The filming stopped, but the love didn’t. 16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2WiUX1nLz
They walked off hand in hand. 16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuky92636ro
The boss collapsed in tears—— 16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVplCRUPpw
the CP felt more real than the script ever did.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFv9VvSRc4
The Hidden Moon and the Sea of Dawn started off unusually smoothly.
The crew was soft, pink, and glowing——16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdRwDD5SFe
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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio8428QD0D
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…16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWBtsIaQjy
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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOmrUQgJ1u
His mind screamed one thing:16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3gJMPirKl
What about Xi-Yu and Yue-Yue…
Throughout the meeting, the manager remained calm as always.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1CCQg7ram
The screenwriter kept circling back to one desperate question:16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RkbPnStW4
“Can the bunny… still keep her memories?”
Meanwhile, in the corner, the art lead quietly shed tears for the props——16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCJIN205iK
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JfaTasktH
The manager issued a notice to the cast:
Due to a sudden scheduling change, filming is on hold.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF7OMGwjY6
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——16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaQh6VCs4C
as if sensing a gaze, she looked up.
Their eyes met for a second.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDXwTaEN9c
And then, they smiled.
Not the delicate, ambiguous kind reserved for scenes on camera——16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaqQX3mrzL
it was the kind of bond only shared by people16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nJBHyhhvA
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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXuPuUKchv
“Let’s go.”
The human didn’t ask where.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBynj7NgWzS
She just stood up, casually handing over the bunny’s hat.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtxRhn3C08
Nothing was said——16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWHj4VDgrE
and yet, it felt like everything had been.
They headed for the exit, unhurried,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRU3QMdxMg
as if they were still inside the story——16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXSRtURnHI
and somehow, already beyond it.
And just as they left the set,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSY96CK7q9
they held hands.
No one dared to remind them they were still on company grounds,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcxB2FIbSD
or that the cameras were still rolling——
Because to interrupt that moment felt almost sacrilegious.
This wasn’t a scene.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61Ddr9M0Tw
It wasn’t a press event.
It was that moment——16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrDF9XhwrC
the one where two people, after working together for so long,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0Q0oBS9fd
finally get to draw close, and it makes perfect sense.
The director watched the footage and whispered,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgjggB26fA
“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:16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgm7P9C09n
Soft blush base. Warm undertone. Sweet, but not syrupy.
And the boss?16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaLwoWNBnu
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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8itImp8vA
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,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoCbAFlves
but now his brain was auto-generating OTP hashtags and imagining poster fonts:
Liu Xiyu × Yun Cangyue16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUlqxK0jZU
——“Even if the world resets a hundred times, I’ll find you every time.”
Pink subtitles floated across his mind.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UHJwoKPhC
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?16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs5DcbT5uY
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,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZlfKVPtZy
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,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzoIhuWAQF
“Is he… okay?”
The manager glanced over, deadpan.
“He’s just converting emotions into budget. Let him cry.”
