Milly was speechless.
“Did you come up with the hashtag?”
Oliver’s head bobbed vivaciously as he stared at Milly with twinkling eyes. “Don’t you think it’s very macho and rugged?*
Milly really didn’t want to crush the delusional guy’s dream.
That hashtag was so obviously Oliver. Sounds like a middle schooler’s fever dream. How’d his manager stand this,
I’ll never know.
Unexpectedly, Jonathan embraced the sachet, causing it to trend on social media despite his initial disinterest.
Milly, composed, addressed him, “You knew it was his birthday today, yet you chose to trend today. It would be odd if you weren’t overshadowed.”
Oliver and Jonathan, perennial rivals, fostered fiercely competitive fan bases. With Jonathan’s birthday, his fans wouldn’t allow Oliver to steal his spotlight.
She couldn’t fathom Oliver’s timing and why he opted to clash now of all times.
Oliver pouted. “You don’t 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 can’t lag behind, so I have to seize the initiative, buy it first, and flaunt it for a few days, got it?”
Milly’s silence spoke volumes. She struggled to decipher his rationale.
Then, a realisation struck her. Rising abruptly, she fixed him with a startled gaze. “What did you just say? Jonathan is filming the aerial scene today?”
Oliver, taken aback by her alarmed expression, hesitated. “Y–Yes. What’s wrong?”
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 crew’s negligence. Though he survived with a leg injury, it hindered him from intense

She had been puzzled by Milly’s willingness to sacrifice everything, even risking her life, for her brothers.
However, she could see the original Milly loved them.
With Milly’s 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: “Assist 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.”
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: “Sorry, this area is restricted. Unauthorized individuals aren’t allowed.”
Milly anxiously eyed Jonathan, already geared up. Breathlessly, she stated, “I 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. “I’m sorry, this isn’t our crew’s permit. You can’t enter
There had been incidents of sasaeng fans obtaining crew permits and sneaking onto sets to hound their idols, disrupting work. Consequently, they’d 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. “I truly do know Jonathan. If you doubt me, you can call him over to confirm.
“Jonathan? Jonathan!” she called out desperately, hoping Jonathan, amidst filming, would catch her voice.
But the distance proved too vast, and amidst the crew’s clamour, her cries went unheard.
Seeing her persistence, the staff grew irritated, issuing a stern warning, “Miss, if you persist in causing disruption, we’ll have security escort you out.”
Milly gritted her teeth, realising she had only one recourse left.
She fished out her phone, quickly locating Jonathan’s live birthday broadcast. Handing over the phone, she explained, “Look, I was live with Jonathan today. I truly know him, and I have something crucial to convey.
“If you’re 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. “You may proceed, but filming is underway, so kindly refrain from disrupting the crew.”

Milly nodded briskly. “Got it.”
Jonathan!”
As he listened to the director’s directives, Jonathan’s 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, “Milly? How did you get here?”
Milly, fatigued and anxious, beads of sweat tracing her forehead, eyed the leash urgently. “Mr. Jonathan, get off the wire, it’s too risky!”
Her formal address of Jonathan did not miss him, and his face fell.
However, his annoyance evaporated because of her worrying him. ‘Is that concern I hear, Milly?”
