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?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CxU3YT4D2
Inn responded, his eyes meeting Foze's in mutual understanding and excitement.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWBxoMqDlR
"Yeah, it's both of us, Foze and I," Inn confirmed, his voice filled with hope.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hUPbKaZil
"We're in? Really? Yes! Thank you so much!"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt2lsCm9Ev
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrFIoKK905
"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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHT9uwEX2m
"You guys got into the music club? That's huge!"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCHks1sBLm
Inn nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, P'Jap. It's super cool!"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFVouTuAfx
Jap's eyebrows raised in impressed surprise,
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nHIrOn62T
"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!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D8rcO61zm
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViMZ5gB79v
"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."
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7du3KeUPL
Inn laughed and brushed off the compliment, "It's not like that, P'Jap. I'm just...me, still Inn."
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHVXbXW8GM
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."
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQyAVcoCIm
The thought hadn't occurred to Inn before. He fell quiet, thoughtful for a moment before responding with a determined look,
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL2K4Mg22u
"Don't worry P'Jap, we'll still find the time to play basketball with you." Foze nodded in agreement.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIgTpFILqY
"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!!"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1r6WLqg2l
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmQ23tk47V
"Looks like we're going to have to find a lot more time for practice,"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcQvxkbFVB
Inn whispered to his friend thoughtfully, glancing around at the buzzing club room. Foze nodded, replying in a hushed tone, "Looks like it."
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtrzUiYWd2
Inn, however, wasn't fazed. He flashed a radiant, charming smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01au6lwVhO
"That's alright, I love practicing. Besides, it'll be fun practicing with you." The sentiment was returned with a shy smile from Foze.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJTO2nx1V8
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6mn0PTNqX
"That's P'Pathn, isn't it?" Foze queried, following Inn's gaze.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCEkMS0bgR
"Yeah, I think so," Inn confirmed, his gaze now fixed on the senior. "Let's go greet him.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8vef1bDpK
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxCONdtpW6
"Hi, Nong-Inn. How are you doing?" Pathn asked, making small talk as his friend quietly observed the newcomers.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKARaD1AXc
"We're doing great, P'Pathn," Inn replied, Foze nodding along. "Just finished our first meeting with the music club."
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmb2rcX5qe
"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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv1WvAXjK6
"That's cool, congrats."
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWkfXOJcNN
"Thank you, P'Pathn," Inn said, a playful, proud smile lighting up his features. "And also, thank you for helping us the other day.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wTlHVYWVR
Inn referred to an incident when Pathn had stepped in to prevent some seniors from harassing them.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56FxMnTkxU
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7GxqT0B7Z
"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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2w82bY2lK
“By the way, this is my friend, Ton.” he introduced, as Ton offered a friendly smile.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpspQtLbs6X
"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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwORTMWzndO
"We should get going now, P'Pathn. See you around," Inn said, his signature smile beaming brightly.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSazTd2RuX
"Sure, see you guys,”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtmXqY4AXB
Pathn responded in his typically reserved manner, yet not unfriendly. As Inn and Foze walked away, Ton turned to Pathn.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37Vn2aqdrs
"So, that's Nong-Inn, your mentee, right?"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW9OxU7Yov
"Yes, he is,” Pathn confirmed, a hint of curiosity coloring his voice.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUDLL8y61p
Ton leaned back, his eyes thoughtfully trailing after the juniors. "He seems friendly, pure, and nice."
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93A5z868BM
"I suppose so," Pathn agreed, nodding slowly. Ton grinned, nudging Pathn playfully.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB9yxgH32d
"Take good care of him, Mr. Senior Mentor. That junior seems to be something special."
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIConzwUqX
Pathn simply looked at him, his expression a curious blend of bemusement and contemplation.
