PART 1. I definitely have to split this one up. Also, my team lead at work really has to stop screwing up our schedules. I worked 6 days straight (again). That's why I'm late. T.T

"So..you like earrings? Should we pierce your ears?" Hoya asked as Infi innocently stared back at him.

"..." *awkward cricket sounds*

"Are--are you still hungry?" He remembered that Dongwoo was feeding her when he first arrived, "Here," he moved the spoon towards .

"Nu-uh..not hungry" Infi dodged, "don't want."

"No?" Hoya tried a second time but she moved again. "Sleepy? No?"

He put the spoon in the sink and re-sealed the food container before putting it in the fridge. "Now..I guess we...?" He scratched the back of his head. "Ahh, what's taking hyung so long? Is it that bad?...I should put you to bed." He fidgeted with his hands - reaching towards her then pulling them back, "I..I..Please don't bite or pull on me...ye..Promise?"

Infi couldn't figure this guy out. He's always acting funny. He's always smelly and sweaty, too. She tried her best to interpret him though, "You wanna play?" she guessed, sticking her arms out and squealing at him, "Pick me up!"

Hoya jumped backward, "Ah what was that!? Did you say something? Are you trying to tell me something? Are you promising me that you won't bite me?"

*crickets chirping*

*****

The next day everyone loaded up into a company van and went to the zoo owned by the same company as the 'Our Ocean Friends' Aquarium'.

Woohyun laughed while bouncing Infi on his lap, "Why are we even going to the zoo? We are the Zoo! Yeol's a giraffe, Hoya's a playful but shy tiger, Soo's a cuddly koala, Dongwoo's a flamboyant peacock, Jongie's a grumpy hippo and Gyu's a majestic sleeping lion. While I'm the star attraction. The y wolf!" He struck a cool pose.

*lightning strikes* "A grumpy hippo? Is that a stab at my demeanor or my weight?" Jong sent death vibes in Woohyun's direction.

"You're a stick, Jong!" Myungsoo quickly grabbed the knife out of Jong's hand and pulled him into a hug to keep him from killing Woohyun.

"Ummm both, I guess," Woohyun hid behind Yeol, "Should I have chosen an alligator?"

Next thing he knew he heard Infi babble some nonsense as she rolled off of his lap - to crawl back towards Dongwoo, "I'm demoting you." It took awhile but even Infi's getting sick of Woohyun's cheesy antics.

"Ha, you got dumped!" Yeol cheered.

"Noooo, baby come back!" Woohyun pleaded, "I can change, I swear!" he staged his own theatrical play.

*slap* Gyu hit him again, "Stop it!"

"I'm sorry."

*****

"Tally-Ho!" Yeol screamed leading the pack through the entrance. Dongwoo shortly behind him carrying Infi. Followed by Gyu, Woohyun, Myungsoo and Jong. And lastly, Hoya holding the diaper bag. No stroller though. They'd decided to take turns carrying Infi, instead. 

"Woohoo~!" Woohyun shouted in glee, "I want to see the gorillas first! No, the bears! Panda bears!"

"Yes, Let's find the pandas!" Jong agreed.

"No! Infi loves turtles. Let's head towards the tortoise exhibit!" Myungsoo objected, only to be swiftly cut off by Yeol yelping in shock, "Whoops!" 

"What's wrong!?"

"Did we feed Tiny, Cosmo, Twinkie, Theodore, Chimichanga, Yeolru and Soo Junior this morning!?" Infi's fish.

Myungsoo glared at him, "The staff fed them.." Because Yeol forgot. "Turtles first."

"Ok..tortoises first," Gyu laid the map out on the bench table, "That means we go down this path, so we'll pass crocodiles, flamingos, otters, hippos, a komodo dragon...And, then we can head towards the primate section on the other end. Ok, let's go."

*****

Into the Water Friends' Exhibit.
 

Otters:

Dongwoo knelt down close to the enclosure, "Look Infi, it's your otter friends."

Myungsoo knelt down close behind him, camera ready.

"Yeah, you remember them right?" Myungsoo leaned down and taped the glass, "You met them at the aquarium."

"My water doggies~" Infi giggled as one of the otters energetically swam towards them while playing with a ring-shaped toy.

"Wow, you do remember? You're smiling baby girl," Yeol clapped for her.

Alligators:

"Waa! We don't have to show her the alligators!" Dongwoo protested in fear.

"Oh relax, they're not that scary. See?" Woohyun dangerously dangled his upper body over the enclosure, "They can't get us even if I do this," making Infi laugh. "Haha, they're just funny looking reptiles with big long snapping mouths!"

Gyu tapped Myungsoo on the shoulder, "Make sure you capture the idiot's death on film."

