hueningkai: "Close your eyes."
soobin: "Okay."
hueningkai: "Are they closed?"
soobin: "Yes."
hueningkai: "Alright. This is a costume lottery. Whatever your eyes land on first will be your costume."
y/n: "Is this a good idea?"
hueningkai: "It'll be fine. Okay, 1, 2, 3... open."
soobin: "....I landed on a Bugs Bunny costume."
hueningkai: "Hm.... okay, let's try again."
y/n: "I'm going to look through some other aisles. I'll be back."
hueningkai: "Sure."

store associate: "Hello."
y/n: "Hi."
store associate: "Can I help you look for something in particular?"
y/n: "I'm looking for a Halloween costume. Anything will do, really."
store associate: "But Halloween is a special holiday. Equally as important as Christmas and New Year's."
y/n: "Um... well, when you put it that way..."
store associate: "Let me help you choose a great costume."
y/n: "I'm kind of in a time crunch."
store associate: "That's alright. I'll help you quickly. Can you do a spin?"
y/n: "Pardon?"
store associate: "A little twirl so that I can assess your current look and see what type of costume would fit you best."
y/n: "Um... okay..." (twirls)
store associate: "Two options. We can either do..." (searches through rack) "...this one."
y/n: "Oh."
store associate: "Or... this one."
y/n: "Oh."
store associate: "Now, the choice is up to you, of course. But may I recommend option number two?"
y/n: "I was leaning towards that one a lot more too, actually..."
store associate: (smiles) "The dressing rooms are that way. Let me know if you need any assistance in finding other costumes."
y/n: "Thank you so much."
(goes to dressing room)
hueningkai: "This could be the one!"
soobin: "Iron Man?"
hueningkai: "Yes."
soobin: "Could I really be Iron Man?"
hueningkai: "Hey, behind the mask, you could be anybody you want to be."
soobin: "Anyone I want to be, huh? How much is this thing again?"
hueningkai: "It's less than twenty bucks. Now, go try it on!"
soobin: "Okay."
(walks to dressing room)
y/n: "Ugh... I can't get this thing to zip..."
soobin: (chuckles) "Iron Man... he's crazy..."
y/n: "Kai? Is that you?"
soobin: "[y/n]?"
y/n: "Oh, thank god." (opens curtain) "Can you help me... agh!"
soobin: "Agh!"
y/n: "Oh my god... I-I'm sorry, I thought you were--"
soobin: "No, I'm sorry, I-I should have walked... slower..."
(long silence)
y/n: "W-where's Kai?"
soobin: "Um... he's still looking for his own costume." (clears throat) "That, uh... I mean, it looks good. Your costume."
y/n: "You think so?"
soobin: "Yeah. Weren't we just watching A Cinderella Story?"
y/n: (nervously laughs) "Exactly. Now I just need a mask, right?"
soobin: "Right. Did you... I mean..." (coughs) "Did you need help zipping that up or...?"
y/n: "No!" (clears throat) "No, that's okay. I can do it myself."
soobin: "But you were calling for Kai?"
y/n: "Um, yeah. He's helped me zip up my dresses before."
soobin: "Oh."
y/n: "I mean, it's nothing weird for us."
soobin: "Right."
y/n: "Okay. Well, uh, I'm gonna try to zip this up now, so..."
soobin: "Right. Right, I'm gonna just..."
y/n: "Yeah."
soobin: "Cool."
