My Hitman System

"I was not expecting that," Diana said as she raised her head all the way up to look at the towering tower before her.

Neon Tower, that's what this observation tower was named. From the top of the tower, one gets the best possible view of the whole Neon City, especially if they visit it at night when the whole city gets lit up in colours ranging from violet to red.

A splendid sight, however a sight that comes for 80,000 Draks per person.

It included a candlelight dinner at the top where the customers could savour the meal while delighting their eyes with the dazzling view of the entire city through the glass panes. However, that's not everything there's also a greenhouse where they could have a good night's walk after a hearty meal while observing the starry night sky above.

"So is this over your expectations or under?" Jin asked with a smile on his face.

"Over of course, This has always been on my to-do list for the future once I've made enough money. However…Aren't you just a new actor, won't it be troublesome for you to spend so much money like this?" Diana asked out of concern and also she felt burdened by his actions.

"A new actor who is going to debut soon," Jin rephrased her.

"...but still. How much would a new actor even be paid? Your role is that of a villain as well. I doubt that you will be paid enough to spend it lavishly like this. You should be investing that much money on polishing your acting skills instead of splurging it like this," Diana said.

"I forgot to mention, I'm both the villain and the main character of the story," Jin replied with a grin. He had been keeping it from her all this while. Mostly because she never asked about it directly.

"You…what?!" Diana was about to advise him again but the next moment she realised the enormity of his claim. "Are you for real?" She couldn't help but ask again.

"Hehe, surprise surprise," Jin snickered.

"What the hell?! Doesn't it mean that you're going to be a rising star?" She asked

"If the film does well then I most likely will," Jin replied.

"That's crazy!... I've been dating a future star all this while…is this a romantic novel or what? oh god…this feels too unreal to me," Diana was taking a while to accept this reality as a variety of thoughts were going through her mind after this revelation by Jin.

"I like how you think by default that the film will do well," Jin found the way she was reacting very adorable.

"It will not?..." She asked in a tone of concern.

"It all depends on luck, the storyline's pretty good if you ask me though but one can never be too sure whether a movie will be a hit or not," Jin answered objectively.

"Stop, positive affirmations are the key, don't say things like that got it? If you keep on saying negative things then the negative things will come true so replace them with positive ones and never say something like that again got it?" Diana asked whether he understood her words or not

Jin nodded in an amused manner when he saw her like this.

"Good, now repeat after me, My film will be a hit," Diana forced Jin to repeat those lines ten times before finally leaving him alone.

"So if we're done with this then shall we go inside now?" Jin asked Diana with a sigh.

Diana nodded and the two of them made their way to the entrance. Inside, there was a reception table and Jin walked towards it along with Diana.

"Sir, do you have a reservation?" The receptionist asked.

"Yes, it would be by the name of Jin Blaker," Jin replied.

The receptionist double-checked on her computer and nodded in confirmation.

She handed Jin a sparking black card with the number 7 written on it in white. "That's the number of the table which had been reserved for you. Please show that to the person outside the restaurant when you reach the top. I hope you have a pleasant evening Mr. Jin," The receptionist informed Jin.

"Understood, thank you," Jin received the card and walked towards the elevator with Diana in tow.

The elevator had two three buttons on it named: Greenhouse, Restaurant, Ground Floor

Very convenient for one to follow. Jin pressed 'Restaurant' and the two soon reached the designated floor.

"So beautiful…" Diana muttered the moment the doors of the elevator opened and the dim and ambient atmosphere of the place welcomed her sight.

"It indeed is," Jin agreed as he showed his card to the person waiting near the elevator door. The man inspected the card and soon told them to follow him.

The two of them were soon seated at their table right next to the glass panes. The waiter soon lit the candle that was placed in the middle of the table and passed a menu to both of them.

"This is really a surreal experience," Diana said as she looked at the finely decorated surroundings in her dimly lit environment. The candlelight had added a sense of warmth to the previous atmosphere thus making it more comfortable for her.

"I can order anything right?" Diana took the initiative to ask this time.

Jin chuckled seeing her proactive nature, "Of course, no need to show any restraint and order whatever catches your attention. I'll do the same,"

"Hehe, restraint? What is restraint?" Diana joked as she opened up the menu and started going over the dishes. Knowing that Jin would not feel burdened by her choice she soon decided upon a dish that she was truly interested in very unlike the time when she went to the 5-star hotel with Jin for the first time.

