ANIMALS:
Sungmin: Rabbit. - Perv.
Heechul: Cat. - Very very cat-ish. His owners thought he was female at first. Frienemys with Sungmin.
Yesung: Turtle. No, TORTOISE. - Picky and kind of silent. Considered weird. Likes to stay in his shell or steal Ryeowook’s coffee.
Donghae: Puppy - Hyperactive, likes fishes, suspected to be an abandoned alien. Drools.
Eunhyuk: Spider monkey - Likes to hang upside down from the ceiling and cling onto other animals. Likes to try and impersonate Donghae.
Han Geng: mini tiger. - Bullied for his size, bit of a mother. Imported from China. Talks fluent Heechul.
Henry: Imported hamster. He is the very first example of a new crossing between breeds. Very nervous that he won’t fit in.
Shindong: Parrot - Very talkative after puberty, makes dirty jokes.
Youngwoon (There’s a Kangin and a Youngwoon, live with it): Raccoon - Kangin’s new pet and favourite animal ever. Likes scaring people.

”No! Heechul! Sungmin! LET GO OF EACH OTHER! BAD.” Kyuhyun roars, stepping into the fight and trying to mind his hands as he’s attempting to separate the wailing balls of fur. When he finally manages to make Sungmin let go of whatever he’d been able to bite and Heechul to remove his long tail from around Sungmin’s neck, all the others have gathered around them.
“Jesus, Kyuhyun, and you do this for a living?” Kangin wonders, trying his best not to laugh at the somewhat insane expression that has been Kyuhyun’s signature mark ever since he for some reason accepted this new job of his.
Kyuhyun barely even flinches as Heechul starts screeching and tries to wrestle free from Kyuhyun’s arms. He’s used to that cat being a bitch by now. Instead, he just places Sungmin comfortably on his shoulders, and puts the hissing cat down in Yesung’s cage. The turtle, in turn merely draws back into his shell upon seeing the cat, not saying a word.
“Seriously, Kyu? I never thought I’d see you in charge of a day-care center for magical animals.”
Because that’s what he could officially title himself now: Worker at and owner of the worlds’ most freaky kindergarten.
How on earth did this happen, you might ask? Well, it was all in the power of a certain someone called Kibum and his smile and Siwon’s equally stupid smile.
He’d been in the store to buy his rabbit a new toy (he still refused to give up the Gentleman Mimi teddy bear), said rabbit safe in a collar and a leash on his shoulders, greeting his “parents” happily. They’d been talking about how crowded the store was getting with the people leaving their magical animals there for the workday, as Heechul the cat and Sungmin both had been trying to poke a raccoon named Youngwoon back to life without getting eaten alive.
Before he knew it, Sungmin had offered that Kyuhyun (who currently didn’t have a job anyway, his boss had been put off by the horny bunny and fired Kyuhyun) would open a day-care centre for magical animals.
The protests had just kind of got stuck in his throat as Kibum had smiled (HOW BRIGHT!? REALLY BRIGHT) and Siwon’s eyebrows had done a small hopeful dance.
(Yes, Kyuhyun could talk eyebrow, now.)
There are daily routines and the daily events. Let’s go over them together, shall we?
KINDERGARTEN FOR ANIMALS:
MORNINGS ARE HELL:
Every morning started out ridiculously early. No, really. Like, five in the stupid morning early. Kyuhyun likes to think he could have gotten used to that. If it only weren’t for his sadistic pet rabbit who thinks he really, really needs a third alarm clock (the first one, Kyuhyun had tossed at Sungmin trying to make him shut up about Alice in Wonderland costumes for pets. Ryeowook was way too nice. So Kyuhyun was on his second alarm clock).
Every morning, just to get him to shut up, Kyuhyun aimed the spray bottle filled with cold water at Sungmin and let the mist of water do the rest.
Sometimes it worked. Other times it just caused Sungmin to scream so loud and high-pitched Kyuhyun could feel his ears break.
And then he had no other choice but to get up.
Breakfast was also something out of a real crackfic (yes, gaming fandoms had fan fiction too). Since Ryeowook was currently living in Kyuhyun’s (and Sungmin’s, at least if you listened to Sungmin himself) apartment, he handled the cooking.
