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?”
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7xaGzCiUw
Inn responded, his eyes meeting Foze's in mutual understanding and excitement.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC0mHI0051
"Yeah, it's both of us, Foze and I," Inn confirmed, his voice filled with hope.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyQM5sji8I
"We're in? Really? Yes! Thank you so much!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK7popw1F5
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNZWSgaMmW
"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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdhtHUJf5m
"You guys got into the music club? That's huge!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPn3fD25dD
Inn nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, P'Jap. It's super cool!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSP4C3DPG9
Jap's eyebrows raised in impressed surprise,
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKjiSn7fg6
"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!”
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX80Mr6Quj3
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqfulZkF1c
"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."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QMZeUSL2P
Inn laughed and brushed off the compliment, "It's not like that, P'Jap. I'm just...me, still Inn."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x2NVQkgjF
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."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ192bB37ohx
The thought hadn't occurred to Inn before. He fell quiet, thoughtful for a moment before responding with a determined look,
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96RE2ZTzve
"Don't worry P'Jap, we'll still find the time to play basketball with you." Foze nodded in agreement.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1w0mCJZcN
"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!!"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRDqKJKSi1
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatBzr2UVCw
"Looks like we're going to have to find a lot more time for practice,"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqQsbt4bUw
Inn whispered to his friend thoughtfully, glancing around at the buzzing club room. Foze nodded, replying in a hushed tone, "Looks like it."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4CsWriGUa
Inn, however, wasn't fazed. He flashed a radiant, charming smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82gAUBCLcB
"That's alright, I love practicing. Besides, it'll be fun practicing with you." The sentiment was returned with a shy smile from Foze.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBOtLQPNJ0
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiWXQR3Fvc
"That's P'Pathn, isn't it?" Foze queried, following Inn's gaze.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGKMuOvSRX
"Yeah, I think so," Inn confirmed, his gaze now fixed on the senior. "Let's go greet him.”
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULSpKn1Aao
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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvGIjpiIn6
"Hi, Nong-Inn. How are you doing?" Pathn asked, making small talk as his friend quietly observed the newcomers.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHsi1mRjah
"We're doing great, P'Pathn," Inn replied, Foze nodding along. "Just finished our first meeting with the music club."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeJktb05u0
"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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9QylkdJPH
"That's cool, congrats."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtug9Bo3Co3
"Thank you, P'Pathn," Inn said, a playful, proud smile lighting up his features. "And also, thank you for helping us the other day.”
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57kqVgUTim
Inn referred to an incident when Pathn had stepped in to prevent some seniors from harassing them.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4MQTk2I5A
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L8jpu4yYm
"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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXDwhn1WCE
“By the way, this is my friend, Ton.” he introduced, as Ton offered a friendly smile.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLcjIKsfhL
"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.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUamM0X6wLT
"We should get going now, P'Pathn. See you around," Inn said, his signature smile beaming brightly.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFejoQumlP
"Sure, see you guys,”
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEhTHXBKt3
Pathn responded in his typically reserved manner, yet not unfriendly. As Inn and Foze walked away, Ton turned to Pathn.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdkBqt02rD
"So, that's Nong-Inn, your mentee, right?"
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylQL4RzoNt
"Yes, he is,” Pathn confirmed, a hint of curiosity coloring his voice.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEzaKrNlK2
Ton leaned back, his eyes thoughtfully trailing after the juniors. "He seems friendly, pure, and nice."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxXEq1mPcS
"I suppose so," Pathn agreed, nodding slowly. Ton grinned, nudging Pathn playfully.
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfpfruk4I7
"Take good care of him, Mr. Senior Mentor. That junior seems to be something special."
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOGj3ALiCa
Pathn simply looked at him, his expression a curious blend of bemusement and contemplation.
