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?”
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXgLK0TJeL
Inn responded, his eyes meeting Foze's in mutual understanding and excitement.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ySmtLFa2B
"Yeah, it's both of us, Foze and I," Inn confirmed, his voice filled with hope.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLvhqvfNM4
"We're in? Really? Yes! Thank you so much!"
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5uGdX3qcX
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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgNHb3t9xt
"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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRNxxJFrqd
"You guys got into the music club? That's huge!"
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFBIbSnpdj
Inn nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, P'Jap. It's super cool!"
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFU1w2WdSm
Jap's eyebrows raised in impressed surprise,
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHv71MIJBW
"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!”
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGVUdDe14u
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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoG3eH3V7M
"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."
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREmKGitFlK
Inn laughed and brushed off the compliment, "It's not like that, P'Jap. I'm just...me, still Inn."
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQNSPpTDQ2
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."
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulsm9ATy3O
The thought hadn't occurred to Inn before. He fell quiet, thoughtful for a moment before responding with a determined look,
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJxsUkTm7A
"Don't worry P'Jap, we'll still find the time to play basketball with you." Foze nodded in agreement.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7tY3U8dpM
"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!!"
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzJkBdVSck
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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2xMOIdJSy
"Looks like we're going to have to find a lot more time for practice,"
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUF6rHEIuO
Inn whispered to his friend thoughtfully, glancing around at the buzzing club room. Foze nodded, replying in a hushed tone, "Looks like it."
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Awj419azi
Inn, however, wasn't fazed. He flashed a radiant, charming smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3KA2GSEvj
"That's alright, I love practicing. Besides, it'll be fun practicing with you." The sentiment was returned with a shy smile from Foze.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX364o78PMx
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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t9HV5MohI
"That's P'Pathn, isn't it?" Foze queried, following Inn's gaze.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp8vKvXuLL
"Yeah, I think so," Inn confirmed, his gaze now fixed on the senior. "Let's go greet him.”
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ0Fyjr4TP
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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT9cfMSeje
"Hi, Nong-Inn. How are you doing?" Pathn asked, making small talk as his friend quietly observed the newcomers.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTj9LdR456
"We're doing great, P'Pathn," Inn replied, Foze nodding along. "Just finished our first meeting with the music club."
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs760t4L9q
"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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxl43mwtDs
"That's cool, congrats."
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4sqGntusa
"Thank you, P'Pathn," Inn said, a playful, proud smile lighting up his features. "And also, thank you for helping us the other day.”
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNl1cGIbIg
Inn referred to an incident when Pathn had stepped in to prevent some seniors from harassing them.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkYW8WQ45a
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM9rdBrgJ5
"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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIz3VVIman
“By the way, this is my friend, Ton.” he introduced, as Ton offered a friendly smile.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0HGM01pbz
"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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8OhOg9EI9
"We should get going now, P'Pathn. See you around," Inn said, his signature smile beaming brightly.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbxCpso4I7
"Sure, see you guys,”
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ351D7Wcovo
Pathn responded in his typically reserved manner, yet not unfriendly. As Inn and Foze walked away, Ton turned to Pathn.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07DqTN7E4k
"So, that's Nong-Inn, your mentee, right?"
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ798MOCWuC8
"Yes, he is,” Pathn confirmed, a hint of curiosity coloring his voice.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNDAxiJt7S
Ton leaned back, his eyes thoughtfully trailing after the juniors. "He seems friendly, pure, and nice."
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJmxYQbseV
"I suppose so," Pathn agreed, nodding slowly. Ton grinned, nudging Pathn playfully.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDTz86fncq
"Take good care of him, Mr. Senior Mentor. That junior seems to be something special."
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHye3M3vUd
Pathn simply looked at him, his expression a curious blend of bemusement and contemplation.
