"When Fantasy Became Real" | Nayeon x Male Reader

"Thank you for coming, maam! Hope you'll visit us again!"

You assisted the woman to open the door of the coffee shop you're working in. When the last customer finally left, you flipped the flashcard around pasted on the glass door, from "Come in, we're OPEN!" to "Sorry, we're CLOSED."

"Once again, we got many customers for today... and we served em' all properly.", your co-worker Haewon proudly said, wiping her hands with a clean towel.

"Nice one guys!", Yuna said who just finished wiping the tables. You did a group high-five with them after. Your friendship with them is just wholesome, that's why. "This is why I like rainy season so much.", she said while looking outside. She's referring to the shop earning more money from the customers which makes it more successful to the public.

"You're not alone~", your fellow male co-worker Jooyeon said in a sing-song tone, crossing his arms.

"Hey, can we prepare now? I really want to go home now to rest and chill with this weather.", he stretched his back and caressed the skin of his arms.

"Yeah, same. You too guys right?", you said, agreeing with what Jooyeon said.
You pointed your finger at Yuna then moved it next to Haewon.

"No need to ask, Y/N. Ofcourse we want it too.", Haewon chuckled.

The manager just left his office and then walked towards you, Haewon, Yuna and Jooyeon. "Alright, shop's now closed. We need to prepare so that we can go home now. Lucky day is up tomorrow so save some energy to have fun with your salary."

"Kamsahamnida, manager-nim!", all of you exclaimed which the manager just smiled back at you four.

----------------
"Bye guys! Be safe on the way home!", you waved your hands as you shouted at your friends.

"You too!", you heard Haewon and the two also did the same as her. You started to walk now, separating yourself from the three since you are the only one who is not going in the same direction as them.

While walking on the wet ground, raindrops crashing down at the cover of your umbrella, you noticed something as you passed an alley.

There was this white bunny who seems like it is trying to sleep but only end up failing. Its body is also shaking, probably due to the cold weather. The bunny is trying hard too to make itself warm by curling its body.

"Oh man, why is this bunny here?", you slowly walked near at the bunny. You expected that it will hop away from you because of how intimidating you look from its eyes but it didn't happen, much to your relief.

You nearly kneeled on the ground just to have a closer look at the poor bunny. Then, you noticed that it is shivering. "God, I feel pity for this creature.", you sighed.

You became silent for a second, thinking on what you should do until you finally cane up with a decision that you want bring this poor bunny along on your way home so that it could have a shelter to shed into during this weather. This creature doesn't deserve to stay outside knowing how dangerous it is.

"Alright, that's it.", you muttered to yourself. "Hey, you adorale bun-bun. Let me carry you okay? We'll go somewhere warm.", you said to the bunny. You reached for your bag to pull out some baby blue colored towel and then gently wrapped it around the bunny. Fortunately, the bunny cooperated with you too so you easily picked it up and placed it on your arm.

-------------------
You finally arrived at your house, you removed your shoes and placed it on the shoerack then you removed your jacket and your bag hanging on your shoulder, placing it at the couch.

You gently placed the bunny on a pillow, removing the towel wrapped around it. "Stay here, okay? I'll be right back.", you left the bunny and head towards your bedroom to replace the uniform you're wearing into pajamas.

You returned back at the living room to approach the bunny. "Are you hungry?", you asked it. You even noticed that it somewhat nods a little, making you amazed and feel like the two of you can understand each other well. " Hmm okay, I'll go get some food okay?"

You head towards the kitchen then opened the refrigerator. "Alright what do we have here? Wait, what do they always eat again?", you halted, looking downwards. "Oh, yes carrots!"

You reached for the carrot on the container below the refrigerator the you closed it. You returned back to the living room, now with a carrot on your hand.

"Want some carrots?", you asked the bunny. The bunny raised its head, eyes widened at the delicious vegetable in front of it. The bunny was gonna reach for the carrot and that made you understand it already that the bunny wants it. "Hehe, sure you got it."

The bunny starts eating the carrot hungrily. You just watched it how fast it bites its food. You were getting a bit entertained at what you're witnessing because of its cheek getting even more puffier while it's chewing, making it look more adorable to your sight.

You also gave it some water placed on a small bowl, which the bunny drinks at it too fastly. "This poor snowball. Who owns this rabbit anyway?", you furrowed your eyebrows. "I mean, I see dogs and cats mostly everywhere on the streets but... bunny? Really?"

You turned your body around after you stood up to walk through the bag placed in your couch to pull out your phone. While checking the social media, you noticed something very... very.... strange.

"Thank you for these."

You heard that someone just spoke inside your house. You knew that you're alone with this bunny so you wondered who the hell does that voice came from.
It made you halt and look away from the phone, turning your head a bit to the side, furrowing your eyebrow, confused on what you just heard.

