'ooh, won't you slytherin to my chamber of secrets!' jungkook calls with a grin as they walk up the road and minghao lets out a snort next to him. 'i mean. other way around. let me slytherin to your chamber of secrets.' jungkook puts a hand over his face. 'i need to think before i talk.'

'you'll learn one day,' dawon assures him with a grin.

'you'll have to settle for the mirror of erised, darling,' jihyo shoots back, her cloak swirling around her ankles as she comes to give them all hugs.

'you guys are useless. no costumes?' dawon asks.

'i'm using yerin's facepaint,' jungkook tells her, 'i'm a trick or treater.'

'i have a costume,' mingyu protests, pointing at the devil horns on his head.

dawon snorts as jihyo laughs, and reaches up to take them off his head, plonking them on minghao.

'that's more like it,' she says with a grin and minghao narrows his eyes at her.

'now i don't have a costume.'

'oh, there's something for you upstairs,' dawon assures him.

'fake witch!' yoohyeon yells as soon as she sees jihyo.

'witch in training,' jihyo shoots back, 'nice hat.'

yoohyeon tilts the pointed hat on her head. 'thanks, it was my mother's.'

dawon heads over to lalisa, sitting crosslegged on the bed.

'lisa, darling, you're going to have a couple costume,' dawon tells her, 'and i'm going to need to borrow these.' she reaches out for the floppy dog ears headband on lisa's hair.

'as long as it's not with bambam,' lisa responds.

'i heard that!' bambam's voice comes floating over from where he's smoking out his eyes at the mirror, his rich red vampire's cape draped over the back of his chair. 'in' rude.'

'mingyu tried to be a devil,' dawon tells her and lalisa laughs.

'why does everyone laugh at that,' mingyu complains, ducking his head down so dawon can fix the ears onto him.

'it's just not you,' lalisa tells him sympathetically.

'but now you don't have ears,' mingyu points out

'easily fixed,' dawon dismisses. 'yerin, do you have two small hairties?'

yerin (donning a beehive and cateye liner, a match to the tattoo on her bicep) laughs and uncurls herself from yoohyeon's side. 'obviously. i'll get them for you now.'

'you're an angel,' dawon tells her with a smile.

'um, i think you'll find that's me,' jimin says, appearing in the doorway, in a white dress with white wings, shimmery white makeup flaring out from her eyes, a halo wobbling over her head. she looks jungkook up and down.

'i'm getting yerin to paint my face,' jungkook says immediately, and jimin nods.

'good. there're shots in the kitchen.'

'we will be right there,' dawon says, tying two ponytails into loops on the top of lalisa's head.

'give us a few minutes!' rose cries from where she's straddling luda's lap, doing her makeup, a vision in black lace, her eyes smoked black and gold, white and gold dots accentuating the curves of her cheekbones and cupids bow. 'i'm almost done!'

'mingyu's gotta complete his transformation anyway,' dawon says, reaching for the facepaint yerin left for her, beckoning mingyu over.

gyujin's handed a shot as soon as he walks though the door by yugyeom in a bloody doctor's coat.

'wow, prompt service,' gyujin says.

'you gotta catch up!' jungkook shouts from the couch, and yerin slaps his shoulder.

'do you want me to paint your face or not?' she demands.

'i asked you to just do a ty skeleton, does it matter if i yell and it up?' he asks.

'yes. shut up,' yerin tells him and he obediently shuts his mouth.

'and the girls have an outfit for you and are waiting for you in the bedroom,' minghao says from next to him.

gyujin eyes the doorway to the bedroom apprehensively as it opens and luda slips out, dressed in a white velvet bodysuit, white and pastel coloured shimmers coating most of her face, stars painted carefully down her cheeks, a gold horn tied to her head.

'i'm a unicorn!' she declares proudly, throwing her arms open wide.

gyujin takes the shot.

'nice body suit,' he says.

