The filming stopped, but the love didn’t. 14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55xHUrS5YN
They walked off hand in hand. 14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO4v4TOsqm
The boss collapsed in tears—— 14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKUzHUuCOq
the CP felt more real than the script ever did.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyENesz9Jfp
The Hidden Moon and the Sea of Dawn started off unusually smoothly.
The crew was soft, pink, and glowing——14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZsoOt6sUx
even the hallway lights seemed deliberately set to be extra romantic.
The boss dropped by every day, lurking behind set pieces with a smile they thought no one noticed.
“…Is he hiding behind the curtain again?”
“Leave him alone. As long as that smile’s toothless, it’s still legal.”
No one spoiled his joy.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxLsXf8KCh
He was the boss, after all.
Until one day, he walked into the meeting room with a face full of sorrow, looking utterly wrecked——
as if he’d just realized his OTP was doomed in canon.
“Wuuu…14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0EFEz7Rv1
My bunny… my OTP… might be out of commission for a while…”
“Our client… shoved in another script… and wants it shot now…”
“I hate my own weakness.” The tears were heartbreakingly sincere.
The director looked physically pained.
But the meeting had to go on.
The director opened the meeting with a half-collapsed posture and the air of a man in mourning.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSNORx1Irf
His mind screamed one thing:14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8bgqdWszy
What about Xi-Yu and Yue-Yue…
Throughout the meeting, the manager remained calm as always.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNzMtd4Bak
The screenwriter kept circling back to one desperate question:14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOsQB7xDWH
“Can the bunny… still keep her memories?”
Meanwhile, in the corner, the art lead quietly shed tears for the props——14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrCw2dKG0o
the kind of silent breakdown only budget cuts and last-minute changes could bring.
By the end, no one had died.
But their souls had been thoroughly slaughtered.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGnYupxUuV
The manager issued a notice to the cast:
Due to a sudden scheduling change, filming is on hold.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8CST9fs6I
The bunny and the human are granted a paid vacation. Together.
No one said a word.
The bunny glanced at the human.
The human was replying to a message, but her fingers paused——14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEJWfLrGyh
as if sensing a gaze, she looked up.
Their eyes met for a second.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3zGUkRmCF
And then, they smiled.
Not the delicate, ambiguous kind reserved for scenes on camera——14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQo9iTiIZg
it was the kind of bond only shared by people14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B4840mBYc
who’ve spent too many nights running lines beneath tired rehearsal lights at 4 a.m.
The bunny rose to her feet and patted the human’s arm.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsesgHhkSO
“Let’s go.”
The human didn’t ask where.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uICDV6lWg
She just stood up, casually handing over the bunny’s hat.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWQGA6blyu
Nothing was said——14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8nc8a2mI1
and yet, it felt like everything had been.
They headed for the exit, unhurried,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk9PN2Kfre
as if they were still inside the story——14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn7o4lNJMU
and somehow, already beyond it.
And just as they left the set,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzYGeWqYbH
they held hands.
No one dared to remind them they were still on company grounds,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SBbA3kIAq
or that the cameras were still rolling——
Because to interrupt that moment felt almost sacrilegious.
This wasn’t a scene.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4N8JjZzLB
It wasn’t a press event.
It was that moment——14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp03k8Y2jr3
the one where two people, after working together for so long,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3nvmVe6bS
finally get to draw close, and it makes perfect sense.
The director watched the footage and whispered,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIJqB0HZfD
“Don’t write this into the official script yet. I want to keep it for myself.”
“I’ll save the raw take. Triple backup.”
“I’ve already imagined ten different tragic endings in my head.”
The art lead said nothing, just flipped open a color notebook and made a note:
Colors for sunlight side-by-side shots:14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuD4K1LJhf
Soft blush base. Warm undertone. Sweet, but not syrupy.
And the boss?14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6sDv9tqeM
He looked at the screen like he’d been dragged into a romance MV with no way out.
His eyes were locked on their interlaced fingers——
They were holding hands.
For real.
No stage direction. No planned rehearsal.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDUzpEPvew
Just something so natural, it felt like they’d done it a hundred times before.
He’d only meant to stop by and say goodbye,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy9ocFT7Id
but now his brain was auto-generating OTP hashtags and imagining poster fonts:
Liu Xiyu × Yun Cangyue14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQVm4zP3wK
——“Even if the world resets a hundred times, I’ll find you every time.”
Pink subtitles floated across his mind.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSkAN4yY6D
Background music swelled——yes, that was the season two ending theme.
He’d even mentally edited their future late-night texting scenes post-move-out.
Bunny: Still awake?14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKihBgtd1s
Xi-Yu: Don’t want to sleep. Thinking of you.
Clutching his OTP notebook, he trembled like a wind-tossed leaf.
“This is fate… this has to be fate…”
He wasn’t just shipping it anymore.
He was getting shipped——dragged and devoured whole by this couple,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE2AYHeH6B
until he couldn’t tell if he was writing the story, or the story was writing him.
A staff member walked past, whispered to the manager,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU19AGeRRtP
“Is he… okay?”
The manager glanced over, deadpan.
“He’s just converting emotions into budget. Let him cry.”
