After a while of walking, with Yujin still talking about nonsense things, they finally arrived at Wonyoung's little home.

But at the sight, which she herself can't believe she actually forgot, only made Yujin gasp in horror. Silently cursing.. "Oh my.. ghadnis."

In front if her there she saw her her fear. A fear she developed upon reading the Bunny's book ever since she was still a child.

The hanging bridge.

This bridge that leads to another hanging bridge, which leads to finally Wonyoung's simple but relaxing tree house.

"Come on."

Yujin only got back to her senses when Wonyoung called, only to see the bunny was already on the other side of the bridge. And it only added more to her fright.

"Human! Its almost sunset! Hurry!" Wonyoung shouted from the other side.

Yujin gulped, stepping near the short wood post that connects the rope rails. She slowly lowered her sight, and this.. is what fears her. Its not exactly the height that she's scared of, rather its the river that's waiting for her underneath. She's afraid of falling off, especially that she can't swim.

"I..I-I can't—" Yujin stutters to herself as she felt her knees getting weak, trembling.

"What's wrong? Are you afrai—"

"I am not!" Yujin bravely stood straight... or more like forcing herself to be brave, when in reality she's scared asf. "My father says to not be a
c-coward!"

She's convincing herself.. still whispering, "I'm brave.. I'm b-brave.. I'm not a coward, I am brav—FREAKIN' SHI—!" She immediately dropped on her knees as soon as she stepped forward, it was because the wind causes the bridge to shake a little, only adding more to her panic.

Seeing this, the bunny brought a smile on her lips without even knowing it to herself. And so, to tease a little, she went back at the middle of the shaky platform, using the force on her feet to make the bridge sway even more.

"HOLY MAMA— I'M GONNA DIE!" Yujin screamed on the top of her lungs as she kneeled down more. Curling like a cold puppy.

"Come on human! Man up!"

"I DON'T HAVE BALLS!"

Wonyoung giggled, "Then woman up!"

Even with trembling hands, Yujin had herself standing now with Wonyoung's words of courage. Or not exactly.. more like the human just wanted to show off that she really isn't a coward.

Gulping down hard, she took one step forward on at a time. And while she's at it, she kept on mumbling, "Oh dear God, please let mother know how I love her so much. And father too. And our maids and our cook, and my mother's plants in the garden. And my books, my ice creams, and my video games, I love them all." She was stuttering the whole time, and not just her voice that was shaking.. her body was trembling also.

"I love Wonyoung too—" and she stopped.. now putting her hands together when she realized, "Oh no no no dear God.. Please don't let me die a virgin. I still want to experience married life.. I hold my family's bloodline, at least let me have a child. "

"What are you doing?—"

"HOLY SHI—" Yujin immediately covered her own mouth with her palm. Well she wouldn't want to curse in front of her love, would she..?

But again, when the breeze blew upon her, Yujin immediately ran back to the start while still kneeling down, "Fu– Fudge I don't wanna die!"

Wonyoung once again chuckled, "You're not gonna die."

"I know! I just wanna avoid death."

Wonyoung had her nose crunched as she doesn't understand Yujin's nonsense blabbers.

But just at the right time, she let out a sigh of relief when the breeze started to blow stronger. At the next thing they knew, a flying creature had flew from below.

Yujin shouts out of fear and started running to Wonyoung, clutching on the bunny's white silk dress like a child

Yujin shouts out of fear and started running to Wonyoung, clutching on the bunny's white silk dress like a child.

The creature then landed on the same ground as them, "Good afternoon my friend!" The winged lion beast greeted.

"Good afternoon to you too, Linus!" Wonyoung greeted back as she held her palm high. And as usual, the lion did gave his face for the bunny to caress.

"W-woah!! Linus!! You're Linus?!" Yujin had her eyes sparkled at the sight. Her fear immediately vanished as soon as she knew it was Wonyoung's lion friend, Linus!

The beast had his head turned around, only to flash out a huge grin when he saw Yujin, "Oh a human! Haha! Its been along time since a saw someone of your species!"

"Yeah! I'm the best human to ever exist in this world!" Yujin had already jumped up to Linus, and the Lion also hopped up on his four feet out of excitement.

"Now.. can you put up a fight??" The lion cheekily giggled.

"Ey eyy!! No fighting!"

"Aww, come on! Just a little exercise!"

"Oh yeah?! Then let's get it!" And with the little screaming, she already had playfully tackled on the lion. In which Linus had return with a playful pounce too.

The two of them continued their wrestling that only made Wonyoung pinch her nose while shaking her head in disbelief. "How childish."

She never actually thought that Linus would make a toy out of a human. Or more like a playmate.
