Inn was strolling through the school courtyard when he saw Pathn sitting on a bench, absorbed in his phone. Inn hesitated for a moment, but then decided to approach him.

"Hey, P’Pathn, have you heard about the Vet's scholarship?" Inn asked.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAFXpTKBlr1g
Pathn looked up from his phone, his eyebrows raised in surprise. "No, I haven't. What's that?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAlxbf6Gjgk0
"It's a scholarship for students who want to pursue veterinary medicine," Inn explained. "I thought you might be interested in it, since you love animals and all."
317Please respect copyright.PENANAqV0WzxnvhQ
Pathn nodded thoughtfully. "Thanks for telling me about it, Inn. I'll look into it.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAEfhsRg90A8
They chatted for a few more minutes, discussing their plans for the evening. Pathn asked if Inn wanted to play basketball later.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAYu30VsKfnB
Inn's expression fell a little. "Sorry, I can't," he said, looking apologetic. "Froze and I are practicing a song for the 'All Activity Day'. We need to get it perfect.”

Pathn frowned slightly. "Ah, I see," he said, disappointment evident in his voice. "Well, maybe another time then.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAfWdOIyiB3O
Inn nodded, looking understanding. "Yeah, definitely. We can play basketball next week or something," he said, trying to cheer Pathn up.

Pathn nodded back, a small smile returning to his face and watched as Inn walked away. As Inn passed by a group of girls, they greeted him excitedly and giggled as he passed by.

Pathn couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. Inn seemed to be well-liked by everyone, especially girls. Pathn, on the other hand, had always been more reserved and kept to himself.

He shook off the feeling and resumed scrolling through his phone. As he did, he saw a notification from his judo team's group chat. They were organizing an evening practice session, and Pathn knew he had to go.

Later that evening, after a grueling judo practice, Pathn and his teammates were feeling exhausted but accomplished. As they were getting ready to head home, Pathn's best friend Ton brought up the topic of Inn and basketball.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAbGEkJJTg2V
"So, how's it like playing basketball with Inn?" Ton asked.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAItpuwf5b13
"It's great, he's really good. And he's a nice guy," Pathn replied, trying to sound nonchalant.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAolZhmNgLBT
Ton raised an eyebrow. "Is that all? He's not hot or anything?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAxTb22OZ2Ew
Pathn rolled his eyes. "I don't know, I don't really think about that kind of stuff.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANACTJaBBSVQh
Ton grinned mischievously. "Come on, don't tell me you've never looked at him and thought, damn, he's fine.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAlkKeC25udy
Pathn chuckled, feeling slightly uncomfortable. "No, I really haven't. I'm not interested in that kind of thing.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAWKC0kwcnSr
Ton shrugged. "Suit yourself, man. But just remember, it's not a bad thing to appreciate good looks.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAfjnpu4O6Tf
Pathn nodded, still feeling awkward. He bid goodbye to his teammates and headed home, eager to relax after a long day. As he entered his house, his dog ran up to greet him, wagging her tail excitedly. Pathn smiled and crouched down to pet her.

After a few minutes of playing with his dog, Pathn's younger sister Pim walked in and greeted him with a warm smile.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAuklEyz12JI
"Hey, bro. How was your day?" Pim asked.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAtikxNuDMUt
"It was good. Just had a tough judo practice," Pathn replied.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAFa8d8H2ByC
Pim nodded sympathetically. "Well, it's good that you're getting better. Hey, do you want to help me with dinner? We're making your favorite, pad thai.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAd7OMbYPv4j
Pathn grinned. "Sure thing. Let's get to work.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANANgiL9B98GF
As they worked together in the kitchen, Pathn couldn't help but feel grateful for his sister. She was always there for him, even when he didn't show it
