Chan knew finding people in town to perform for the circus would be hard.

Everyone is so uptight and serious. Nothing exist out of their little perfect town and everybody disowned what they seen as non-perfect.

Even though he knew this, he was determined to find a few people.

There had to be some odd people out there that would stick out like him. Specially if he told them they would get paid if this went well.

So Chan headed towards the towns center the next day and stood on top of the fountain with papers in hand.

This would either end well or horribly.

"Come one! Come all! Be apart of something extraordinary!" Chan shouts as he tries to hand papers to people.

"Don't you want to keep the magic of the circus alive! Bring joy to children and people of all ages honestly!" Chan calls out as tried to ignore how people were just taking his papers and tossing them.

"You know this is a bad idea," Chan jumps when he heard a voice from beside him.

Chan turns to look at a puppy looking boy. He's seen him around town, delivering things for people.

"How? I'm trying to save the circus." Chan hands him a paper as he steps down.

The boy takes the paper and reads it over with a straight face, "You're asking the wrong people to save the circus."

"Then why are you here?" Chan shoots back making the boy chuckle.

"Because I want to help. I want to be apart of it." He tells him making Chan smile happily.

"That's awesome! What can you do?!" He ask with a smile.

The boy takes a few papers and crumbles them up into balls before he started tossing them in the air. Catching them seamlessly in a particular pattern.

Chan claps for him as he said, "Can you juggle other things?"

The boy juggles the papers till he tosses them each one by one at Chan. He laughs as he lets himself be hit.

"I'll save that for the show." He shrugs and Chan nods, understanding why.

"I never caught your name. Mine is-"

"I know your name. I'm Kim Seungmin." He introduces himself with a slight bow.

"Ahh, your Father runs the newspaper." Chan knew the man and knew how much he hated Chan as well.

"Yes. Now, I know some people who may be interested in your show."

"Every circus has their strongmen and I think this is our best bet." Seungmin and Chan had entered a bar shortly after their conversation.

Chan was honestly scared of being there since he knew a lot of men hated him for being into men. They thought he would be creepy and harass them like they do to women.

"All these men are average." Chan whispers as he looks around the crowd.

"You haven't looked behind the bar." Seungmin nudged him to look behind the said counter.

Chan looks behind the bar and scans it till he reaches a gorgeous man. It made Chan gasp as he seen the muscles strain against his clothing.

He was a short man but had the muscles that made the girls around him drooling and giggling over everything he said. He stood out with the tattoos that peaked out on his hands and a piercing in the middle of his bottom lip.
