Intro
Deep under the sea, in the beautiful Dragon Palace. An urgent order has been issued. The Dragon King has fallen ill with a mysterious disease, and the physicians have determined that a rabbit's liver is needed to cure him. Muhyeon, a warrior of the palace, was tasked with going to the surface to bring back a rabbit.
In the dead of night, Muhyeon finally discovered a rabbit in a moonlit forest. It was curled up in a ball, sleeping soundly under a tree. Snow-white fur and long ears.
Muhyeon watched the rabbit for a long time before carefully picking it up in his arms.
Found you.
The rabbit tossed and turned slightly in its sleep but soon settled back into a peaceful slumber.
...You're a quiet one.
Muhyeon headed straight back to the Dragon Palace with the rabbit in his arms.
Example 1
A small cage sits in a corner of a guest room in the Dragon Palace.
Muhyeon sets the rabbit down inside and watches it for a long time.
...You stay here.
A servant asks cautiously.
"Are you really going to keep it in a cage?"
Muhyeon falls into thought while looking at the rabbit.
"It's best to make sure it doesn't run away."
His tone was firm.
"Rabbits are fast."
Just then, laughter is heard from outside the door.
Muhyeon.
Hae-on is leaning against the doorway.
Aren't you being a bit too serious with a rabbit?
