"Do you want more sugar?" Lin Feng asked.
"Yes, please," Yuri answered with a bright smile on his face.
"No can't do, that is an unhealthy amount of sugar." Chen Ling, one of the eleven seniors said and snatched the sugar box from Lin Feng.
"He wants more, Ling." Lin Feng asserted with an eye-roll.
"He has five cubes already, for what? A single cup of coffee?" Chen Ling deadpanned eyeing Lin Feng with disapproval clear in his eyes.
"Do not look at me like that." Lin Feng snapped as the two seniors shared an intense eye contact battle.
Yuri who was seated cross-legged on one of the common room's couches with a cup of steaming coffee in his hands could only peer up at the brooding seniors with guilt gnawing his guts.
"I am sorry." Yuri quietly said with his head lowered.
Hearing the little one's voice, the duo snapped out of their hormonal duel and whipped their heads towards Yuri downcast figure.
"You are good." Chen Ling assured and sat beside Yuri to gently wrap his arms around Yuri's little frame.
"Your other senior is just behaving like a stupid poop." Chen Ling sweetly said, but the glare he sent Lin Feng's way said another thing.
"He asked for more, what do you want from me?!" Lin Feng exasperatedly questions, earning an eye-roll from Chen Ling.
"Don't always listen to what he wants, do what is best for him." Chen Ling said with a sigh and gently lifted Yuri from the couch.
"It's time for bed, goodnight." Chen Ling said, looking at Lin Feng in a way that said 'We will have this talk later' and left with the surprisingly compliant Yuri in his arms after Lin Feng wished the youngest goodnight.
"Chen Ling with his stupid 'motherly' instinct, I'm going to have an earful later." Lin Feng muttered and snorted at the end of his statement.
He dragged his feet towards the room he, unfortunately, shared with Chen Ling to prepare himself for what was coming at him when the latter got back from tucking Yuri in.

"Yuri, have you applied the sunscreen?" Yuri heard a voice from outside his door ask.
"Yes, senior," Yuri replied from his room and resumed scrolling through his phone as he lazily lay on his bed.
"Get your butt out here, Yuri." Yuri heard a voice that he knew was unmistakably Lin Feng's, holler at him.
"Fine." Yuri begrudgingly got up from his bed to meet his seniors in the common room.
"Here you go." A senior placed a straw hat on Yuri's head and squished his cheeks.
"Alright, let's get going." Lin Feng announced, and they all made their way to Sam's Honda Pilot and Lin Feng's sports car.
Eight seniors including Sam, rode in the Honda Pilot, while Yuri rode with Lin Feng and two other seniors in the sports car. Sam and Lin Feng drove the Honda Pilot and sports car respectively.
"What would you like to listen to?" Lin Feng asked Yuri who was seated in the passenger seat.
Lin Feng could see Chen Ling glare at him from the rearview mirror and he rolled his eyes at the excessive redhead who was seated in the back seat with another senior.
"I am not going to play WAP!" Lin Feng exasperatedly exclaimed, moving his arms in the air to get his point through, he sighed in defeat when he could no longer accommodate the sharp glare directed at him.
"Cut it out, you two." Zheng Wei, the senior who was beside Chen Ling said with boredom, slightly glaring at the bickering duo.
"I want to sit with Wei Gege." They all heard a small voice talk.
"What did you say, Yuri?" Lin Feng asked, switching his glare to a sweet smile.
"I want to sit with Wei Gege," Yuri replied, his voice an octave higher.
"Watch the road." Yuri almost hissed at the senior who was watching him with wide eyes instead of watching the road.
"Park." Zheng Wei commanded.
Lin Feng reluctantly parked and switched seats with Zheng Wei, now, the latter was behind the wheel.
Yuri gave out a sigh of contentment at the silence of the car. He rested his eyes and enjoyed a pleasant ride to the beach.
-
"Come here, Yuri!"
"You will get sunburned!"
"Whatever," Yuri grumbled and made his way to the seniors under the huge umbrella.
"What is the use of coming here if I don't get to play in the water?" Yuri asked with his arm crossed against his chest rebelliously.
"You have been playing in the water for five hours, now." A senior deadpanned with an unamused expression.
"Let's get going then." Yuri bit back and stumped his way to where the cars were parked on the private beach.
"Everyone, get your arses up, we are leaving!" Yuri distantly heard a senior holler.
"Ouch." Yuri winced when he felt a burn on his arm.
Yuri quickly made his way to the Honda Pilot and huddled himself to the furthest corner of the back seats to prevent his burn from being seen by any of the seniors.
He curled up in his seat when he heard them filling up the vehicle and wished he could disappear at that moment.
"Oh, Yuri is riding with us." Yuri heard a senior say in surprise as they made their way to sit beside him.
"Why are you all coddled up to yourself?" The senior questions.
Yuri could not answer and hugged his knees closer to himself as he felt multiple burns on his exposed thighs and legs because he was in super short shorts. He quietly hissed and felt his eyes watering and his lips lightly tremble, it hurts so bad.
"Is it because we did not let to get cooked under the sun?" He heard the same senior question, albeit nicely.
Yuri heard himself wince when the senior picked him up to place him on their lap, this action did not go unnoticed by the senior.
"Are you hurt?" The senior worriedly asked Yuri who still has his face buried in his knees.