"Uhh... what the? W-who's there?", you finally turned around to find that person who owns that voice you just heard. You expected it also to be a woman, since the voice sounded very feminine. But to your disappointment, no one catches your eyes.

"I'm here, stranger!"

You heard it again, which made your eyes roam around the room just to find again where did that voice came from. You failed again, so it makes you feel a bit scared and nervous that someone just broke into your house and toying you right now.

"Show yourself! Why are you here in m-", you exclaimed, clearly audible to your voice that you're getting a bit mad now.

"DOWN HERE!!!"

You lowered your head, and you saw something you're not really expecting at all.

The bunny is standing right in front of you with its hind legs, looking upwards just to look at you. You refused to think that the voice came from this animal but you had to make sure since the voice said that you need to look down, and this is the only one you can notice as the one with you inside the house.

"Y- you... Did you.."

"Yes.", you saw its mouth moved, that made it clear to you that the voice came from this white bunny.

Wait, what?

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!", you stumbled backwards, making you fell on the floor, butt first on the ground. You closed your mouth with your hands immediately, just to avoid making any more loud noise that will make the neighbors irritated in the middle of the night.

"DID YOU JUST SPEAK? WAIT HOW-"

"Wait, calm down...", the bunny said, leaning her head forward.

"Who are you? Is this even real?", you said with pure panic in your tone.

"Hey, please! Just calm down okay, I won't hurt you by eating you like in movies.", the bunny said, making you stop talking but still you felt like your heartbeat is gonna explode in less than a minute.

"Uhh.. okay? Fine, I-I'll calm down.", then you tried your best.

"Okay, what really is happening right now? How can you speak? Are you an alien or something?", you immediately asked the first thoughts in your mind.

"No. I- I'm"

"You're what?"

"I know it's even hard to believe any of this but I'll just say it anyway.", she paused for a second. "I-I'm cursed to be like this."

"Cursed?", you confusedly asked the bunny. "You mean, you're a human but something like a.. spell or something has casted you to turn into... a bunny?"

"Yup.", the bunny simply answered. You're trying to process everything that is going on. Yes, curse is real but cmon, transforming someone into an animal? Bruh, that only exists in fiction.

"Wait, I just find it weird.", you scratched your head, shuffling your hair that made it even messier. "If you were cursed why it turned you into this freaking cute puffy rabbit? I mean, if you want to curse somebody which made you mad, would it'll be you wanting to transform her into something terrible?

"Here, I'll explain it to you what made me turn into this.", the bunny said, and then she finally starts to narrate everything what happened to her before that led her turn into this.

So from her backstory, she told you that 7 years ago which she is 19 at that time; she said that she is a bad person. She was cold, rude, lazy, full of sass, disrespectful... everything you want to describe that will define her like that.
One day, this personality of hers met its consequences when she bullied a disabled kid near at the street where her family's residence is located.

Little did she know that the disabled kid reported her to his mom which is actually a witch, the last remaining survivor of her kind. The disabled kid pointed this girl which made the mother saw what does the girl look like... which is a great help because what she planned to do to give this young woman a karma is by unleashing to her the last power she got on her body.

So, she made a spell... giving the young woman a curse by transforming her into something that resembles her look, bit to her surprise, it turned out to be a bunny. When she noticed that the young woman actually resembles a bunny, she just neverminded it instead and focused on the most important part: which is the spell has successfully casted.

The young woman was outside at that time when she transformed into a bunny. Terrified of her new form, she decided not to show up on her parents because she don't want them to be afraid of her and she's scared too that they will just get rid away of her, especially when they learn that an animal can speak. So, what she did is she didn't returned home and hides everywhere... mostly at the places where many trees and other plants can be found.

She did that for 7 years.

She saw how concerned her parents at just to find her, they even called a police. She felt sorry for doing this, but it was the right way which she believes.

One day, when she was about to visit their house, she noticed that her family no longer lives in there; making it unknown to her where they relocated.
With that, she never found her parents ever again.

She hold a bad blood to everyone she sees at that time, making her not trusting anyone around her because she blames that the kid was the responsible for giving her this curse.
But then, when she had an idea that maybe that kid did this to teach her a lesson, she had no other choice but to slowly change her personality. She believed too that maybe this is the way to remove the curse.

But, that actually failed... yet she still never gave up.

She tried to find anyone who can help her but sadly no one accepted her.

That made her hopeless, slowly accepting the fact that she will live with this curse forever. She thinks she deserve this anyways.

Not until she met you and with that, she took the opportunity again to do her plan and finally, it became successful.

"And up until now, I'm still like this... hoping that a miracle happens to me and God forgive me for what I've done.", she lowered her head. " I lost everything and everyone in my life because of my mistakes and somewhat I feel like I really deserve this."