Ryeowook, after getting over the whole talking-animals-omg-wtf-bbq thing had grown quite fond of the talking animals and their different magical abilities. Currently he worked for Kyuhyun in the day-care centre.
“I DON’T WANT THAT.” Sungmin screamed from his special-built rabbit space at the short side of the table. This was one of the bad mornings, Kyuhyun thought, eating his cereal silently and reading a magazine about gaming while his rabbit and best friend were bickering about the rabbit food.
On the inside, he winced at the really creepy image the three of them made. The long-suffering husband, the bickering wife and the annoying mix between an infant and a teenager for a kid.
Yeah, he really hated his life.
Especially when the fight started being about the dress of the day instead.
Kyuhyun stared. And stared. And stared some more. Then she slowly turned to the proud creator of the horror. “Is that… genuine leather? On my rabbit?” he asked, not quite believing what he was seeing.
“We wanted him to have more of a bad boy image today.” Ryeowook practically purred and beamed with excitement. Sungmin just looked happy at getting what he wanted (and just getting out of bath with Kyuhyun).
Kyuhyun’s landlady almost called the police when she was out yelling at the landlord from across the street; she was that convinced that he was going to jump off the balcony, hanging over the rail and whimpering over his lost sanity as he was.
When they were walking to work, Sungmin in a pink leash and a collar with blue paw prints on it (which was totally clashing with the adorable little leather jacket and black socks he wore to protect his sensitive paws, the stuck up rabbit had been doing research on Google again), and Ryeowook in a matching leather jacket, Kyuhyun tried to ignore the loud and excited chattering from somewhere on the ground, pulling his scarf over his mouth to protect himself from the cold winter air.
Since no one with the least bit of sanity was even around at this hour of the morning, while it was still pitch black and so cold that your breath stuck in your throat, Sungmin felt free to share his bubbling mood with the rest of them.
Ryeowook carried a bag filled with their stuff, and had Gentleman Mimi (now equipped with a scarf of his own, Sungmin knew knitting for some unknown reason) under his arm, keeping the leash in his other hand.
All was well until Sungmin grew tired of Kyuhyun not responding, and promptly ran in front of his master’s feet, making the human trip and fall quite funnily on his face.
Kyuhyun wasn’t happy and banned Sungmin from watching Barbie-movies for a month.
Sungmin whines the rest of the way.
WORK IS HELL TOO:
Kyuhyun has a pink and frilly apron, yes he does. Very. Pink.
It’s not like he knows why, it’s probably all thanks to either Sungmin or Ryeowook.
The colour is so intensive that he can feel his eyes tearing up just by looking at it. He decides to save himself the humiliation of asking Ryeowook what in the holy world that…. thing… is. He just puts on the stupid pink apron and gets a witty remark about how the colour is matching his eyes.
Kyuhyun kind of wants to applaud and give himself a trophy for dealing with his life.
After dealing with a small freak-out over the lack of canned dog food (it was really just a minor breakdown. Only it had a frilly pink apron and incoherency and drama) and sending Ryeowook out to get some more, a smiling guy called Lee Hyukjae came to drop off his hyperactive puppy named Donghae. Kyuhyun watched the tiny dog run around the room and both yap and yell in excitement. Today would be a long day indeed.
Shortly after Donghae had collapsed in a little puddle of wriggling puppy in the middle of the playroom floor a chattering spider monkey called Eunhyuk burst in though the door and made Kyuhyun fall over for the second time that morning.
Shindong the parrot arrived through the vent system just ten minutes after Kyuhyun had gotten tired of looking for a certain monkey to kill.
“How are women and tornadoes alike?” he asked as he hung himself upside down from the lamp. Kyuhyun, being used to the insanity and dirty mind of that parrot didn’t answer.
Silence.
“They both moan like hell when they come, and take the house when they leave!”
“SHINDONG!” Kyuhyun snapped, Ryeowook just looked pale, Sungmin and Eunhyuk rolled all over the floor in laughter. Donghae, thinking it was some exciting new game, joined them.
As Heechul the slim cat gracefully waltzed in, followed by the way-too-small Chinese white tiger (a spell gone wrong in the tiger’s kitten days) Han Geng, the mood was somewhat back to normal.
