Circus Destiny
Description
The seven boys and Hyemin grew up on the circus. So when the circus burned down and the animals disappeared, they wanted answers--and they got more than they bargained for: a gang, a trip to Jeju Island, an undercover op, a love that threatens to ruin everything.
Hyemin, 18, raised by her aunt and uncle (woohyun's parents) in the circus until she was 8, when her mom took her back to seoul.
Sunggyu, 23, the ringleader's son, his mom left the circus when he was 14 to live her own life
Dongwoo, 21, works with the lions (his parents)
Woohyun, 21, works as a trapeze artist with his parents, hyemin's cousin
Hoya, 21, works with the tiger (his dad), his mom left the circus when he was 13 to live her own life
Sungyeol, 20, works with the doves (his parents), sungjong's brother
Myungsoo, 20, the psychic's son
Sungjong, 18, works with the doves (his parents), sungyeol's brother
Foreword
Sunggyu, Dongwoo, Woohyun, Hoya, Sungyeol, Myungsoo, and Sungjong, all running for their lives. Not being chased, but chasing after it.
All they had was in flames.
“No!” Dongwoo screamed, running into the burning tents. “No!”
Sunggyu grabbed at his hair and closed his eyes. Everything, gone. Circus, gone. Animals, gone. Family, gone.
Dongwoo had tears streaming down his face. He wiped them away, but they kept coming. So he punched the ground. Kicked the earth. Yelled in the air.
Hoya was staring with his eyes wide open, unblinking, heart unbelieving. No. There’s no way. It’s all a dream. It’s not real. It’s—he watched his own tent collapse. No.
Woohyun wouldn’t stop fidgeting around, trying to escape the firefighters holding him down.
Myungsoo kept turning away, as if things would change, but they wouldn’t, and he knew they wouldn’t, but why can’t they? He cried out in frustration.
Sungyeol fell to the ground, thoughts scattered, breath uneven. He felt himself coming apart at the pieces, everything he knew burning before him.
Sungjong stood, paralyzed, in shock, unbelieving, but it’s there—or was there—and I can’t do anything.
Everything they knew, everyone they loved, up in flames.
Circus Infinite was gone.