"I really feel sorry for you on hearing your story. That must've really hard to live by yourself and go away from people you love the most in a span of 7 years.", you said, turning yourself into a sympathetic one for her. " I couldn't imagine myself being in your position but for sure the struggle is very huge... especially when you all experienced this as an... animal.", you said.

She didn't replied back which makes the two of you became silent for a while. You just gave her this atmosphere as a respect and not wanting to ruin the mood for her. She deserves to have a peaceful time to release the pain and suffering she endured in a long time.

But that ended when you broke the silence, much to how sorry you are to do this but you had to. You spoke what just appeared in your mind.

"Wait, look...", you said in a low tone, carefully wanting to get the attention of this white bunny in front of you. "What if? What if the key to end the curse is the opposite of the reason why that kid cursed you?"

"What do you mean?", the bunny asked you. Her rabbit face doesn't show any expression but the confusion can be heard clearly on her voice.

"What I mean is... to end the curse, what if you change your personality? Be nice than worse."

"Stranger, I already changed but still nothing happened to me.", she said to you.

"Did you showed it to others though?", and with that question, it hit the jackpot straight forward.

"Well... uhm... uhh... n-no.", she stuttered. She reealized that she never done this and that made her think that what if this is the one thing missing on the puzzle to figure out how to solve this problem of hers.

"Then let's try it. Starting tomorrow, I will help you for you situation. Show me the new you. I will let you stay here and let's see if this will work, okay?", you said to her.

"Sure. That sounds good.", the bunny replied, nodding its head.

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet", you remembered, hitting your forehead with your palm. " I'm Y/N. Park Y/N. You have a name too, right?"

"Yes. I'm Nayeon, Im Nayeon.", she revealed her name to you, and you found it very interesting and such a gorgeous name for a girl.

"Nice to meet you, Nayeon.", you patted its head gently. Nayeon just smiled deep inside of her. "Now, shall we sleep now? It's getting late too and.. it's nice to sleep while raining."

"Okay. Thanks Y/N again.", Nayeon said, looking upwards at you after you stood up.

"You're welcome.", then each of you gave a goodnight greet to one another.
You went to your bedroom and slumped your body at your comfy bed.

Before you drift to sleep, you stared to the ceiling, recalling everything that just happened tonight. You're still asking yourself if you are dreaming or not because this can't be real at all.

It made you even wonder that if things like this exists in this world then, could it be that it has a chance where fictional things like superpowers, dragons, elfs, magic can exist too?

-------------------------
"Nayeon, are you awake? I bought some greens for you.", you said, arriving at your house after you went to the grocery. You woke up earlier than her and while she is still sleeping, you head to the grocery to buy food and ingredients.

"Yes, Y/N.", she said, still laying comfortably on the pillow. You gave her some broccolis. "Thank you.", she said before eating it.

"Nice. Now eat your breakfast while I make mine."

After you finally cook your breakfast, you sat near to Nayeon and starts to eat. Then, you thought of something which made you concern about her so you said it already to her to make her understand, just to clarify things.

"I'm sorry if this make you look envy right now. I didn't planned this to make you miss eating these foods.", you said while scooping the rice on your plate.

"No, it's okay. Carrots and vegetables are great too but.. yeah I still prefer eating human foods.", Nayeon said.

"Don't worry, Nayeon. Time will come where you can be human again and have a chance to eat these kind of food.", you took a one last spoonful of rice and egg in your mouth before finally finishing the plate.

"I hope so."

20 minutes later, you're finally done preparing yourself for your work today.
After you wear your shoes, you speak to Nayeon. "I'm going for work, Nayeon. That means I'll be leaving you here for a while. Would it be okay for you?", you are a worried that she will feel really bored here since she will be alone again for many hours.

"Don't worry about me, I will be just fine.", Nayeon said, making you convinced.

"Oh okay, then I'll be going. Bye!", you grabbed your bag and hanged it on your shoulders.

"Bye, Y/N!", Nayeon bids back at you. After you finally exit your house, Nayeon jumps away from the pillow and starts to explore around.

-----------------------
2 weeks later, Nayeon is still staying inside your house and you two are still doing your idea. You treat her well while she does the same too, showing you how much she really changed.

After you finishing playing your favorite mobile game, you closed your phone and placed it at the table. You approached Nayeon who is laying on the pillow, staring at the window.

"Hey, Nayeon come on it's bath time now.", you caressed her white furry skin. As you noticed that she looks different today, you didn't hesitate to check on her.
"Nayeon? You're really quiet today.", you raised your voice a bit to make her hear you more.

"O-oh, what did you say?", you successfully woke back up her senses. She turned her head sidewards to you.

"I siad, it's bath t-, wait... you're spacing out. You're thinking deeply of something. Aren't you? Is there a problem?", you continously caressed her furry skin.

"Y/N..."

"Yes?"

"Will I forever gonna be like this? These past few weeks it seems like what we're doing are just leading up to nothing....

