When I looked at Jungkook and wondered, he shrugged his shoulders and said he'd be there soon. Ha... Does that even seem cute now?ㅠㅠ He was biting a lollipop, so one side of his cheek popped out and he shrugged his shoulders... Even his pronunciation was a little slurred by the lollipop... He looked exactly like a baby rabbit.
“Get down.”
Huh? Yeah… The van stopped shortly after we arrived, and at Rabbit's instruction to get off, we hurriedly packed our bags and got off. As we disembarked, someone who seemed to be Jungkook's manager said he'd be back if he called, then stormed off. It was a huge house with a wide yard and a high wall, making it seem like it wouldn't be visible from the outside.
“What are you doing there, blankly?”
“It’s really big… but where is this place?”
“My house.”
What, what? So, this is where our rabbit lives..? Jungkook calmly said that it was his house, and I started to stutter and keep rolling my eyes here and there. Why am I in the rabbit house...? You don't know you're scared of people, and now..!!
“I thought you were weird.”
“Huh, huh? Wh, what are you talking about! I’m not that kind of person?!”
"Huh~ That's weird. Why are you getting so worked up? Like you just had a really weird thought."
Jungkook's face, one corner of his mouth curling up as if he'd found something funny, made my pupils dilate. Haha... I don't understand a single thing the rabbit is saying~! I gave an awkward smile and laughed, then quickly followed the rabbit's words to come in.
“Wow.. the rabbit house is really awesome! I want to live here!!”
“Not really.”
The spacious, neatly organized yard was a surprise, but stepping inside the rabbit house, my eyes widened even more. The house was a modern style, with an overall white tone and a few gray accents. Above all, it was incredibly clean.
The living room was spacious, the kitchen was spacious, and there was even a duplex, so there was a second floor. There were two bathrooms and, at a glance, three or four bedrooms. I realized anew that my baby rabbit was a successful singer.
“Rabbit, can I take a look around your house?”
"as you please."
Yay! This is my first time in such a spacious house... I'm so excited! Jungkook's words, "Look around freely," made me burst into ecstasy. I smiled brightly and started running around the house, exploring.
Each room was filled with its own unique charm, giving off a distinctly Jungkook vibe. The kitchen, too, was a neat mix of white, black, and gray. So this is where rabbits live... As expected... the rich are different.
“What are you blushing about so much, you crazy person.”
"Oh, sorry… This is my first time in such a spacious and nice house, it's so new!" Jungkook, who had been smiling brightly as he answered, chuckled awkwardly, as if he was taken aback. "Bunny, can I go up to the second floor too?" "Huh??
“It doesn’t matter, but be careful, or you might break something.”
“Wow… Rabbit… I’m a little touched right now…”
“Huh.. what is it now?”
“You’re worried about me just now..? Huh? Right?? That’s it, right?”
“No, really? I’m just worried you might break my stuff, so stop talking nonsense.”
Tsk... What am I supposed to say... I got my hopes up for nothing... . I pout slightly at the rabbit's firm words and quickly run back up to the second floor. On the second floor, there were three guitars - an acoustic guitar, a classical guitar, and an electric guitar - and an electronic piano. I thought that the second floor was where Jungkook makes music. Well, our rabbit is the coolest and sexiest when he makes music!
“Huh? This guitar… It’s that legendary guitar worth over 7 million won!”
“How do you know this?”
Whoa! That's surprising!! No, why are you yelling out of the blue? I was more surprised? Haa... That's why you suddenly appeared from behind and did that!! Huh, even the enemy has his way. What's wrong with me staying at my house? I grumbled and then my lips snapped shut when a rabbit started casting spells at my house.
“How do you know about this guitar? Do you like guitars?”
"I'm majoring in music and guitar, but?" Jeongguk asked, and I unintentionally revealed my major and department. Hearing my words, he stared at me with a surprised expression.
“Why, why are you looking at me like that..?”
“Just because it’s interesting. It seems a bit different when someone like this plays the guitar.”
"Huh, what's wrong with me? Is it so weird that I'm a guitar major? Does it just not suit me?" I asked, looking up at Jungkook. He cleared his throat and avoided my gaze. He then walked over to a 7 million won guitar, picked it up, and handed it to me.
“Let me play it once.”
“Really..? Can I play this?”
Jungkook, curious, put a 7 million won guitar in my hand, telling me to play it. My eyes widened, my hands trembling as I gripped the guitar tightly. Then, very slowly and carefully, I cradled the guitar in my arms, picked up the chords, and began to play cautiously.
