"What are you watching, actually?" Ramon couldn't help asking when he saw Hailee cover herself with a blanket every time a violent scene began, and almost seventy percent of the film she chose was filled with such scenes.
So, what did Hailee actually want to see? Ramon wasn't even sure if this girl understood the storyline.
After a long debate in front of Ramon's door, the man finally gave up and let Hailee watch the horror film she wanted in his room, because it seemed like Ramon needed some time to relax too, he had even forgotten the last time he watched a movie, because from what he could remember, he would always be too busy with a job that seemed like it would never end.
"Shh! Don't be so loud, I'm listening," Hailee protested from under the covers, in response to Ramon's scolding.
Meanwhile Ramon could only sigh, unable to understand this girl's behavior.
A moment later Hailee's head popped out from under the blanket to watch a scene in the film that was less tense and bloody. However, when one of the players who was being killed was screaming, the girl immediately covered her head again.
Wrapping all her body up to the head. "What happened, what happened? Who is being killed?" she asked.
"You can take off the covers and see for yourself what happens, you know!" Ramon exclaimed irritably. He wasn't sure if this was the relaxing time he'd imagined a moment ago.
"Don't want to, don't want to!" The blanket wrapped around Hailee moved, indicating that the girl was shaking her head. "Just tell me what happened."
Hailee, literally, had forced him to watch scenes of the carnage and tell her what he saw, as if he were a storyteller.
"How can I watch when I have to talk to you?" Ramon rejected Hailee's ridiculous idea.
"Just tell me who died!" Hailee insisted and because there was still a heart wrenching scream from the actor who was dying, Hailee still refused to lift the blanket that covered her. "Just say it briefly. My weak heart can't see scenes like that." Now Hailee was sulking.
Ramon closed his eyes. What 'weak heart'? Wasn't this a film of her own choice? Nobody forced her to watch this.
"You are such a pain," Ramon said angrily.
Even though that's what he said, the man who was famous for his cold nature and didn't really sociaLise with his peers, finally relented and complied with Hailee's request.
With a tone of grumbling and scolding here and there, Ramon recounted what he had seen and occasionally gave off his speculations as to what was coming next, which was mostly true.
Meanwhile, Hailee would follow Ramon's words, if the man said the scene was safe for her, then she would come out of hiding, but when the storyline get tensed again, Hailee would hide again.
This was what continued until the film was finished.
"It's finally over…" said Hailee, staring at the end credits that were still running on the screen. "Want to watch another movie again?" Hailee asked, turning to her side only to find Ramon glaring at her with a fierce gaze.
"No," Ramon replied curtly and immediately lifted the blanket covering Hailee. "Now get out of my room."
