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.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAs0kguIzLWb
Pathn looked up from his phone, his eyebrows raised in surprise. "No, I haven't. What's that?”
240Please respect copyright.PENANAnFmvFzRqOY
"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."
240Please respect copyright.PENANA25QK6ZFJ9V
Pathn nodded thoughtfully. "Thanks for telling me about it, Inn. I'll look into it.”
240Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2Poua3co8
They chatted for a few more minutes, discussing their plans for the evening. Pathn asked if Inn wanted to play basketball later.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAW7aaP4xhK3
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.”
240Please respect copyright.PENANAel6Hve49ik
Inn nodded, looking understanding. "Yeah, definitely. We can play basketball next week or something," he said, trying to cheer Pathn up.
240Please respect copyright.PENANApRMIMdc65v
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.
240Please respect copyright.PENANA9Vusq7CEKI
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.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAS3zYF3iQip
"So, how's it like playing basketball with Inn?" Ton asked.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAQNMdfzshOc
"It's great, he's really good. And he's a nice guy," Pathn replied, trying to sound nonchalant.
240Please respect copyright.PENANA9NIIgBuDk0
Ton raised an eyebrow. "Is that all? He's not hot or anything?”
240Please respect copyright.PENANABUd8y3uOFd
Pathn rolled his eyes. "I don't know, I don't really think about that kind of stuff.”
240Please respect copyright.PENANAsDmmEGo9ya
Ton grinned mischievously. "Come on, don't tell me you've never looked at him and thought, damn, he's fine.”
240Please respect copyright.PENANAnybNUJF3Jq
Pathn chuckled, feeling slightly uncomfortable. "No, I really haven't. I'm not interested in that kind of thing.”
240Please respect copyright.PENANA4HhD1X6Q5M
Ton shrugged. "Suit yourself, man. But just remember, it's not a bad thing to appreciate good looks.”
240Please respect copyright.PENANAro2LohXdQZ
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.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAiBG7qmE4GM
"Hey, bro. How was your day?" Pim asked.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAP0kgfMlFwa
"It was good. Just had a tough judo practice," Pathn replied.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAeYDnUF1IcY
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.”
240Please respect copyright.PENANACWJvJVwbFd
Pathn grinned. "Sure thing. Let's get to work.”
240Please respect copyright.PENANAVwIx3dkIQb
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
