I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY AND EVERYONE HERE SO MUCH!! SOBBING!! 😭🫂🫶💕🥰
I'm gonna go on a positive, sappy, rant for a minute hold up! 🫶 (periods are for sentences!)
THE PERIMETER HAS BEEN SECURED
I’ve been keeping a calendar to remain a bit sane.
It’s a bit hard to put together a holiday decor display and themed foods down here, but we manage! Cheer is…difficult to come by so it really lifts up the spirits of all of the residents.
Sometimes they dress me up in lights. Or glitter. Like a tree.
I was gonna do a pride post a lot more earlier.. but I felt a little different this year. But I'm proud to say that I'm demi-aroace!🖤🤍💙🩶
It came to me hella late at night as a second thought, like was it real? And it was 🥹 I felt really relieved when I figured it out💙
omg i would love to see more interactions between the babies and the unnies when they're a bit older, like maybe when they're elementary school age they go to the zoo or something and the unnies love watching how the kids react and thinking about how their personalities have developed over time🥺
cuuuute, thanks anon. Here you go!
....
Jihyo watched Momo struggle, laughing; Tzuyu was hanging off her back while Dahyun and Chaeyoung each took a leg. She wondered briefly if she should point out the ‘KEEP OFF THE GRASS’ sign facing away from them, but the zoo employees didn’t seem to care, and Jeongyeon and Mina were almost done buying their tickets anyway.
Chaeyoung shrieked as Momo struggled to raise her leg a few inches off the ground, kid attached to it and all, and Jihyo was actually concerned for a minute all four of them would topple over. But the dancer’s balance held true and Chaeyoung was gently placed back on the ground, and then it was Dahyun’s turn to be lifted. Momo swung her arms dramatically and pretended to lose balance, but again was fine.
“Alright!” Jeongyeon said loudly as her and Mina rejoined the group. Dahyun and Chaeyoung abandoned their game and ran to see the tickets in her hand. “Five adult tickets and four kiddie tickets. Momo, it says here you even get a special elephant sippie cup if we visit the food court-”
Momo only rolled her eyes, leaning forward so Tzuyu could reposition herself in a proper piggyback as they walked back to the group. Jeongyeon handed the adults their tickets. Momo frowned.
“You can’t tease me with an elephant sippie cup and then just give me an adult ticket, Jeongyeon.” She joked.
“I’ll share mine, Unnie!” Tzuyu kicked her feet.
“Ahh, my little Tzu Tzu, the sweetest most perfect little angel baby.” Momo danced, jostling Tzuyu and making the girl giggle.
“I hope I can find someone to share their elephant sippie cup with me.” Nayeon said dramatically, leaning down to Dahyun and Chaeyoung’s level.
Dahyun only tilted her head a little. Chaeyoung knit her brow. Jihyo laughed.
“Will you guys share your souvenirs with Nayeon-Unnie?” Sana bent down, too.
Chaeyoung shrugged. Dahyun gave a half-hearted little. “Okay.”
“Ouch.” Jihyo teased, and Nayeon made a face at her.
“Can I have a piggy back ride too?” Chaeyoung pulled at Sana’s sweatshirt to get her attention. “Please?” she added.
“Of course you can, Baby.” Sana smiled and crouched down.
“I’m not a baby. I’m six.” Chaeyoung remarked.
“You’ll always be my baby.”
“Even when I’m old like you?”
Sana frowned, and the unnies all laughed. She decided not to answer, opting instead to help Chaeyoung onto her back and change the subject. “Where to first? Anyone have anything they’re really excited for today?”
“Beetles!” Dahyun said quickly.
“Beetles?”
“Mhm. Mina Unnie said we can see beetles. At the zoo.”
Jihyo held back a laugh as Nayeon and Sana turned to glare at the bio major in question. Mina smiled sheepishly.
“Beetles!” Chaeyoung yelled, kicking her feet. “Let’s go to the beetles!”
Jeongyeon sighed and looked down at her map.
“Alright. Insect House, here we come.”
The kids cheered.
Sana and Nayeon decided to sit outside the insect house while everyone else went in. Dahyun was a little sad she didn’t get to show them her favorite beetle, but Mina took a picture of her posing next to the case and pointing at it for her show them so they wouldn’t miss out. Nayeon and Sana pretended to be grateful very well.
By the time they’d reached the last exhibit on their must-see list, it was after lunch and the kids were riding out a sugar high – they’d mistakenly let Momo and Sana go order the food alone and that meant everyone got a cupcake. Chaeyoung pulled Jihyo up the path, grip surprisingly strong for her small stature.
“The TIGERS Unnie, look I have pointy teeth too!” she was saying, and before Jihyo could stop her, her germy fingers were in her own mouth poking at her tiny canines.
“Wow, look at that!” Jihyo crouched next to her and pointed out two cubs wrestling each other. “Look, and they’re just like you and your Dubu, so much energy.”
Chaeyoung beamed and then gave her best tiger roar. Jihyo chuckled.
“Whoah, scary. Careful with that, little tiger cub.” Jeongyeon crouched next to them. “You’re gonna scare Nayeon Unnie.”
Nayeon glanced up at the mention of her name, momentarily distracted from her conversation with Dahyun. Dahyun didn’t notice, or maybe didn’t care, and continued telling Nayeon about the beetles in the Insect House that ate poop.
The walk to the car was much more tame; Dahyun had run out of steam and was allowing herself to be pulled along, rubbing her eyes with the hand not clasped in Jihyo’s. Tzuyu was back on Momo’s back, cheek resting against her shoulder. Jihyo would have thought the girl was asleep had it not been for her occasional lazy offering of her Elephant Sippie Cup; she’d hold the cup up to Momo’s face wordlessly and Momo would happily take a few sips of apple juice from the bendy straw. Chaeyoung was getting the last of her energy out, playing ‘guess the animal noise’ with Sana and Mina, and she was being pretty creative about what she thought a giraffe might sound like. Jihyo admittedly didn’t know enough about giraffes to correct her. And Nayeon and Jeongyeon walked hand-in-hand a few feet behind them, absorbed in a little conversation of their own every time Jihyo turned to make sure they were still following through the crowd.
“This is the best day ever.” Dahyun mumbled as they got to the van, Jihyo fixing her in her car seat. “Thank you, Unnie.”
Jihyo just smiled and kissed her forehead, the girl already approaching sleep by the time she leaned back.
