It's too short! Sorry!

The following week it happened, Woollim Entertainment's strategy plan. Cue commercial!

*Fade in* 

Woollim Ent.'s logo appears on the screen accompanied by mysterious background effects, "Pre-Debut: ‘You Are My Oppa’ - Infinite learns how to be gentle with young girls’ hearts. 2011: ‘Birth Of A Family’ - Infinite promotes the adoption of abandoned, innocent shelter dogs." 

*Fade out*

"Infinite. Next project!"

The screen then pixelates and fades to a blurry image, which is gradually accompanied by the sound of a baby giggling. Slowing this image unblurs to reveal Infi in her white fluffy doggie pajamas. Hammy’s bushy tail in (once again). Noteworthy, there's small print on the bottom right of the screen, "Curtsey of Kim Myungsoo."

"To tame the heart of a baby, and practice childrearing. Infinite will compete for the affection of a Baby Infi!"

*Explosion effects* (Because ya know Woollim gotta be dramatic). 

"This summer Woollim Entertainment and Child Protection Services collaborate to promote adoption and encourage fostering youths in need of love and care!"

The teaser goes on to detail Baby Infi's ambiguous orphan status. Adding, that the boys chose her - after Woollim staff contacted CPS with the idea. The latter part being a blatant lie, but it is true that the boys "chose" her. Following, the teaser claims that upon completion of the show's run, if Infi's parents do not contact the proper authorities, Infi will officially be up for adoption. 

The screen shifts to a group shot of Infinite, "We are Infinite Daddies!" the members shout cheerfully in unison. In closing, a clip of Infi giggling while listening to E.X.I.D’s “Are You Hungry, ” is shown. The members watching her in stupefied awe.

*Flashback to Woollim's damage control meeting the previous week* 

“So we raise her for four months then give her away..?” Myungsoo questioned.

“Just like with Jiae?" Yeol whined.

The member's concerns and melancholy obviously disregarded by staff -  in favor of demolishing anymore career damaging rumors.

"At least we don't have to hide her anymore..." Hoya argued.

"Alright, here's how we plan this will go," their quickly acquired producer started, "We’ll rotate members on a daily basis, starting with Gyu. That way each member will get plenty of one-on-one time with the baby. Every cycle will last one week. We'll also plant various hidden cameras throughout the dorm so that Infi, and all of you, can move around casually - to provide everyday footage. When it's your day to shoot, the cameras will activate inside of your apartment. In short, we'll film it like a fusion of "Hello Baby" and Superman is Back."

"Wait, you're not putting cameras in the bathroom!" Yeol interrupted.

"No of course not, and everything will be filtered before final productions so that nothing too personal slips by," Hyoan reassured the boys.

"You mean, no cameras in the bathroom outside of Infi's bathtime, don't you?" Gyu hinted. Of course, every baby-daddy show needs cute "bathtime" footage. 

Gyu continued, "So, the cameras won't record on our free days?" 

"No, they will switch off, but do not remove them."

The members slowing nodded, feeling as if they didn't have a choice in the matter. That is until Myungsoo's irritation spilled over. 

“But this is bull!" Myungsoo suddenly shouted, "Why do we have to film separately? We all know that Inspirit want to watch our ships, and Yeol and I are really dating so why can’t we work as teams?" Adding, "Hoya and Dongwoo are dating too (well, actually they're still pretending to only be best friends)! And, then there's these two knuckleheads!" pointing to Gyu and Woohyun. "Why can’t we get REAL practice for when we adopt our own children?" 

Myungsoo scoffed, seeing all four of 's faces turn either pale white, or enraged. Gyu. Gyu was the one enraged. Near threw his chair at the poor kid, too, "I'm am NOT dating Woohyun. You little !"

Yet amongst the impending chaos, Yeol shrieked in joy, "Yes! Myungsoo's right! Let's pair up instead! That way we can each have Infi for an entire week if we want!"

"Ya, what about me!?" Jong suddenly interrupted. "I can't take care of a baby for a whole week all by myself! Besides, do you two want Inspirit to find out that you're actually dating each other? This is a complete invasion of our privacy!" 

"Anything too revealing will be filtered out, right? We're just raising Infi together, as friends," Hoya almost silently commented, honestly liking this new version better. It meant spending more time with Dongwoo. *cough cough* 

"How, are we suppose to film separately if we live together, anyways?" Dongwoo realized, "Hoya and I share an apartment, so i'll naturally be in the shot."

"Yeah, and knowing you," Woohyun joined in, "you won't be able to keep your hands to yourself every second of Hoya's awkward child-raising!" He laughed, already imagining Hoya overwhelmed expression - begging Dongwoo to help him.

"Ok..Ok.." the producer considered this alternative layout, "Alright, it's settled, we'll shoot in teams!"

"Yes!" Myungsoo glomped onto Yeol, "I love it!"

Dongwoo lightly hit Hoya on the back, "We'll do fine, buddy. In fact, we'll be Infi's best daddies!" He laughed. 

Meanwhile, Gyu chewed on his bottom lip in deep consideration. He could use Woohyun as his minion, as in make him do all the dirty work. "Fine, i'm in." Beside him, Woohyun couldn't detach his eyes from Gyu's mouth, "Ah, oh yeah," he snapped out of his trance and teased Gyu, "Congratulations, we're officially parents. Oh, whoops, we forgot to get married first!" *slap* "Ooowww~" 

Dejected, Jong sighed, "but who do I work with?" he asked in defeat.

"Hmm, " the producer thought to himself, "We'll give Sungjong extra help on his weeks, or we can consider guests parents. A mom, perhaps!"

"A mom! pair me up with moms!" Jong jumped at the prospect of working with female celebrities. Not that he hadn't accidentally admitted to being gay before, but he loved his unnies.

"Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom" EXID's "Are You Hungry" is Infi's favorite song.

I'll have the next chapter up soon. I took a short break because my work schedule flipped again. @.@ But, I'm trying to write this fic quickly - for fun. Something to cure my writer's anxiety. I hope that it's enjoyable to read, and not too confusing. I'm not proofreading too much because then this fic will feel like a chore. Yeah...honestly, I've written too many academic papers, and each one the joy of writing out of me. I want it back. T.T

But anyways, if there's something too confusing in my fic please don't be afraid to ask me to fix it. ^.^
