AFTER THE PREPARATION, IT IS TIME FOR THE MOST-AWAITED EVENT THIS SEASON!
We are all excited to dress up and portray characters for Halloween! My sisters and I have always loved to go to malls during Halloween, and we even take studio group photos to commemorate such activities. So imagine how glad we all were when there's a grandiose Halloween party here in Hive! Yay! π₯³
