Taehyung was on his way back home when he came across a dirty and wounded bunny lying next to a trashcan in a cobbled alley. So, being the man that he is, he picked it up thinking someone had lost or thrown it out there. To the bunny's+

luck, Taehyung is a vet working at the local pet clinic. He had just finished his shift and was going home to relax. But i stead, he rushed back to the clinic, passing by the janitor, Mr. Kim, and made sure to save this poor soul from certain d/eath.

Taehyung loves animals.

Especially bunnies. So he made sure to stitch it up and clean the poor and terrified creature, pressing a kiss on its forehead before he put it gently into one of the big cages, wrapped in a fluffy blanket.

Before he left, Taehyung made sure to check up on the cute bunny,+

looking back at him with those big black eyes that always filled the kind vet with wonder. How can people throw out their favorite pets? He doesn't really understand the reasons.

The next day, Taehyung goes back to the pet clinic minutes after opening. He greets the receptionist, Ms Go, who wonders why the beautiful vet is here during the day because his shift starts in the evening.

"I brought a wounded bunny last night," he tells her, impatient to+

find out how the cute creature is doing.

"A bunny?"

"Yes. I put it in the big cage."

"Oh," the woman murmurs. "Doctor Park is inside. But I don't think we have—"

Before the woman completes her sentence, Taehyung has already left, heading inside to find his friend and the+

little fluffy patient.

"Taehyung? What a nice surprise!" The beautiful vet with the blakc hair and charming smile says. "What brings you here?"

"Seojoon," Taehyung murmurs, eyes falling on the now empty cage. "I just. I brought a bunny in yesterday. And put it... In here."

"A bunny? Was it wounded?"

"Yes," Taehyung examines the empty cage. The food he left is still there intact. "I gave it a few stitches and cleaned it up. It should be here. Did you take it out?"

"No," Seojoon moved closer, looking at the blanket. "I cna here first thing in the+

morning. Are you sure?"

Taehyung nods. Could he have imagined it? Well, probably not. He clearly remembers those big black eyes.

"Maybe it got out of the cage?" Seojoon wonders.

"I'll take a look around."

Seojoon nods. "By all means. I have to examine a lab in exam+

room 2. Lemme know if you find it, Tae."

"I will. Thanks," Taehyung bows his head to the older doctor, looking at him leave beofore he starts searching every corner of the clinic for the bunny.

An hour later, his effort came to a naught. The bunny must've somehow+

gotten out of the cage and run away. There's no other explanation. As Taehyung leaves the clinic to have some breakfast, he takes a mental note to ask Mr. kim, the janitor, if he saw or heard anything.

It's a shame if it run away. Taehyung had this thought this morning that+

if nobody looked for it, he was gonna adopt it. He already has a dog at home but, again, his love for bunnies is slightly grrater than anything.

As he walks away, holding his car keys, Taehyung doesn't notice two big eyes in the color of obsidian observing him.

If he had, he would probably have found out more about this peculiar case of the missing bunny...

* * *

"Good night, Dr Kim," the janitor tells him after finishing his work tasks for the night, leaving a slightly sleepy Taehyung trying to catch up with some work. He didn't sleep last night and after he came here early in the morning, he decided to get a haircut, and+

do some shopping and nailcare since he was already out.

"Good night, Namjoon," he murmurs, carrying on completing a few reports he hadn't finished earlier. His eyes travel on the cage momentarily. Namjoon told him that the bunny was there when he locked the door last night.

So it's truly a mystery as to what happened to the fluffy cottontail.

An hour later, Taehyung stretches his arms with a yawn. Then, he stands up and collects his stuff, shoving them in his boston bag. Carefully, he thenputs his lab coat away and wears his warm brown coat+

instead.

The clinic is empty and the only sound comes from some of the cages where his patients are held for the night. Taehyung always checks up on them, making sure they are comfortable, are warm and have enough food water.

When he is finally done, he grabs his bag and exits+

the building, locking the huge door carefully when a sudden voice startles him.

"Give me your bag," Taehyung hears and turns around to find a mugger in a dark purple hoodie, holding in his front pocket something that looks like a swiss knife.

"W-what?"

"Your bag! Give it to+

me!" The man mutters, hiding his face behind a mask and a hood that doesn't let Taehyung see anything but his eyes.

Frozen, Taehyung just stares at him, holding the bag close to his chest. He hasn't had any experiences like this before.

The mugger then moves, grabbing the+

strap and trying to pull it away resulting in Taehyung shouting and trying not to let it go.

"Let it go!" The man grunts, pushing Taehyung back on the door, making his shoulder hurt but he still resists until the man pulls out his pocket knife. But before he made another move,+

an arm appears out of nowhere, forcing the mugger to drop it.

"Yo, scum," a breathy voice echoes in the vet's ears as he sees the mugger being pulled backwards, letting go of the strap.

Taehyung gasps when he sees a man dressed all in black, one arm completely exposed and a+

bandage wrapped around his bicep, fighting the street thug who was about to mug him.

"I'll call the police!" Taehyung shouts again but they keep fighting and Taehyung feels his heart beating fastee when the mugger lands a cut on the man's palm before he kicks him and makes him+

run.

"Aish! Run, you moron!" The breathy voice shouts and Taehyung moves to him, looking at the drops of blood landing on the street.

"Angels, you got hurt! Let me call an ambulance for—"

"No," his savior days, turning around to reveal his face, a beautiful milky canvas+

with cherry-colored lips, little chocolate chips and the blackest and biggest eyes Taehyung has seen. This man doesn't look like a normal man. Another street thug?

Taehyung gulps, afraid that the man may harm him but instead, he holds his hand and prepares to leave.

'Those eyes...' The vet thinks, reaching for his sleeve. No matter who he is, he clearly tried to help him.

"Please let me take care of it. I'm a doctor."

"Yeah, for animals," the stranger says, looking at the pet clinic sign.

Taehyung pouts. Oh this one is rude.+

But still, he tried to help... He probably is a street thug or something judging by his appearance. There's a scar on his face? From a fight? Taehyung wonders in his thoughts before he finally speaks.

"You are quiet rude, sir. I just offered to help you. And thank you for+

your help."

"Well, I don't need your help, vet "

Taehyung starss at him, eyes catching a glimpse of his bandaged arm. "You clearly do. How are you going to take care if that if you palm is also wounded."

"That's none of your business," the doe-eyed stranger adds.

He's a stubborn one, Taehyung thinks. So he tries again, softly even though he is kinda pissed.

"Please. I am a vet but I jnow how to do stitches. I promise it'll take a minute," he says, avoiding saying thst they should call the police. This man looks dangerous but still+
