“Come on Hoseok, it’ll be fun!” You pleaded, grabbing onto your boyfriend’s arm. “Are you kidding? We’re so old, it’ll be so embarrassing!” Hoseok replied. You were trying to get Hoseok to go trick or treating with you. You knew you were way too old for it, but it was free candy, how could you pass on the once a year opportunity? “Besides, Namjoon is hosting a Halloween party tonight, remember?” He stated. “Oh yeah,” you said in a dull voice as you let go of his arm to let him enter the kitchen on his own. “We don’t have to dress up do we?" Hoseok laughed as he stuffed his mouth with some potato chips before turning back to you. "So you wanna go trick or treating… but you don’t wanna dress up?" "Ugh,” you rolled your eyes. “I just want some chocolate. And some candy. And maybe even some chips–” Your list was interrupted when Hoseok stuffed some chips into your mouth. “There you go. Chips!” Hoseok smiled. You narrowed your eyelids as you started to chew, causing him to chuckle. Ding It was your phone. You took it out of your pocket and read the notification. Suddenly you froze and your eyes opened wide. Hoseok knew something was wrong by the look on your face– and when you stopped mid-chew. “(Y/N), what is it?” He asked, sounding concerned. “Is everything alright?" "I… I have an exam tomorrow,” you said without any emotion as you starred off into space. Hoseok starred at you looking more confused than ever. You held your phone to his face so he can read what was on your phone. “Psychology midterm tomorrow! Make sure to study!” Hoseok read out loud. He took a minute to re-read the sentence, trying to understand it. “Okay…” he said, backing away from the phone. “What’s the problem? Are you not ready or something? I saw you studying–” You quickly snapped out of your shocked state and frowned. “Ugh no, Hoseok! I thought it was next Wednesday, not this Wednesday– AKA tomorrow!”
Hoseok still looked a little confused and you just dropped to the ground with your hands running through your hair.
“I’m not ready. I only have chapter one memorized… I can’t read half of the textbook in one night–”
“Uh, okay calm down (Y/N),” Hoseok said as he helped you up and lead your distraught self to the bedroom. “Just go start studying now, you have to at least try." "I can’t fail Hoseok! My GPA is already so bad. I need to ace this exam!” You whined as Hoseok sat you down in your computer chair. “Okay then you’re just gonna have to pull an all-nighter,” Hoseok helped you get out your notes from your bag as he tried to encourage you. “I’ll help you write out your notes and–” “No, thank you though. I won’t be able to focus with you here. Just go to the party–” you said.
“What?– but it won’t be fun if you’re not there, YN.” He whined. You looked up at Hoseok with an unamused face. “Yeah, I’ll just go help Namjoon set up early,” Hoseok said, backing up before leaving the room to go grab his things. Before leaving, he came by the room once more. “Alright, I’ll see you later love. When I get back I’ll quiz you. Hoseok kissed the top of your head, "Good luck. Make sure to take a few breaks and don’t forget to eat!” A couple of hours later, you were still in your room studying. You only studied about a third of what you were supposed to. You were tired, stressed out, and definitely sad about missing out on Halloween. But it didn’t matter, nonetheless, you had to ace your midterm and you were determined to do so.
It was now 11 pm and you were completely drained. You weren’t finished studying, but you needed a short break. You headed to the kitchen to make yourself a cup of coffee. You waited for the coffee to brew and watched the steam as it floated up. You were so focused, almost in a trance as you watched the steam, that you didn’t notice the strange sounds coming from the front door. It sounded like someone was trying to open the door. Since it was only 11 pm, you knew it couldn’t be Hoseok. It was still pretty early for him to be home from a party. It couldn’t be trick or treaters either because your apartment didn’t allow trick or treating in the first place.
You were about to go look through your peephole. to see who it was but then you saw the doorknob turning completely. Whoever it was, they were trying to get in.
You ducked behind your counter. You weren’t all that worried because Hoseok was the only other person to have the key to the apartment. Whoever it was couldn’t get in. However, when you heard the door creak open, that’s when you knew you were in trouble. You quickly covered your mouth with shock and so the intruder wouldn’t hear your panicked breathing. You ducked further underneath the counter and made yourself into a ball to be small.
