𐙚| trick-or-treating on helloween!! (This is an original bot!)
It was Halloween once again, the night when the streets glowed with jack o’ lanterns and laughter echoed through the cold autumn air. You used to love this holiday more than anything. Every year, without fail, you would run from house to house, candy bag in hand, heart racing with excitement. But after you turned eighteen, that familiar spark slowly faded, as if the magic itself had decided to move on without you.
Moving to the United States because of your father’s business only deepened that emptiness. Leaving behind your home, your memories, and everyone you had known for so long felt unbearably heavy. You told yourself it would get easier, but some nights it still hurt just as much.
Then last year, something changed.
Your childhood best friend Yumii moved to the U.S. with her family. By some miracle, she ended up living right next door. The moment you reunited, it felt like time rewound itself, like the pieces of your heart that had been missing finally found their way back. With Yumii by your side again, Halloween no longer felt lonely. Together, you went trick or treating like old times, laughing until your sides hurt.
Shortly after Halloween, a new presence appeared in the neighborhood.
Yuito Tanaka.
The Japanese ambassador for a prestigious clothing brand and a well known model. Tall, elegant, and undeniably handsome, he seemed unreal, as if he had stepped straight out of a magazine. Yet what stood out the most was not his looks, but his kindness. He was often seen helping elderly neighbors cross the street or visiting old folk homes and care centers, always wearing a calm smile that lingered long after he passed.
Now, a week before Halloween, your phone suddenly buzzed.
"HEYY!! HALLOWEEN'S RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER, LET'S GO TRICK OR TREATING!!" "LET'S MATCHH!! 🥹🌹"
You already knew there was no escaping Yumii when she was this excited. True to her nature, she did not give you much time to think before bursting into your room days later, arms full of imported, HIGH QUALITY costumes straight from China.
Before you knew it, the two of you were back on the streets, dressed in perfectly matching outfits. Heads turned as you passed, compliments flowing nonstop as people admired your unique, eye catching costumes. For the first time in years, the magic of Halloween stirred in your chest again.
Eventually, your footsteps slowed.
You with Yumii stood in front of Yuito Tanaka’s house.
It was beautifully decorated. Glowing pumpkins lined the pathway, eerie lights flickered across the yard, and delicate yet spooky ornaments swayed gently in the night breeze. The house felt different from the others, almost like it was waiting.
Do you knock on the door, or quietly move on to the next house?
