"Good grief... that was never-ending," Kin murmured as the drawn-out senior meeting finally concluded, ambling down the corridor alongside Jirat. He exhaled a sigh of relief, "I'm lucky I managed to avoid any responsibilities.”

"You're just shirking your duties, Kin," Jirat pointed out, chuckling as he mentioned his own assignment for an upcoming event.

"Well, aren't you the epitome of a dutiful student?" Kin teased his friend.

"Man, I need something fun." Kin expressed his boredom with a dramatic sigh. He paused, grabbing onto Jirat's shoulder for support, a twinkle in his eyes as he proposed, "How about we hit the clubs tonight?"

"Who'd have thought? An introvert who loves clubbing.” Jirat quipped back with a smirk.

"As long as it's not a crowd," Kin justified, "Just you and me won't drain too much of my energy."

"Oh, not inviting one or more of your handsome juniors tonight?" Jirat jested, winking at Kin.

Kin rolled his eyes, "They're hot, but hanging out with them can be a pain sometimes," he admitted, "They're only really good when it's just us... on the bed.”

"Oh my god, Kin! You're incorrigible!” Jirat burst out laughing at Kin's candid admission. "Alright, let's do it," Jirat conceded, shaking his head at his friend's antics, "Let's meet at The Hub tonight.”

"Sounds like a plan," Kin replied, splitting off from Jirat with a nod. As he meandered away, he exchanged casual farewells with a few other friends passing by in the corridor.

The pulse of the music resonated through the vibrant atmosphere of The Hub. Its high ceilings and chic decor, coupled with the effervescent chatter of various groups, created an atmosphere that was equal parts lively and laid-back. A live band was breathing life into the night, their music drawing a lively, yet comfortably uncrowded, audience. Streams of laughter, conversations, and the rhythmic beat of the music mingled in the air, contributing to the effervescent mood of the evening.

Over by the bar, Kin and Jirat found themselves a comfortable spot, beers in hand, their heads bobbing subtly to the music. Jirat, a fan of the current band, leaned over to Kin and said,

"You've got to admit, their lead vocalist has a voice that could shatter glass." His eyes shone with admiration for the band he had followed for quite a while.

Kin nodded, his eyes drawn to the band performing on the elevated stage, "I've never really caught their gig before, since I never come on their scheduled nights." His voice was barely audible over the pulsating rhythm of the live music.

Their glasses clinked together in a casual toast, "Here's to a chill night, not too much drinking, just the right amount of fun." Kin proposed, his gaze meeting Jirat’s.

Jirat chuckled, shaking his head, "When you say 'chill', it usually ends in an epic night of debauchery." He raised his own glass in return, the corners of his mouth curving up into a smile. "Let's see what 'chill' looks like tonight, shall we?”

Meanwhile, in another corner of The Hub, Than sat surrounded by his friends, a mock look of disappointment plastered across his face. His friend Pond had dragged him here, disrupting his plans for the evening.

"I should be in my dorm right now, Pond, clearing up the project work," Than grumbled, his words falling onto the ears of his sympathetic friends.

Pond, defending his decision, reminded Than, "Dude, you've still got two weeks until the deadline." Another friend chimed in, half-jokingly attributing Pond's heartbroken state, attempting to justify his desire for company.

Than, however, was quick to shrug it off, "Pond's always been like this. Heartbreak, make-up, break-up, rinse and repeat." His words held a teasing undertone, which caused Pond to give a dramatic gasp.

"Well, at least you're here for me, Than!" Pond exclaimed, slinging an arm around Than's shoulders. The table erupted into cheers, each of them raising their glasses in a toast.

As the evening unfolded, the atmosphere of The Hub was buoyant, a living, breathing entity of its own. The night was still young, and it held the promise of being anything but ordinary. A short distance away, Loft and his band members made their entrance, sneaking in through the musician's entrance. They were next in line to perform, their reputation as the evening's main event heightening the anticipation in the air.
