it was finally the night, the halloween school celebration. Everyone was excited and pumped up for the night. They all dolled up looking their absolute stunning with the fantasy themed costumes. The event is just minutes away from officially starting.

And someone was really late. Beomgyu has been waiting by the gate for 15 minutes already, the night wind was really hard for him to cope up with but luckily he wore his hogwart's gryffindor robe, matching with the gold and red scarf. The layers of his schools uniform to the sweater to the robe was really effective on keeping his body warm. On his grasp was also the magic wand to complete his wizard look.

a striking light flashes to his face and a familiar car stopped by the sidewalks, it was hyemin's. A smile crept onto his face, happy to see the arrival of his long-waited company. The night was rather dark so the sight of hyemin's costume was still a mystery to him until the streetlight flashes above her, making her costume visible as she approach with a sheepish smile, feeling shy.

Her costume theme screamed the mysterious ghost witch look, especially the makeup. She wore a long dark dress with a few blue and white clouds shapes with skeleton faces by the end of her sleeves and the centre of her dress opening. Her top was covered with the hood which made her seem even more mysterious than ever. He was awing at her. (u can look at the top image for her dress)

"hey, why are you so latee... the event is about to startt" beomgyu muttered out as an attempt to cover his nonstop smiling face as he approaches hyemin's side. He urge her to walk faster as he took grasp of her arm. "hey.. hey.. hey!" hyemin raised her voice.

"don't walk to fast, i can barely stand in these heels" she blurted out, rasing her dress a little to make sure she doesn't trip. Beomgyu was amazed. "wow, you really wore heels?!" he repeated with joy, amuse to know that she took serious of his request.

"yeah, these are my mom's. Lucky for me that these were a perfect fit when i tried it on" hyemin cooed, also surprised in knowing that she shares almost the same shoe size as her mom. Beomgyu only manage to curst into chuckles. "okay.. okay.. you can slow down if you want"

"darn these heels" she cursed under her breath but was vividly heard by beomgyu as he only threw out another giggle. "i can't do this, we can't afford to be late for the event" she exclaimed with full determination before raising her dress even higher and taking long strides of running to the school hall. Beomgyu was amused by the sight, he continued on laughing as he tails from behind.

the school hall was decorated nicely with pumpkin lights everywhere; crafted nicely by the seniors, the spooky garlands, fake candles and ghost shadows made with some white cloth and flashing lights and the disco ball by the center of the hall. It was perfect, especially with our cookies being plated by the snack table. 

the event has already started with the school performance team and a special screening. The best costume contest was what everyone was looking forward to, we both had high hopes but the chances are thin especially when everyone looked stunning.

The ghost house was mandatory to enter but some managed to avoid with their excuses of joining the make up and backstage team. Students entered according to their year and classes. The seniors went first but screams were heard echoing through the school making mostly everyone had shivers down their spines.

it was then our turn, everyone was scared and resisted on stepping inside even for beomgyu. But hyemin on the other hand, was thrilled and excited to go inside and scare off every ghost instead. Beomgyu was gulping for the sixth time already.

We were arranged in groups of six, and unfortunately beomgyu was the only male in the group. Everyone was shivering and all cuddled up among each other already eventhough they haven't stepped inside yet. Hyemin was wearing her mischevious smile as she stand at the front among the others. Beomgyu was helplessly hiding behind hyemin, in fear.

Although the place was familiar to everyone but the dark was keeping everyone filled with horror thoughts. The school hall was turned into a tunnel only lights from the outside rayed the hall with some lights. There were spiderwebs almost everywhere on the ceiling, dust slowly falls off as a creaking door sound was heard. Everyone flinched in terror.

sounds of bats suddenly echoed through the scene as something was felt moving against our feets. Everyone jumped in unison in attempt of avoiding whatever past through their feets. Sounds of the eerie wind from the open window welcomed us as a flicker lights suddenly came. "wait, where are the ghost?" hyemin suddenly spoke out, not feeling anything much from the scene.

everyone's attention suddenly turned to her, "gYAAAAAAAAKKK!" they all screamed in unison as hyemin only knitted her brows in confusion. Beomgyu already squated down on the floor with his eyes shut closed and his hands covering his ears. The girls wore their terrified looks whilst shivering in terror, raising their fingers, "b-behind you.." one of them said.

twisting her ankle, "BOO!!" suddenly a scary looking figure popped out in between the striking flash of light. The figure looked alike with a zombie wearing a ripped white cloth. It was a boy with thick powder on his face as he makes a posture as if his body was dislocated. The girls fled first through the halls with screams, leaving hyemin and beomgyu helplessly behind. 

Hyemin did get herself starled but she didn't let out a single scream. Instead, she stared closer towards the figure's face. Her face lits up, "heyy! it's jihoon" she spoke out, laughing. The figure was not falling for it. It made another attempt of scaring hyemin as he moved closer and gave out another surprise with his creepy zombie sound.

But hyemin was busy laughing in her own world, "i still can recognise you, jihoon" she sarcastically nudged whilst patting by his cheeks softly. "but i'm super impressed with the make up they gave you, wow" she continued, admiring the zombie makeup.

the zombie figure stood straight, "aish, how could you not be scared of me?" the figure blurted out in dissapointment,  feeling embarrassed somehow.

hyemin bursted into laugh, "how would i know that?" she blandly responded, not feeling a single fear yet feeling thrilled as she nudge her shoulders.

"i better think of more scary facials for the next group" jihoon mumbled out before going back to his hiding spot.

hyemin was still amused as she noticed that someone else was indeed terrified by jihoon's surprise. Beomgyu was still kneeling on the floor with his eyes tightly shut and his hands covering his ears tight. Hyemin took grasp of his shoulders as he flinched and gave out another high pitch scream.

"hey, choi beomgyu" hyemin called out to his senses. "it's me, hyemin"

as he snapped back to his senses, he threw himself to an embrace with hyemin. She could feel the quivers beomgyu gave out as they made contact together. "d-don't leave me..."

he tightern their grip. "don't leave me behind... i'm scared"

hyemin softly carress against his hair as comfort, "hold me tight.."
