a boo bash thread for @bexstevie​​ ✨ current location: the haunted house

     she’s so glad that she had somehow managed to convince stevie to come into the haunted house with her. their friendship would probably be one that most people would call unlikely but she, herself, doesn’t really mind. the whole running into each other multiple times until you take the bait and become friends thing feels like a movie trope waiting to happen, but she’s just glad she’s gotten a friend out of it, no matter how weird it was. 

     also maybe she’s just happy to have someone around to speak english with that isn’t her brother.

     “are you scared?” saea asks, a mischievous tone in her voice, watching her friend as he reacts to some of the less scary things. one of the workers had jumped out at them when they first entered, causing them both to scream but the fact that he seemed to be more easily scared than her made her less scared.

     and thus, her plan is born. she has to scare him now, somehow.

     she doesn’t say anything as they continue to make their way through the haunted house though, standing close, their paths lit by the two little flashlights they had been given at the beginning. “are we almost at the end, do you think? i feel like we’ve been in here forever ...” she whispers, the spooky music just loud enough to maybe drown out her words.

Yeah, he was looking forward too it. On the dressing up front, it wasn’t something he was overly excited about. In fact, the idea he had was quick and pretty lame in his eyes. He did have an idea to go as Robin Hood but the costume wasn’t ‘him’. Still, the idea of being an archer seemed pretty good idea, fun at least, even if he didn’t have a cool idea to base it on.

All of that flew out of his mind once he finally found Stevie in the crowd, right where they promised to meet. “Hey!” The word came out In English and he wrapped his friend in a half-hug. His eyes on the others that were currently finishing up this round of apple bobbing. “Can you guess what my costume is?” Would the other even get a hint of robin hood, Gikwang doubted it. “I’m ready for my turn, I’ve been practicing my apple grabbing skills, trust me, though I wonder, does someone catch a head cold if they keep dunking their head in water for a game?”

* ♪ – bite me

joomi likes halloween, but he wouldn't really participate in any of this without the influence of outside forces. for example: his band having the idea to all dress up as vampires for the show they managed to book boo bash weekend, and his other friends dragging him this way and that to take part in all the festivities. joomi doesn't mind it. it's been fun, really, so if anything he's glad.

it's pretty late now, though, and people are starting to go home, but one of joomi's friends insisted he go through the haunted house with her even though he's already been, but joomi is a good sport and thinks the haunted house is cool anyway, so he doesn't mind this, either. just a little ways in, however, his friend saw another one of her friends, and decided to run off with her instead, effectively leaving joomi alone.

of course, he's fine with this too, because if joomi is good at anything, it's being by himself. there's something fun in meandering through the different makeshift rooms, too, admiring the handiwork of those in charge of the whole ordeal and thinking about ways he would improve it himself. it's probably weird to run into a jumpscare and think how did they do that? instead of what the hell that scared the shit out of me, but joomi accepted a long time ago that he is simply a little odd.

he comes to the verdict that overall, it's a pretty good haunted house, and he's looking up at the ceiling, trying to figure out what it's made of when he runs into someone. he reaches his hands out instantly to steady both of them, and says, "shit, sorry," on instinct. it's only after all that, and a little further examination in the dim lighting of the haunted house that he realizes it's moon jinyoung. of course it is. this is by far the most terrifying thing he's witnessed all night. of course he'd run into this stupid idiot that might be haunting him just a little during a halloween celebration.

"you have gotta be fucking kidding me," he mutters before he can stop himself, but he probably wouldn't even if he could. he's sure jinyoung shares the sentiment. it's then that he realizes he still has a hand on each of his arms, and he quickly lets go. great. joomi has already given jinyoung something to be pissed off at him for, like he even needed to give him another reason. he's sure jinyoung could pull any reason to hate him that he wanted to out of his ass.

what will it be this time? watch where you're going, are you stalking me, leave me the fuck alone, etcetera, etcetera. oh god. he realizes something else. jinyoung is also dressed as a vampire, isn't he? great. great! he is not beating the stalking allegations. not at this rate.

