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?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIV94HykR8
Inn responded, his eyes meeting Foze's in mutual understanding and excitement.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc9pli3Mxq
"Yeah, it's both of us, Foze and I," Inn confirmed, his voice filled with hope.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXksVeGjZwy
"We're in? Really? Yes! Thank you so much!"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfBqrf4iAZ
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG00bDztqn2
"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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRBZDgj1Ho
"You guys got into the music club? That's huge!"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhRjICkV9L
Inn nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, P'Jap. It's super cool!"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9lcSPDhWd
Jap's eyebrows raised in impressed surprise,
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGF38ZWGF4
"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!”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGyYcTLyKr
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUPiH3ZeUz
"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."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPjppDTP8A
Inn laughed and brushed off the compliment, "It's not like that, P'Jap. I'm just...me, still Inn."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62wgjQLqVs
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."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xjJaZ13KN
The thought hadn't occurred to Inn before. He fell quiet, thoughtful for a moment before responding with a determined look,
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq70e1Wb3H4
"Don't worry P'Jap, we'll still find the time to play basketball with you." Foze nodded in agreement.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2solyFQoOK
"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!!"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kHw9N4rhm
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuVdhpPngC
"Looks like we're going to have to find a lot more time for practice,"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaePXfO7Mk
Inn whispered to his friend thoughtfully, glancing around at the buzzing club room. Foze nodded, replying in a hushed tone, "Looks like it."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaybsYDcpVw
Inn, however, wasn't fazed. He flashed a radiant, charming smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzsGGDTezd
"That's alright, I love practicing. Besides, it'll be fun practicing with you." The sentiment was returned with a shy smile from Foze.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jdT7Ak1u3
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwRnri8Vyv
"That's P'Pathn, isn't it?" Foze queried, following Inn's gaze.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxgxBI2YaS
"Yeah, I think so," Inn confirmed, his gaze now fixed on the senior. "Let's go greet him.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRA0migUZX
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZOqoRq1Gs
"Hi, Nong-Inn. How are you doing?" Pathn asked, making small talk as his friend quietly observed the newcomers.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7NzqINipW
"We're doing great, P'Pathn," Inn replied, Foze nodding along. "Just finished our first meeting with the music club."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuxKSofWTd
"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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsraiwwPxqN
"That's cool, congrats."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AhVfQyqmU
"Thank you, P'Pathn," Inn said, a playful, proud smile lighting up his features. "And also, thank you for helping us the other day.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASLs1XF2V4
Inn referred to an incident when Pathn had stepped in to prevent some seniors from harassing them.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaoJNHTK8S
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo2VvY3cHb
"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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTtISazRqv
“By the way, this is my friend, Ton.” he introduced, as Ton offered a friendly smile.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjUYv4zQUB
"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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuVL2rz5Yj
"We should get going now, P'Pathn. See you around," Inn said, his signature smile beaming brightly.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ5BZYsgRm
"Sure, see you guys,”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba1IkNxKZ4
Pathn responded in his typically reserved manner, yet not unfriendly. As Inn and Foze walked away, Ton turned to Pathn.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUO0gLwZlD
"So, that's Nong-Inn, your mentee, right?"
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKufNxAqmA
"Yes, he is,” Pathn confirmed, a hint of curiosity coloring his voice.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAhzQsqLgb
Ton leaned back, his eyes thoughtfully trailing after the juniors. "He seems friendly, pure, and nice."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA21QwdOk4
"I suppose so," Pathn agreed, nodding slowly. Ton grinned, nudging Pathn playfully.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rYw1oGjLc
"Take good care of him, Mr. Senior Mentor. That junior seems to be something special."
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmkpcpgh3P
Pathn simply looked at him, his expression a curious blend of bemusement and contemplation.