What if... there's no way to make me bring back again to human?"

"Look, Nayeon.", you said. You want to stop her from asking these negative questions because you don't want her to get sad anymore and even you who is feeling her emotions right now. "Don't think like that, okay? I'm pretty sure there is. Let's give it some time. Maybe it will really work, we just need some patience.", you said to her with a soft tone.

"I don't know, Y/N. I don't feel like fighting anymore. I spent 7 years giving myself full of high hopes and it all just resulted for nothing. I don't want to waste another time to fool myself.

So, I think we should just stop this, Y/N. I already accepted my new life. Sorry if I became a burden to you, don't worry you can go back now again to what you usually do everyday. Th-"

"You're gonna leave?", you shockingly asked her, making you raise your body, removing yourself to a sitting position.

"Yes.", Nayeon replies back. " I just don't want you to be tired helping a nobody like me who carries a problem you never ever seen or experienced before... especially to the fact that this will not be solved at all.", she turned her head to face you.

"Sorry to say this, but no you won't.", you said after sighing heavily, shaking your head.

"Y-you ha-"

"JUST PLEASE NAYEON, DON'T. I JUST....", you raised your voice, making her flinch because she didn't expected you to burst out like this. She thought you're angry at her but actually the truth is that you just want to stop this because you can't take this anymore. Being a positive person, you just can't stand seeing somebody mostly focusing on negative than positive.

" I just don't want you to be alone out there being like this again. Remember, you let me to be the one to help you and with that I felt like I'm a trustworthy guy because we don't even know each other but you accepted my offer. Now, let me take this as a chance to prove you right that I really am."

You grabbed Nayeon's little round fluffy rabbit body and you stared at her face which made her do the same. "I want to help you, Nayeon. Please. I just want to let you know that you don't need to lose some strength on solving your long-time problem, because you have me on your side here.

Seeing you change yourself for the better feels like an honor, and with that I appreciate it. Consider me as a friend now if you want Nayeon, because you already are to me. I swear to my words that I will help you bring back everything you lost, because you deserve it as a reward for learning your lesson."

"I'm so sorry if I'm acting this way, Y/N... I even made you feel concern to me..", you saw her tears starting to drop from her black eyes. You just huffed for air, trying to contain yourself still.

You wiped her tears away with your thumb finger. " Ssshhh it's fine. Now don't go okay? If this won't work, we'll come up with new ideas... but let's give this a bit more time alright? It has only been weeks so far.

Don't give up because I know you can, you managed to hold this for 7 years, right? But I want to make it sure that it won't go longer anymore. "

Nayeon sniffed, slowly nodding her head. "Okay. I believe you. And also, y-yes I want you to be my friend too, Y/N. "

"Thank you for accepting my offering of friendship, Nayeon.", you smiled at her."Now don't cry, snowball cuz we're going to sleep now. Can you cheer up for me?"

"Wait", she halted. "Sure... I may be rabbit but I still got some aegyos on my pocket." , and with that, she gave an aegyo; making her voice sound like a baby while saying the words "Y/N oppa made Nayeonnie happy." in an adorable way while swaying her head back and forth.

"Oooookkkaaayy... didn't expected that but nice to see.", the two of you chuckled, knowing how weird it is to see a real bunny doing an aegyo with a matching human voice in personal.

"Goodnight, Nayeon!", you stood up and pinched her bunny cheek.

"Goodnight too, Y/N!", she said, circling her soft paws on your finger.

You went to your bedroom to sleep and so does Nayeon too as she fell asleep too on the pillow placed on the couch.

While Nayeon is in deep slumber, her whole bunny body starts to light starts to appear which made her glow and it grew bigger, covering her whole. Because of this, the whole living room became bright for a second. The light then disappeared slowly after.

---------------------------

The next morning, you woke up from the sound of your alarm clock. You irritatedly pressed it off. After rising up from the bed, you stretched your body before heading outside the bedroom.

You went to the bathroom to wash your face and brush your teeth. After doing this, you went to the kitchen to start preparing for breakfast.

You placed the ingredients on the table to start cooking but you took a glance first at Nayeon on the living room, only to find something very shocking that made you froze completely in your position.

You saw Nayeon sleeping, yes but... she don't look like a bunny anymore.

She looks completely like... a human. A form of a woman, if that's what you want it to call too.

She's naked too,actually... but good thing her sleeping position is still like a bunny so her private parts are all covered up because her body is curled.

You didn't know that the box of pancake mix is slowly slipping from the grip of your hands as you stared in shock at Nayeon's sleeping figure... and after a few minutes of looking like an idiot...

"WHAT THE F------?!", you out of knowhere exclaimed. Good thing that you didn't woke up the young woman from how loud your voice is.