"nice costume. very original," he says anyway, even though he knows it won't go over well. it's really a dig at himself too; he's also a vampire, after all.

was it a stupid idea for the two girls to go through the haunted house, knowing they aren’t good at digesting such jumpscares? maybe. maybe not, who really knows.

but, eunji has no regrets as they walk through the dark rooms, arms linked with one another as their feets dragged across the floors. “we have to walk fast so we’re not easy targets for the actors.” she stated, her tone full of humor as they already got spooked a few seconds ago from the previous room. her head turned to examine their surroundings, eyes squinting to adjust to the darkness that consumed them. there was nothing more fun than running around and screaming at the top of their lungs whenever someone jumped out.

“if we keep walking so slow, we’ll never get out of here.” even though her legs felt weak from all the surprises, her heart beating with anticipation. it almost felt like she had to be strong for the other young woman, she wasn’t as scared but that didn’t stop her from jolting and laughing the embarrassment away. “and we can’t run, because i know my dumb self will run into a wall.”

ITAEWON, SEOUL — { OCT. ‘22 } Jun and SHIN YUJI brave the haunted house …

"I’m not scared.” It’s unclear whether he’s trying to convince himself, or Yuji. He’d strode right into the haunted house ahead of her, intending to waltz right through the whole thing without even flinching, but about five seconds after walking through the doors he’d retreated to Yuji’s side, hand clutching hers without even thinking. “I just don’t want to lose you.” He explains away the hand holding, having initially apologised, but not let go. “It’s dark in here.” He weakly adds onto the end, as though his explanation isn’t embarrassingly feeble and transparent. 

He swallows thickly, hoping his hand isn’t as clammy as it suddenly feels, and takes a deep breath, slowly heading deeper into the haunted house, eyes peeled for anyone, or anything, that might jump out at them. “See, it’s not so bad!” He says after a moment of nothing particularly scary happening, only for a plastic skeleton covered in cobwebs to fall out of a coffin propped against a wall, clattering to the ground at his feet and making him jump about a foot in the air, an embarrassing yell escaping him. “I’m fine! I’m not scared!” He repeats, though his hold on Yuji’s hand tightens. 

Despite the fact Jun can feel himself shivering slightly, he realises the adrenaline rush of it all is really the draw of places like this. Yes, he’s horribly embarrassed at his jumpiness, but he can’t help but laugh a little after squawking like a distressed bird. “What happens in the haunted house, stays in the haunted house, okay?” He says, giving Yuji a pleading look, as if silently asking her not to ruin his tough-guy reputation when they get out of here.

ITAEWON, SEOUL — [ OCT. ‘22 ] Saem and OLIVER KWON survive a zombie dance-pocolypse …

It’s not everyday you witness a bump of zombies dancing in the middle of the street, so, of course, Saem stopped to watch. He couldn’t see himself ever doing anything like that, but he’d heard whispers that they were entertainment company trainees, and for a split second he’s glad he’d ended up on the miserable life-track, rather than the one he’d hoped so hard for during his teen years. Then again, perhaps dancing as the undead would still be better than spending every day with the actual dead. It sure would spice up his work day, though, if all the people in the morgue suddenly got up and started dancing. 

The night had, so far, been a pleasant one, despite having not seen anyone he knew for a while. He didn’t mind being on his own, really, there was plenty to see and do. He’d already grabbed some vibrant orange glowing cocktail from one of the bars, and tried a few of the snacks being sold at stalls along the street, but as the night was winding down, he knew there was still something missing. 

He’s watching a particularly good zombie with surprisingly shiny hair (for someone who’s dead), when his eyes fall on someone across the circle of people surrounding the dancers, and his insides do an excited little flip. There stands a disarmingly handsome Woody. Without hesitating, Saem slips through the crowd to circle around to where the Woody’s stood, slipping up alongside him nonchalantly. “Bet they can’t do line dancing, though.” He says, leaning towards the Woody just enough that he’s sure to hear him.

Countdown

This was more than he expected for Halloween, but it was nice that each company had come up with events of their own, bringing more flavour to their lives, respectively. And in theory, a haunted house sounds fun. Yea, in theory. As bold as he’d like to pretend he is, Danny hates jump scares and horror movies. And this sounds like a combination of things he hates, and worse if he’s caught on camera. Hopefully they don’t do that and post their faces in the hall of shame later upon their exit. And the fact that he’s already nervous is the most embarrassing part but he acts as if he isn’t.

