AMBW IMAGINES

Spooky Traditions

{ Hoseok}

i took a deep breathe before i rung the doorbell. i stood underneath the porch light waiting for someone to come to the door. it was a chilly and windy saturday night. halloween, was tonight and soon enough little kids would swarm the streets with their parents. my girlfriend yn invited me over to her place to watch movies and play board games. it's no secret that i'm not a big fan of being scared. heck who enjoys getting their blood pressure raised for the entertainment of others.

yn was from another planet. she loved horror movies and halloween was her favorite holiday. she's told me all about the tradition her and her big sister have when it comes to halloween. dress up in costumes, watch movies, decorate snacks, and pass out candy. this was the first time i was invited into this family tradition. and i wasn't going to let my fears ruin my first impression with yn's sister.

the smile of yn's face was behind the door.

"hobi's here" she shouted behind her and stepped aside to let me in. stepping into her house i saw the family pictures across the wall. they all looked alike, the genes must be strong in this family. yn looked like her older sister. dark complexion, almond eyes, and round cheeks. while her sister looked even more like their mother. their father didn't look like any of the girls. he had a light complexion and had a very slim face. yet nonetheless they were still a pretty family.

"you have to say hello to everyone."

yn escorted me through her house, her mother and father in the kitchen talking amongst themselves.

"mom, dad this is hoseok. the guy i've been talking about."

"uh hello mr. and mrs. grant."

yn's mother waved and her father held my gaze. he was seizing me up and when he finished he nodded at me. not knowing what to do i just smiled uncomfortably. before the awkwardness could sink in my shoulders yn took me from the kitchen. only briefly could i look around their home. it was a regular two-story house. yet the decoration and brown color scheme of the walls just made the home seem, homey. it was like on each wall there was some picture of yn or her sister. or some other family member i didn't recognize.

upstairs yn's sister sat on the floor in front of the large tv. she was dressed up in black latex jumpsuit. maybe she was a cat this year? i mean being a cat is pretty basic but still.

"you must be hoseok."

"that i am." yn hooked her arms through mine. then we sat on the couch opposite from where her sister was sitting on the floor.

"i hope you don't scare easily."

her words caused my skin to get hot. i was holding onto the slightest possibility that maybe they wouldn't watch a horror movie. sadly i seemed to be wrong.

"y-yeah i don't scare easily."

"good, cause we are going to watch the exorcist." i swallowed heavily. great, just want i wanted to do. scare myself shitless in front of my girlfriend and her family.

unhooking herself from my arm yn stood up in front of me. i was confused why she was just standing in front of me.

"what's up?"

"look at me."

"i am" i skimmed her body. her costume was bright colors. a bright neon green and yellow shirt. white shirt and the uglies pair of pants i have ever seen. they were so baggy and looked like they have been through a war.

"guess what i am?"

"i have no clue, but i can definitely say it's not cute."

yn scoffed and playfully tapped my shoulder. "all of my outfits are cute."
