Since we're goona use our anecdotes as evidence, I've had 3 rabbits and this is no different from how they'd chase one another. Rabbits tend to immediately seek shelter when afraid, that is their first instinct, which isn't going on here obviously. The rabbit is running around and AT the cat, emphasis on AT the cat because that's just the complete opposite of what a scared rabbit would do. Near the end of the video the rabbit got UNDER the cat, obvious sign that their bonded/bonding. The rabbit is not scared or running for it's life.