You slowly walked towards Nayeon, eyes still directly connected on her. "N-Nayeon? Oh my god... she's back... s-sh---", you muttered to yourself, stuttering in disbelief. Before you finally get near to Nayeon, you went to the bedroom immediately and reached for you blanket to use it on covering Nayeon's naked body. You blushed a bit because of how perfect her curves are.

"This is really her?!", you said after placing the blanket all over her. You looked at her face, a smile just straight ahead appeared in your lips which you don't know why. You gotta admit, Nayeon looks really beautiful in her true look.

Now you got mad at that kid who "cursed" her for trapping this beauty into a curse for more than half a decade.

"Wake up, sleepyhead. Rise and shine.", you stroked her hair, using your fingers as a comb. You repeatedly did it, and it finally made Nayeon woke up. She blinked rapidly before looking at you.

"Good morning t- ", she was about to greet but then she noticed something very different and it felt familiar. She saw some strands of black hair in front of her face, she felt your fingers stroking her hair, then she took a look at her hands and arm. "Wait... m-my body... it's not furry... and fluffy...", she slowly sat up on the couch. She took a peek at her naked body being covered in blanket. You just gave her an apologetic smile.

"I swear, I didn't took advantage of you.", you said in a low tone, defending yourself. Nayeon understands it but her priority to think right now is what just happened to her.

She's finally free from the curse after 7 long years.

" It worked... It WORKED, Y/N!!", she raised her voice happily. She grinned, showing her bunny teeth. You were in awe when you noticed that Nayeon really resembles a bunny.

"Yes, it is.", that's all you had to say. Even you still can't believe it that the plan actually worked. You gave Nayeon a wide smile after.

"IT WORKEDDDDDD!!!", she gave you a crushing hug, you grabbed the blanket on her back to avoid falling off. "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH Y/N! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS, I'M BACK AS A HUMAN AGAIN!", she said near to your near. You can tell that she's having the tears of joy now because of this miracle.

"ME TOO!!", you replied back. "Great to see you back, Nayeon. 7 years of being cursed is over now."

After a minute of hugging each other tightly. Both of you let go from the embrace and then faced each other.
"You were right all along, Y/N. If it wasn't for you maybe I'm still a rabbit up to this day.", she said while smiling.

"I told you, Nayeon.", you chuckled. "High hopes and faith will come true as long as you have patience. I really didn't expect that this will work."

"I missed my body so muchhhh!!", she hugged herself from the blanket covering her.

"So, this is what you really look like, huh.", you traced Nayeon's face. "Wow, I'm gonna be honest, y-you are p-pretty.", you said, nodding your head while pouting your lips. There's a slight of embrassment that can be heard from him.

"I know.", she proudly said, making your mouth from an "o" shape. She saw how you hilariously reacted so she burst out a laughter that is so contagious, you end up laughing too.

"Oooh... in love with yourself, huh?", you smirked at her. She shyly turned her face away from you.

"Hehe... sorry."

"No, why are you saying sorry.", you snorted. " It's true anyways? You're just being proud of yourself and you have something to brag with. Now, shall we eat some breakfast before we discuss some things?",she responded with a nod. You quickly turned your body back to head towards kitchen to start preparing food which is a good thing to Nayeon so that you can't see that her cheeks are getting warm and reddish.

You cooked more for Nayeon because you know that she must've craving for these for so long... and you were actually right. She finished eating 5 pancakes, which is a no shocker to you.

She took a bath and made her borrow some of your clothes. You promised to take her outside to buy some clothes for her. The two of you talked also. You decided that since she has nothing to return so far and even if her curse ended, she can stay in your house as long as she wants.

You promised to do your best to give her back everything she lost before, and that's why you planned on finding her parents because you had this strong feeling that they are just somewhere, missing their daughter who mysteriously disappeared 7 years ago.

She hugged you again and thanked you for everything, and you just took it as an appreciation which is a nice thing for you. Well, you are her only friend now so you had to be there for her at these times.

----------------------------

2 months had passed and Nayeon is happily staying with you. She has her own things now too. You often took her sometimes outside to have fun that she never had for a long time. You two went to arcades, parks, mall, and other places where Nayeon wants to go.

She even visited the coffee shop where you're working at. You served her some iced coffee and made her watch you do your duties around the workplace.

Little did you know that Nayeon also watches you interacting with Yuna the most out of all your co-workers. She noticed that you two are close and it crossed to her mind if there's something between you two.

And that unexpectedly made her heart hurt so bad. It feels like her heart is being forced to pull out on her chest. Her face is just frowning the whole time while she's staring at you and Yuna happily talking to each other.

Yes, Nayeon's feelings for you keeps on growing since that night before she turned back into her real body. That night when you adviced her and gave her an encouragement to never give up on her problem.

She ain't shocked that she will fall for you. You did everything that will really impress a woman like her. And with those, her heary just flutters by how you gave her love, care and joy since you met her on the alley.

