SHE LOVES HALLOWEEN. though, fair, there isnât a single holiday out there that friday doesnât love. maybe chuseok a little lessâseeing as itâs more often a weekend of uncomfortable dinners from mom and dadâs side. but halloween? halloween is lovely. positively fun. one night in a whole year where you can pretend to be someone youâre not? seems perfect.Â
but if sheâs honest, this yearâs costume isâless than inspired.Â
itâs her fault, evidently. sheâs never been particularly good at time management when in a crunch. when a project so much as holds her attention span hostage from anything else. this month, it was whittling the perfect wand base. or, at least, deciding which it was that she wanted. which, sixteen designs and splintered and cut fingers later, friday is proud to say that she still hasnât decided.
                                                             amazing.Â
so when night of the mausoleum rolled by and her original idea was less than ready (where did her shruken head roll off to?), she had to resort to, well, bullshitting. which was fine, she supposes. sheâs gotten enough compliments and the purple splotches across her face was both creative and cute enough for the night. could it have been better? yes. is she a teeny tiny bit disappointed? yes.Â
                  but thereâs no use crying over spilt milk is there?
well, it didnât matter anyway. within the first hour sheâs already managed to down herself a couple of drinks and worked a pleasant buzz out of it before hopping from friend group to friend group. and now, fresh out of the dreadful (fun, but, so bad for her heart) haunted house, she and seojun stands in complete silence while in queue for the carriages. perhaps just, at this point, processing what just went down in the haunted house.
âso,â friday sniffles, hand lifting to pat her cheeks dry from any tears shed earlier. âyou were totally scared, werenât you? i saw you.â well, sort of. still, it doesnât mean she canât work up a semi-joking, semi-accusatory tone just to mess with him.
                         âyou yipped. youâre a yipper!âÂ
