The Sickly Outcast's Little Bunny
1
Raindrops kept falling from outside the window onto the desk, dampening the cardboard box placed on its surface.
A small, snowball-like figure climbed onto the edge of the box, struggling to jump out. In the effort, he lost his footing and tumbled off the desk toward the floor.
Jungkook (bunny form)
**close his eyes
Jungkook closed his eyes in panic, his tiny bunny body tensing up.
The next second, instead of hitting the hard floor, he was enveloped in a sudden chill.
Jungkook slowly opened his eyes, and a young man’s handsome face came into focus
Taehyung’s expression was blank, his hair soaked from the rain. Water droplets slid down his bangs, trailing across his sharp, cold profile and dripping slowly from his chin. His pitch-black eyes were emotionless and bottomless, radiating the heavy, oppressive aura of an Alpha, even in his weakened state.
Jungkook (bunny form)
**blinked
Jungkook (bunny form)
(he has returned)
Taehyung looked down at the white bunny in his palm for a moment before placing it on his bed
The room was cramped, with a single bed covered in a worn, grayish sheet. Jungkook lay obediently on the bed, afraid to move.
It had been three days since he arrived in this world, and he’d had no choice but to accept that he had transmigrated into a rabbit—a palm-sized baby Omega rabbit at that. He had been picked up by the young Alpha before him on the very first day.
Jungkook raised his head, looking at Taehyung with a complicated expression
He remembered the plot. In the original story, Taehyung was the omega/female lead's brother—a minor character destined for a tragic end.
Despite being despised and treated like an outcast by his own family, Taehyung was the only one who protected the female/omega lead when everyone else turned their backs, eventually sacrificing his life.
The last time Taehyung appeared in the plot was as a name on a cold gravestone.
Before he could gather his thoughts, Jungkook watched as Taehyung closed the window and began removing his wet clothes.
The young Alpha was tall and well-proportioned, with the classic broad shoulders and narrow waist of his rank.
As he stripped, Jungkook saw the lean muscles of his chest. They were evenly distributed and powerful, with beautiful flowing lines
Jungkook (bunny form)
(a stark contrast to how slim and fragile he appears when fully clothed)
Even though Jungkook had seen many top-tier Alphas in his past life, he had to admit that Taehyung’s physique was breathtaking
Taehyung casually pulled on a black T-shirt, his expressionless face appearing even more rigid and cold against the dark fabric
Jungkook (bunny form)
**immediately lower his head
His gaze moved to the rabbit. He picked up a nearby towel and wrapped the bunny in it to dry off the rainwater
The towel wasn't soft, and the Alpha’s movements were rough. Jungkook felt a bit overwhelmed as the coarse fabric rubbed against his sensitive ears
The rabbit's snow-white fur became fluffy and disheveled, making him look like a round, adorably silly snowball. Jungkook wiggled his tiny paws, trying to escape the young man’s cold, steady hands, but just then, the doorbell rang
Wonyoung (FL)
"Bro... brother."
Wonyoung tried hard to contain her excited, trembling heart.
Wonyoung (FL)
**eyes wells up
Thinking of how in her previous life, when she had behaved terribly and was abandoned by everyone, only Taehyung—this cold, lonely, and downtrodden Alpha brother she had always despised—had appeared to save her, Wonyoung's eyes welled up with tears.
She looked at the young Alpha before her with sincere gratitude. The current Taehyung hadn't died trying to save her; he was still here, alive and standing before her. Even his scent, which she used to find stifling and "low-class," felt like a lifeline now
Wonyoung (FL)
(Thank goodness)
Taehyung looked at Wonyoung indifferently, his Alpha aura barely flickering
At this moment, Jungkook, who had been quietly nestled in Taehyung's large, cold hands, carefully observed Wonyoung's excited expression
Being an Omega—even in a rabbit's body—he was sensitive to the shift in the room's atmosphere. He realized this omega was the protagonist of the story.
Hearing her call Taehyung "brother," Jungkook confirmed that Wonyoung had indeed been reborn
In the original plot, it was described that after her rebirth, she began calling him brother out of sheer guilt and gratitude.

Wonyoung (FL)
**look at Taehyung with teary eyes
After falling asleep and waking up three years in the past, thinking of Taehyung who had died for her, she had rushed to find him, wanting to confirm this wasn't a dream.
Taehyung
**coldly glance at her
Meeting Taehyung's cold gaze, she wanted to say something but realized she couldn't tell him about her rebirth—such an extraordinary thing
Wonyoung (FL)
**sniffled
"Brother, have you been well lately?"
If this were her previous self, she would never have set foot in this cramped, grayish room, preferring to keep Taehyung as far away as possible to avoid being associated with a "failure" of an Alpha.
