This fic was written as part of the GoldenEXO Fest! You can find the masterlist of all the other fics here! I claimed prompt #170:

 

"Chanyeol, King of the Chimps. Too used to the jungle, now finds himself in love with science researcher, Byun Baekhyun." 

 

This was not the original prompt I chose, because I ended up switching about halfway through the round. My original idea what getting too big for me to handle xD I hope that my prompter will realise their prompt was claimed at some point xD I don't think they were ever informed tbh hahaha~ This prompt challenged me quite a lot, as you all know how much I love my realism ヽ(*>∇<)ノ   I'm afraid that if I were to write a sequel (which I won't), I think it would be quite depressing uwahhh~ Anyways, I hope you enjoy this fic! Thank you to the people who commented on it during the fest! ♥

 

Please forgive me for any inaccuracies or misrepresentation in this fic. I did not have time to do extensive research so I was only able to cover the basics!

Chapter 1: Omg I loved this! Tarzan au chanbaek is such an interesting idea. I loved xingdae as the comic relief and Baekhyun who’s just constantly done with their shenanigans LOL. The humor peppered throughout felt very organic even in the dramatic parts of the story. Poor Yeol though, I wish things didn’t have to end that way with the gorillas :(((

I've read this like 4 times, I wish there was a second chapet where yeol doesn't fits the human world and tries his best, like tarzan 2 but actually good edition

Chapter 1: At first I was a little hesitant to read this because duh how often you found a tarzan chanyeol au ff? because actually I didn't expect someone to write this kind of au ㅋㅋㅋ but hell I love this and need more of the fluff. You did a great job, author-nim♡♡

Chapter 1: Tarzan was my favorite male character from Disney for so long ♡ so it was nice to find this story.
Yeol is so cute, my baby. I imagined everything you described and it was the perfect scenario for this fic. I'm glad they had their happy ending and that we didn't have tragic endings like in the movie :(
Thank you for sharing this story with us♡

Chapter 1: You had me at Tarzan!Chanyeol.

I feel like it’s been awhile since I last read a fic where I hid my face behind my hands to either prevent from bursting into giggles or because I actually felt my cheeks heat up and my stomach flutter. This is so sweet and perfect and I never knew XingDae is a ship my soft heart needs. I loved every bit of this, and it brought out a craving of me rewatching Disney’s Tarzan because it has been years. I just love the whole thing. I will definitely come back to this again when I’m in need of a good hearty laugh. <3
