Bunny’s on break, human’s gone too, 384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZAxWOSgnF
The boss is left with nothing to ship——just the script.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSTDjosrGE

The meeting room’s AC was, for some reason, colder than usual today.
The boss had called it an “emergency discussion,”384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqawGrMagKD
but the director had been sitting there since 10 a.m.——and it was now 10:30.
No projector. No lights.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1fbEbmqh6
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——384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgjQGBCcpo
as if preemptively mourning someone’s fate.
On top of the stack, it read:384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z5n3uC4fd
Script Request: BL384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheRYJ0K6lb
arget Delivery: 3/15 (negotiable)384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTcqhe5l4k
Note: No GL. Absolutely NO GL!384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkN5V4IyZW
Today was March 13th.
And something even deadlier than a deadline began to spread through the room——384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfFb7ZZpSh
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——384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXL5W0TzvT
but the pen in her hand snapped in two with a clean, audible crack.
The manager glanced at the script title,384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlHSrHg6YQ
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:384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcTGtEbWLY
“I’m not here. I don’t exist. Please let me live through this day.”
And the source of this whole cursed script——384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hPIMBVuwl
the boss himself——
was now quietly shrinking behind the director,384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqgvhcG4Qz
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!”384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVTGc8QzRq
the boss wailed, emotions flooding out like a broken dam.
“Waaahhh… I had to let go of my OTP…”384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZO9vNV3ZR
“My bunny … My sweet, fluffy retriever…”
Before anyone could stop him, he kept talking——384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNAgv4dRjb
and somehow, actually pulled out his phone.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI1f1p0TD7
Opened the photo album with trembling hands,384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RyQ88nXjJ
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.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuGllUhWA9
The two of them stood by the sea,384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQGuaDeYoS
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,384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPajAGn1CBI
and somehow come up with a dramatic twist—?!”
He sniffled hard.
“This isn’t just abuse to me…384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwGgv9mZZu
it’s abuse to the fans…”
Silence fell across the room once more.
When someone is truly speechless, they laugh.
“Heh.”384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyxUY3FLDP
The screenwriter reattached the keycap that had been smacked off.
“Heh.” 384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4tj6WCwYj
The art lead bent down and quietly stuffed the broken pen deep into her pencil case.
“……”384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5kYIrzfac
The manager said nothing, but had already started searching for exorcism spells on her phone.
“……”384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvxJmsceaG
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,384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtuJ1yl1Kt
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,384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel1KzbA6Ia
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 again384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjeXBoZhP0
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.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMQTdogGMn
But I do know I might die on my keyboard.”
But no matter how chaotic things got——384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSvislBJ4E
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,384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PuM8gMKb8
the boss really did post something.
Just a single photo:384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiO92Eejkp
the backs of the bunny and the human, walking away into the distance.
The caption?384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHY0EAwGP9
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:384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nyrRwbi75
"You tossed your OTP just to launch a new series——and now you’re crying about it?"384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXvncLmzBg
