Chapter 96 Premiere Day
When he returned to his room, instead of sleeping, Jin was tossing around in his bed. The reason was the gym woman's appearance.
Since she's always dressed fully in a hoodie Jin could only get a glimpse of her face from afar but today thanks to his debacle he was able to see her face in a more detailed manner.
'She looks very familiar…I just don't know why,' Jin had this thought in his mind and tried to recall the face from his memories many times but no matter how much he tried he was unable to accurately pinpoint where he had seen her before.
'Whatever, it might even be a wrong feeling and here I am wasting away my sleep time cause of it,' Noticing the time on the clock Jin soon forced his mind to not think over the issue. With this, his mind quietened and fell asleep.
The next day started and soon neared its end. Jin followed an almost similar schedule as yesterday and went to the gym in the late evening.
"Good evening," Jin greeted the woman instead of the regular nod.
"Don't die," She nodded and greeted back in her own style before focusing back on her workout.
'Well, at least she replies now,' Jin mused inwardly and started today's gym session. Fortunately, things went without any problem today and Jin finished his workouts according to his plan. (A/N: Inserts Aizen's pic)
The days kept on passing with Jin developing his acting and combat skills, spending time with Diana and her father, and finally ending with him hitting the gym in the end.
During this time period, the PR team of the film was hard at work and several posters, advertisements, and trailers about the movie were being promoted massively on social media.
Several entertainment shows invited the movie's actors to talk about the film. However, Jin wasn't invited in any of them.
It was decided after an intense discussion by the PR team that Jin's identity must be kept a secret until the very end from the audience.
The actors who went to the shows completed their task of building more suspense over the identity of the main character by complimenting and commenting on his performance a lot while keeping his identity a secret all the time.
It was almost unheard of that an upcoming movie had not revealed the name of the main character and it raised several eyebrows and attracted immense attention from everyone.
In a popular online forum, someone started a discussion
'Hey did you all see the trailer of the movie 'Smile Please'
'You bet I did!' Just who is this man? All I see is a darkened face…Ahhh the suspense is killiing me!!
'Same here! I've never heard about a movie where they have not revealed the identity of the main cast until the end?...gosh if the director was not Douglas Mathews, I would have thought this director must be out of his mind to allow something like this!'
'I know right?! All of Douglas's movies have been my favs until now…just who is this actor for them to hide his identity? Even before its release, the movie is living up to its 'suspense' genre!!'
'Haha! Ikr!'
'The film's poster looks so cool! I can just sense that it's going to be a banger from that,'
'It's going to be a flop, dumb cast, useless director. Only dumb people like you will like it,'
'The commenter above me, eat shit,'
'Eat shit x2'
'Eat Shit x3'
Like this several discussions started happening around and the popularity of the film rose tremendously.
Most opinions were that of doubt since this was a never-before-seen move. Normally the main casts help in making sure that the film has a fair share of audiences who will definitely go and watch the film. To not reveal such crucial information was more like shooting oneself in the foot.
Several critics posted their views online but it was all ignored by the PR team who held full belief in their decision.
Finally, it was the time for the grand premiere Enjoy more content from empire
Jin and Diana exited the car and made their way towards the theatre.
"I'm soooo excited,' Diana was brimming with excitement as they were making their way.
Jin chuckled seeing this and said, "Calm down and save your energy woman or you'll fall asleep in between the film,"
"Me fall asleep? That too when it's my boyfriend who's on the screen? Are you kidding? I might even cheer for you the whole time in the movie hall and disturb everyone else hehe~," Diana replied with the same energy in her.
"Cheer? Are you sure you want to do that and become the centre of attention in a hall filled with around two hundred people?" Jin asked mockingly.
"Well...on a second note, cheering should always be done from the heart. In this way, I'll never get tired of the cheering and will always be cheering for you. Aren't I a good girlfriend? Where else will you find someone as good as me?" Diana tried to make up a reply and finding her reasoning to make sense she gained confidence all of a sudden and teased Jin back.
"Quite a glib tongue you got," Jin replied.
"Thank you, thank you," Diana shamelessly accepted Jin's remark.
The two soon reached the theatre's entrance. The whole theatre was booked for the film crew and their family members. So after showing their passes, they were allowed in.
Inside, much to Diana's delight, Jin introduced her to everyone as his girlfriend. She felt elated each time he did so and greeted back the actors and the other staff whom Jin introduced her to with great enthusiasm.
At eight in the evening, they all made their way to the hall where the movie was about to start. After being seated Jin suddenly asked Diana, "A few weeks back I remember you saying that you won't be scared after watching my acting today, do you still feel the same?"
"Of course and I meant those words," Diana replied with confidence written on her face. How could she fear her lovable boyfriend ever? She didn't see it happening no matter what.
"Then wanna make a bet?" Jin asked with a smirk.
"What bet?" She asked curiously.
"It's this…" Jin leaned towards her and explained the terms to her.
She nodded as she heard Jin's words and then gave her terms if she won and soon a bet was made between the two of them.
'If I win I can go shopping with him for 4 consecutive days? What a wonderful time it would be…hehe,' Diana thought sadistically.
She still remembered the first time she went shopping with Jin. After that day he had always refused to go with her but with this bet, she will definitely take him with her.
While Diana was busy relishing in the thoughts of her victory the advertisements that were being shown on the big screen soon disappeared and the movie finally started.
