Oh Sehun is part of the circus. Oh Sehun lives with no purpose than to get through the day. Oh Sehun is invisible, but deadly.

But when the circus closes, the spot-lights go off and the audience leaves, the fake smiles flatten and dissolve. The flame-thrower slips and cuts herself on her ice. The knife-thrower stabs and prods the frozen glass but cannot crack it. The ring-leader watches and cries, for he has never seen such perfection form by his own hands.

So, solve the riddle,

And break her curse,

For Sehun is there,

But he is there too,

Frozen in the cage,

Eyes watch as body numbs,

Underneath the fire crumbs.

Yes, in her mind they might look identical as those personas, but the events in this fanfiction do not correlate with the lives of those people who's names I've borrowed.  If you believe these events have truly occurred, sorry to disappoint you, but no. However, the author owns the plot of this story and her characters' characteristics (as well as the fictional character 'Yu Ri'). Please do not take my work and claim it as your own, it's very selfish. **

** Additionally, though the title of this story - Ruins - is borrowed from Shade Empire's glorious song off their album, "Omega Arcane," it is mostly not connected and bears almost no connection to the theme of the song. If interested, check it out here (Perfect, song is perfect). **

Warning: This story, as you might have noticed, is Rated M. That means that it's Rated M. I don't want to give away plot, so that's all I'm going to say, read at your own discretion.
