Bunny’s on break, human’s gone too, 78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmaVXVgz2f
The boss is left with nothing to ship——just the script.78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgccsQDccKL

The meeting room’s AC was, for some reason, colder than usual today.
The boss had called it an “emergency discussion,”78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaNYBjBJEJ
but the director had been sitting there since 10 a.m.——and it was now 10:30.
No projector. No lights.78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrLcLhSqAi
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——78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAd1TJXFk5
as if preemptively mourning someone’s fate.
On top of the stack, it read:78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNPOG6QVDw
Script Request: BL78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWNWrnZxT4
arget Delivery: 3/15 (negotiable)78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCwi4lE0jP
Note: No GL. Absolutely NO GL!78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCsjZ1ccnx
Today was March 13th.
And something even deadlier than a deadline began to spread through the room——78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqsCO0rWIK
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——78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhdiVioznR
but the pen in her hand snapped in two with a clean, audible crack.
The manager glanced at the script title,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hR8pEbdvE
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:78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyefaIbZ3g8
“I’m not here. I don’t exist. Please let me live through this day.”
And the source of this whole cursed script——78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4nr4vzZJt
the boss himself——
was now quietly shrinking behind the director,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9RF45FxAk
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!”78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYy3x4upvl
the boss wailed, emotions flooding out like a broken dam.
“Waaahhh… I had to let go of my OTP…”78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsd9XNKoge
“My bunny … My sweet, fluffy retriever…”
Before anyone could stop him, he kept talking——78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8HDpoMjDb
and somehow, actually pulled out his phone.78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3urq7Vsozl
Opened the photo album with trembling hands,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzxZzjKVqb
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.78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDDiqRfksG
The two of them stood by the sea,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOQxbqjiSd
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,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdlJdvvBSM
and somehow come up with a dramatic twist—?!”
He sniffled hard.
“This isn’t just abuse to me…78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuW4vwhZiI
it’s abuse to the fans…”
Silence fell across the room once more.
When someone is truly speechless, they laugh.
“Heh.”78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7wab8g1By
The screenwriter reattached the keycap that had been smacked off.
“Heh.” 78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmytGYhqmN
The art lead bent down and quietly stuffed the broken pen deep into her pencil case.
“……”78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxhregClZI
The manager said nothing, but had already started searching for exorcism spells on her phone.
“……”78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhBPziTJMJ
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,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0VoQocpwR
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,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R2Rww0c81
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 again78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wFJBLw5fk
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.78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGXFDVuKUn
But I do know I might die on my keyboard.”
But no matter how chaotic things got——78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMn5EzDBsI
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,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgw3eZnIqJ
the boss really did post something.
Just a single photo:78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxOf1bXeLz
the backs of the bunny and the human, walking away into the distance.
The caption?78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87jqutxUI3
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:78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVkYcdYvhL
"You tossed your OTP just to launch a new series——and now you’re crying about it?"78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvvIyYTebX
