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?”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZOc2TOrm2
Inn responded, his eyes meeting Foze's in mutual understanding and excitement.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0JmERe2LT
"Yeah, it's both of us, Foze and I," Inn confirmed, his voice filled with hope.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMKAIzuqOq
"We're in? Really? Yes! Thank you so much!"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhDEDCAgZS
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxBF2GsZJT
"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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZFJQ9T873
"You guys got into the music club? That's huge!"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23pHpZ5QCY
Inn nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, P'Jap. It's super cool!"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvlo4K1T0P
Jap's eyebrows raised in impressed surprise,
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EaCSVUyvX
"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!”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi5rr4aldN
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJde5zCzyMa
"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."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dgAbdDJnq
Inn laughed and brushed off the compliment, "It's not like that, P'Jap. I'm just...me, still Inn."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpGQphXI12
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."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO3lWocIhk
The thought hadn't occurred to Inn before. He fell quiet, thoughtful for a moment before responding with a determined look,
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio3cLrbhCg
"Don't worry P'Jap, we'll still find the time to play basketball with you." Foze nodded in agreement.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTes0oS6zOV
"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!!"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ9yHsmpmW
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPG7wAzisl
"Looks like we're going to have to find a lot more time for practice,"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKNBSiQcoR
Inn whispered to his friend thoughtfully, glancing around at the buzzing club room. Foze nodded, replying in a hushed tone, "Looks like it."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnZp26M1jD
Inn, however, wasn't fazed. He flashed a radiant, charming smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TALc8pXQz
"That's alright, I love practicing. Besides, it'll be fun practicing with you." The sentiment was returned with a shy smile from Foze.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP9etmw1TY
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvaLTKWxSt
"That's P'Pathn, isn't it?" Foze queried, following Inn's gaze.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG9ba37ptT
"Yeah, I think so," Inn confirmed, his gaze now fixed on the senior. "Let's go greet him.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjswRlH3rQ
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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVCSh8ZFop
"Hi, Nong-Inn. How are you doing?" Pathn asked, making small talk as his friend quietly observed the newcomers.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeLlCQVm1R
"We're doing great, P'Pathn," Inn replied, Foze nodding along. "Just finished our first meeting with the music club."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDETPODIbTm
"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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9tnRIceeX
"That's cool, congrats."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4U3QjD9Gr
"Thank you, P'Pathn," Inn said, a playful, proud smile lighting up his features. "And also, thank you for helping us the other day.”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyLiiNMTBy
Inn referred to an incident when Pathn had stepped in to prevent some seniors from harassing them.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBFeCxMpBb
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcFE3liZQA
"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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWsqOK1wAc
“By the way, this is my friend, Ton.” he introduced, as Ton offered a friendly smile.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDMO1awD6s
"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.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH6zfIKqrx
"We should get going now, P'Pathn. See you around," Inn said, his signature smile beaming brightly.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tfF7J28px
"Sure, see you guys,”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOC8CQvleQ
Pathn responded in his typically reserved manner, yet not unfriendly. As Inn and Foze walked away, Ton turned to Pathn.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUML482xU7
"So, that's Nong-Inn, your mentee, right?"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7K469knEc
"Yes, he is,” Pathn confirmed, a hint of curiosity coloring his voice.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4lfUYQ0A6
Ton leaned back, his eyes thoughtfully trailing after the juniors. "He seems friendly, pure, and nice."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaEozJbJLt
"I suppose so," Pathn agreed, nodding slowly. Ton grinned, nudging Pathn playfully.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDqZQbUMDM
"Take good care of him, Mr. Senior Mentor. That junior seems to be something special."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMHBIAUomS
Pathn simply looked at him, his expression a curious blend of bemusement and contemplation.
