"Ladies!" K greeted the cousins and company when he opened the door of Boys Two's home.

"Welcome and nice costumes!"

"Hi!" They greeted.

"Thanks!"

K motioned them to come inside as he explained what was going on where and to make themselves comfortable. Some from their friend group were having their own Halloween party tonight at Boys Two once classes were done for the day. Several chose to join in the Everland's Halloween Party Parde, some explored the haunted places with the Dark Side of Seoul Tour, and others went to Lotte World for the Horror Festival. The rest went out drinking and joined the Seoul Halloween Pub crawl. The quartet opted for the party as it was easier to travel to and if they ever got tired earlier on then they could just go home earlier without all the hassle. That is, if a particular someone didn't get too clingy tonight, and then they would have to stay longer than anticipated.

"So, what do you guys wanna do?" Yunjin asked, dressed as a vampiric queen to match Yeonjun for a couple costume.

"Wanna play beer pong?" Seona suggested, dressed as the Evil Queen from Snow White to also match with Kyungjun for a couple costume.

"Oh, Hayoun, be my partner." Woojoo excitedly exclaimed, dressed as a zombie bride.

She latched onto Kierra's arm as the latter was dressed as the Pokemon, Umbreon.

"Then Minseo is my partner!" Sujin declared, dressed as a good witch.

She, too, latched onto Serena with the latter dressed as the Pokemon, Espeon.

"Tonight's gonna be a fun night." Hyeyoung responded with a laugh, dressed as the water fairy from Tinkerbell.

Jiwoo nodded in agreement while looking at the others, dressed as Harley Quinn.

"Most definitely a night to remember."

As for the other two, Melanie was dressed as the Sanrio character, Kuromi, while Linna was dressed as her friendly rival, My Melody.

"Alright, let's go!" The cousins cheered as the group of friends made their way to the backyard.

"I finally caught you, my Espeon."

Serena felt Heeseung's arms encircled her shoulders from behind once she got done with a phone call from Victor about some in-game prizes later on his side of the time zone if she could help him retrieve. The pair were outside of the front house as she wanted privacy when taking the call. Serena chuckled, softly patting his arms as he nuzzled his face against the side of her head. Luckily, Serena still had her hood up and all she could really feel was the motion and not Heeseung's actual body. However, she didn't miss how he had addressed her earlier, so she was careful to not do the same just in case. Serena remembered only that one time Heeseung had done that and that was on the day of her birthday.

"Did you have a little too much to drink tonight, Slytherin Lee?"

"No."

Serena knew that was a lie as he giggled cutely, now swaying them from side to side slowly. Heeseung was dressed as someone from the Slytherin House of the Harry Potter series and so were the other three. Jay was also a Slytherin while Sunghoon was from the House of Gryffindor whereas Jake represented the Hufflepuff House. Serena allowed Heeseung do as he pleased since she found him annoyingly cute at the moment and it didn't hurt to witness this side of him in person either.

"I'm just a little peeved that you hung out with everyone else, but me." He mumbled as Serena's brows furrowed.

"No, I haven't."

She made a face.

"I've been stuck at the tables playing game after game of Beer Pong with whoever wants to play."

"Exactly."

Serena could hear the pouting tone within his voice, but continued speaking.

"Well, it's not my fault that you and Beomgyu never made it to my and Hayoun's table."

Halfway through the third game, both Sujin and Woojoo didn't want to play anymore despite on a winning streak. They were getting bored and they wanted to do other activities, leaving Kierra and Serena to play together instead as the two didn't mind and was crushing all their opponents for who knows how long.

"That's not the point." He whined cutely.

Heeseung nuzzled against Serena once more as his arms slightly tightened themselves around her shoulders, continuing to slowly sway the both of them underneath the starry night. Serena knew what he meant, but she didn't want him to know that. So, she patted his arms in comfort, not replying. Eventually, Heeseung re-positioned the two of them so that Serena faced him. Even in the dimmed lighting of the lights from the house and from the many stars, Serena could make out how flushed Heeseung appeared to be and it wasn't going away any time either. She giggled at how insanely cute she found him at the moment as he smiled tenderly.

"Heeseung, you're so r-"

But Serena never got to voice out her thoughts as Heeseung's lips brushed against hers ever so softly. Heeseung broke the kiss a few seconds later, leaning his head against hers. Serena let the silence settled between them, but only for a few seconds as she spoke while shooting him a slight glare.

"You need to stop stealing kisses, Lee Heeseung."

Heeseung chuckled as he gave her a pointed look.

"Well, I wouldn't have to keep stealing kisses if you just gave them to me, Park Minseo."

Serena scoffed, giving Heeseung an annoyed look.

"Whatever. Let's just get back to the party."

She tried to removed herself from his hold, but he wouldn't let go.

"Heeseung."

"Minseo." He mimicked as she slightly punched his chest, causing him to just laugh at her reaction.

"Okay, okay. We can go back inside, but..."

"But what?"

She eyed him, believing him to ask for a kiss or two in return.

"You have to be my partner."

She scowled, contemplating on the idea.

"Then I would have to drink for the both of us."

"Don't worry, I won't let you."

"Fine, but if gets too much, then you're cut off. Understand?"

"Yes."

Serena gave in, but knew that she wouldn't feel right if he got even more flushed than he is right now. She'll just have to make sure he doesn't drink again tonight.

"What are you doing here and alone?"

Kierra glanced up from her sitting position against the way while playing on her phone. Jay stared down at her before sitting opposite her.

"Are you not feeling well?" Jay asked a second later.

"No. I'm fine. I just got done using the toilet a moment ago and then just felt like sitting here and not returning back to the party." Kierra responded with a soft laugh as her arm reached out to pat him on the shin.

"Sorry for making you worry, Jay."

A look of relief washed over Jay's face upon hearing her responses. Kierra took in Jay's outfit, not noticing at all tonight as a soft smile graced her face.

"You really do look good in green even if it's only in accents."

"Thank you, Hayoun."

His eyes gave her outfit a once over.

"I could say the same about you even if the yellow are accents."

Kierra chuckled, looking at her outfit of Umbreon's yellow rings before glancing back up at Jay.

"I guess I do."

"You make a very cute Umbreon, Hayoun."

"And you're definitely handsome than Malfoy as a Slytherin, Jay."

Then she eyed her, seeing that he's undone a few buttons.

"Did you drink a little more than you should have?" She questioned as Jay shook his head.

"No. I don't think so. Why?"

"Your shirt."

She pointed at his chest as he looked down, confused and then a laugh sounded before looking back up at her.

"I don't know how that happened, but I'll button it back up for you."

Jay was about to do so, but Kierra shook her head.

"No, Jay, you're fine. It gives it a certain vibe to your overall character now."

A sudden thought occured to Kierra as she suddenly had a craving for something sweet and delicious.

"Do you wanna go somewhere?"

Jay cocked a brow, puzzled at first before a playful loo graced his features.

"Is that what you wanna do in our relationship already?"

At first Kierra didn't get it, but she grew flustered and punched the the side of his lower leg.

"What? No. Not like that."
