it was on a tuesday morning when huening kai stumbled upon a poor rabbit on his way to school.
he was kicking the peddle, with his hands on each of his pocket when he heard a whimper coming from the alley he'd just passed by. kai stopped on his track. his ears were perked up, wanting to make sure if he was hearing it right. and when he heard it again, he instantly headed to the noise, expecting to see someone or a puppy or even a cat, in pain.
what he didn't expect was finding a huge all-white rabbit, with its leg got stucked in a drain.
okay now—kai was having second thoughts. he wanted to help the bunny but it was so fucking huge (okay listen, he had just never seen a huge bunny like that in his seventeen years of life okay. that was all. totally not because he was scared of it. nope. shut up).
when he heard the rabbit whimper in distress again, he decided to just fuck it and help the poor animal. he slowly took a step forward, not wanting to startle and scare the animal away (but then again, it's not like the rabbit could hop away anyway.) the rabbit's ears instantly perked up and the next he knew, he was having a staring contest with the bunny.
“uh hi?” kai said dumbly. its nose twitched before he whimpered again, a little louder this time as he tried to hop away.
kai felt offended.
“what was that reaction— hey I saw you twitching your nose okay! I smell great, I showered this morning!” kai spluttered. the bunny stomped its other leg in response, letting out a pathetic whimper.
“kai, you absolute dumbass.” he muttered under his breath before slowly inching forward.
“hey hey, don't worry okay little guy. I just want to help you.” kai slowly crouched down in front of the bunny, reaching his hand out to caress the rabbit's head. the animal let out a whimper again, but it was soft.
“aw poor baby,” he cooed. “just wait a second okay? it won't hurt.”
he grabbed the leg that was stucked in the drain and gently pulled it out, not wanting to hurt the white rabbit. “there there. good boy!”
kai caressed its leg gently, looking for any injuries. the rabbit let out a sound, that suspiciously sounded like a purr—wait.
“rabbits can purr?” kai blinked. “woah I didn't know rabbits can purr. well you learn something new everyday, I guess.”
the rabbit just looked up at kai, twitching its nose repeatedly.

it was during lunch time when his best friends pointed out something.
after he helped the rabbit, kai had stayed for longer than ten minutes. it was still too early for him to go to school anyway. so he thought why not.
it didn't take a long time for kai to grow soft for the bunny. honestly how could he not? the bunny was just a huge poodle of softness. he was so affectionate and adorable. kai loved the noises the bunny would make when kai pet him.
kai wanted to bring it home but he had a feeling the bunny wasn't a stray animal. it looked so well groomed and clean to be one. he didn't want to leave the bunny alone. he was worried. but he had to since he still had to attend school.