The moment I heard the guitar, I realized it wasn't expensive for nothing. It was much better than what I had… The thrill I felt from my fingertips sent goosebumps down my spine, and I played with excitement.
“…Wow. Rabbit, I’ve never touched a guitar like this in my life. Thank you!”
“I think you like this guitar more than me.”
“Hey, no way. The reason I started playing guitar was because of the rabbit?”
I chuckled at the rabbit, who seemed surprised to hear that I'd started playing guitar because of him. The rabbit seemed curious about my story, and I, recalling those times, unpacked my story to him, one by one.

Jungkook and I sat on the second floor and started chatting away. Jungkook, after hearing that I had started playing the guitar, stared at me, asking if that was okay. I just thought that bunny was so adorable. Look at those wide-eyed eyes… so cute!
“So, you started playing the guitar after seeing an interview I did at the beginning of my debut and hearing someone say that guitarists are cool.”
“Yeah, I guess so.”
“You’re even more stupid than I thought, aren’t you?”
Why am I an idiot?! When Jeongguk got angry at his words of being an idiot and glared at him, the rabbit snickered and said something like, "If I said something different was cool, would I have done something different? What should I do if I have no courage?"
"I wanted to be a cool fan of Bunny. Bunny has always been a cool singer to me."
I grinned like an idiot at the bunny who was chattering, and I felt the bunny's ears turning redder as it looked at me. What the? Huh, no way... Is my baby bunny embarrassed by me right now..? Bunny! What the hell is going on? Seriouslyㅠㅠㅠ
“Rabbit, are you embarrassed right now..? In a cute way?”
“Oh, what are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense.”
“Our rabbit is embarrassed now! Rabbit!!”
“Oh, come on! That’s not it!!”
Jungkook must have been even more embarrassed by my question than he was. He covered his ears, which were as red as a blazing flame, with both hands and hurried down to the first floor. I looked at the adorable bunny and chuckled to myself before following it down to the first floor. At times like that, he was just like a cute baby bunny…

When I came down to the first floor, Rabbit was lying down on the wide sofa in the living room, playing with his phone. I approached Rabbit with a smirk, lightly tapped his shoulder with my hand, and asked, "Hey Rabbit~! What have you been doing?"
“Oh, shit.. If someone saw me, they’d think we were related or something.”
“Oh, Rabbit. Then I feel a little sad. If you invited me to your house, then aren’t we a little special?”
Among all the fans, I'm the closest to Bunny! The number one fan among the number one fans!! I smirked at Bunny while raising my right index finger and showing the number one sign. Jungkook, who had been staring at me blankly, suddenly seemed curious and tilted his head slightly to the left as he asked.
"I've been wondering this for a while now. How old are you? Judging by the way you act, you look like an elementary school student, let alone a college student."
Elementary school student..? Elementary school student? I was momentarily shocked by the comment that he sounded like an elementary school student, but I couldn't answer Jungkook's question quickly and hesitated. Because, honestly, I'm only twenty-three. It didn't seem like a problem until now, but hearing this will cause problems.
“Huh? How old are you?”
That's... well... actually, Rabbit is currently twenty-five, and I'm twenty-three. Age-wise, I'm two years younger than Rabbit. If Rabbit found out... I had a feeling he'd bring up the fact that I called him Rabbit and spoke to him so casually.
“…three years old..”
"uh?"
“Twenty-three years old..! I said… this…..”
I lowered my head, trailing off, and my voice trailed off. The moment the rabbit heard me and the words coming out of my mouth, one corner of its mouth quirked up like a predator seeking prey. Then it rose from the sofa and began to approach me, step by step.
“Oh, I’m two years older than you? And yet you keep teasing me by calling me a rabbit? Huh?”
I thought, "Is this what it means to be ruined?" Ha... Kim Yeo-ju... Just die, die. What's the temperature of the Han River...? I was biting my lip, my mind racing with all sorts of thoughts, when the rabbit met my gaze. Then, it raised the corners of its mouth, smiled prettily, and said,
“Try it, oppa.”
This was it. For a split second, the sight of the handsome and beautiful rabbit nearly gave me a heart attack, but I held my pounding heart steady and just darted my eyes back and forth. Having called him "Junggugi" or "Rabbit" my entire life, the word "Oppa" felt a bit, a lot, cringeworthy. Right now, no matter how close the rabbit came, I had to think about how to avoid this situation. In short, it was an emergency.
