Chapter 4
Circus Freak
That night the show was about to start. I wanted to see what everyone did. At least those who stayed. Jonghyun and key did a performance on the tightropes and swings. Minho did an act with the elephants doing tricks. A man named Jinki dressed like a clown and was chased around by chickens making many people laugh. Several daredevil stunts by jonghyun. And last was Minho and his tigers.
They were marvelous even if they did try to kill me. Jumping through flaming hoops and riding on the back of horses. They even stood on each others backs for the finishing act. It was spectacular. Minho looked over At me with a big smile before bowing to the audience who clapped and jeered.
"Hmmmm. He must like you." a voice said behind me and I turned to see Jinki. His face covered in paint.
"Hello hyung." I spoke as I bowed. He waved it off as he stood beside me in his clown suit still.
"He has never looked this happy. Ever. He hasn't tried to stop a tiger with force if someone was in danger. You must be very special to him." he said again as the entire cast went out to bow and say their thanks. Really he liked me? How could that be? We've only met a day. I do admit he is very attractive.
After everything was over everyone quietly returned to their trailers except minho and I. Minho wanted to polish up some things with the tigers before heading off to bed. I sat on the side behind the metal bars to protect myself in case they wanted to lunge at me again. My head rested on one of the many boxes as I exhaustingly watched minho. My eyelids were heavy but I wanted to see what he did. Sadly my fight to stay awake was lost and I fell into a short slumber.
When I did wake up i was in a pair of muscular arms being carried away. My arms were heavy as I tried to wiggle out but failed. I tried to look at the face belonging to the arms but sleep beckoned me to return.
