eSgDkGMF
“By the way, this is my friend, Ton.” he introduced, as Ton offered a friendly smile.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUv9gsWvJq
"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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXNnnKn1YE
"We should get going now, P'Pathn. See you around," Inn said, his signature smile beaming brightly.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZiOmF1Eil
"Sure, see you guys,”
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC7ZU2wwIL
Pathn responded in his typically reserved manner, yet not unfriendly. As Inn and Foze walked away, Ton turned to Pathn.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM51dv6KNTg
"So, that's Nong-Inn, your mentee, right?"
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYItRj08JQ8
"Yes, he is,” Pathn confirmed, a hint of curiosity coloring his voice.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmuRl18cH9
Ton leaned back, his eyes thoughtfully trailing after the juniors. "He seems friendly, pure, and nice."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsb3KUKaLz
"I suppose so," Pathn agreed, nodding slowly. Ton grinned, nudging Pathn playfully.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV31I5q9NDY
"Take good care of him, Mr. Senior Mentor. That junior seems to be something special."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5XR1kmLPa
Pathn simply looked at him, his expression a curious blend of bemusement and contemplation.
