The finishing touches were added to your elaborate Halloween makeup; some additional shading was applied to create the illusion of a deeper contour on your cheekbones and some extra touch-ups to any bone shapes were added. Your friend, Namjoon, was hosting a Halloween party that night. Your costume of choice? A skeleton. Simple, but an undeniable classic.
Your outfit was a simple skeleton bodysuit you purchased from a costume shop which was surprisingly figure flattering. Paired with it was a pair of comfy, black sneakers.
As a Halloween enthusiast, you were brimming with excitement about doing the makeup and going all out with your appearance, feeling rather proud of the final product.

You gave one final glance at your reflection, checking your hair and makeup once more before grabbing your bag and heading out the door.
This Halloween party was something you had been looking forward to since getting invited a month prior, especially since it gave you an excuse to dress up. Being an adult, you were considered too old to go trick-or-treating, therefore you didn't exactly have a reason to put on a costume, so the party invite was much needed.

Namjoon's place was packed with people, their shadows passing by the windows. You hesitantly stepped out of your car and headed to the front door, wishing you had stayed at home. Big crowds weren't exactly your cup of tea and you weren't expecting so many guests at this party.
Before you could back out or even change your mind, the door swung open.

"Y/n!" Namjoon greeted with a big grin.
"Hi."
"Wow! Your costume looks great."
"Thanks."
"Come in." He took hold of your wrist and pulled you inside. "We've got good food, Jin and Yoongi cooked most of it. There's desserts. punch, and games. We've even got soju if you'd prefer a little alcohol."
"Wow, you really went all out."
"I had to, it's Halloween." He grinned. "Come here, there's someone I want you to meet."
"Wait what?"
You weren't expecting to immediately be dragged into meeting new people.
"This is so funny." Namjoon chuckled while guiding you through the crowded room.
"What's funny?"
"You'll see."

Namjoon brought you to the corner of the living room where a guy stood with a cup in his hand dancing to the music playing throughout the space. The first thing you noticed was his costume. A skeleton.
Ah. That's what Namjoon thought was so funny.

"Hoseok!" Namjoon shouted.
The orange-haired guy looked around upon hearing his name being called, his face lighting up when he spotted the tall man beside you.
"I'd like you to meet someone. This is my friend Y/n. Y/n, this is my friend Hoseok."
"Hi." You greeted, suddenly nervous under his gaze.
"Hi." Hoseok grinned, making your heart melt.
He held his hand out to which you grabbed hold, shaking it in greeting.
"Okay, you two have fun." Namjoon said, walking off immediately after.
"Namjoon, wait."
"I've got hosting to do! Sorry!" He waved, flashing a bright, dimpled grin.
