Bunny’s on break, human’s gone too, 57Please respect copyright.PENANAaKLMkqqW6H
The boss is left with nothing to ship——just the script.57Please respect copyright.PENANA7sMayt3TBY
57Please respect copyright.PENANAzFHgS18lVm
The meeting room’s AC was, for some reason, colder than usual today.
The boss had called it an “emergency discussion,”57Please respect copyright.PENANAlZqz0PcMij
but the director had been sitting there since 10 a.m.——and it was now 10:30.
No projector. No lights.57Please respect copyright.PENANAT9iR6sYbGO
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——57Please respect copyright.PENANAeQdl45P2K3
as if preemptively mourning someone’s fate.
On top of the stack, it read:57Please respect copyright.PENANADvFUWjv8kC
Script Request: BL57Please respect copyright.PENANAT21Jf4w4Sk
arget Delivery: 3/15 (negotiable)57Please respect copyright.PENANABMVf04tGkN
Note: No GL. Absolutely NO GL!57Please respect copyright.PENANAdBSn5EcFdZ
Today was March 13th.
And something even deadlier than a deadline began to spread through the room——57Please respect copyright.PENANAmAxqBzqtvR
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——57Please respect copyright.PENANAlYYtNippAF
but the pen in her hand snapped in two with a clean, audible crack.
The manager glanced at the script title,57Please respect copyright.PENANA6sYLdSDtQK
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:57Please respect copyright.PENANAYmvEOX7jrh
“I’m not here. I don’t exist. Please let me live through this day.”
And the source of this whole cursed script——57Please respect copyright.PENANAS5rvbid9ry
the boss himself——
was now quietly shrinking behind the director,57Please respect copyright.PENANAJrwMfnBn9D
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!”57Please respect copyright.PENANAWnPP9reNvM
the boss wailed, emotions flooding out like a broken dam.
“Waaahhh… I had to let go of my OTP…”57Please respect copyright.PENANAknSrjrltHo
“My bunny … My sweet, fluffy retriever…”
Before anyone could stop him, he kept talking——57Please respect copyright.PENANAojKRboseZt
and somehow, actually pulled out his phone.57Please respect copyright.PENANAMMhItD5W7e
Opened the photo album with trembling hands,57Please respect copyright.PENANAmvKHTcjwUB
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANA8U4o3MCjFn
The two of them stood by the sea,57Please respect copyright.PENANAjxcZxOap2w
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,57Please respect copyright.PENANAeT89YdUIFI
and somehow come up with a dramatic twist—?!”
He sniffled hard.
“This isn’t just abuse to me…57Please respect copyright.PENANAELM8Rutqec
it’s abuse to the fans…”
Silence fell across the room once more.
When someone is truly speechless, they laugh.
“Heh.”57Please respect copyright.PENANAIL8vRMMQMG
The screenwriter reattached the keycap that had been smacked off.
“Heh.” 57Please respect copyright.PENANA3d9Nhjib6D
The art lead bent down and quietly stuffed the broken pen deep into her pencil case.
“……”57Please respect copyright.PENANAT7coaU258D
The manager said nothing, but had already started searching for exorcism spells on her phone.
“……”57Please respect copyright.PENANA10ad9UXRcD
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,57Please respect copyright.PENANAN5BF57zQm2
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,57Please respect copyright.PENANAq1pCe9QE0F
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 again57Please respect copyright.PENANAB3wyCCdAMP
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAvXF4vHXSmo
But I do know I might die on my keyboard.”
But no matter how chaotic things got——57Please respect copyright.PENANAw6j380cT17
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,57Please respect copyright.PENANAnLkG5lCdUs
the boss really did post something.
Just a single photo:57Please respect copyright.PENANAtuCYXSBXgx
the backs of the bunny and the human, walking away into the distance.
The caption?57Please respect copyright.PENANAvEz204uRN1
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:57Please respect copyright.PENANADKgD7Ozie3
"You tossed your OTP just to launch a new series——and now you’re crying about it?"57Please respect copyright.PENANApPF2SjJcbD
