In the dimly lit corridor, Virat paused, hearing the distant laughter and chatter from the common room. He sighed, feeling a pang of jealousy as he realized Rahul, Harry, Jassi, Siraj, Kuldeep, Yuzi, Rishabh, and Shreyas were all gathered around Rohit, basking in his attention. They seemed to have decided to stick to Rohit, their beloved Ro Bhai, not wanting the new youngsters to monopolize his time.

Virat understood their motives; they just wanted to keep Ro's attention on them. Yet, despite understanding, he couldn't help but feel a little hurt and left out. The kids were ignoring him, and it stung more than he wanted to admit. He turned, deciding to retreat to his room, when he noticed a group of the  "Susth Murge" name given by sulking in a corner.

Dhruv, also known as DJ, Yashaswi, affectionately called Yashu, Shubman, whom he fondly called Shubhi, Ishan, nicknamed Ishu, along with Sarfaraz and Rinku, were sitting together, looking dejected. Their usual lively energy was replaced with a somber air, and it tugged at Virat's heart.

"What's going on here?" Virat asked, stepping into the room.

The youngsters looked up, surprise flickering in their eyes. DJ was the first to speak, his voice tinged with disappointment. "Ro Bhai isn't spending time with us. He's always with the others."

Yashu nodded in agreement, his expression mirroring DJ's. "We wanted to hang out with him too, but he's busy."

Shubhi sighed, glancing at Ishu and Sarfaraz. "It feels like we're being ignored."

Rinku, usually the quiet one, finally spoke up. "We just wanted to be part of the group."

Virat's heart softened at their words. He knew how it felt to be left out, and he couldn't bear to see them so downhearted. He smiled warmly, his eyes shining with determination. "Hey, come on now, don't be upset. How about we have our own fun?"

The youngsters looked at him, curiosity replacing their sadness. "What do you mean, Vi Bhai?" Ishu asked, his eyes widening slightly.

Virat grinned, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Well, we don't need Ro to have a good time. We can make our own fun. How about we play some games, maybe a little video game, and just hang out together?"

DJ's face lit up with excitement but he instantly remembered something and said, "Video game? Really? But Ro Bhai has strictly asked us not to play video games."

"Aur Panda ko main sambhal lunga," Virat said, nodding. "And after that, we can have a little party of our own. What do you say?"

Yashu's eyes sparkled with excitement. "I'm in!"

Shubhi and Sarfaraz exchanged glances before nodding enthusiastically. "Count us in," Shubhi said instantly clinging to Vi.

Rinku smiled shyly, nodding as well. "Me too."

"That's the spirit!" Virat exclaimed, clapping his hands. "Let's go have some fun!"

The youngsters cheered, their earlier gloom forgotten as they followed Virat out to the gaming room. As they played, laughed, and shared stories, Virat felt their spirits lifting. Seeing the smiles on their faces, the joy in their eyes, made him feel really happy, and it made him realize why Ro is so whipped for them.

Meanwhile, back in the common room, Rahul, Harry, Jassi, Siraj, Kuldeep, Yuzi, Rishabh, and Shreyas were all lounging around Rohit, who was enjoying the attention. They noticed the absence of the new youngsters and Virat, but it didn't bother them much—until Rahul, feeling grumpy and possessive, couldn't help but comment.

"Ro Bhai, look at your best friend here sticking and having junk food with them all," Rahul said, his voice tinged with irritation.

"He is giving them a party of ice cream, chole bhature, pizza, sandwich. He always scolds us for having junk food," Kuldeep added, his eyes narrowing in annoyance.