Taehyung’s expression remained blank, his black eyes showing no emotion
In the past, Wonyoung had hated this side of Taehyung, but not anymore
Wonyoung smiled at Taehyung for the first time, noticing he was holding a snow-white rabbit
Wonyoung (FL)
"How cute! Brother, when did you get a rabbit?"
Wonyoung reached out and took the rabbit from him before he could object
Wonyoung (FL)
"Brother, is this my birthday present?"
Looking at the calendar, she had noticed her birthday was in a few days. The rabbit must be a gift for her from Taehyung
Wonyoung (FL)
(Otherwise, given Taehyung's cold and detached personality, how could he suddenly start keeping pets?)
Suddenly being hoisted into the air by Wonyoung, Jungkook was stunned. His tiny heart hammered against his ribs
Jungkook (bunny form)
(Am I being given away to her?)
But before he could process the thought, a sharp, stinging pain flared in his side.
Wonyoung was absentmindedly—perhaps even habitually—tugging at his fur while she talked
Jungkook (bunny form)
(This omega is actually plucking my white fur out!)
Jungkook was extremely sensitive to pain, and now as a rabbit, having his fur forcibly pulled out made his red eyes well up with tears.
Wonyoung held the rabbit in one hand while stroking him with the other, happily telling Taehyung
Wonyoung (FL)
"The rabbit is really cute."
As she spoke, her hand unconsciously grabbed a tuft of the rabbit's fur and pulled it out
Wonyoung had a habit of pulling fur whenever she touched something fuzzy
As more fur was pulled out by Wonyoung, Jungkook trembled in pain
Jungkook (bunny form)
(It hurts so much.)
Jungkook (bunny form)
(No, I can't go with Wonyoung—I would end up bald!)
Jungkook began struggling, kicking his tiny legs frantically. He looked at Taehyung, thinking he would rather stay with him and eat carrots every day than become a bald rabbit.
Wonyoung (FL)
"Brother, thank you for the birthday gift. Ah, is he trying to bite me?"
Wonyoung (FL)
**held down the restless rabbit
"The rabbit is a bit fierce, I'll have to train him when I get home."
Taehyung looked down, seeing the rabbit in Wonyoung's hands struggling anxiously, its red eyes seemingly filled with tears as it looked pleadingly at him
Meeting Taehyung's gaze, Jungkook struggled even harder
Jungkook (bunny form)
(don't give me to Wonyoung!)
Taehyung
**expression remained indifferent
Having just returned from her rebirth, Wonyoung's emotions were still volatile. Confirming that Taehyung was still alive, she felt relieved.
Wonyoung (FL)
"Brother, you haven't had dinner yet, right? I won't bother you anymore."
She needed to go home and think carefully about what would happen next
Wonyoung (FL)
(I can't repeat the same mistakes.)
As more fur was pulled from his back by Wonyoung, Jungkook struggled even harder as Wonyoung prepared to leave with him.
Wonyoung's hand was scratched by the rabbit's paw, startling her into letting go. The rabbit fell straight to the floor
Jungkook was dazed from the painful fall
In his confusion, he found himself picked up by cold hands.
Looking at Taehyung who had picked him up, Jungkook didn't mind his cold hands at all. He gently licked his fingertip and affectionately nuzzled his aching head against his palm.
Jungkook (bunny form)
(Given how docile and adorable I am being, please don't send me away!)
Wonyoung (FL)
"Is the rabbit hurt?"
The baby rabbit's claws weren't sharp, and Wonyoung saw that her hand hadn't been scratched. She reached out to take the rabbit back.
Jungkook curled into a ball, wanting nothing more than to burrow into Taehyung's embrace
The snowball in his hands was soft and fluffy. Taehyung lowered his gaze to look at his fingertip, which was wet from being licked.
He moved his hand away from Wonyoung's reaching grasp.

Wonyoung (FL)
"Brother?"
**look at him questioningly
Taehyung
"I found this rabbit. It's not your birthday gift."
As soon as he finished speaking, Taehyung felt the rabbit in his palm nuzzling against his hand even more eagerly, being incredibly well-behaved.
Wonyoung finally realized her misunderstanding, but didn't feel embarrassed
Wonyoung (FL)
"Ah, so you found it."
Wonyoung (FL)
(This is fine—not accepting Taehyung's gift meant less involvement between us. In my previous life, Taehyung had died saving me. In this life, while I am grateful to him, his personality is cold and downtrodden, and he has a terminal illness—as an Omega myself, I wouldn't tether my future to a dying Alpha.)
Jungkook lay on the gray bed, his heart finally at ease
Jungkook (bunny form)
(I have almost become a bald little rabbit!)
