7 Halloween

All week everywhere I noticed that Halloween was this weekend but not here, nobody was at home to ask about what people does here. I almost lost my spirit when noticed any store was decorated or selling the typical merchandise.

I opened my computer and surfing the internet....Well let's say that Coreans need to learn something about one of the moost popular traditions in other countries. My family always lived in America so it was in my soul to celebrate Halloween, to scare people with my outfit and makeup. To go outside at night ... I loved it.

I was fortunate enough in Spain and in the place I lived half of my life thy celebrate something similar before everywhere the American traditions merged a little into the country. But at least we prepared pumpkin lamps, sweet treats and went outside at night. Before showing our respect to our loved ones that have passed away. Here it was in February or March when the first full moon of the year was, it was something called Daeboreum I would respect it but the breff información I have read gave me the impression of something a werewolf would celebrate.

I was wondering what to do but I was going to celebrate it, have some orange and black decorations, prepare traditional meals , post a photo of Liam and myself with elaborated makeup to share with my family and watch a horror movie or a traditional one...Liam is not a robot to fall asleep at the same time every single day.

I went through all the stores with materials enough for me to craft some decorations and everything I thought I will need and came back totally loaded. I put everything on the floor looking around before introducing the code to enter the boys apartment. I usually use this door because I don't go upstairs with Liam's stroller and every one needs to believe that is my house.

I was about to give a piece of my mind to the one who picked up some of my beloved treasures that I have spent the morning collecting anywhere I saw fit. Fortunately they were Jimin and Jin that have hard ears to understand my improper speech because to someone that lived in the same region as me some time ago, it would be very offensive to heard.

They were frozen in place before I realized they were trying to help me on thier way towards the apartment. Today everyone was working on their work space. The level bellow us have the working stuff need for tho members that can't work staying at home so just the labs for Yoongi and Namjoon are the only ones next to their rooms. The can seriously start to work anywhere .

I welcomed them and said a white lie about what I said at the door, nobody needed to translate everything I choose to say when I got startled.

I ramble about our trip outside and Halloween instead. Yoongi was muttering something to himself as he wrote down in a notebook. He had a documentary on the TV, it was something historical so it was difficult to me to understand but the traditional attire give me the impression that he was searching for something to be connected with his lyrics.

He was totally focused on it to pay attention to us and greet . The boys behind me flew to him uninterested trying to understand my English.

But Yoongi stopped when they started to question him, or tried to look over his shoulder to read his notes. It was rude but reminded me of what my sisters used to do when I ignored them to focus on something.

They laughed at his attitude, Yoongi was cute puffing and huffing because he was disturbed. I was trying to figure how to bring everything with me upstairs with Liam's attention on climbing the steps slowly.

He was almost at our apartment as I had to move carefully to go upstairs with everything intact. Out of nowhere Yoongi was hidden around the corner as I reached my living room to put in order my newly acquired items. Someone was looking for him but I ignored them.

Liam was playing with his construction blocks so he didn't noticed Yoongi sitting out of wiew. Namjoon said that the boys wanted to order food instead cooking but I have planned to every meal this week so I they could come here if they need something from me or wanted to play Liam.

I made room for him at the table and gestured him to come here. I gave him some papers ,pens , pencils... anything he may like to use because I bought some today but I needed to prepare lunch .

I unlocked my computer for him to use because I don't have a television in my apartment I didn't thought it was urgent to have one because I could use the one downstairs when nobody was using it.

Today I planned to made a Spanish omelet and a salad. I didn't know for sure if wanted to eat here but I made enough anyway. It is done quickly because there isn't that many ingredients. I served two regular portions with some salad and a small portion without salad for Liam because he wouldn't eat it even if I insist.

I didn't said anything as I left the plates on the table and started to feed Liam. Once my son focused on his food I started to eat my share. Supervising Liam as he eats from time to time I looked at the screen where he had searched some information. He has some notes beautifully drawn in Hangeul because to those simbols were more drawings than letters to me.

He noticed the food finally and examined it before trying it. Yoongi made the same gestures as Liam before he was convinced enough that he liked it before to really start to eat his lunch. He was almost finished when Jimin came up looking for him. All his things were downstairs but he wasn't there or in any of studios outside the apartment.

There was some food left from their order but Jungkook was goofing around to see if he could have the left over portion. Jimin made a face but didn't said anything going back with the good news to the younger one. I heard some commotion downstairs, probably because Yoongi was here eating something rare for them and comfortably working on with my laptop.

He said his thanks for the meal and sharing my things with him before going to his side of the house so nobody could made this bigger than really was. I gave him the rest of the omelet that we didn't ate for them to try it too.

I had 3 days to craft my decorations and prepare a corner where I will place them and take some pictures of us to send to my family and friends. Liam helped painting in orange and black some cardboard to use as background to our handmade photocool. I had made spider webs with cotton and glue. I added spider toys and was trying to transform a regular round paper lamp into a pumpkin alike paper lamp.

Liam was playing with the black cat puppet as I was gluing the decorations to the finger painted cardboard. It was big enough for us to seat and do some captures without hiding it behind us. This days I didn't had the opportunity to se Yoongi around, he was at home working and living but we didn't saw each other even by mistake.

Saturday came quickly and early enough Mr Park called to inform that a female guest was to arrive because she and her company wanted a collaboration with the group or one of them in particular. She wanted a new single to promote. I was painting Liam's face like Frankenstein and he was finger painting mine in exchange .

We were downstairs because some of the boys wanted to see how it was made and played a little with the colors I didn't to xareneed. He was done quickly because baby boys can't stay still more than 5 minutes.

She called the door and I went to open up still funnily painted as I greeted her making sure I recognize her from the picture I had saw. I made room for her to enter and called Namjoon to came here and guide her.

Yoongi came from the corridor totally covered and they all left the apartment to work on the office like floor that was under the apartment. I cleaned up and bring Liam whit me to do my makeup. I had chosen to be a scarecrow because I didn't want to Liam start crying because of my makeup .

I was fixing my phone to take the photos when they came back fumming . I didn't wanted to be nosy, but Taehyung came upstairs and offered to take the photos and also wanted to take some pictures downstairs with his camera.

Mine were beautiful and funny because Liam decided to smear my face with his hands, lucky me I fixed our makeup because he did something similar last year. Downstairs he took pictures as Liam played around and I was frozen somewhere in the frame like a real scarecrow gesture.

We were doing that and taking selfies when Mr Park arrived to wait for the girl and his representative from her company. Yoongi came in with her almost hanging from his arm. He didn't look comfortable but didn't made anything to send her away. I focused on what we were doing even if I saw how she tried to get his attention being as close as she could.

Mr.Park was the one to ask for her company representative and what kind of work she demands. she wanted to work with Yoongi alone but Mr. Park reminded her how are the conditions to have any member to work with her.

She was exigent and Mr Park was fuming. Any young woman could come in not following their company desires. Yoongi was tense and frustrated because she was caressing him more than he wanted. She was invited to go back to her company as soon as she left the poor boy.