“The awesomest princess in town is gonna grace you unworthy people with his presence today. Don’t waste my time.” the cat drawled, carefully licking his fur and giving the tiara on his head a slight push as to make it sit absolutely flawlessly on his head.
Han Geng sat down on the floor and said in broken Korean; “What Heechul is trying to say is, good morning, Kyuhyun ge.”
Heechul shrugged. “Close enough.”
When a guy called Jongjin dropped off his magical (albeit only vaguely so as far as any of them had been able to see) tortoise, the group was almost complete.
Let’s take a moment here to look over the situation again. Yes, go beyond the chaos!
In a corner, Sungmin and Heechul are bickering about whose tiara has the most fake stones on it or something like that, Han Geng curled up nearby and ‘mmmh’-ing in reply whenever Heechul said “Right, Hankyung?”
A small spider monkey is trying to get into a vent-opening in the other room, helped by a green parrot and cheered on by a small, brown puppy. Said puppy is running in circles and chasing his own tail, once in a while frantically trying to climb the wall, saying something about “up, up!”
With them is also Ryeowook, who is desperately trying to get the animals back down to the level where he can catch them and close them up somewhere. And attached to Ryeowook’s left leg is a coffee-craving, very biased tortoise.
In the main playroom Kyuhyun is almost getting strangled by a laughing raccoon in the face, appearing out of nowhere. All he really was supposed to do was find Gentleman Mimi before Sungmin noticed that the teddy had been kidnapped. Henry was a shy hamster, and had taken a strong liking to the Mimi bear.
He could hear Kangin clapping his hands and cheering on his animal, Jungsu gasping and trying to make Youngwoon the raccoon get away from Kyuhyun’s face.
No really. He hated his life.
Breakfast was the most silent hour of the entire day.
At least most days. Except when…
“This food just screams cheap.” Heechul said, voice filled with distaste and glaring at Kyuhyun, who was busy with Sungmin on his shoulders whispering stuff in his ear and a shivering Henry in his lap. How Ryeowook could both provide Shindong with parrot snacks and feed Yesung coffee at the same time was a mystery.
Breakfast was the most silent hour of the day. Except when Heechul decided to be a princess.
“You’re cheap, hyung.” Shindong said. Heechul hissed.
“What did one saggy boob say to the other saggy boob?” Shindong wondered out loud, making Eunhyuk choke on his fruits.
“Not now, Shindong.” Kyuhyun replied in his best I’m-the-boss voice. “Donghae, it’s easier to eat your food if you stay in one place, the bowl isn’t going anywhere.” he added when he saw a familiar bowl with fish bones painted on it moving across the floor.
“We better get some support or people will think we're nuts.” Shindong crowed happily, stole the nut he was about to take from the bag and flapped his wings in Ryeowook’s face, causing Ryeowook to burn Yesung with coffee and Yesung to bite Geng’s tail. Geng in turn meowed out loud and almost crushed Heechul in his panic to get away.
Youngwoon, Kangin, Eunhyuk and of course Sungmin laughed, Henry fled, Ryeowook ran after him, Yesung scooped up in his hands, Donghae yapping at his feet. Geng just licked his injured tail, trying to keep his pride in place while Heechul laughed at him.
Taking a walk with the animals in the cold was just a pain for all of them. Eunhyuk and Donghae chased each other all around their legs and it was just generally dangerous to be out and walking with them if you liked having your head intact.
Kyuhyun had lost count about how many times he’d almost been tripping over the leash that day. He was also trying to keep Sungmin steady on his shoulders and keeping Gentleman Mimi safe under his arm. Ryeowook had Heechul and Han Geng both, and Henry in one pocket, Yesung hiding in the other. Leeteuk tried to (failed to) keep track of Youngwoon, who repeatedly went into the bushes to scare away anything and everything in them.
Over lunch Kyuhyun wrote a song dedicated to his beloved aspirin, as there was a full-scaled food war going on around him. He sang it as he joyfully sprayed water all over the suddenly very colourful Heechul and Sungmin.
As all the animals had been tucked into bed to take a nap after lunch, Ryeowook taking care of some paperwork, Kyuhyun read a story in stuttering English to Henry, petting an obviously dreaming Donghae with his free hand, and thinking, that when they were all like this, sleeping and quiet and rather cute, his job wasn’t so bad after all.