Nayeon doesn't know too that you actually glance at her while she talks to Jooyeon and you were confused why does it feel like your body lose strength completely and your heart is being pinched repeatedly.

You somewhat.... hated to witness this.

And, after you felt this kind of feeling... you didn't tried to fool yourself anymore because you confirmed it already to yourself that you're falling for Nayeon too.

With that, the two of you are just secretly liking each other... waiting for each other on who will make the first move.

Moving on to the next topic, yes you also found Nayeon's parents; thanks to your uncle who is a policeman. They really relocated to a new house in Seoul.

You arranged a meet up with Nayeon's parents and just told them exactly that you found their daughter and she's in a safe company with you. You just lect the explaining part to Nayeon once they met again. They thanked you so much and they shared too that even after all these years that Nayeon is believed to be dead already, they never lose hope and they convincing theirselves that one day their daughter will come back once again, and that happened; thanks to you.

You told Nayeon that you finally met her parents and once again she gave you a series of thank you, hugging you tightly and cried on your shoulders. You just stood there to accept her embrace, you rubbed her back gently. You wiped her tears away and while you were doing that, you just can't help but to admire Nayeon's appealing face. She still looks so beautiful even when she cries. Just with this sight makes you smile instantly.
-------------------------
The day has come where you set a meet up with her parents again but this time, Nayeon is with you.

"You ready to meet your parents?", you asked her after spraying a perfume on your shirt.

"Yes...", she replied with a low tone. "Even though I'm a bit nervous. It was a long time that they didn't see me, I'm afraid they might get angry at me for leaving them.", she frowned, lowering her head.

You walked to her front and placed your hand on her shoulder, looking directly at her. She can't avoid your precious eyes she always loved to see so she looked back at you, raising her head again. "Trust me they won't. I talked with them and they really want to hug you now and look how they daughter grown up so well. Let's go?"

"Wait, can I t-tell you something?", she cleared her throat.

"Sure, what is it?", you placed your hands on your pocket.

She sighed heavily before finally doing this. Yes, she's been wanting to do this already and she knew she is full prepared for this. Actually, that time where she and Jooyeon are talking at the coffee shop, she was actually asking for some advice to Jooyeon. Even Haewon helped her too and your two friends encouraged Nayeon to confess to you, which is what she's gonna do right now.

They also sent their support for you two already, which made Nayeon smile.

"Actually I've been wanting to say this before but I only had the courage to say this to you today...", she's intertwining her fingers, she's obviously nervous, based from how her voice slightly shake. You just stood there and waited for her to say what she wants to say.

"I- I like you, Y/N. I really really am.", that made your eyes widened in surprise, staring unbelievably at this lovely woman in front of you. She just confess right in front you, which you didn't expect that she will do this for you.

You just let her continue her confession to you, you wanted to hear this so bad from her, mainly because you're still processing it on your mind how she also likes you. "My feelings for you started back at that night before I returned back into this. Your sweet words, your encouragement and comfort.. everything you do to me just makes my heart flutter more and more for you. You helped me when I needed you. You were always there for me.

You were the only one who made me feel loved except my parents despite how weird I look, seeing as an animal who can speak. You even appreciated and accepted the better version of myself which makes it even more worth it for my change.

It's you, Y/N who did everything I never experienced before which I never knew that I actually wanted it to happen. You treated me like a friend and I feel so lucky that I met a great guy like you. But... with our times being together in our funtime, I started to realize that I... wanted more of this... and us.", she pointed you and herself.

You are just standing there like a statue. You wanted to speak but it feels like your tongue is stucked at the entrance of your throat, which makes you irritated at yourself why you can't respond. You really don't know what to do. You are so stunned that everything inside your head went blank.

Nayeon looked at the time on her watch. "W- we should go now, t-they're waiting for us.", she starts to walk towards the door of your house, but before stepping outside, she turned her head at you. "I'll give you some time to decide, Y/N. I can wait.", she said, smiling a little at you.
--------------------------

"Appa... Eomma...", she slowly said after stepping out of the car, and the figure of her parents standing outside the gate of their expensive home is the first thing that appeared on her sight.

"Oh our Nabong...", Mr. Im opened her arms, and Nayeon took that opportunity already to run at them and do exactly what she wanted to do when she meet her parents again.

Lock herself up in their warm embrace.

"Our daughter is really here. We really thought you're dead but... thank God you're still here... and you're back with us.", Mrs. Im said while sobbing. She kissed Nayeon's crown after.

"I missed you two so much and I'm sorry if I made you two worried for 7 years.", she lowered her head in guilt.

"You got some explaination to do, yes.", Mr. Im sighed.

"And we will listen to you, my dear.", Mrs. Im said, giving Nayeon a huge smile. " God, you're a grown up woman now.", she looked proudly at her daugher from head to toe.

