Chapter 124 I’ll Hold You While We Walk
The team had planned with the haunted house beforehand, so it was closed to the public today.
The crew needed to set up the night filming gear in each haunted house, so they asked everyone to wait in the staging area for a bit.
Even during this short wait, the room felt super tense.
Jonathan figured it wouldn’t be too scary with so many people around. But once he got there and saw the cerie decorations and creepy music, his legs started shaking.
It’s even scarier than I thought…
If I had known, I wouldn’t have picked this haunted house just to spite that jerk. I’ve dug a hole for myself by ruining a birthday celebration and turning it into a nightmare. I wish I hadn’t done this!
Suddenly, a voice broke the silence. “Oh, birthday boy, are you scared? What a chicken!
“If you’re scared, you’d better tell the crew now. It’d be pretty embarrassing if you wet yourself in there.”
Oliver was lounging on the sofa, legs crossed while looking at Jonathan with disgust.
Jonathan’s face darkened at the taunt. He wouldn’t admit he was scared now, no matter what..
He wouldn’t back down!
Jonathan crossed his legs and glared back. “Who said I was scared? I love horror movies. Going into a haunted house feels like home. But you might get so scared you forget which way is which. Don’t expect me to save you then.”
Oliver sneered, “Save me? What a joke. I’ve never been scared in my life. When we do the haunted house. tasks, I’ll definitely be the MVPI
Jonathan smirked. “Is that so? I didn’t care about being MVP before, but now I think I might just have to
take that title.
“Dream on!”
As they bickered, both refusing to back down, Milly rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.
If I remember correctly, both of them said they least wanted to visit the haunted house. So why are they acting so brave
now?
Stephanie overheard and walked over gracefully. “Jonathan, I’m a bit scared. Can I stay with you later?”
She partly wanted more screen tithe, but she was also genuinely scared.
Jonathan wouldn’t refuse. “Of course. I’ll protect you.”
He spoke with determination,
Then he glanced at Milly, who was quietly standing aside, and pressed his lips together.

But she bullied Stephanie! And I’m here to support Stephanie!
But… she’s still my biological sister, and if I don’t protect her in front of everyone, Jordan will bite my head off
Fine, as her brother, I’ll protect her this time.
I hope she won’t be so moved to tears by this.
Feeling generous, he tilted his head up proudly as he imagined himself as a beacon of brotherly love.
But just as he was about to speak, another voice beat him to it.
Oliver, rubbing his hands together, approached Milly with a fawning smile. “Ms. Milly, I’ll protect you. I’m really good at this. A haunted house adventure is child’s play for me.”
Milly looked sceptical. In her experience, Oliver’s reliability was about as trustworthy as a pig’s ability to fly.
But seeing him so excited and sure of himself, she reluctantly started to trust him a bit. “Okay, then. You find clues, and I’ll solve puzzles. Let’s be quick.”
Oliver, still confident, said, “No problem. Leave it to me!”
In the live chat, fans flooded the room with comments, praising their idols for their bravery.
“Wow, my idol is so bravel Total boyfriend material!”
“Aww, my Jonathan looks so handsome. He’s definitely getting MVP:
“MVP goes to my Oliver!
‘Oliver stepping up to protect a girl? What a gentleman move. I’m a fan for life!”
I thought they were scared of haunted houses,/But they seem fine now.”
‘Oliver isn’t scared. He just doesn’t like it. Not liking it doesn’t mean being scared, okay?”
‘Exactly! Look at how confident he is. Does he look scared? Ridiculous!”
The comments went on and on.
Soon, the equipment was ready, and they could enter the haunted house.
Oliver and Jonathan stood up first, hot wanting to be outdone as they lead the way with brave charm.
As they headed towards the haunted house entrance, all the lights suddenly went out with a “click“, and eerie ghostly sounds filled the air, sending shivers down their spines.
They immediately froze, letting out startled cries.
Stephanie, closest to Jonathan, turned pale and clung to him for protection. “Jonathan, I’m scared

Oliver nearby, he had to act calm. “It’s okay. I’ll protect you.”
His voice shook as he spoke..
Michelle was terrified too. She instinctively backed away until she bumped into something soft, whereupon she screamed, “Ah! Who’s that?”
Milly sighed, holding onto Michelle’s wrist. “Don’t be scared. It’s me.”
Relieved to hear Milly’s voice, Michelle clung to her, saying, “H–Hey, don’t leave me.”
Milly smiled, finding Michelle’s clinginess amusing. Gone was the high and mighty attitude of the Fitzgeralds‘ eldest daughter.
But I have to admit, she looks pretty cute like this.
Milly, taller at 168 cm than Michelle’s 160 cm, wrapped an arm around her and pulled her close. “Okay. Don’t be scared. I’ll hold you while we walk.”
Michelle nodded. “Okay.”
But she still reminded Milly anxiously, “Promise you won’t let go!”
