The Taming of the Rabbit by Yeoju

01: My first meeting with Kkuktoki was shabby.

You will have a better viewing experience if you watch the prologue!

Today was another tough day, with my shoulders almost touching the floor.

If the company had a pungent smell of air freshener,

Now that the company was finished, the city had a musty smell of salt.

Cars honking inconsiderately, buildings packed tightly together

``This is the city I live in``

I hated it so much.

As I was walking down the familiar road home, a newly opened street food stall-style bar caught my eye.

I know very well that you have no conscience

But it's so hard

`` Wouldn't one drink be okay..? ``

김여주

Aunt, please give me just one like the first time.

I spoke to the woman who seemed to be the bar owner in a deep, hoarse voice. She quickly handed me a drink, tapped my anxious shoulder, and moved me to another table.

``..I didn't want to be comforted by someone I met for the first time..``

I was walking home from the bar, staggering a bit.

The ordinary thing that I saw in my eyes...

``There was a rabbit..``

The rabbit's eyes were blue and clear above all else.

As I looked at the rabbit as if I was possessed by those eyes, the rabbit fell backwards as if it was startled.

That sight made me laugh out loud.

The unidentified rabbit and I had something in common.

To put it a bit more broadly.

as soon as..

``They both look so shabby``

김여주

Rabbit, I don't know why, but I feel like I'm reflected in you.

Is this something a person can say to a rabbit?

My mind was a little confused and shaken.

But I pulled myself together again, picked the child up, and went home.

...

I think it would be better for two people to be together rather than leaving that poor person alone.

As soon as I got home, I rushed to the bed and lay down.

On days like that, a rabbit would come up and lie down.

For some reason, I wanted to be the owner of that rabbit.

김여주

Rabbit, do you want to live in this house with me?

토끼

.........

Naturally, the rabbit remained silent.

김여주

Can I be your master?

In response to my question, the rabbit silently approached me and rubbed its body against mine. It felt like it had been acknowledged.

김여주

Phew, please take care of me

김여주

Oh, right! I need to give you a name... um...

김여주

Um, let's do kuktoki, or kukto for short!

I felt something strange.

I feel especially comfortable tonight...