Jungkook snorted indignantly, thinking about how Wonyoung had plucked his soft and cute fur three times
Jungkook (bunny form)
(No matter how the book described the reborn female lead as gentle and intelligent, I have lost all goodwill towards her.)
The rain outside grew heavier, pounding against the window incessantly.
Jungkook lay listlessly; thinking about the possibility of being a rabbit for the rest of his life, he couldn't even muster the energy to be angry.
After drinking some water, Taehyung picked up the dumbbell in the corner and began his workout
Jungkook watched the young Alpha perform bicep curls, one after another, at a slow but steady pace. His movements were a bit stiff, but it was clear to see the muscles on Taehyung's arms bulging, tight and firm, as if brimming with explosive power—a raw Alpha strength that seemed to defy his sickly condition.
Jungkook watched quietly, and when his gaze fell on Taehyung’s wrist, he noticed a symbol there.
He blinked hard, making sure he wasn't seeing things.
Jungkook (bunny form)
(What is that?)
He clearly saw a horizontal bar divided into ten small sections on Taehyung’s inner wrist, three of which were red, with the annotation: 3 years.
Irrelevant people
【This is your life value.】
Suddenly, a sweet, childish voice appeared in Jungkook’s mind.
He was so startled that he covered his rabbit head with his little paws, thinking he was hallucinating
The sweet voice didn't worry about scaring Jungkook to death
Irrelevant people
【One section represents one year. Taehyung’s life value shows three sections, meaning he only has three years left to live.】
Jungkook (bunny form)
**lifts his rabbit head in surprise
He looked at Taehyung, who had a stern face and was slowly and forcefully lifting the dumbbell
Jungkook (bunny form)
(He only has three years to live?)
Jungkook (bunny form)
(The male supporting character is really pitiful.)
Then, Jungkook heard the sweet voice say:
Irrelevant people
【Every time you kiss Taehyung, he gains an extra day of life.】
Each word made sense individually, but together, he didn't understand
Jungkook (bunny form)
(I kissed Taehyung once, and he could live an extra day?)
Irrelevant people
【That's right.】
Jungkook (bunny form)
**scoffed
(why should I? Taehyung’s life and death aren't my responsibility.)
Irrelevant people
【Because he picked you up.】
Jungkook (bunny form)
"......"
Jungkook admitted he wasn't a kind-hearted person. Now that he was just a rabbit, he couldn't even take care of himself, let alone someone else's life. Maybe he would die even faster than Taehyung.
Thinking about this, Jungkook felt even more distressed. He wasn't afraid of anything, except for becoming ugly and dying.
Irrelevant people
【Also, your life is bound to Taehyung’s. If he dies, you will die too.】
Upon hearing this, Jungkook’s eyes turned even redder with anger
Taehyung
**glance at his rabbit
Jungkook (bunny form)
**angry glaring at him
Jungkook (bunny form)
(I have already become a rabbit, Isn't this bad enough?)
Jungkook (bunny form)
(Now my life has to be bound to a short-lived Alpha supporting character?)
Jungkook (bunny form)
(What a tragic fate!)
Irrelevant people
【Reward: Kissing Taehyung can restore you to human form.】
As soon as the sweet voice finished, Jungkook’s red eyes lit up with excitement
Jungkook (bunny form)
[Really? Don't lie to me!]
Jungkook (bunny form)
(Kissing Taehyung could make me human again?)
Jungkook (bunny form)
(I could even kiss his lips swollen!)
Irrelevant people
【Lucky never lies.】
Jungkook slowly digested the sweet voice's words and quickly understood
So, he was the tool to save the male supporting character, and in return, Taehyung was the tool to help him become human. Moreover, their lives were bound together.
Knowing there was a way to become human again and not have to be a rabbit forever, Jungkook’s mood instantly improved. He asked if Lucky was the sweet voice's name.
Irrelevant people
【This was the name my previous master gave me. Now you are my master.】
He happily narrowed his eyes. Lucky was too common, lacking taste. He decided to rename it: Binky
Binky (Jk's system)
[I like it]
It was hard to tell how much time had passed when Taehyung finally put down the dumbbell.
Just finished with his workout, his arms were pumped with blood, muscles tight to the extreme. Feeling the muscles twitch one by one, Taehyung’s expression remained unchanged. He clenched his fists, alleviating some of the weakness.
Even if he exercised every day, it barely made a difference to his condition.
Jungkook (bunny form)
(I can become human again, Taehyung give me your lips)
**smirking bunny
Taehyung put the dumbbell back in the corner and turned around, his eyes meeting the bright eyes of the rabbit.
