Oliverâs hauntingly brave escapade only showed up on the fourth spot. #BraveOliverventuringintoahauntedhouse
Milly was speechless.
âDid you come up with the hashtag?â
Oliverâs head bobbed vivaciously as he stared at Milly with twinkling eyes. âDonât you think itâs very macho and rugged?*
Milly really didnât want to crush the delusional guyâs dream.
That hashtag was so obviously Oliver. Sounds like a middle schoolerâs fever dream. Howâd his manager stand this,
Iâll never know.
Unexpectedly, Jonathan embraced the sachet, causing it to trend on social media despite his initial disinterest.
Milly, composed, addressed him, âYou knew it was his birthday today, yet you chose to trend today. It would be odd if you werenât overshadowed.â
Oliver and Jonathan, perennial rivals, fostered fiercely competitive fan bases. With Jonathanâs birthday, his fans wouldnât allow Oliver to steal his spotlight.
She couldnât fathom Oliverâs timing and why he opted to clash now of all times.
Oliver pouted. âYou donât get it. I bought it today because I knew that Jonathan, that rogue, is filming the aerial scene tonight. We both swore on the show that the last thing we wanted to film was the aerial scene. If he gets hurt, his fans will compare, and it will trend for sure! I canât lag behind, so I have to seize the initiative, buy it first, and flaunt it for a few days, got it?â
Millyâs silence spoke volumes. She struggled to decipher his rationale.
Then, a realisation struck her. Rising abruptly, she fixed him with a startled gaze. âWhat did you just say? Jonathan is filming the aerial scene today?â
Oliver, taken aback by her alarmed expression, hesitated. âYâYes. Whatâs wrong?â
Milly pursed her lips, a flicker of unease dancing in her eyes.
Recollections flooded her mind. In the novel, Jonathan suffered a fall during the first wire stunt, a consequence of the crewâs negligence. Though he survived with a leg injury, it hindered him from intense

She had been puzzled by Millyâs willingness to sacrifice everything, even risking her life, for her brothers.
However, she could see the original Milly loved them.
With Millyâs essence now inhabiting her body and guiding her actions, she felt compelled to honour the love and devotion Milly cherished, extending it to the brothers and fulfilling her desires.
With determination fueling her, Milly abruptly rose and hastened outside. She made sure to brief Oliver: âAssist me in arranging a leave of absence for myself and Mr. Hawkins. Just inform them that I have an urgent matter to attend to and will be back promptly for reshoots.â
Before Oliver could reply, she had already dashed off.
The current situation remained uncertain. Could the filming have already commenced?
She was grateful that their filming spots were close by and easily accessible. Upon arrival, she spotted crew members prepping Jonathan for the stunt from a distance.
As she moved to call out to Jonathan, a crew member intercepted her: âSorry, this area is restricted. Unauthorized individuals arenât allowed.â
Milly anxiously eyed Jonathan, already geared up. Breathlessly, she stated, âI know Jonathan, and I work. nearby. I have my ID.
She handed over her filming permit. The crew member glanced over it but remained steadfast, blocking her path. âIâm sorry, this isnât our crewâs permit. You canât enter
There had been incidents of sasaeng fans obtaining crew permits and sneaking onto sets to hound their idols, disrupting work. Consequently, theyâd tightened security measures.
Milly gazed at the crew, distressed. Time was of the essence. If she waited for Jonathan to reach a precarious point, she might not be able to assist him. âI truly do know Jonathan. If you doubt me, you can call him over to confirm.
âJonathan? Jonathan!â she called out desperately, hoping Jonathan, amidst filming, would catch her voice.
But the distance proved too vast, and amidst the crewâs clamour, her cries went unheard.
Seeing her persistence, the staff grew irritated, issuing a stern warning, âMiss, if you persist in causing disruption, weâll have security escort you out.â
Milly gritted her teeth, realising she had only one recourse left.
She fished out her phone, quickly locating Jonathanâs live birthday broadcast. Handing over the phone, she explained, âLook, I was live with Jonathan today. I truly know him, and I have something crucial to convey.
âIf youâre still sceptical, come with me. I promise not to impede your crew.
The staff inspected the live broadcast on her phone, glimpsing scenes of her interaction with Jonathan. It seemed they were acquainted.
After verifying her identity, they began to entertain her plea, albeit cautiously. They only did so because she seemed like she was in a hurry. âYou may proceed, but filming is underway, so kindly refrain from disrupting the crew.â

As he listened to the directorâs directives, Jonathanâs attention was suddenly snagged by a familiar voice calling his name.
Whose voice could it be?
Turning, he spotted Milly. Pleasant surprise flashed across his face, but his joy was tempered by the wire restraining him. Unable to move, he inquired, âMilly? How did you get here?â
Milly, fatigued and anxious, beads of sweat tracing her forehead, eyed the leash urgently. âMr. Jonathan, get off the wire, itâs too risky!â
Her formal address of Jonathan did not miss him, and his face fell.
However, his annoyance evaporated because of her worrying him. âIs that concern I hear, Milly?â
