Hi guys,

Is it common usage to use the phrase "soon after" seperately without explanatory words after them?

As for your reference, there is a sentence below.

Thanks~

One day, a little rabbit saw an older rabbit digging a hole in the ground and decided to dig one himself. After a while of digging, he felt tired.

As he was taking a rest by the hole, he saw a girl rabbit digging a hole on a slope near a tree, and he thought it might be easier to dig the hole over there (as the ground is less hard), so he started digging a new hole next to her.