"Why? You need proof that you didn't push him?"

"Ooook," Hoya grabbed Woohyun and dragged him backward, "That doesn't mean we need to piss them off."

Flamingos:

"Look at the pretty pink birds!" Dongwoo bounced a giggling Infi in his arms again, "They're so cute, like you!"

"Pssst" Jong whispered into Hoya's ear, "Throw Yeol over the fence?"

"Call," Hoya snickered, sneaking underneath Yeol before slapping him on the and flipping him over the wall and whistling, "Run giraffe run!" Soon enough the unwilling intruder was being chased around by a flock of ticked off flamingos.

Gyu'd only took his eyes off of the kids for 5 minutes (to check his phone), "What the!? Cut it out! You'll get us kicked out!" He scolded them. "Yeol, Just climb back over the wall, you idiot! Why are you running in circles!?" 

Turtles/tortoises:

"Omo Omo" Myungsoo ran towards the exhibit, "We found them! Infi, we found them! Remember Master Roshi? This is his sis--wait," he read the placard, "brother!"

Dongwoo leaned Infi forward, "Wow? It's his brother! He's soooo big!" The two cooed over the creature, with Infi.

Next to the large tortoise was a lake full of smaller turtle breeds, "I wonder why they're all sitting on that log?" Woohyun asked.

"They're sleeping.." came Gyu's no- response.

"Oh..can we wake them up?"

"No," Gyu didn't even look up from his phone - taking a selca with the cute little creatures.

Hippos:

"Oh my god! A baby!" Hoya excitedly pointed towards an adult female's leg where a baby hippo was splashing around. 

"Aww, cute! She's trying to catch an insect in !" Dongwoo cooed. 

"I've never seen that before. A new squishy!" Infi cheered.

"Uwah! That's right Infi, it's a baby like you!" Myungsoo rubbed her cheeks and laughed, "Oh, she's so cute and chubby~."

"I wonder how much they eat per night?" Woohyun questioned, bending down to read the placard depicting several hippo facts.

"I don't know," Yeol grabbed his ankles and playfully flipped him over the edge, "Let's measure it using Woohyun's weight as the ruler! They love fresh meat!" 

"No No! Let's not! Let's not!" Woohyun screamed in terror.

Jong nodded, "But do we know Woohyun's accurate weight?" he pulled out his calculator.

Meanwhile, Woohyun frantically waved his arms hysterically, as he thanked the heavens that Yeol had a sturdy grip on his ankles, "Come on guys, don't feed me to the hippos, please. Why do I even have to beg you? Hoya's the one who threw you into the flamingo pen!"

*cough* Hoya quietly backed away from the scene before he joined Woohyun.

"Alright, that's enough!" Gyu's voice rang out as he glowered at the two, "We all know that you're not really going to drop him in there. Now stop it!" 

"..Fine.." Yeol pulled his hyung back to safety.

"Thank you! Thank you, hyung!" Woohyun glomped his unwilling savior.

"Get off of me!"

*****

"Ahh," Dongwoo groaned as they ventured into the primate exhibits, "...Hyunnie's right. You are getting heavier."

"My turn!" Yeol snatched Infi up and spun around with his arms stretched out, "You're mine now!"

"No, she isn't!" Myungsoo stole the infant from his grasp, "Not if you're going to act recklessly like that!"

"But--but.."

"No buts!" Myungsoo kept her close to her chest.

"Yeah, you shouldn't do that. This isn't the Lion King!" Jong added, "Besides if you get her dizzy she'll throw up."

Behind them, Hoya rubbed his neck wondering how Yeol always put up with Myungsoo snapping at him like that. Surely love wasn't excuse enough, and Myungsoo must've known what he was getting into...dating a man-child. So why was he always getting on his case?

"Oh come on, I wasn't going to hurt her! I had a strong grip on her," Yeol begged, "Just like earlier!" He jabbed Woohyun with his elbow.

"No!" Myungsoo stormed off.

"You tried to kill me!" 

"So did Sungjong!" Yeol reminded Woohyun.

Chimpanzees:

"Did you know that chimps are as smart as a young child?" Jong asked everyone.

"They are?" Hoya cocked his eyebrow as Dongwoo back hugged him - seeking out more skinship now that he no longer had Infi.

"Yeah, studies show that they're as intelligent as Woohyun."

That's it, Woohyun was tossing him in with the gorillas.

Gorillas:

"Come here, you," Woohyun grabbed Jong by his collar and waistband, "Time to make new friends." He threw Jong over the edge.

"Dude, What the !?" Dongwoo shrieked, "Jongie are you alive? Did they eat you yet!?"

"Great..." Myungsoo coughed, "Now they'll make him their ruler, and he'll come back with a vengeance..."