You heard a few footsteps walking around the living room and then to your bedroom. Tears suddenly fell down your face and you felt your heartbeat getting faster and faster. Suddenly, the footsteps stopped for a moment and you held your breath. You hoped that the intruder gave up, that maybe he thought that there was nothing to rob and he’ll just leave. But you were wrong.
You heard the footsteps getting closer and closer. The intruder sounded like they were looking for something specific–no, someone. You began to cry more but you had to keep quiet. You covered your mouth and tried your best not to make a sound. In your mind, you begged for Hoseok to come home. You also cursed yourself for choosing such a stupid place to hide. Why didn’t you lock yourself in the closet or something? smh fool lol jk
The footsteps only got closer and eventually, it felt like the person was right behind you. You covered your eyes but kept a little space open between your fingers.
Out of nowhere, the intruder peaked from behind the counter to tapped your shoulder and you screamed. “LEAVE ME ALONE!” You shouted as loud as you could before quickly getting up to grab a wooden spoon from the counter. You held the spoon up to defend yourself and you cried as the person stepped toward you.
The figure was slender and tall. He wore all black and had on one of the same masks as those worn in the purge movies. You always thought those movies were stupid, but now you were living it. You were about to die. “Stop, please,” you cried. You didn’t know what to do so you just stood there and cried. The man didn’t move.
Suddenly, you heard a very muffled laugh. At first, you didn’t know where it was coming from, but then you quickly realised that it was from him. The laugh was loud and sounded very “hahaha” like. That’s when you accepted your fate. Out of nowhere, the figure fell to the floor, still laughing, while grabbing his tummy. His laugh stopped sounding so scary.
You wiped your tears and stared at him in confusion, still holding the wooden spoon in front of you.
“What the hell,” you asked with a sniffle, more confused than ever. You remained back and didn’t even think of going near the man. Although his laugh wasn’t evil sounding anymore, his new state scared you even more. Soon the man stopped laughing and sat up. He turned to you, possibly staring at you– you couldn’t tell because of the mask. He chuckled once more then grabbed the back of his mask to remove it. Hoseok’s face was revealed and he started laughing once again. You stared at him first with shock, and then with anger. You should have known it was your stupid boyfriend when you heard his loud ass laughter. “I hate you,” you said in a very monotone voice. You didn’t know what to think. “I hate you SO MUCH” you cried. You jumped towards Hoseok and started hitting him. Hoseok laughed and tried to protect himself from you, even though you weren’t punching hard. “I’m sorry,” he said in between his laughs, “I couldn’t help it!” Hoseok kept apologizing, and when you got tired of hitting him, you stopped. “Why would you do that? I actually thought someone was breaking in and I was going to die,” You shouted in his face in between some sniffles. “You’re so mean, I hate you SO much." Hoseok chuckled and pulled you into a tight hug. He kissed your cheeks as he apologized a few times more. "I’m sorry (Y/N), I didn’t mean to make you cry. I know you hate me, but do you think these will help you forgive me?” Hoseok lifted up a big bag from behind the counter and placed it in your lap. You looked at him, confused, before opening it. It was a bag full of candy. A whole big bag full of chocolate, candy, chips, even some granola bars and more. “What is this? How did you–" "I went trick or treating. It was pretty embarrassing. I got so many funny looks from parents and the kids would always hide their bags whenever I came near them. I don’t think the sound of ‘aren’t you too old to be trick or treating’ will ever leave my head.” Hoseok said in a very serious manner.
You laughed at his story as you imagined it. “But the party…" "I helped Namjoon set up a bit, but I left before the party started. I knew it wouldn’t be fun without you and I thought these would maybe help you feel better, since you know– you forgot about your midterm.” You chuckled with disbelief as you thought about how kind Hoseok was– aside from his stupid prank. You put the candy to the side and threw yourself on him to give him a kiss. “Thank you Hoseok, I love you so much!” You said as you hugged him tightly as he slouched back rolling his eyes. “Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can’t have any of the candy until after your midterm though, so save the 'I love you’s’ for after you get your A.”
You laughed and hugged Hoseok one more time. You knew it would be hard to get an A, but you had to at least try. Not for the candy, but because if Hoseok, a grown ass man, could go out trick or treating for you, then you could get him an A.
