MINSEOK'S POV

I wipe my big sharp knife (not my fake one from my Chucky costume) and set up my tools on the kitchen island to carve the pumpkin Jimin brought for me. Jungkook (dressed as the Grim Reaper) and Jimin (dressed as Charlie Chaplin) are resting their elbows on the kitchen's island, their butt on the stools, watching me.

"Are you gonna make a scary face or funny," Jungkook asks

I hum while thinking about it, "It's a surprise"

I stab the pumpkin and cut a hole on top of the pumpkin.

"Hey, Jimin. Come bob for apples with me?" I look up and see Yoongi (dressed as Naruto) standing behind Jimin and Jungkook.

Jimin thinks about it then shakes his head, "Nah, I wanna spend my time with Minseok"

I look at Yoongi. He looks disappointed and nods then looks at me... glaring at me? What did I do? I shake it off and begin to take out the pumpkin's "guts"

Kris enters the kitchen with a guy... WHO IS NOT BAEKHYUN. They make their way to drink station and I check out the guy Kris is with. Tall. Blonde. Skinny. Tired eyes but still good looking.

I get interrupted when Jimin fakes a cough. I guess he notice I was checking the guy out so I look down at the pumpkin to busy myself.

"Hey, Min," I see from the corner of my eye that Kris is walking up to me with the guy. Kris continues, "Carving a pumpkin I see"

I slightly smile, "Yup... I'm pretty good at it"

"Liar. He's amazing- Do my face!" Jungkook yells and Jimin laughs

I look at them then at Kris and finally his little friend, "Who's your friend?"

Kris smiles at the guy then at me, "This is Tao. He just moved here from China. He's Luhan's cousin. We're just hanging out since he's staring at SM High this Monday. Thought he should have one friend who is not his cousin"

"How kind of you," I mutter then look at Tao

"Hi," Tao waves

"Hey," I say then focus on the pumpkin again

"Well we'll leave you with your childish activities," Kris says. Once again, I can see him from the corner of my eye. HE PUT HIS ARM AROUND THAT TAO GUY!

I watch them leave. What an asshole

MINHO'S POV

I accompany Sehun to Luhan's house that's across the street. He's taking Luhan home since he's not feeling well.

"Hey, is Luhan okay?" Yixing asks. He's sitting on the front porch bench with Junmyeon.

I nod at him

"What happened?" Yixing asks

"Luhan go hit in the face with a soccer ball"

"Ow," Junmyeon mutters

"Maybe we should go to the store to get him a snack?" Yixing asks Junmyeon

Junmyeon nods and smiles

"Okay, I parked across at Luhan's so I'll meet you there," Yixing gives Junmyeon his keys

Junmyeon says bye to me and Yixing comes up to me, "I know what you're thinking-"