"No, they won't!" Jong grabbed onto a metal bar and pulled himself back up, "You son of a--." Death was coming for him.

"Hyung, you ok?" Woohyun snapped out of his daydream.

"Oh yeah, yeah. I'm good. Just wondering how much force is exerted by a gorilla's fist."

"Shall we measure it?" Jong cocked his eyebrow.

"No.. no I'm not curious anymore."

Baboons:

Yeol jumped around imitating the creatures, "Look Infi, I'm a baboon!"

"..At least he knows..." Gyu mumbled before walking ahead, "Why don't you jump down there and have a family reunion. I believe it's long overdue..."

"I heard that!" Yeol called back at him.

Gritting his teeth, Dongwoo glanced at Myungsoo, "Aren't you going to defend him?"

Nope, Myungsoo nonchalantly walked off following Gyu.

Bush babies:

"Omo I found another baby!" Jong pointed towards the bush baby cage and showed Infi the picture on the poster. Infi's eyes dilated at the sight, "I want it."

"But, where is it?" Gyu asked, scanning the cage up and down.

"Maybe it's sleeping," Yeol walked around the cage, "Oh, there you are! Baby, bring her over here."

Myungsoo scurried over and showed the cute little creature to her, "Wow, who's cuter? Infi or the bush baby?" He joked.

"Bush baby," Gyu shot out without missing a beat, "Haha I'm kidding." 

"Really, I think it's kind of ugly," Hoya confessed.

"It's kind of creepy looking..." Dongwoo stayed back.

Lemurs:

"These things are creepy too," Dongwoo coward behind Hoya.

"What's so menacing about them?" Jong inquired.

"Their eyes and those freaky little hands," Dongwoo shivered.

Hoya chuckled, wrapping his arm around his hyung, "Don't worry i'll protect you."

"Tch..smooth," Woohyun snickered into Gyu's ear, "Ho's putting the moves on Dongwoo."

"Get off me!" Gyu pushed him away, "and stop taking every opportunity you can just to touch me."

"Alright, I get it.." Woohyun backed off like a dejected puppy. 

In any case, Myungsoo avoided the drama by walking ahead of everyone else - with an ecstatic Infi, ignorant of all things bad in this world.

"Hwwaah," Myungsoo playfully gasped, "We found another one, and look at this big fluffy tail. It's so soft!" Infi squealed while on her fingers.

*****

"Alright, hand her over. I don't trust any of you," Gyu ordered upon crossing into the safari section of the zoo, "If one of you wants to get eaten alive that's your decision, but you're not taking our baby with you."

"But hyung, i'm not tired," Myungsoo protested.

"Give her to me," he repeated.

"But, I'm not doing anything! It's mostly Woohyun and Yeol acting up!"

"I don't care, i'm the leader."

"Fine.." Myungsoo conceded, why'd he have to get punished too?

Antelopes:

"See hyung, it's not dangerous here," Myungsoo complained.

"Yeah, they're just cute little helpless antelopes," Dongwoo pouted.

Maybe inviting everyone along was a bad idea. He could probably cut the tension with one of those antelopes' antlers, but Dongwoo refused to let this day go down in infamy. "Did you know that an antelope's horns are made of bone?" He opted to distract everyone with 'fun facts' written on the display sign, "There are many species of antelopes including gazelles. Ooh ooh, let's see how many we can find!" He threw his arm around Myungsoo - his first unwilling participant.

"I see at least three, I think,"  Myungsoo tried.

Hoya frowned, catching on, "They're all really cute, too!" Yep, he couldn't tell a single one a part, "What the next exhibit?"

"The rhino enclosure is next," Gyu responded, "Let's get going."

"Aww," Yeol pouted, trying to fit in one last selca - without getting an antelope's instead of it's head

Rhinos:

As they reached the rhino exhibit they noticed a large metal crate sitting along the rest station (bathrooms/food)

"I wonder what's in there?" Yeol asked.

"Who knows.." Hoya shrugged it off.

"Oh! I see one!" Gyu excitedly ran towards the wall, "Whoah, he's so big!" showing the rhino to Infi.

She looked down at it thinking, "What a strange looking creature.." then turned her head to look back at Gyu quizzically.

"What? It's called a rhino?" Gyu told her.

"Rhino?" She mentally categorized the beast as a what-cha-ma-call-it. "That's a weird face.." She scrunched her face up - attempting to imitate it.

"Whoah, what? What's that face?" Gyu chuckled before realizing that Myungsoo was distracted, "Ya! Myungsoo, you missed it!" 

"Huh?" Soo looked up from taking pictures of another rhino.

"You missed Infi's cute face just now."

Myungsoo gasped, "What!? I did!? Make her do it again!"