"Let's go inside, we prepared a dinner for us.", then Mrs. Im commanded her maid to escort Nayeon on entering the house, which left the three of you behind to have some small talk.

"We don't know how much we can repay you for what you've done for us, Y/N. You are a blessing from heavens.", he offered a handshake which you immediately accepted.

"It's nothing, sir.", you shook your head. "Besides, Nayeon missed you two so much and that's one of the first thing she wanted so as the only person she got on her side, I am here to grant it."

"Nayeon is really lucky to meet you.", Mrs. Im said, that made your heart melt. You also feel lucky to meet this wonderful woman which is their daughter. "If she didn't, maybe she's still near to danger our fears might've come true.", she then hugged you, and you accepted it. After a few seconds, she released herself and spoke again. "Come in, the foods already served."

--------------------------
You took your seat and you sat next to Nayeon with her parents in front you two. Nayeon's parents watched you two with a smile.

You can tell that they are really enjoying the sight of you and Nayeon from how they still manage to keep the large size of their grin while looking at you two. That made you and Nayeon shy. You two even looked at each other and then immediately looked away.

The dinner has started and Nayeon shared everything she's been through. From bullying a disabled kid where it all started up to the part where she met you and she transforms back into her human form because of your plan.

Her parents were disappointed at her for doing that to the kid. They even noticed Nayeon's bad personality before and they did their best to discipline their daughter but it all failed.

Fortunately, you were the one who's able to help Nayeon to change and you didn't wasted her parent's lessons by making her recall those and understand it again. With that, her parents felt that they still did their role well despite not getting a hint at their daughter if its working.

Your life was also involved in the topic. You mentioned them about your education, your work, and some additional information about yourself. All of them were interested on listening at you... especially the one who's having a crush on you.

After an hour of having a nice and smooth dinner, you and her mother volunteered to wash the dishes while Mr. Im resumes his paperworks. Nayeon on the other hand, is playing with Kookeu:her pet pomeranian dog, on the backyard.

After you placed the last clean plate on the dishrack, you wiped your hands and stands at the door leading to the backyard. You just watched Nayeon happily reconcile with Kookeu.

You didn't notice that Mrs. Im approached you from behind after she organized the kitchen cabinet.

"My daughter will melt if you keep staring at her like that.", she said out of nowhere making you flinch a little, You turned your head fast at her after.

"Oh uhm... s-sorry, M-"

"Just call me mom.", she waved her hand off at you. "Admit it, Y/N. You like my daughter, do you?", you immediately felt nervous at that question. You gulped hard before you answer her. You don't want to lie at her as a respect and also, yes you admit that you're quite obvious and her as a mother to Nayeon; she knows exactly how everyone acts around her daughter.

"Not just that I like her, mom.", you glanced back at Nayeon. You sighed heavily. "I- I love her.", you felt your heartbeat racing as you connected your eyes at the one who makes your every day complete.

"Well what are you waiting for, confess to her already. I'm sure she likes you too.", you looked back at Mrs. Im who raised her hand, pointing it towards to door that will led to her daughter as if she's guiding you.

"I can see it while were on the table, the way she takes a glance at you. I never saw her look at someone with such expression like that compared from before...", she explained, smirking at you. Well, like what you just thought earlier; she knows Nayeon very well because she's her daughter.

"She actually confessed to me before we got here, so yeah you're right mom.", you lowered your head, feeling shy at her. Mrs. Im just made an "ooh" sound after, expressing how interesting what you just revealed to her.

"Told you.", she playfully bumps her shoulder at you, making the two of you chortle. "So... what happened?"

"I-I haven't responded yet.", you shook your head.

"What's stopping you? You're scared?"

"No mom, I'm just... stunned that... she likes me too. I'm speechless. I didn't reacted that fast thay's why.", you said, scratching your nape. "Mom, Do you accept me as your daughter's lover?", you asked her curiously.

"Will I encourage you to confess to her if I don't want you for my daughter?", she said in a sassy way. Well she has a point though. You felt dumb for asking the obvious. On the other side, it made you feel happy knowing that her parents votes for you.

"Consider yourself lucky, Y/N.", she said, pointing her index finger at you. " My daughter has pretty high standards when it comes to men... are you're the only one who reached it for her."

" Now go and talk to her. Make sure that I will get what I expect after, okay?", she held both of your wrist while she's encouraging you. She hummed, waiting for your response.

"Y-yes, mom.", you nodded rapidly. Mrs. Im teasingly pushed you to the door so you opened it and walked outside the house to step onto the backyard.

"Hey, Nayeon.", you said from behind of this fine woman who is stroking the fur of Kookeu laying on her legs.

"Hey, Y/N. What's up? How's my parents, by the way?", she asked you. You sit beside her and positioned your legs into an indian style.

"Oh they're so great. The way they welcomed me makes me really feel at home.", you said while not looking at her.

