You know the one. The one with the big houses and the full-sized candy bars. The type of neighborhood that Byu would've swarmed as a kid, trying to fill his bag several times over. Except.. he lived in it. And it'd been a while since he'd gone out trick-or-treating himself, now he just manned the table outside, several bowls of candy set up in front of him. It didn't mean he wasn't dressed for the occasion of course.

From head to toe he looked like he'd gone for the firefighter route, fairly accurate but still obviously a costume, complete with hat. Might've just been that if not for the black ears attached to the hat, the little spot of black on his nose (his skin didn't take to makeup well so that'd have to do) and the giant Paw Patrol badge slapped onto his chest. An odd choice for a 21 year old? Not at all as a tiny six year old came dashing up, dressed as a cop with ears and tail clipped to his outfit, crashing into Byu at full speed. "I get to work the big kid table this year with you, Byuuie!"

Byungwoo gave a laugh as he adjusted his brother's hat, "Seokie, are you sure you don't wanna go out with the other kids? You're not gonna get as much candy.." Seok looked up at him and shook his head, "Nope! I'm a big kid just like you now." He gave a soft laugh at his brother, "Alright well, make sure you get the other goodies for the good folk we have coming, okay?" There was a loud, "Chase is on the case!!" as Seok darted back into the house and Byungwoo shook his head fondly as he settled into a chair in front of the table. Alrighty folks, open for trick or treating, come get your candy!

Donna, with a mischievous glint in her eye, might have questioned whether her age was truly appropriate for all the elaborate costume theatrics of Halloween. However, when it came to the sugary delights – the candies, the chocolates, the sweet treats – she never felt a day over eighteen.

In a playful attempt to appear younger, perhaps even to recapture a sliver of her youth, Donna donned her old school uniform. It was a bold move, especially considering she was well past her school days – a full 22 years old, in fact. But it was Halloween, and she was determined to embrace the spirit of the occasion.

She emerged from the shadows onto the familiar streets of her neighborhood, her eyes quickly spotting the brothers’ house. It was their annual Halloween extravaganza, a spectacle of decorations and spooky charm. They were already busily setting up, transforming their home into a haunted haven.

A playful smirk danced on Donna's lips as she approached. "Hi, trick or treat I guess?" she greeted Byungwoo, her voice laced with a youthful energy that belied her actual age.

It'd taken everything in him not to fall into the trap of scrolling endlessly through social media, fingers already itching to retrieve phone from his pocket - which would've taken so many steps because of his costume - but he was being strong. Byu was just someone who liked to have something to do at all times and even though they'd gotten a few kids darting up so far, they were quick snatch and scuttles, no real lingering interactions. He perked up as someone approached and he chuckled at her costume, "Ah, reliving the school days, huh? If I put on a uniform, usually teachers think I'm actually a student. Just a really tall one."

Laughter bubbled easily from him and he nodded as he took some candy bars and offered it out to her. A chirp by his side announced Seok's return with the additional goodies, one being held out for Donna to take. An unlit glowstick and a small box that it seemed to have come out of was handed over by the child, a little grin on his face. "Rechargeable glowstick! So you stay safe! And it's pretty!" He seemed to take in her costume and gave a little nod, "School." Seok totally understood.
