Bunny’s on break, human’s gone too, 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6TCJPyfrT
The boss is left with nothing to ship——just the script.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCLWJZu50I
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HQY0LLVGE
The meeting room’s AC was, for some reason, colder than usual today.
The boss had called it an “emergency discussion,”41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrgCf9n6lp
but the director had been sitting there since 10 a.m.——and it was now 10:30.
No projector. No lights.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxPyFaiCwI
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——41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfovkYtULCU
as if preemptively mourning someone’s fate.
On top of the stack, it read:41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjzAOksJym
Script Request: BL41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOYaUucIMt
arget Delivery: 3/15 (negotiable)41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EhZRtHb56
Note: No GL. Absolutely NO GL!41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1Md3g63aI
Today was March 13th.
And something even deadlier than a deadline began to spread through the room——41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zyhE3UcOr
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——41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qY3rDbZVr
but the pen in her hand snapped in two with a clean, audible crack.
The manager glanced at the script title,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX98T9vbmf
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:41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jfO7tLTiU
“I’m not here. I don’t exist. Please let me live through this day.”
And the source of this whole cursed script——41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbrbTCQoTV
the boss himself——
was now quietly shrinking behind the director,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv7smKIQ8B
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!”41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqSHQqyiof
the boss wailed, emotions flooding out like a broken dam.
“Waaahhh… I had to let go of my OTP…”41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64JMG80cfp
“My bunny … My sweet, fluffy retriever…”
Before anyone could stop him, he kept talking——41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqn91Ujtuj
and somehow, actually pulled out his phone.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9V3TgxbyJ
Opened the photo album with trembling hands,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt03XPVfgJ
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.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2drVZL4Jll
The two of them stood by the sea,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyUPiwjopm
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,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH7GnjePXD
and somehow come up with a dramatic twist—?!”
He sniffled hard.
“This isn’t just abuse to me…41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy1QDcnoUn
it’s abuse to the fans…”
Silence fell across the room once more.
When someone is truly speechless, they laugh.
“Heh.”41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDDobqgcs7
The screenwriter reattached the keycap that had been smacked off.
“Heh.” 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLdfPP78LO
The art lead bent down and quietly stuffed the broken pen deep into her pencil case.
“……”41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN6kPSchao
The manager said nothing, but had already started searching for exorcism spells on her phone.
“……”41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8E03c6M4L
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,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQtqiJZF6M
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,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjGqVUGm2I
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 again41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICfkX47g7O
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.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIa6vEiXjN
But I do know I might die on my keyboard.”
But no matter how chaotic things got——41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoAh5EayrF
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,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUkl4SPmok
the boss really did post something.
Just a single photo:41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz70aVmMuQc
the backs of the bunny and the human, walking away into the distance.
The caption?41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLsX7UcTeg
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:41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeyTDqbU5B
"You tossed your OTP just to launch a new series——and now you’re crying about it?"41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfootJA81h
