"Why are there so many people, hyung?" Jimin tugs on Seokjin's shirt.

"Because a lot of people want to come to the zoo, just like you do." 

"But we want to come to the zoo today so there shouldn't be any people today because the zoo is ours," Jimin puffs up his cheeks. 

"Have fun, guys," the person who brough them here, a man named Bang Sihyuk, grins at them. He wonders how safe it is to leave Seokjin in charge of the group of boys. "Take care of them, Seokjin. I'll see you here at five o'clock." 

Seokjin nods. Already, Jimin and Taehyung have run forward to the first enclosure--the lion's cage. The lions look up sleepily at the two screaming and excited boys. 

"Lion, Taehyung-hyung, look!" Jungkook gurgles.

"You look like the lion, Taehyung," Yoongi translates. 

"Yay! Lion!" Taehyung grins, and before he can climb the fence, Seokjin pulls on his shirt. 

"No climbing, Taehyung," Seokjin says, pulling on Taehyung's hand and leading them around the lion enclosure. "There are other animals--"

"MONKEY!" Jimin squeals, and Taehyung breaks free from Seokjin's grasp. The two of them run over to the monkey enclosure, Seokjin picking up baby Jungkook and running over to them, with Namjoon, Hoseok and Yoongi jogging behind to catch up. Jimin and Taehyung lean against the enclosure's fence, taking in every single detail of the monkey.

"Hey, look, the monkey...looks like it's gonna puke," Hoseok says, before the monkey turns towards Taehyung and spits out a mixture of saliva, digestive juices and banana. Jimin burst into a fit of giggles and laughs as Taehyung starts bawling. Seokjin immediately rushes over, leaving Jungkook in Yoongi's care. The zookeepers run up to Seokjin and Taehyung and apologize, promising a new zoo-themed T-shirt for Taehyung and a cleanup. Seokjin nods as he asks Yoongi to stay with the rest of the boys as he goes with the zookeepers and Taehyung.

"It's okay," Seokjin hugs Taehyung after Taehyung has changed and is still crying. Taehyung is holding a stuffed lion's toy that the zookeepers gave him to make it up. He holds Taehyung's lion toy in front of him. "See, V-lion says hi." He waves the lion's limb in an attempt to get Taehyung to stop crying...and it does the trick. Taehyung smiles and grabs the lion from Seokjin, hugging it. "I'm going to name you V-lion!" 

Seokjin takes Taehyung's hand and leads the toddler back to the monkey's enclosure to find...the boys gone.

He knew it was a mistake to leave them alone.

"Oh no!" Seokjin looks down at Taehyung. If Bang Sihyuk finds out...

"Come on, let's go find your hyungs and Jungkook, okay?" 

Taehyung nods as the two venture further into the zoological gardens.

*********************************

"Hyung, where are we?" Jimin clings onto Namjoon's arm. 

All Namjoon remembers is that a huge crowd of tourists came by the monkey's enclosure and then Yoongi-hyung, Jungkook and Hoseok were gone. 

"We're going to look for Yoongi-hyung, Jungkook and Hoseok," says Namjoon. Suddenly, Jimin runs over to another enclosure. "Hyung! Birds!" 

"Birds?" Namjoon looks over to find a bird enclosure filled with dozens of parakeets and macaws. 

"I want one," Jimin tugs on Namjoon's sleeve. "Hyung, I want a bird!" 

"No, Seokjin-hyung isn't going to allow a bird in the house," Namjoon shakes his head. 

A zookeeper approaches Jimin, "You look interested in the birds. Do you want to feed them?" 

Namjoon realizes there's no stopping Jimin when he has that sparkle in his eyes. Jimin nods so vigorously, Namjoon swears that Jimin's head will fall off his shoulders.

"Yay!" Jimin follows the zookeeper and Namjoon walks behind them to make sure Jimin doesn't get into trouble.

"Namjoon?" Namjoon hears a familiar voice behind him, and he finds Seokjin with Taehyung in tow.

"Jimin's gonna go feed the birds," Namjoon says. 

