Where There's Smoke
Description
Aspiring pianist Baekhyun joins the Elyxion circus as a way to get off the streets and into a steady job. Finding his footing in this new world would be a lot easier if the star of the show, Chanyeol, wasn't so captivating.
Foreword
I almost set this story in 1920s Korea, but I came to the conclusion that it would not be for the best. I would hate to trivialize any of the atrocities that happened, offend anyone, or represent the era in a way that is inaccurate. To avoid this, I have set this in a fantasy country, one where the 1920s were flooding with booze and parties and distractions -- one where a circus would thrive, and Baekhyun would find himself in this situation. I hope that you understand why I did this, and I hope that this will clear up any vagueness in the setting, as I wanted this piece of fiction to stay just that: fictional. Thanks for all the support on my previous works, and I hope you enjoy this too. <3
