The filming stopped, but the love didn’t. 36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwvIaziKcy
They walked off hand in hand. 36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIT17CXRnO
The boss collapsed in tears—— 36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9CO7O6aja
the CP felt more real than the script ever did.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPlxuY70fJ
The Hidden Moon and the Sea of Dawn started off unusually smoothly.
The crew was soft, pink, and glowing——36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIR6d4N3kP
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.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBegJJ1dgH
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…36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCaEbFjOqC
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.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LqoxJyO2Y
His mind screamed one thing:36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjRCWkqcAQ
What about Xi-Yu and Yue-Yue…
Throughout the meeting, the manager remained calm as always.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5E7NUB7w0
The screenwriter kept circling back to one desperate question:36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzeNyKzAzG
“Can the bunny… still keep her memories?”
Meanwhile, in the corner, the art lead quietly shed tears for the props——36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdyfiPpSq7
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAOtD16jWa
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBVlKcGkdD
The manager issued a notice to the cast:
Due to a sudden scheduling change, filming is on hold.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQsjGiwFUw
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——36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI4HKZbUXn
as if sensing a gaze, she looked up.
Their eyes met for a second.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjGxLArMFW
And then, they smiled.
Not the delicate, ambiguous kind reserved for scenes on camera——36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzoCLOu3Dz
it was the kind of bond only shared by people36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXfvoIvvfp
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.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tn0zdRsdq
“Let’s go.”
The human didn’t ask where.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fnzgzpM7c
She just stood up, casually handing over the bunny’s hat.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolxw7fEPo5
Nothing was said——36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07EPL02ah1
and yet, it felt like everything had been.
They headed for the exit, unhurried,36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvh8b7caBE
as if they were still inside the story——36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJSTQNAWKx
and somehow, already beyond it.
And just as they left the set,36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CW4I4ClLE
they held hands.
No one dared to remind them they were still on company grounds,36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8YEkF2nMF
or that the cameras were still rolling——
Because to interrupt that moment felt almost sacrilegious.
This wasn’t a scene.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AOxFa7ts4
It wasn’t a press event.
It was that moment——36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7eSZ0q4Yp
the one where two people, after working together for so long,36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50h1JX9DCv
finally get to draw close, and it makes perfect sense.
The director watched the footage and whispered,36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNWBa7UNjC
“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:36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB47l2RBSW
Soft blush base. Warm undertone. Sweet, but not syrupy.
And the boss?36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8t29o8tuT
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.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnuiWb6Iyh
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,36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2QOrHDwlB
but now his brain was auto-generating OTP hashtags and imagining poster fonts:
Liu Xiyu × Yun Cangyue36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8Q7wSDVrt
——“Even if the world resets a hundred times, I’ll find you every time.”
Pink subtitles floated across his mind.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AVqggWTHT
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?36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51ufl6VbME
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,36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8NPmCq6uV
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,36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeaTFEg16l
“Is he… okay?”
The manager glanced over, deadpan.
“He’s just converting emotions into budget. Let him cry.”
