As the final exam of the first semester approached, the school was filled with an air of tension and anxiety. Everyone was trying their best to prepare for the exam, studying late into the night and seeking help from teachers and classmates. Inn was no exception, and he was often seen in the library, surrounded by piles of books and notes. He sat at one of the long wooden tables in the library, his head buried in a thick textbook. He had been studying for hours, but he still felt unprepared for the upcoming exam. He let out a deep sigh and rubbed his tired eyes, glancing at the clock on the wall. It was so late, and the library was almost empty except for a few dedicated students.

Pathn, on the other hand, was busy with both his studies and Judo practice. Every evening, he would head to the dojo to train with his team. It was a grueling routine, but Pathn was determined to do well in both his academics and his sport.

One evening, after an intense Judo practice, Pathn was approached by a group of girls. They complimented him on his performance and his good looks, and some even mentioned how cute he and Inn looked together. One of Pathn's teammates overheard the conversation and grabbed the opportunity to tease him.

"Hey, Pathn, I heard that you and Nong-Inn were quite a pair," he said, snickering. "I bet that cute boy would have been banging under your muscular body and power.”

Pathn's face turned red with anger and embarrassment. He couldn't believe that his teammate would say something like that, especially in public. Without thinking, he punched the offender in the face, sending him crashing to the ground.

The other teammates quickly stepped in to break up the fight, but Pathn was still fuming, stood there with his fists clenched, his friends tried to calm him down.

"Pathn, man, what the hell? You can't just go around hitting people," one of them said, trying to reason with him.

"He had it coming," Pathn growled, his eyes still fixed on the teammate who had insulted him.

Another friend stepped forward, placing a hand on Pathn's shoulder. "Come on, let's go somewhere and cool off," he suggested.

Pathn shrugged him off. "I don't need to cool off. I need to teach that guy some respect," he said, taking a step forward.

But his friends stood firm, blocking his path. "No, Pathn. You need to calm down. Fighting isn't the answer," one of them said, his tone firm but gentle.

Pathn looked around, realizing that he was causing a scene. He took a deep breath, trying to steady his emotions. "Fine," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

His friends led him away from the crowd, and they found a quiet corner to sit and talk. Pathn's hands were still shaking with anger, but he tried to listen to his friends' words of wisdom.

"You can't let people get under your skin like that, Pathn. You're better than that," one of them said.

Another friend chimed in, "And you can't go around hitting people, man. You could get into serious trouble.”

Pathn nodded, knowing that they were right. "I know. I just... I can't stand it when people talk about Inn like that," he admitted, his voice softening.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bFgyMT52z
His friends looked at him with understanding. "We know, man.”

Pathn took a deep breath and walked to the man he had just punched. He knew that what he had done was wrong, but he couldn't help his anger in that moment. The man held his nose, which was now bleeding, and glared at Pathn.

"What the hell, Pathn? You can't just go around punching people!" he yelled.

Pathn sighed and looked down at that guy. "I'm sorry," he said, "I shouldn't have hit you. But I just couldn't take it anymore.”
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkhhEpzm0C
The man nodded, still holding his nose. "Yeah, I get it. I shouldn't have made that joke. I'm sorry too.”
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvrI2tiMkw
Pathn nodded back, relieved that the offender realizing the severity of his joke, that guy also apologized and promised never to say anything like that again.

The incident left Pathn feeling embarrassed and ashamed. He didn't want to be seen as someone who couldn't control his temper, especially in front of the people he admired. He tried to focus on his studies and his Judo practice, but he couldn't shake off the feeling that he had let everyone down.

Inn noticed that Pathn was acting differently and tried to talk to him about it. But Pathn remained distant and cold, unable to open up about his feelings. He didn't want to burden Inn with his problems, especially when Inn was also busy with his own exam preparations.

As the day of the exam drew nearer, the tension in the school only grew stronger. Everyone was anxious and nervous, hoping to do well and impress their teachers and classmates. Inn and Pathn both worked hard, but they couldn't help but feel the pressure and stress weighing down on them.

Despite the difficulties and challenges they faced, Inn and Pathn both managed to do well in their exams. They were relieved and proud of their achievements, but they knew that there were still more challenges to come.