"I can't do that. You missed it!"

"What'd she do?"

"She scrunched her face up like this!" Gyu copied her.

*snap* Myungsoo snapped the photo of Gyu instead, "Ha!"

"Ya! You little!" Gyu shouted.

"!" Hoya laughed pointing out the fact that Gyu can't even kill him right now because he's holding Infi.

"Waawaaha!" *crack-crash* Dongwoo suddenly erupted into a fit of distress behind them. "Oww," he rubbed the throbbing sore on the back of his head, as he heard Hoya calling, "Are you ok?"

"What just happened? Did he trip?" Myungsoo asked.

*creak*

Gyu was about to ask the same thing, but what came out instead was, "Uhh Dongwoo, get up very slowly and walk away..."

"Huh?" he groaned before looking behind him, "Holy crap, Ostrich!!" he cried and set off running for dear life. 

"Damn, that thing runs fast.." Woohyun gulped, "You think he'll be alright?"

"...At least it's not a rhino..." Myungsoo suggested.

"..."

"What? I mean, shouldn't we count our blessings?"

"I'm calling this one in," Jong phoned the Zoo's emergency helpline, "Hello, my friend needs help. No, he's not inside an exhibit. No, no, rest assured we are dealing with a reckless idiot here. It's just that he tripped and collided with an unattended crate next to the rhino exhibit, and now he's being chased by an angry ostrich." Jong paused, "Uh huh, uh huh. He's running in zig zags around the park. Oh wait, It chased him up a tree now. We'll wait here."

"...Man, we must have horrible luck with large birds..." Yeol duly noted.

"..."

Twenty minutes later. Dongwoo heaved deep breaths, "Oh God, that was exhilarating. I don't think i'll need to exercise for an entire week."

"You see, this is why I don't trust you all to stay safe!" Gyu used his leader voice.

Zebras:

"Look at the pretty horsies!" Yeol cheered - refusing to let the mood impact Infi's first zoo experience.

"Aren't they great!? You like horsies right?" Woohyun asked while taking Infi's hand, "What if daddy buys you one? Do you want one?"

Jong smacked the back of Woohyun's head, "You are not buying her a horse! Who's going to take care of it!? They're expensive!"

Gyu rolled his eyes while the others argued. Everyone for except Hoya, that is.

"Infi, do you want a horse?" Gyu asked her. No reason they couldn't buy her a toy horse. Well, actually she already had one.

"Umm," Hoya pressed his lips together, "guys."

"Yeah?" Gyu asked.

"Huu~" Hoya exhaled, building up his courage before bluntly stating, "."

"..?" Yeol turned to glanced quizzically at him.

"Yeah.."

"Oh god!" Gyu shouted, swiftly covering Infi's eyes as a male zebra mounted a female.

"Pfft.."

*snickers*

"They're getting it on."

"Oh dearie.."

*O.O*

"Oh God..pfft" Woohyun fell over, bursting into a fit of laughter. Soon everyone else followed suit. All seven members rolling in laughter - exploding all of that previous thick tension.

Yeol even took the chance to sting Dongwoo, "Ya Dongwoo, stop laughing you'll alert your fellow hyenas to our location!" 

"HA! hahaha!"

Elephants:

"Oh man, I hope we don't see any more huge , " Woohyun pinched Infi's cheek, "That's R-rated."

Giraffes:

"Hello! hello hello hello hello" Yeol called out to his tall brethren - feigning an echo for laughter, "Can you hear me me me me from over here here here-- Oww!" *konk* This time Hoya hit him, "They're right next to us!"

"I know, but i've been saving that joke all day!" Yeol whined.

Meanwhile, Infi curled against Gyu's chest, "Why's this monster so big? Stay away! I don't like you!" trying to hide as one of the giraffes' brought his head up to the railing.

"Oh?" Myungsoo rubbed her back, "Are the giraffes' scary?" he asked, "Don't be afraid, they're nice."

"Waa~" Dongwoo leaned over to soothe her, too, "He's just hungry. He wants to you," he laughed, "like a puppy!" 

"Ya!" Gyu scolded him.

"I'm just kidding," Dongwoo chuckled as he held out a leaf for the animal.

Next stop our Feline Friends, Forest Friends and the petting zoo! Go go go!

I know, not my best work, but sneak peek: psst Hoya gets abandoned in the petting zoo.

Woohoo! 51 subscribers! Thank you!  ʕ≧ᴥ≦ʔ  ต( ິᵒ̴̶̷̤ ﻌ ᵒ̴̶̷̤ )ິ ♬ Yeol's so happy he's dancing around the living room - only wearing his hot pink boxers. Oh God, Dongwoo's joining him..in those god awful pig boxers from Sesame Player.
