Characters aren’t chosen——they walk in on their own. 12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOukxv7q9o
From the moment their eyes met, reunion was inevitable.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVeSdykJZC
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi2WdYmA53
The audition meeting was supposed to be calm.
The director arrived an hour early.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmzxqvpwqs
The art lead came in carrying a box of prototype bunny ears.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5olA9u4VZe
The screenwriter sat in the corner, half-dead, gnawing on an energy bar.
The manager had already arranged the candidates into four Excel tiers and reminded everyone:
“Today’s focus is on the character’s aura——not their looks.”
Then the door swung open.
The boss walked in wearing sunglasses, dragging behind a suitcase clearly packed for CP emergencies—romantic pairings he was way too obsessed with.
“I’m here to supervise. Personally.”
He sounded like he was about to launch a military operation.
“…You sure you’re not just here to emotionally manipulate us?”12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna1FqbdlLn
The director muttered under his breath.
The boss took off his sunglasses. His eyes were glistening.
“I just want to see the moment they reunite.”
No one responded.
The screenwriter quietly put away the energy bar and opened his laptop.
“If this fails, I’ll open a death route. Everyone. Dies.”
“No no no! I’ll behave. I promise.” The boss panicked.
The manager glanced at the time. “First actor’s here.”
Silence for two seconds.
The director straightened.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDNcYVAPsD
The art lead pushed up her glasses.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHBdUNdgO5
The screenwriter opened a new document:
“How Do You Act Like You’ve Met Before?”
The boss was already seated in the front row, solemn as a high priest.
Auditions——begin.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj9FZw6XXu
The first bunny-role actor walked in wearing a fuzzy hat she brought herself.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc35WRp5KE
She took her mark, then suddenly threw both hands into the air——
“You can’t do this to me!”
Three seconds of awkward silence followed.
The director flipped a page in the audition script.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73sG1ravFg
“We’re doing a scene from episode two today. The reunion in the back hills.”
“And uh… which scene were you performing, exactly?”
“Oh… sorry. Got too into it.”
The boss frowned.
The second bunny came from a dance background——12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtteQTMmA9e
She turned her head with such extreme flexibility it looked like her neck had no bones.
“I think…” the art lead muttered, sketching as she observed,12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWuxCSHfph
“…this bunny might be a little too flexible.”
The third walked in with a cool, distant expression12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBQz6h7cSV
She turned, nodded, and delivered her line:
“…You’re back.”
The director nodded.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1ocOifz3i
“Not bad. Feels grounded.”
The boss shot up from their seat.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCKaphMNmJ
“Wrong! No chemistry! How can she be this calm right now?!”
The screenwriter tried to explain.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRrseTgY1Q
“It’s not calm——it’s emotional suppression. She’s holding it in.”
“That’s suppression?! I just feel like I can’t ship them!”
“…Okay, fine. I give up on character arcs.”
He shut his laptop. The director patted his shoulder in sympathy.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc8hCYYGWN
“Next one. Trying for the bunny role.”
The manager announced. No one responded.
She was the seventh of the day. Everyone’s eyes were starting to glaze over.
The girl stepped in, standard audition outfit on, hair loosely tied.
She lowered herself and lightly brushed her fingers across the synthetic grass mat.
No lines.
Then, she looked up——12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AgMJ6NdCg
gaze drifting gently into the distance.
“…You’re back?”
The words were soft.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG95QzREh1
But in that moment, the entire room fell silent.
Only breathing remained.
The director slowly sat up.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF6oyVCOU4
The art lead’s pen froze in mid-air.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCz1QPnbOx
The screenwriter hit the save key without realizing it.
The boss, eyes wide——
“That’s it. I ship them.”
The director cleared his throat.
“…Alright. She stays.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9113qNyfh
“Next, we’re testing for Xi-Yu. With the bunny.”
The manager spoke.
Several candidates took turns stepping in.
The first had a solar-system-level smile,12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFzAyE4Bvc
but once she hit her mark, she delivered her lines like she was reciting from flashcards.
The second walked like she was on a runway.
The third actor turned to look at the bunny ——12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM4ESSA8IB
and froze.
Not because it was quiet.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jiD6TPnh2
Everyone was waiting.
But the bunny was still crouching, head slightly raised.
Xi-Yu stood there, body leaning in just a little.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOR1hpVEPp
They simply looked at each other.
The director didn’t call cut.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJaGCDuSfN
The screenwriter didn’t type.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfPUcRGa2B
The art lead didn’t sketch.
The manager slowly lifted their hand off the earpiece.
The boss’s eyes shimmered, and a smile crept across their face before they could stop it.
The director finally spoke.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcNgp2dLZT
“…Okay. It’s them.”
No one objected.
“I can write them.”
“I want to draw them.”
“Honestly, it’s almost illegal putting them together.”
The boss said nothing—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5CSxB0Puy
just stamped their CP notebook like a maniac.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRkp7jbiT3
The audition finally ended.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltrxEcxNb8
Everyone exhaled at once.
They were here.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjASGZidlGl
For real.
