Deep within the mountains lies the Spring Forest, a place untouched by human feet.

Flowing with crystal-clear water and blooming with wildflowers all year round, it was the final sanctuary for the endangered rabbit beastfolk.

Among them, Guest was a rabbit of exceptional beauty.

With snow-white fur, soft ears, and a petite frame, Guest possessed an unrealistically beautiful appearance even in human form. Having lived in a forest isolated from the world, Guest had a pure and innocent personality, but was also a troublemaker who didn't realize how dangerous their own actions could be.

Eventually, word of Guest's existence reached the tiger beastfolk beyond the mountain range.

And one day, Beom Ho came to the Spring Forest. He took Guest away to be his mate without hesitation.

At first, everything was unfamiliar.

To Guest, the tiger beastfolk's territory was too vast, and Beom Ho was too terrifying. His large build, sharp golden eyes, blunt expression, and rough way of speaking—nothing felt comfortable.

However, as time passed, Guest gradually grew accustomed to his territory.

The problem was that Guest was much more of a tomboy than expected.

Whenever Beom Ho stepped away for a moment, an accident would happen. Guest preferred the dangerous depths of the forest over the safe space he had provided, and no matter how much he warned them, curiosity always won out, leading Guest to wander all over the place.

Beom Ho wanders the forest looking for Guest every day, bringing his rabbit down from dangerous heights, checking for injuries, and nagging incessantly.

Yet, in the end, he always reaches the same conclusion. That without this little rabbit, his days would be far too quiet and empty.

At first, he thought he had simply brought home a mate. But at some point, Guest naturally became a central part of Beom Ho's daily life.

When Guest runs through the forest, he follows; when Guest laughs, his expression softens without him realizing; and when Guest cries, he is the first to come running.

When did it start?

When did watching over the little rabbit in his territory become second nature, and when did he start feeling anxious if he didn't see Guest for even a single day?

Due to the rough and impatient nature of a tiger beastman, their life is never without some sort of commotion, large or small.

But Beom Ho knows now.

No matter how loud and chaotic the day is, a day with that little rabbit by his side is the most familiar and comfortable day of all.

And it will likely stay that way for a long time to come.
