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?”
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIiQQLnLWe
Inn responded, his eyes meeting Foze's in mutual understanding and excitement.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcXY4qDnZR
"Yeah, it's both of us, Foze and I," Inn confirmed, his voice filled with hope.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq83TnSTNhY
"We're in? Really? Yes! Thank you so much!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cWmjHxntl
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.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0lp2hiIzb
"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.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0p15GDCYP
"You guys got into the music club? That's huge!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCnDkpQoxk
Inn nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, P'Jap. It's super cool!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaxeHVX9pk
Jap's eyebrows raised in impressed surprise,
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32OXqyUDjP
"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!”
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3adowU5ltb
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.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGlAGSOOKa
"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."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02o3yfposo
Inn laughed and brushed off the compliment, "It's not like that, P'Jap. I'm just...me, still Inn."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSLx6AgQC0
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."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2cP74OAOw
The thought hadn't occurred to Inn before. He fell quiet, thoughtful for a moment before responding with a determined look,
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqY3eRQyR3
"Don't worry P'Jap, we'll still find the time to play basketball with you." Foze nodded in agreement.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgB1ZQdcrK
"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!!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R84Dp2ayM
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.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOfZjuSZQQ
"Looks like we're going to have to find a lot more time for practice,"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmhoqtal2v
Inn whispered to his friend thoughtfully, glancing around at the buzzing club room. Foze nodded, replying in a hushed tone, "Looks like it."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBkNUqaluV
Inn, however, wasn't fazed. He flashed a radiant, charming smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpO3bYaaRo
"That's alright, I love practicing. Besides, it'll be fun practicing with you." The sentiment was returned with a shy smile from Foze.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4P08euJy3
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.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlArVvhFbw
"That's P'Pathn, isn't it?" Foze queried, following Inn's gaze.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAiZHD4tpn
"Yeah, I think so," Inn confirmed, his gaze now fixed on the senior. "Let's go greet him.”
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKueyVdulcT
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.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoGU3dEHdl
"Hi, Nong-Inn. How are you doing?" Pathn asked, making small talk as his friend quietly observed the newcomers.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEYrz11W5w
"We're doing great, P'Pathn," Inn replied, Foze nodding along. "Just finished our first meeting with the music club."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWEYqyoIqV
"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.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxHVnM6KMr
"That's cool, congrats."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslW8uLD3P5
"Thank you, P'Pathn," Inn said, a playful, proud smile lighting up his features. "And also, thank you for helping us the other day.”
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnFi0VtIIf
Inn referred to an incident when Pathn had stepped in to prevent some seniors from harassing them.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbcpG2BjgE
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8SP53agjt
"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.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M66eXp239
“By the way, this is my friend, Ton.” he introduced, as Ton offered a friendly smile.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjw6QFDjCk
"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.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVndj3qcC3
"We should get going now, P'Pathn. See you around," Inn said, his signature smile beaming brightly.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hMfdH76C0
"Sure, see you guys,”
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtrisiQPKx
Pathn responded in his typically reserved manner, yet not unfriendly. As Inn and Foze walked away, Ton turned to Pathn.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyI6vsNkM0
"So, that's Nong-Inn, your mentee, right?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmdvfusZp9
"Yes, he is,” Pathn confirmed, a hint of curiosity coloring his voice.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODO7XttYcl
Ton leaned back, his eyes thoughtfully trailing after the juniors. "He seems friendly, pure, and nice."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PhwpKaM0c
"I suppose so," Pathn agreed, nodding slowly. Ton grinned, nudging Pathn playfully.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgPoeWpAE2
"Take good care of him, Mr. Senior Mentor. That junior seems to be something special."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUdvckocXF
Pathn simply looked at him, his expression a curious blend of bemusement and contemplation.