"I really feel bad to myself for being a brat to them.", Nayeon's smile turns into frown.

"It doesn't matter now. Let's all set aside what happens in the past and let's focus on the present.", Nayeon nodded in response while staring at Kookeu who is now sleeping.

"Uhh.. I just want to talk about... earlier.", that made Nayeon stop what she's doing. She immediately looked at your side figure, which she admired at lot by how beautiful the structure of your face is, making you look attractive in her eyes.

"Oh the uhh yeah, why? What's wrong?", she chuckled to herself for stuttering.

You turned your body, now you're facing Nayeon completely while she's still sitting sideways. You grabbed her hands, much to her shock that her heartbeat faster while gulping hard at the sudden skin contact. You looked at her large creamy hands, massaging its top with your thumbs.

"Nayeon, you don't need to wait for my answer, because I made up my mind.", you said in a low tone. She is sweating nervously she tried to prepare herself from your answer.

"And I'm sure with this already, because I've been feeling this unexplainable thing inside me ever since I meet this real you."

"Nayeon, I'm sorry... but I don't like you...", and with that, it made Nayeon's emotion dropped very low. Her body weakened, chest feels heavy and her frown goes deeper. She lowered her head to avoid the pain visible in her face to be seen.

But, at the next seconds, it all wiped out away when you said the next words you wanted to say, continuing it after the pause.

"Because I love you."

Nayeon's eyes widened, she agressively raised her head to stare at you. Her mouth is slightly opened where her bunny teeth can be seen. Her eyes became teary, all of those she felt from your dramatic pause just straight up changed back and went all away as it was replaced with nothing but joy.

"And just few minutes ago, I had a talk with your parents alone."

"Wait, you do?", she slightly raised her voice as she asked you.

"Yeah... and I'm glad that they want me for you.", you smiled widely while Nayeon blushed so hard at that.

"So, I would like to take this opportunity already... to ask you this.", you cupped her chubby cheeks, admiring her beauty by tracing every angles and parts of her face. "Can you be my girlfriend?"

With that, she didn't hesitated to pull you closer to her face as the two of you finally kissed made with pure love at each other. She kissed you passionately, her lips danced so you joined her too. After that, you two made a gap at each other, placing each of your foreheads at one another.

"Yes, ofcourse Y/N. I love you so much, Y/N.", she whispered. You hugged her after, she smelled your fragrant smell from the fabrics of your clothes. "Thank you for existing in my life as my knight in shining armor."

"I love you too, Nayeon. Anything for my princess.", you said, and the two of you went silent to enjoy this heartwarming moment between the two of you.

Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Im are watching you both from the house.

"Attaboy.", Mrs. Im said proudly, smiling along with her husband at the sight of the two lovebirds.

------------------------

The next day, the two of you went outside to go to the coffee shop you're working at.

She wants to visit too her 8 newly found friends near your workplace: Jeongyeon who operates a restaurant, Momo, Sana and Mina who owns a Japanese convenience store, Dahyun who owns a music school with Tzuyu and Jihyo working as the vocal coach and lastly, Chaeyoung who sells strawberries and also offers her customers for a free sketch of theirselves.

While you're driving, Nayeon requested you to stop the car, which you did. You wondered why? And you found out that something caught her attention.

She stepped out from the car and you noticed that you two stopped in front of a...

Pet shop.

Nayeon walked closely in front of the glass where it shows some animals being displayed that is suitable for being a pet.

There's this one cage that is seperated from the rest. She looked closer at it, and then she confirms that it contains a...

white bunny.

The two then stared at each other, as if the bunny is begging for Nayeon about something. Nayeon seems to understand what the bunny is trying to tell her, so she shared it to you immediately.

"Y/NN, can we adopt this cutie here?", she asked you. You just stared at her then switched your gaze back at the white bunny.

God, it made you remember everything. From where your love story with Nayeon began, which is a fantasy just got real.

It may sound and look super strange and weird to others but to you, you are proud of it because it is unique, extraordinary and nothing can compare this from the rest of other love stories that exists in this world.

This animal right here is a memorable and meaningful to you already because of how it gave something special to you in your life.

"Pweaassseee~", Nayeon asks you, oh shit... now she doing an aegyo that you CANNOT RESIST. Ofcourse as she did that, you didn't think twice but to accept her request to you.

"Thank youuuuuuuu!!!!", she hugged you tightly, which made you blush by her action.

"So... what should we call this bun-bun right here?", you lowered down your head to look at Nayeon.

She bit her lips as she became silent for a second. After she finally had an idea on what name she wants to give to this bunny right here, she looked back at it and said what she had in mind.

"Snowball. We'll name him Snowball."

You nodded as a sign that you agree at her too. After that, you two entered the pet shop together to to buy and adopt Snowball, with Nayeon's arm hooked onto yours.