The dressing up bit was already hard enough, as it spans over a few days, this means that Danny has to come up with more than reusing one costume. Thank goodness the dance crew already came up with one costume but today he’s on his own and he had to come up with something on the go, and it definitely looks as if he put in zero effort. He’s dressed up as an extra from Squid Game, in a track suit. Yep. Not even one of the mains. But at least it’s comfortable!

Clearing his throat as he stares the beast upon its eye. The door stares back at him blankly, saying nothing. Craning his neck, he sees @bexhoon beside him, and sighs heavily before moving nudging his elbow. “We go in on three?” He keeps his eyes neutral, as he nods towards the haunted house.

✦ * ·  ˚ @benaeun

the major chaerin chose meant spending nights at the school studio in hopes of finishing up her works. this also means that she was no stranger to late night snacks, or in her case, late dinners. while convenience store food was usually her go-to, there were times when she wanted something heartier. something that would help keep her up for a couple more hours without being distracted. 

that’s how she ended up meeting naeun. a sweet, lovely girl who happened to always be delivering her food. something about her reminded chaerin of her own little sister, and it wasn’t long before she found herself reaching out to her outside of her delivery hours. 

originally, chaerin had no thoughts of attending the halloween party held in hongdae. it wasn’t until her friends decided to drag her out that she had to come up with a lazy excuse of a costume. nevertheless, if she had to attend, she wouldn’t be attending alone. she already knew her friends would be abandoning her once they got there to have fun on their own which is why she invited naeun out herself. she’ll probably be better company anyway.

“wow, it sure is crowded,” she comments before moving aside once more to avoid crashing into someone for the fifth time that night. “i didn’t think halloween was this big of a deal.”

[beyuji]

a starter for @bedaeun !!    ( it was a graveyard smash ; )

while yuji has a lot to complain about at lime, the boo bash pop-up concerts are something she looks forward to. a performance is general is something she’s been craving; she misses the stage, and she’s very restless over it. her whole form is thrumming with energy when they practice; but...it’s a little bit overwhelming-- learning all these dances at once; vocals are easy-- that yuji can handle. the dancing is proving to be far more difficult, but she’ll manage. it’s a performance, after all; and yuji has to look decent enough for it. she has to.

collapsing down next to daeun, yuji catches her breath-- staring up at the ceiling tiredly. “not to be dramatic,” she is going to be, she knew that the moment she decided to lay down. “but i’m dying. i’m never going to want to listen to any of these songs after halloween.” she’s going to remember continuous training; every time lovey-dovey comes on she’s going to flash back to this moment and grimace. propping herself on an elbow, she twists to look at daeun, letting out a sigh. “at least we’re getting to perform.” she muses, smile twitching up at the corner of her mouth. that’s something to be thrilled about. at least yuji is. she’s going stir crazy already. “you’re gonna have to help me keep up with all this makeup, though. if i start looking worse for wear, you have to help me out.”

[  🥀  ]  𝖈𝖍𝖔 𝖏𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖆𝖊 as 𝖕𝖊𝖓𝖓𝖞𝖜𝖎𝖘𝖊 !

being that his birthday is the day before all hallow’s eve, jindallae’s always had an affinity for the spooky holiday; taking advantage of the popularity that the end of october has grown in south korea, as he’s gotten older, he’d have costume parties on his birthday, or he’d be out and about raising a little hell with his pals around the city dressed as goblins, ghouls, and a host of other terrifying creatures. that, and his sense of humor emerges more around this time of year, as well, and his costumes — while often simple — typically balance scary, sexy, and silly; what he stupidly calls the “ triple s ” system. this year, he’s opted for a slightly sensual take on pennywise the dancing clown from stephen king’s “ it. ” the style he selected resembles the new iteration of the character ( from the 2017 film starring bill skarsgård ), but it isn’t identical to the costuming in the movie.

he’s got a lightened version of the makeup painted on his face; his hair is styled attractively and simply sprayed red; the pants and shoes are largely the same, as is the ruffled collar and ruffled cufflinks around his wrists, but he’s completely topless; his bare chest, abdominals, arms, hands, and back sporting white paint to match his pale visage. sure, he may be cold depending on the weather, but he hopes that he’ll be able to find a beautiful someone to help keep him warm.

