Bunny’s on break, human’s gone too, 15Please respect copyright.PENANAqmmEWnv8jQ
The boss is left with nothing to ship——just the script.15Please respect copyright.PENANATB60wvUvao
15Please respect copyright.PENANAqOZiCo0Z8N
The meeting room’s AC was, for some reason, colder than usual today.
The boss had called it an “emergency discussion,”15Please respect copyright.PENANAqoZghMzRn9
but the director had been sitting there since 10 a.m.——and it was now 10:30.
No projector. No lights.15Please respect copyright.PENANARF2BhnxA9s
Just a stack of freshly printed documents on the table.
The pages were still warm, the curled corners holding onto the last breath of the printer’s heat——15Please respect copyright.PENANAxLgeys8MXQ
as if preemptively mourning someone’s fate.
On top of the stack, it read:15Please respect copyright.PENANAy0D4VRTRBB
Script Request: BL15Please respect copyright.PENANAZAQvu06ouJ
arget Delivery: 3/15 (negotiable)15Please respect copyright.PENANAfOiPNmEYob
Note: No GL. Absolutely NO GL!15Please respect copyright.PENANAzN2XDQ0YqQ
Today was March 13th.
And something even deadlier than a deadline began to spread through the room——15Please respect copyright.PENANA5TPBOJwBfj
silence.
Then, the screenwriter broke.
“I see. So this is how I die.”
The tone was perfectly calm. But the keycap that flew off his keyboard said otherwise.
“Have I been smiling too sweetly lately?”
The art lead’s voice was gentle, eyes even gentler——15Please respect copyright.PENANAEoLDmc6xMB
but the pen in her hand snapped in two with a clean, audible crack.
The manager glanced at the script title,15Please respect copyright.PENANA115QG8anRz
then looked up at the boss.
“This time it’s… human, right?”
The director said nothing.
He entered full survival mode: eyes vacant, lips sealed, limbs slowly retreating.
The back of his chair creaked slightly, as if whispering:15Please respect copyright.PENANADVPzHNtSBs
“I’m not here. I don’t exist. Please let me live through this day.”
And the source of this whole cursed script——15Please respect copyright.PENANAZQ3Qv09x4M
the boss himself——
was now quietly shrinking behind the director,15Please respect copyright.PENANA9yHxH8XKfc
desperately trying to suppress his presence.
Then, with a pitiful tone, he tried to defend himself:
“You guys know… we’re still a new company…”
“We really need the exposure…”
The murderous intent in the room collectively spiked.
“I… I really couldn’t say no to the client!”
“They didn’t want GL… and then said it had to be out by the 15th… sigh…”
The director turned his head slowly, eyes beginning to glaze over.
“Today is the 13th.”
“I paid a terrible price too!”15Please respect copyright.PENANApYIDnxVbgf
the boss wailed, emotions flooding out like a broken dam.
“Waaahhh… I had to let go of my OTP…”15Please respect copyright.PENANA74dWJRB6XV
“My bunny … My sweet, fluffy retriever…”
Before anyone could stop him, he kept talking——15Please respect copyright.PENANAd6JLB2jzAI
and somehow, actually pulled out his phone.15Please respect copyright.PENANAVzxQKlnDuX
Opened the photo album with trembling hands,15Please respect copyright.PENANAyV341QX8nw
and tapped on a photo like it was the last memory of a lost love.
In the photo, the bunny was clutching her human co-star’s arm with her fluffy little paws.15Please respect copyright.PENANAOdMt3K1kJv
The two of them stood by the sea,15Please respect copyright.PENANAJcL7yfKz7P
glowing in the sunset like they were newlyweds on their honeymoon.
And the boss began to sob.
“They just went on vacation together, do you even realize that?!”
“Just yesterday, they were holding hands on the beach, drawing in the sand!”
“And now… now I have to launch a brand new couple, finish filming in two days,15Please respect copyright.PENANAniaevxgz4a
and somehow come up with a dramatic twist—?!”
He sniffled hard.
“This isn’t just abuse to me…15Please respect copyright.PENANA9Hm1Ye4IrY
it’s abuse to the fans…”
Silence fell across the room once more.
When someone is truly speechless, they laugh.
“Heh.”15Please respect copyright.PENANAkSbxqtQL6Y
The screenwriter reattached the keycap that had been smacked off.
“Heh.” 15Please respect copyright.PENANAypL9p3MfYT
The art lead bent down and quietly stuffed the broken pen deep into her pencil case.
“……”15Please respect copyright.PENANAOaik19oCwo
The manager said nothing, but had already started searching for exorcism spells on her phone.
“……”15Please respect copyright.PENANAREcpRGcJet
The director also stayed silent, though his eyes had shifted——from “I am not here” to “If I strangle the boss right now, we won’t have to shoot this script, right?”
The lights in the meeting room were still off,15Please respect copyright.PENANAeqamu1wOJO
but the atmosphere was hot enough to ignite the stack of papers on the table.
Sniffling, the boss turned to the director and the screenwriter.
“I have an idea.”
His eyes were red, like someone who’d just been hit by a wave.
“What if we made one of them a cop…”
In that instant, the air froze again.
“You sure about that?”
The manager jumped in before anyone else could erupt.
“If you actually cast someone who knows the law,15Please respect copyright.PENANA3vstCLWtK4
I swear they’ll sue you for labor abuse.”
The boss quietly closed his mouth.
The director sank a little lower into his chair.
The art lead took out her sketchpad again15Please respect copyright.PENANAEIVEnMcmuu
and drew a picture: the boss with a pencil stabbed into his head——sharpened to a deadly point.
The screenwriter started checking his calendar.
“How many tens of thousands of words can I write in two days? I don’t know.15Please respect copyright.PENANApwqOZXsry9
But I do know I might die on my keyboard.”
But no matter how chaotic things got——15Please respect copyright.PENANAVWp1yKctka
the show still had to go on.
At that point, no one could’ve predicted what this production would eventually become.
All they knew was that later that night,15Please respect copyright.PENANAAOB6zpkA45
the boss really did post something.
Just a single photo:15Please respect copyright.PENANAzYCGtEFk6G
the backs of the bunny and the human, walking away into the distance.
The caption?15Please respect copyright.PENANAJT0C9u3PqZ
Only five words: My favorite couple.
The post’s most-liked comment came from the director’s anonymous account.
"The most savage reply came from the art lead:15Please respect copyright.PENANAGj7Z4qiaw7
"You tossed your OTP just to launch a new series——and now you’re crying about it?"15Please respect copyright.PENANAyfzlEKwQ2y
