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?”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVUvlRrXAa
Inn responded, his eyes meeting Foze's in mutual understanding and excitement.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoWlgmbRU1
"Yeah, it's both of us, Foze and I," Inn confirmed, his voice filled with hope.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmBvIKDYkh
"We're in? Really? Yes! Thank you so much!"
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIwCW71GwN
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHeGFv4ApK
"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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VnNCdXXOX
"You guys got into the music club? That's huge!"
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHrZtrtZpi
Inn nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, P'Jap. It's super cool!"
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUYblQFNLu
Jap's eyebrows raised in impressed surprise,
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibKKPnF92y
"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!”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW4FeUGNrG
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZg3MAemMn
"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."
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIXnDyKI2o
Inn laughed and brushed off the compliment, "It's not like that, P'Jap. I'm just...me, still Inn."
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNCWPHjYqZ
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."
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4CPu6YfGa
The thought hadn't occurred to Inn before. He fell quiet, thoughtful for a moment before responding with a determined look,
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YPCshZWNJ
"Don't worry P'Jap, we'll still find the time to play basketball with you." Foze nodded in agreement.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8uWd5u1Wm
"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!!"
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R7gyf7GSK
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen0CXn3sPV
"Looks like we're going to have to find a lot more time for practice,"
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZGRecHY80
Inn whispered to his friend thoughtfully, glancing around at the buzzing club room. Foze nodded, replying in a hushed tone, "Looks like it."
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCBiygmNSM
Inn, however, wasn't fazed. He flashed a radiant, charming smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS7a0U0HXB
"That's alright, I love practicing. Besides, it'll be fun practicing with you." The sentiment was returned with a shy smile from Foze.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnSArE3Gfp
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPf2bX6m0y
"That's P'Pathn, isn't it?" Foze queried, following Inn's gaze.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMvaTCa2By
"Yeah, I think so," Inn confirmed, his gaze now fixed on the senior. "Let's go greet him.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts7OT1licY
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzFvZhuoYp
"Hi, Nong-Inn. How are you doing?" Pathn asked, making small talk as his friend quietly observed the newcomers.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5i1QsmK3a
"We're doing great, P'Pathn," Inn replied, Foze nodding along. "Just finished our first meeting with the music club."
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LG1seEnWX
"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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTMJH5l5ZH
"That's cool, congrats."
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVBYvJOHGf
"Thank you, P'Pathn," Inn said, a playful, proud smile lighting up his features. "And also, thank you for helping us the other day.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmZM2bf8xt
Inn referred to an incident when Pathn had stepped in to prevent some seniors from harassing them.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YWLDUQW57
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQzgC88T3p
"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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosWbp45OHD
“By the way, this is my friend, Ton.” he introduced, as Ton offered a friendly smile.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb31ZuaShY
"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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRucLBS85u2
"We should get going now, P'Pathn. See you around," Inn said, his signature smile beaming brightly.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyHQThQNJV
"Sure, see you guys,”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKKqSdCrKh
Pathn responded in his typically reserved manner, yet not unfriendly. As Inn and Foze walked away, Ton turned to Pathn.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDR8iHuS4M
"So, that's Nong-Inn, your mentee, right?"
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8MQ30miDo
"Yes, he is,” Pathn confirmed, a hint of curiosity coloring his voice.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLcXsMD8hf
Ton leaned back, his eyes thoughtfully trailing after the juniors. "He seems friendly, pure, and nice."
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufagA9yv4R
"I suppose so," Pathn agreed, nodding slowly. Ton grinned, nudging Pathn playfully.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte1JFMWgLt
"Take good care of him, Mr. Senior Mentor. That junior seems to be something special."
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIk5c5ut8C
Pathn simply looked at him, his expression a curious blend of bemusement and contemplation.