Jin smiled seeing this and he too started going over the menu. A few moments later they gave their order with an expectant expression on their faces.

"Wanna go and stand there until our food arrives?" Jin pointed towards his right where the glass pane was there.

"Sure," Diana concurred and the two were now looking over the entire Neon City completely dazzled by it.

"It looks as if it's not a city but a sea of sparkling stars," Diana let out her thoughts.

"True, and one of the stars that resides in this city is standing right next to me," Jin remarked.

"You never let an opportunity like this go, do you?" Diana a bit flattered retorted the next moment.

"If I did then I wouldn't had shared my feelings with you when we first met," Jin replied.

"That's true…it's been more than a month since our first meeting. At that time I never thought that a collision with a stranger would result in this," Diana shared her thoughts.

"Life sure is unpredictable," Jin added.

"It sure is," Diana muttered. Her eyes lost their focus while looking towards the dazzling city as a few nostalgic fragments from her memory went past her mind.

Jin too enjoyed the momentary silence and looked back on how far he had come. He, a slum dweller, had completely transformed his life in just a few months of times and it all began the day he received the system.

While the two of them were lost in their own thoughts the sound of plates being placed on the table brought them back from their thoughts. They turned around and saw that the food was currently being placed on the table by the waiter.

The delicious smell of the warm food soon entered their nostrils and whetted their appetites further.

"Let's dig in," Jin said and gestured towards Diana. She too nodded and the two of them sat back down on their seats to enjoy a hearty dinner.

Under the light of the candlelight, the two of them enjoy a sumptuous meal while exchanging talks with each other.

"It's pretty isn't it?" Jin asked Diana who was walking alongside him.

"It is," Diana replied as she looked up through the spherical roof made of glass. The twinkling stars and the beautiful moon made sure to make their evening a memorable one.

They were currently walking around the greenhouse after finishing their meal. Just like them, there were a few couples who were doing the same which added a subtle sense of romance in the air.

It could be said that with each step the distance between their hearts was diminishing. After walking a few hundred meters Jin finally took out the gift he had prepared for Diana.

"Here's a gift for you to make this night more memorable," Jin said with a bright face under the illumination of the moonlight.

Diana at first wanted to say that there really was no need for him to buy a present for her but her heart thumped all of a sudden the moment she saw Jin's face as he turned to face her.

Under the moon's light, his charming face looked breathtaking to her. It was the first time since their meeting that she had felt such deep feelings for him.

'What's happening to me? Have I fallen for him?' Diana thought in her mind.

While Diana was dealing with her inner turmoil Jin opened up the pendant box and showed it to her.

"It's beautiful," Diana said when her eyes fell on the pendant. It didn't look overly extravagant but it had a unique taste to it that demanded attention.

"I'm glad you liked it, shall I put it on you then?" Jin suggested.

Diana's heart started thumping even quicker when she heard it and a red hue started appearing on her cheeks.

A couple of seconds later, she nodded while looking down, too embarrassed to meet Jin's eyes. She adjusted her hair to make it easier for Jin to place it on her.

Jin's warm hands soon touched her cold back making her shiver slightly. A few moments later the pendant was successfully placed around her neck and Jin was admiring Diana with great delight.

"Does it look good?" Diana asked shyly.

"It looks fantastic. However, nothing beats your smile," Jin complimented, which invited an embarrassed smile on her face.

"Shall we continue with our walk then?" Jin offered his hand to Diana.

"Good night then," Jin told Diana as he walked her to the door of her apartment.

"Yeah...goodnight," Diana said with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Jin did not keep her waiting for long as his lips soon touched hers and a passionate exchange of desire ensured between the two of them and continued for a period unknown to the two of them.

When the passion subsided and clarity entered their minds the two lips separated. They both wanted to continue but the mixture of complicated thoughts in their minds prevented them from doing so.

'I want him...but I also feel that all is too quick...,' was the thought going around in Diana's mind.

'If I go any further then things will become difficult for me later on,' was the thought going around in Jin's mind.

"I'll be going then, sleep well," Jin said with an uncomfortable smile on his face.

"Y-yes, good night," Diana too replied in an awkward manner.

In this way, the night that was supposed to be filled with passion came to an abrupt end.

A/N: Uhm...I hope it wasn't boring. If it was then do tell, I'll work on it.
