A tiny sneeze drew his attention further into the trees, and the door shut behind him with a soft sigh, keeping in its warmth. Just beyond the trees, sitting out of the snow on a fallen log, sat a rabbit as white as the snow, holding a handkerchief to its nose and squinting at its watch with sleepy, teary eyes.

Chanyeol meant to approach carefully. It wasn't every day he saw a rabbit wearing clothes and using a watch, but his mouth had other ideas.

“Hey!”

The rabbit jumped straight up with another sneeze and bolted into the trees.

“Well, now you've done it. He was skittish before; now he'll be plain impossible.”

“Huh? Oh … . Hi.” A deer chewed on a patch of lichen pulled from a tree at Chanyeol's shoulder. It wasn't very large, but its antlers held enough of a threat for Chanyeol to shuffle a few feet away.

The deer watched him. Never before had Chanyeol ever seen such a clear message of Really, ? conveyed just through eating.
