The filming stopped, but the love didn’t. 23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84uL5pDwAe
They walked off hand in hand. 23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxaHxA8uNk
The boss collapsed in tears—— 23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yaLEUh6n8
the CP felt more real than the script ever did.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu0ufyBk37
The Hidden Moon and the Sea of Dawn started off unusually smoothly.
The crew was soft, pink, and glowing——23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5jkSuSqr7
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.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNMn1774nJ
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…23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN6p4J5nZD
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.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhoNUWhPl1
His mind screamed one thing:23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVizKWAORA
What about Xi-Yu and Yue-Yue…
Throughout the meeting, the manager remained calm as always.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9WpLt83Hw
The screenwriter kept circling back to one desperate question:23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE9lwcnd7e
“Can the bunny… still keep her memories?”
Meanwhile, in the corner, the art lead quietly shed tears for the props——23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOpu9PkG1q
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.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhIYDQuvfS
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD0Gkjyvbr
The manager issued a notice to the cast:
Due to a sudden scheduling change, filming is on hold.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRIh9ph3eg
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——23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6JqHt45cy
as if sensing a gaze, she looked up.
Their eyes met for a second.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMl5PTfddy
And then, they smiled.
Not the delicate, ambiguous kind reserved for scenes on camera——23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPI87D8pHU
it was the kind of bond only shared by people23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcIhWr5un4
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.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IvhG1Z7NN
“Let’s go.”
The human didn’t ask where.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOkA0QX9Ht
She just stood up, casually handing over the bunny’s hat.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScjczfyllI
Nothing was said——23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMhd2kI03D
and yet, it felt like everything had been.
They headed for the exit, unhurried,23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0x1HYZ4MM
as if they were still inside the story——23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GlpfccYfL
and somehow, already beyond it.
And just as they left the set,23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e1krg0JJf
they held hands.
No one dared to remind them they were still on company grounds,23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqzfqBUB8m
or that the cameras were still rolling——
Because to interrupt that moment felt almost sacrilegious.
This wasn’t a scene.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKKtR6tYD6
It wasn’t a press event.
It was that moment——23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNrurJr76G
the one where two people, after working together for so long,23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06DqNLENhg
finally get to draw close, and it makes perfect sense.
The director watched the footage and whispered,23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYg12jKfvX
“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:23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r7GVqerA9
Soft blush base. Warm undertone. Sweet, but not syrupy.
And the boss?23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUc3nC3HpT
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.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKZQUMGK5X
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,23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCgNT6DzEg
but now his brain was auto-generating OTP hashtags and imagining poster fonts:
Liu Xiyu × Yun Cangyue23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd9JafShPW
——“Even if the world resets a hundred times, I’ll find you every time.”
Pink subtitles floated across his mind.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcNktxr3OV
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?23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uC3rNIDZr
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,23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGEVWNHtLh
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,23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbixFKZM1NM
“Is he… okay?”
The manager glanced over, deadpan.
“He’s just converting emotions into budget. Let him cry.”
