At K University everyone was chattering excitedly about the Halloween festival that they will be attending. As Da-eun finally walked into class, Seo-yun and Ji-a waved at her as they rose from where they sat to greet her.
"How do you always get to class on time?" asked Seo-yun who was dressed in a floral red, knee-length gown with her raven hair in a ponytail.
"Don't bother, you know she always closes up whenever you bring up that question," Ji-a remarked. She was a tall one for her age and was dressed in a light-pink shirt and turquoise shorts with her raven hair down.
Ji-a knew of Da-eun's true nature and was very protective whenever anyone was trying to be nosy or wanting to put her friend in a tight position. Ji-a was the oldest by a year, while Seo-yun was the same age as Da-eun; but they never addressed each other in a formal manner.
The door to the class opened as their male teacher, a man in his thirties walked in. He was dressed in a light-blue, striped shirt and black pants.

The class came to a dead silence as everyone waited for the class to begin. The day went by with other classes and breaks in-between, and finally, at 4 pm it was time to head home.
"Let's check out what Bongwonsa has this year for Halloween," said Seo-yun.
"Cool, let's check it out," replied Da-eun
The three young girls walked on the gravel road, happily chattering as they strolled. On reaching Bongwonsa, a line of people could be seen outside as they waited to be called into the hanok-styled building.
This was the tradition that many residents from Seoul participated in, stalls with costumes of various creatures were displaced for all to buy.
Other stalls had Halloween theme candies, fortune reading and snacks, music could be heard with voices coming from every corner.
"Do you think we will ever get in?"
"Seo-yun, can you be patient? It will be our turn soon." Ji-a was trying not to sound upset, but at times she felt her friend was wearing her nerves thin.
People kept on filing in until almost an hour had passed before it became their turn to enter and enjoy all the fun of the Halloween spirit.