'thanks,' she replies, 'would you believe it was in my mom's closet?' she gives a little burp and makes a pained expression as a tiny puff of smoke emerges from .

gyujin blinks. 'what just happened,' he says, 'how.'

jungkook reaches up to pause yerin in her task, chortling. 'luda here forgot how to smoke.'

'i didn't really smoke with you guys in school!' luda complains, 'and you just said breath it in twice and that was not helpful!'

'it's what i always do, and i have never inhaled it so wrong i ended up burping smoke,' jungkook replies.

'that has got to be so bad for you,' gyujin says in disbelief.

luda pouts a little. 'yeah. i'm going to go drink more. gyujin, you're wanted in the bedroom.'

'should i be scared?'

'only if you're a !' luda calls as she disappears into the kitchen.

'hasn't it been established that i am?' he asks plaintively.

'it's not a cat outfit,' yerin tells him, putting the final touches on jungkook's face, 'though that would have been very fitting.'

'that does not make me feel better,' gyujin informs her as he heads to the bedroom anyway.

/

'that is just a piece of material,' yugyeom comments when gyujin emerges from the room, glitter in his hair, eyebrows, and down the side of his face, a swath of pink chiffon draped around his waist and shoulder, tucked into his boxers for security, pink children's fairy wings attached to his back, and drink in hand.

'it is itchy as ,' gyujin informs him.

'so i guess you're crashing here, then,' luda says with a laugh, 'so you can get your clothes.'

'luda, darling, we're not crashing anywhere,' dawon says, coming out after gyujin. 'are we all ready to go?'

a murmur of assent goes around the room, and jungkook stubs out the joint he's holding in the ashtray next to him as he nods. 

'let's go then,' jimin says, leading the charge to the door. 

/

'what do you want?' jungkook asks over the music, and rose shrugs. 

'i dunno. gin and tonic?'

'yes,' jungkook says emphatically, sweat plastering his hair to his smudged facepainted forehead. he lifts up his hand wave over the bartender. 'could i have two double gin and tonics?' he asks and the bartender leans in closer.

'excuse me?'

'two triple gin and tonics,' jungkook says and rose looks at him in faint confusion.

'did you just say tr-' jungkook shushes her.

rose stares with wide eyes as the gin is poured over ice, and topped up with tonic water, and takes the finished drink with mild trepidation.

'this is like three quarters gin,' she says as she stirs it.

'and it's delicious,' jungkook tells her after taking a sip of his own drink.

rose isn't sure if it's because she's drunk so much already, but when she takes a taste of her own, she's inclined to agree.

/

mingyu barrels into jimin's back as she stands at the bar and she lets out a shout of surprise.

'what are you-!'

'no, look, look over there,' mingyu hisses in her ear, hands on her waist. 'on the other side of the bar.'

jimin looks over, trying to find what mingyu is talking about. 'what am i looking at.'

'by the curve. minghao is totally buying dawon a drink.'

jimin's eyes light up as she spots them. 'oh my god, they're standing so close!'

'this is totally happening,' mingyu insists and jimin nods vehemently. 

'i agree. they're so vibing. so much.'

'has she said anything?'

'not really, no. has he?'

mingyu groans and stamps his feet a little. 'he's been so evasive.'

jimin narrows her eyes across the bar as the bartender approaches with her drink. 'we will get to the bottom of this.'

/

it's a bit past midnight when jungkook pauses mid-conversation with yugyeom, turns, and strides towards the bathroom. yugyeom blinks after him before following along curiously, recoiling when he looks in to see jungkook bent over the sink, spitting the last remnants of vomit out of his mouth. it's with a morbid fascination that yugyeom peers in again to see jungkook running the tap, carefully making sure the sink is completely clean, rinsing his mouthout and washing his hands. he does one last survey and then nods and heads out the bathroom.

'you good?' yugyeom asks, trailing behind him as he walks past and jungkook starts a bit.

