Chapter 97 Watching the Movie
The surrounding noise soon dwindled with the film's start, and everyone else was now focusing on the big screen.
'Smile Please,' A bloody font with a blood-dripping effect welcomed everyone's sight the next second. The sound effects that complimented the scene shook everyone's heart and prepared them a bit for what was to come.
However, instead of a brutal scene as everyone was expecting what appeared on the screen next was a scene of a photographer cheerfully taking pictures in a park.
While he was invested in taking photographs the camera zoomed onto his face and revealed the identity of the photographer.
"Damn…you're sure to steal a few hearts here," Diana whispered to Jin when she saw how cheerful and lively Jin appeared in this scene. Even she had only seen him like this in a few rare moments.
Jin just smiled and listened to her. The movie progressed and Diana soon became fully invested in the film, to the point that she no longer looked at Jin to give her comments.
As for Jin, instead of the film, he was more focused on Diana the whole time. Seeing the different shades of expression during different scenes brought great delight to him as a smile always remained on his face while staring at her. Diana remained clueless about this until the end.
Two hours were almost up but the audience was unaware of it. They were solely focused on the screen not wanting to avert their gaze for even a second. The tension in the air was apparent as everyone held their breath and saw Jake murdering the young detective by stabbing him countless times. Even though the detective no longer showed any signs of struggle the knife never stopped.
A few moments later. With the blood-soaked knife which was still dripping blood drops in his hand, Jake stood in front of the dead body without moving and the screen started to darken.
Everyone sighed seeing this, the film was finally over…however, before they could control their breathing the screen brightened once again and zoomed towards Jake's blood-drenched face.
'You've been observing me for quite some while huh…won't you smile for me as well my dear viewer hahahaha!' Jake looked straight into the camera thereby attacking the heart of every viewer with his words.
His maniacal laughter caused a cold sweat to run down many people's backs and the movie finally ended.
The lights in the hall were turned on but silence ensued for a couple of seconds in the hall before all the film members started clapping cheerfully. They had realized by now that this film was going to break the charts!
However, the family members who accompanied the film crew were still recovering from what they had witnessed. It was the first time they had seen such a film and were caught off guard by Jin's acting.
It was the same with Diana. She had her mind stuck on the last scene and didn't even realize the sounds of cheering next to her.
Seeing this, Jin tapped her shoulder to attract her attention. Diana was brought out of her stupor and turned towards Jin.
"Why aren't you smiling?" Jin asked eerily in Jake's persona. The maniacal smile complimented his act and made Diana immediately shout at the top of her lungs.
"AHHHHHHH! Stay away from me you monster!" She pushed Jin away with fright and ran outside the hall the next moment.
Diana's shout attracted everyone's attention in the hall and they turned their heads towards them to understand what was going on. Upon seeing Jin they all soon understood what had transpired and started laughing at the situation
"Nice one!"
"Haha! You better go and apologise"
"Jack is here run!"
Several comments were made by everyone present at the scene which made the atmosphere more lively.
"Go and catch her before she calls the cop Mr. Villain," Samantha said jokingly and patted Jin's back.
"Yep, I better," Jin said while controlling his urge to laugh at Diana's reaction and soon left the hall to find Diana.
Diana was currently standing not far away from the hall's exit. Leaning on a wall with her hand she was currently recovering her breath while trying to comfort her racing heart. It was only when she was outside the hall that she was able to think rationally and was almost red from embarrassment. Find exclusive stories on empire
"That rascal! He just had to scare me like that…ugh! I'm so embarrassed. I'll surely teach him a lesson when I see him next." Diana lashed out in anger.
"You will?"Jin's menacing voice sounded from behind which made Diana jump from fright yet again.
"You! Stop doing that! That almost gave me a bloody heart attack," Diana shouted at him with her hand on her chest which was beating like crazy. Her heart had almost jumped out because of Jin.
"Hahaha! I'm sorry…you just looked so cute like this and I couldn't control myself," Jin replied while trying hard to hold his laughter but it was all too apparent to Diana who was glaring at him in anger.
"It's not cute for me!" She rebuked in anger and turned towards the other side to not see his appearance.
"Don't be so angry now, if anything you need to get used to my face more since you'll be staying with me for the next week," Jin embraced her from behind and said.
"W-what.." Diana was about to ask but Jin answered the next moment.
"Now don't tell me that you don't remember. We made a bet and I won. Now you'll be staying with me at the hotel for the whole week…you're not scared right?" Jin joked.
"This…" Diana hesitated as the cruel images of Jin she had seen not so long before kept flashing in front of her eyes.
*slap*
Jin slapped her fluffy butt in a well-practised manner to attract Diana's attention. An electrifying feeling rang in Diana's body. Her legs weakened and a tinge of red appeared on her face. However, the next moment she looked around to see if anyone saw Jin's action. She finally took a sigh after realizing that no one did.
"You-!" She was about to scold Jin but was interrupted by him the next moment.
"Stop thinking too much," he breathed into her ears and playfully bit her earlobe while doing so. This action brought all the memorable moments she had spent together with Jin to the forefront of her mind as her body started feeling warm. The earlier hesitation was no longer there in her mind, and instead, she was looking forward to the week.
"Let's go then," Diana replied firmly.
Jin smiled and pinched her nose with his hand.
"W-what!" Diana pushed him away and asked while looking at Jin, clearly annoyed by his action.
"Quite excited aren't you? We still have a dinner party to attend now that the film is over," Jin remarked while pointing at the buffet hall nearby.
"It's all your fault!" Diana blamed Jin out of anger and embarrassment.
"Then punish me well tonight dear, hehe~" Jin chuckled as he made his way towards the hall where a buffet was organized.
"You!" Diana stood there in embarrassment before finally catching up with Jin.