HONGDAE’S HALLOWEEN BOO BASH IS BACK!

for one weekend only, the neighborhood known for the best culture and entertainment will be lit up with jack o’lanterns, ghosts, and blacklights for the biggest halloween party in seoul. join in on the spooky fun with activities for everyone to enjoy! the event runs the weekend before halloween, beginning on friday night, october 28th, and ending with a bang on sunday, october 30th.

boos and ghouls of all ages are invited to dress up, head down to hongdae, and enjoy the halloween festivities. participating clubs and businesses are offering boo bash specials, from holiday-themed drinks and foods, to scary good discounts, to monster makeup services for those who didn’t have time for a costume before coming.

while the clubs and local businesses are tons of fun, the organizers of this year’s boo bash have some extra special tricks and treats in store! stop by the haunted house for a good scream, participate in the murder mystery games going on throughout the night, or enjoy buskers and the pop-up concerts themed around the holiday all throughout the district!

the party doesn’t stop all weekend long, though more family-friendly activities go on during the late mornings and afternoons with adult-only festivities like the nightclubs ramping up after 8pm. while there’s still sunlight, enjoy pumpkin carving (or painting), magician and illusionist shows, and apple-bobbing. the music is cranked up after dark with the clubs opening their doors for anyone of age to stop by and enjoy their spooky setlists.

on saturday night, all boo bashers are invited to participate in the annual costume contest. sign-ups will be taken until 4:30pm on saturday evening, with the children’s contest taking place at 7:00pm and the adult contest at midnight. entrants only need to show up, strike a pose for the audience and judges, and stick around to see who wins best in show, though it’ll be difficult to beat out last year’s winner: a very tall, very muscular and masculine sailor moon. rumors are that he’s back again this year, this time with friends!

sunday night is the finale to the event with a fireworks show in a park just a short walk from the neighborhood. the first light goes up at 9:30pm and after a 30-minute show and the final cheers die down, all of those haunted spirits are laid to rest until next year. happy halloween!

{ SEO JUNHO as BUZZ LIGHTYEAR }

Jun doesn’t just like Halloween because it’s on his birthday, though that is a big reason—he likes Halloween because he loves festivities of any kind. He likes dressing up, eating special food reserved for Halloween only (or Fall at a stretch) like pumpkin things, or cookies shaped like bats, or those tiny little balls of chocolate wrapped in foil that makes them look like Jack-O-Lanterns. He’s got the same fondness for Christmas too, when the ugly sweaters come out, and the Christmas music plays in stores (though there’s a lot less of that in Seoul, sadly—another thing he misses about America). 

This Halloween he’d decided to match with Ollie, dressing as Hollywood’s most iconic dynamic duo, Buzz and Woody. Of course, since Ollie had scrappy cowboy energy about him, he’d automatically been labelled the Woody of the two of them, which left Jun with the recently-discovered-to-be-hot space ranger. At first, he’d though he’d go for the ‘sexy’ version, which was just a tiny pair of white, shiny shorts and a little crop top made to look like the chest-plate of Buzz’s suit. But, he’d continued to scour the internet for a suitably not-awful spacesuit, and finally found one that he’d not have too many issues moving around in. It didn’t come cheap, but then that’s what his father’s money’s for, right?

[ HAN SAEM as VIKTOR NIKIFOROV ]

Saem hadn’t planned to dress up—in fact he’d not been planning to go to the Boo Bash at all. But, when a pretty boy asks you to do something, you don’t refuse. So, he finds himself kitted out in form fitting black pants, a shirt, and a military-esque white and pink jacket. Despite knowing they’d be an absolute pain to walk around in, he’d also bought a pair of ice skates and blade guards, spending an evening walking around in them at home to make sure he wasn’t going to break an ankle. Surprisingly, his good balance had come in handy, and he’d found it far easier than expected to walk in the skates, if a little awkward. 

The one aspect of the look that terrifies him, however, is the hair. Somehow, he’d let himself get talked into bleaching it. He’d never in his life dyed his hair, let alone bleached it to the completely opposite end of the hair colour spectrum. But, again, anything to please a pretty boy. He knows he can always dye it black again (which he’s sure he’ll end up doing sooner rather than later. So, the weekend of the Boo Bash arrives, and Saem, with his newly platinum blonde hair, and his figure skater outfit, sets out for a weekend of fun.