'yeah, i'm great,' he says and collides with the bar. 'hey! can i get... two shots of jager?' he turns to yugyeom. 'do you want? four shots of jager!' he turns back to yugyeom, leaning heavily against the bar as the bartender gathered the shotglasses. 'where'd my candy bowl go.'

yugyeom snorts. 'dude, that is long gone.'

jungkook makes a face. 'that's very disappointing. i hope i at least ate most of it.'

'i think you were throwing it at people.' yugyeom holds up a shot for an air clink.

'that sounds about right,' jungkook sighs and throws back the first shot. 

/

dawon hands a swaying jimin a drink and jimin blinks up at her in gratitude.

'oh my god,' she blubbers, 'i love you, you're the best person. wait. wait.' she shoves the drink back into dawon's hands and goes to wrestle the halo alive band off her head, her hair sticking up every which way. 'here, you deserve this.'

dwon ducks down to let jimin put it on her head, laughing a bit as she does so.

'she's already a superhero though,' bambam burbles and jimin shushes him, taking her drink back.

'okay, but batman's an emo and dawon is an angel of pure light and heaven, okay.'

/

it's probably not advisable to walk for half an hour in the wee hours of the morning, but they couldn't all fit all of them in one uber and are loathe to be separated and really, lalisa says, they're basically a mob, so they make their way stumbling down the sidewalk, making a stop at a garage store to get energy drinks and snacks.

'i'm going to be so broke after this,' yoohyeon mourns as she hands over the last of her cash.

they make it to the beach in one piece, despite many, many stumbles, yerin pulling the alcohol she'd fetched from her house out of her backpack.

/

gyujin's lost the material, leaving it back at yerin's during the alcohol pick up, having added a hoodie. he has jungkook leaning against him, limpbodied, having to make a huge effort to sit up straight. mina's on his other side, hand travelling up jihyo's thigh as jihyo kisses gyujin, seated comfortably on his lap.

jungkook jolts back to reality when jihyo breaks away from gyujin and leans in to kiss him, mina reaching up to tilt gyujin's jaw towards her and kissing him.

they can see the sea, everyone spread out along the boardwalk. they're on the concrete benches under a couple trees that had been claimed as a kind of base, the backpack, alcohol, and some headwear was stacked. lalisa has fallen asleep, curled up with bambam's cape on the bench. no one seems to have quite noticed them.

luda just lets out a small shriek when she wanders past and notices them, gyujin and jungkook lazily making out while jihyo still has a hand cupped on gyujin's neck as she kisses mina, mina's hand cupping her through her shirt. jihyo break away to wink at a now furiously giggling luda turning back and blinking when mina's pulled gyujin towards her, before shrugging and leaning over to kiss jungkook.

/

they're all awake to watch the sunrise, the last of the vodka being mixed with energy drinks, lalisa claiming a full bottle to her own as she sits there, blinking at the rays of light peeking over the horizon.

jungkook's not the only one who's not entirely steady on their feet, but he is the only one who is barely mobile, yugyeom and mingyue working together to deposit him on the slide as they begin to huddle around the play area, murmurs starting up to figure out how to get home.

'we need a phone with airtime,' dawon says definitively.

'i have airtime,' rose pipes up, 'but my phone's dead. i took too many pictures.'

'okay, we need a phone that has airtime and battery life,' dawon says with a laugh, leaning against minghao, and mingyu flaps a hand at jimin that quickly turns into a little slap fight before dying out with a yawn.

'i have airtime,' jungkook slurs, 'so much airtime.'

yugyeom manages to get jungkook's phone out of his pocket, his face brightening when the screen lights up.

'...jungkook, what's your passcode?'

jungkook shrugs. 'i'ono. one two three four?'

yugyeom looks at jungkook, unimpressed. 'it's a pattern passcode.'

'well, ,' is jungkook's emphatic reply.

'hey, guys,' yoohyeon pipes up, 'guys.'

yerin tilts her head to look up at her.

'happy halloween.'
