After a long day at school, Pathn returned to his house, exhausted and drained. As soon as he stepped through the door, his dog jumped up, tail wagging excitedly, and Pathn chuckled as he ruffled the dog's fur.

"Hey there, boy. You miss me?" he asked.

His dog had been following him around, jumped and nuzzled his head against Pathn's arm. Pathn absentmindedly scratched the dog behind the ears, lost in his thoughts. He couldn't help but think about the cute boy, Inn, who had caught his eye since the new student orientation. He had felt a strange pull towards him, one that he couldn't quite explain. But he was also cautious. As a senior, he didn't want to get too involved with a freshman. But sometimes he couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to get to know Inn better, to spend time with him, to maybe even date him.

Pathn shook his head, trying to clear the thoughts from his mind, and walked further into the house, where his younger sister, Pim, were sitting in the living room watching TV. Pim looked up and smiled at him. "Hi, Pathn! How was school today?" she asked.

Pathn shrugged. "It was alright," he said, his tone detached but not unkind. He knew that his sisters looked up to him, and he tried to be a good role model for them, even if he didn't always feel like it.

He made his way to his bedroom, closing the door behind him. He stripped off his school uniform, revealing the toned muscles of his body. He started doing his usual bodyweight exercises, his muscles rippling as he stretched and flexed. The movements were precise, showing the discipline he had developed over the years.

As he was doing push-ups, he glanced over at his nightstand, where a framed picture of a pretty girl sat. She had been his girlfriend in middle school, but she had passed away a few years ago. Pathn still missed her terribly, and he often found himself talking to her picture as if she could hear him.

"Hey, babe," he said softly, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"I miss you."

He stayed like that for a few moments, lost in his thoughts, he missed her smile, her laugh, and the way she used to look at him with love in her eyes. Pathn felt a twinge of sadness in his heart, but he knew he had to move on before. He shook himself out of it and got up from the floor.

He took a deep breath and went to take a shower, feeling a little bit better after his exercise routine. But he couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing from his life, something that he couldn't quite put his finger on.
