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?”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4uTbJbbDH
Inn responded, his eyes meeting Foze's in mutual understanding and excitement.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9kaJxQv4C
"Yeah, it's both of us, Foze and I," Inn confirmed, his voice filled with hope.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QqtwdEhfn
"We're in? Really? Yes! Thank you so much!"
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVWQBbIzwg
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzCkAXIWBq
"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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMqw6fTudG
"You guys got into the music club? That's huge!"
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w5eyYqINb
Inn nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, P'Jap. It's super cool!"
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse5T0rHHn4
Jap's eyebrows raised in impressed surprise,
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5BDHXqNNp
"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!”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfk62x8Bku
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzjDeZkl1Y
"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."
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqXNuxh0p9
Inn laughed and brushed off the compliment, "It's not like that, P'Jap. I'm just...me, still Inn."
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8F4PkcWP4
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."
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdfKvN82LA
The thought hadn't occurred to Inn before. He fell quiet, thoughtful for a moment before responding with a determined look,
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJcj0YcuCD
"Don't worry P'Jap, we'll still find the time to play basketball with you." Foze nodded in agreement.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn54Plc5pB
"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!!"
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUUGFLMFe1
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVdHFMPxUE
"Looks like we're going to have to find a lot more time for practice,"
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHV05SyTNQ
Inn whispered to his friend thoughtfully, glancing around at the buzzing club room. Foze nodded, replying in a hushed tone, "Looks like it."
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumf1lsM0EG
Inn, however, wasn't fazed. He flashed a radiant, charming smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoADRu7RZf
"That's alright, I love practicing. Besides, it'll be fun practicing with you." The sentiment was returned with a shy smile from Foze.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ760SgLRvFF
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicLQ9DLDDf
"That's P'Pathn, isn't it?" Foze queried, following Inn's gaze.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkMP0oZMSg
"Yeah, I think so," Inn confirmed, his gaze now fixed on the senior. "Let's go greet him.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16WdXRzbrF
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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbi5VoSMhA
"Hi, Nong-Inn. How are you doing?" Pathn asked, making small talk as his friend quietly observed the newcomers.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrGWQlDhv8
"We're doing great, P'Pathn," Inn replied, Foze nodding along. "Just finished our first meeting with the music club."
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD14l7ybdzS
"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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa3ckgbRpO
"That's cool, congrats."
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWrdZc8mE6
"Thank you, P'Pathn," Inn said, a playful, proud smile lighting up his features. "And also, thank you for helping us the other day.”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aFsDytGpq
Inn referred to an incident when Pathn had stepped in to prevent some seniors from harassing them.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRQdRBYOlt
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER0vk1uVjj
"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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWZZEBGADs
“By the way, this is my friend, Ton.” he introduced, as Ton offered a friendly smile.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQSt3fDamm
"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.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywUrgpB2hP
"We should get going now, P'Pathn. See you around," Inn said, his signature smile beaming brightly.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaGruxDw78
"Sure, see you guys,”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ypiz8TC6H
Pathn responded in his typically reserved manner, yet not unfriendly. As Inn and Foze walked away, Ton turned to Pathn.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtf0vZK1kX
"So, that's Nong-Inn, your mentee, right?"
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HPWiI95HN
"Yes, he is,” Pathn confirmed, a hint of curiosity coloring his voice.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTU9ESPdkm
Ton leaned back, his eyes thoughtfully trailing after the juniors. "He seems friendly, pure, and nice."
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmxxtSi01c
"I suppose so," Pathn agreed, nodding slowly. Ton grinned, nudging Pathn playfully.
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9tLtycjjW
"Take good care of him, Mr. Senior Mentor. That junior seems to be something special."
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC93rYx1hc
Pathn simply looked at him, his expression a curious blend of bemusement and contemplation.
