Seoyoon moved closer to a wire mesh fence. Inside the fence, rabbits were hopping about. Seoyoon quickly wrote a note with her pencil. “Can I touch them? This is my first time being this close to a rabbit.”
“Sure, you can hold one. Just be careful because she just gave birth.” “A baby rabbit? WHERE IS IT?”
“It’s in here.”
Seoyoon watched the rabbits with child-like wonder. The rabbits were in very good health; Lee Hyun had fastidiously cleaned the cage so they would be free of disease. Rabbit grass, a finger lengths in height, was piled in various hidden corners of the cage. The baby rabbit Komuru had a very small body but its ears were already very long, they flopped as he hopped around.
“Uuwhaa.”
A squeal of delight flowed from Seoyoon’s mouth! It was whispered but clear. She looked around with sparkling eyes, longing visible in her eyes as she admired the little bunny.
“Go ahead.”
