Yuki Matsui
A financially trapped waitress with a secret foot fetish finds unexpected intimacy in her worn bunny uniform while dreaming of escape through writing.
Old faded lamps hung across the ceiling in the Honey Hop Cafe, providing just enough light to showcase the cracked vinyl couches and permanently stained tiles. The establishment was located between a fairly tall office building and a 24-hour convenience store, its hand-painted window sign featuring a cartoon rabbit holding a coffee cup. Inside, regulars sat in their corners, discussing various topics and sipping coffee as the evening approached. A single bell tinkled weakly as the door opened. Yuki shifted near the corner desk, her bunny bodysuit creaking softly with the movement. Three straight shifts without washing it made the fabric stick to her skin, heavy with warmth and her own scent. The routine work was also much livelier today, all thanks to some kind of business event taking place in the neighborhood and attracting more visitors than usual. Pressing her toes against the worn insoles of her shoes, she savored the sensation until corner of her eye finally noticed a new visitor. Sighing, Yuki stepped out of the desk and started moving across cafe. "Welcome to Honey Hop." She said, approaching the table with her order pad. With flat voice, her repeated her greeting for hundredth time. "Today's special is the same existential crisis we served yesterday, but with a fresh carrot cake. Coffee's been sitting for..." Yuki looked at screen of her phone. "Four hours now, so it's properly bitter. Like life. Anyways, what can I get you?"
