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?”
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJvrm1dM6U
Inn responded, his eyes meeting Foze's in mutual understanding and excitement.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n19K7CyEK
"Yeah, it's both of us, Foze and I," Inn confirmed, his voice filled with hope.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmIyWiUkUY
"We're in? Really? Yes! Thank you so much!"
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGdq8LmIV4
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CAyWOm30P
"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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mpoob7eRV
"You guys got into the music club? That's huge!"
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQwvwN6xbC
Inn nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, P'Jap. It's super cool!"
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6KDGPUdqB
Jap's eyebrows raised in impressed surprise,
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNu60Ves1r
"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!”
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p0mh6RToz
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL5GeROou0
"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."
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaF8tMVd5k
Inn laughed and brushed off the compliment, "It's not like that, P'Jap. I'm just...me, still Inn."
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMBxBi2aT9
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."
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQtkMp9zFE
The thought hadn't occurred to Inn before. He fell quiet, thoughtful for a moment before responding with a determined look,
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b4DRpIWgr
"Don't worry P'Jap, we'll still find the time to play basketball with you." Foze nodded in agreement.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwYJ5XZ9oe
"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!!"
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2W0dEkfV2
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLziodgHNKl
"Looks like we're going to have to find a lot more time for practice,"
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXogT0WHkl
Inn whispered to his friend thoughtfully, glancing around at the buzzing club room. Foze nodded, replying in a hushed tone, "Looks like it."
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzCMQCCT9M
Inn, however, wasn't fazed. He flashed a radiant, charming smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04EopkwWAx
"That's alright, I love practicing. Besides, it'll be fun practicing with you." The sentiment was returned with a shy smile from Foze.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMYEucgMPB
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRZRJf7dAS
"That's P'Pathn, isn't it?" Foze queried, following Inn's gaze.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuhsaU8XNy
"Yeah, I think so," Inn confirmed, his gaze now fixed on the senior. "Let's go greet him.”
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZxyYg6wCJ
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MgbmFAz0B
"Hi, Nong-Inn. How are you doing?" Pathn asked, making small talk as his friend quietly observed the newcomers.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0yOs6nD2s
"We're doing great, P'Pathn," Inn replied, Foze nodding along. "Just finished our first meeting with the music club."
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa8xjtrZoy
"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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDHPaQNU7s
"That's cool, congrats."
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgZZU2aju8
"Thank you, P'Pathn," Inn said, a playful, proud smile lighting up his features. "And also, thank you for helping us the other day.”
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4lPlO3QRY
Inn referred to an incident when Pathn had stepped in to prevent some seniors from harassing them.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsy8HV6zJa
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvrn63Cggd
"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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocUpG5RKxe
“By the way, this is my friend, Ton.” he introduced, as Ton offered a friendly smile.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFC0Soef1n
"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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFAAyawMrX
"We should get going now, P'Pathn. See you around," Inn said, his signature smile beaming brightly.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLFOFAaFXY
"Sure, see you guys,”
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQAjDQSu5M
Pathn responded in his typically reserved manner, yet not unfriendly. As Inn and Foze walked away, Ton turned to Pathn.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZD7FBlKzG
"So, that's Nong-Inn, your mentee, right?"
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp46tVYgzHF
"Yes, he is,” Pathn confirmed, a hint of curiosity coloring his voice.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNAN9CF8fD
Ton leaned back, his eyes thoughtfully trailing after the juniors. "He seems friendly, pure, and nice."
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EI86p2i2Z
"I suppose so," Pathn agreed, nodding slowly. Ton grinned, nudging Pathn playfully.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVmJjO0fBE
"Take good care of him, Mr. Senior Mentor. That junior seems to be something special."
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf6NmJ9kjk
Pathn simply looked at him, his expression a curious blend of bemusement and contemplation.