"Yah," Seokjin mumbles. "Fine, let's feed the birds." He watches as the zookeeper hands a bowl of what looks to be honey and bird seed over to Jimin. Jimin grasps the bowl happily and begins his walk in the aviary, with his hyungs close behind. Seokjin'd rather wait for Jimin to finish feeding the birds than leave Namjoon here with the Double Trouble and risk losing them again. A lory lands on Jimin's arm and begins eating from the bowl. Jimin squeals in delight as the bird sips at the honey in the bowl and pecks at the seeds.

"Yah! Get them off me!" Namjoon cries, as a bird has landed on his backpack. Seokjin, laughing, lets the bird climb onto his arm and over to Jimin, where the bird begins to eat the honey and seeds in the bowl.

When the food has been exhausted, Jimin and company return the bowl to the zookeepers and now, led by Seokjin, they begin their search of the final three--Yoongi, Jungkook and Hoseok.

**********************************

Yoongi looks down at his camera that he sneaked out from the house. He wanted to take pictures of the animals but Bang Sihyuk didn't trust him around a camera. He grins smugly to himself. He looks at the photographs he took--of monkeys, flamingoes, lions, tigers and even camels and emus. He didn't know what they were--emus were just a bird to him and camels were weird creatures with backpacks growing out of their back.

"Hyung!" 

Hoseok stumbles over to Yoongi, face a mask of terror and tears, Jungkook in tow. 

"What happened?" Yoongi asks, putting his camera back in his bag. 

"T-The snake...hyung~!" 

"Snake?" Yoongi grins, already delighting in the fact that he has a new target for his camera.

"N-No! The snake wanted to eat me!" Hoseok bawls, hands balled up and wiping at his eyes. "Hyung! The snake wanted to eat me!" 

"It won't," Yoongi says, huffing at how ridicuous his dongsaeng is. "The snake is in the enclosure..." 

"Dear zoogoers, there is a snake on the loose. I repeat--a snake out of its enclosure. Please remain calm and watch out for a snake." 

Yoongi grins maliciously. Imagine if he can capture this on camera!

"Hyung, I don't wanna stay here anymore. I want Seokjin-hyung!"

Jungkook starts crying, clinging onto Hoseok's leg. Although the area they are in is quite deserted, Yoongi hears a scream. He jumps literally five feet into the air and he grabs Jungkook's hand and Hoseok's arm, looking around. There are screams coming from a pathway just down the road and a throng of people are running towards them, their terrified faces scaring the boys even more.

"Are you lost?" a zookeeper approaches the boys. 

"Nope," Yoongi says confidently. "We're waiting for our hyung." 

"Why don't you wait for your hyung outside?" the zookeeper says, taking Jungkook's hand. "There is a snake running around, you know." 

"I wanna take a picture of that snake," Yoongi shakes his head.

The zookeeper smiles, "You can take a picture of the snake when we catch it, okay? For now, we need to bring you boys outside." 

"Hyung, let's go," Hoseok pleads with his hyung. Yoongi looks at Jungkook hen says, "Fine, okay, let's go." 

**********************************************

"Hyung's there!" Taehyung points at a group of three boys amidst a crowd of people. 

"Yoongi-hyung!" cries Jimin, running over to Yoongi, Hoseok and Jungkook. Seokjin runs over too, and picks up Jungkook, the two-year-old somewhat asleep.

"I wanted to take a picture of the snake," Yoongi crosses his arms over his chest, pouting. 

"Boys!" Seokjin hears a familiar voice. It's Bang Sihyuk-hyung!

"Thank goodness you're alright." He hugs the boys in turn. "I never knew something like that would happen. I guess we'd better get you all back to the house, hmm?" 

"Yeah," Seokjin nods, as the boys start describing their day at the zoo. 

"Hey, hyung," Yoongi motions to Seokjin. He shows Seokjin a picture of the flamingoes. "I know you like pink things, so I saw this pink bird and it reminds me of hyung."

"I've got to come see these birds next time."
