Inn was strolling through the school courtyard when he saw Pathn sitting on a bench, absorbed in his phone. Inn hesitated for a moment, but then decided to approach him.

"Hey, P’Pathn, have you heard about the Vet's scholarship?" Inn asked.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQAGV2uCd7
Pathn looked up from his phone, his eyebrows raised in surprise. "No, I haven't. What's that?”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX645wCj7a
"It's a scholarship for students who want to pursue veterinary medicine," Inn explained. "I thought you might be interested in it, since you love animals and all."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdRRLIYj4o
Pathn nodded thoughtfully. "Thanks for telling me about it, Inn. I'll look into it.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QdigN1mkK
They chatted for a few more minutes, discussing their plans for the evening. Pathn asked if Inn wanted to play basketball later.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDsu0bCU4U
Inn's expression fell a little. "Sorry, I can't," he said, looking apologetic. "Froze and I are practicing a song for the 'All Activity Day'. We need to get it perfect.”

Pathn frowned slightly. "Ah, I see," he said, disappointment evident in his voice. "Well, maybe another time then.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcLCA5GX1F
Inn nodded, looking understanding. "Yeah, definitely. We can play basketball next week or something," he said, trying to cheer Pathn up.

Pathn nodded back, a small smile returning to his face and watched as Inn walked away. As Inn passed by a group of girls, they greeted him excitedly and giggled as he passed by.

Pathn couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. Inn seemed to be well-liked by everyone, especially girls. Pathn, on the other hand, had always been more reserved and kept to himself.

He shook off the feeling and resumed scrolling through his phone. As he did, he saw a notification from his judo team's group chat. They were organizing an evening practice session, and Pathn knew he had to go.

Later that evening, after a grueling judo practice, Pathn and his teammates were feeling exhausted but accomplished. As they were getting ready to head home, Pathn's best friend Ton brought up the topic of Inn and basketball.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFTJRaVOpU
"So, how's it like playing basketball with Inn?" Ton asked.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6O2jIQIhy
"It's great, he's really good. And he's a nice guy," Pathn replied, trying to sound nonchalant.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ubrJadCsa
Ton raised an eyebrow. "Is that all? He's not hot or anything?”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXszQ3CjIZ
Pathn rolled his eyes. "I don't know, I don't really think about that kind of stuff.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVefnmKDE6
Ton grinned mischievously. "Come on, don't tell me you've never looked at him and thought, damn, he's fine.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLspdmFgZqj
Pathn chuckled, feeling slightly uncomfortable. "No, I really haven't. I'm not interested in that kind of thing.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy7usAwr5n
Ton shrugged. "Suit yourself, man. But just remember, it's not a bad thing to appreciate good looks.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGao06InYaI
Pathn nodded, still feeling awkward. He bid goodbye to his teammates and headed home, eager to relax after a long day. As he entered his house, his dog ran up to greet him, wagging her tail excitedly. Pathn smiled and crouched down to pet her.

After a few minutes of playing with his dog, Pathn's younger sister Pim walked in and greeted him with a warm smile.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAmvS3d0ZX
"Hey, bro. How was your day?" Pim asked.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6oSxpJlM2
"It was good. Just had a tough judo practice," Pathn replied.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUbq1ynLvZ
Pim nodded sympathetically. "Well, it's good that you're getting better. Hey, do you want to help me with dinner? We're making your favorite, pad thai.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UmziJIMjI
Pathn grinned. "Sure thing. Let's get to work.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9YMOjUfST
As they worked together in the kitchen, Pathn couldn't help but feel grateful for his sister. She was always there for him, even when he didn't show it
