It felt great to be putting my practice trapeze uniform on. My upper half was bare as I wrapped the safety bandage around it. I moved to put some on my feet before slipping grippy socks over the top of them. I had some tight sport leggings along with looser shorts on top. I wore a tight base layer underneath and paired it with a loose sport top above it.

I sighed and wrapped my hands up before looking at myself in the mirror.

It felt like seeing my younger self all over again. I shook my head out the trance and walked out the side tent into the practice arena.

"Nice kit Jisung."

"Thanks."

"Do you have an old routine you remember?"

"Many. It's practically drilled into my brain."

He chuckled as I walked into the slight sandy base of the circle. I stalked towards the rope in the middle and wrapped my hands around it.

I pulled on it and shot straight upwards with the rope into the air where the other equipment hung. I breathed in and began to perform a routine on the rope.

I transferred to one of the bars and began to swing. I noticed the other bars and wrapped the lower half of my legs into it before building up momentum. I reached my hands outwards towards the bar before reaching max momentum. I projected myself off the bar and grabbed cleanly onto the other bar.

I repeated the move again, throwing a front flip into the mix. I then spotted a hoop and switched over to that, dangling from both my hands as I spun the thing. I spun in a circle as I performed a mid air split. I closed the split and swung from the hoop onto the rope once again. I slid a bit down the rope before doing a flying twist. I landed flat on my feet as I stuck the dismount.

Chan clapped as I looked up to see him smiling widely.

"I don't think you're rusty at all."

"You don't?"

"No. Not at all."

"Well, uh thanks." I sheepishly smiled.

"From what I've seen. Your good. Quite good. You're hired."

"What!? Seriously?"

"Yep. Obviously I'm not gonna make you do an act just yet. Italy is our last stop for this year's tour. Once January swings by in a couple of months we will go on tour again. It's November now, that's enough time for you to get prepared and your act sorted."

"Thank you so so much!" I hugged him tightly before pulling away.

"Oh uhm sorry. I get a bit carried away."

"It's fine. I don't mind a hug once in a while." He laughed harmoniously.

"So um, what do I do from now?"

"I'll get you to sign the contract and meet the other members. And who I'll partner with you-"

"Partner?"

"Yeah. We do have a trapeze artist but they currently don't have a partner. I was gonna put you with them. Is there a problem with that?" He enquired, raising his brow again.

"No no not at all. Trapeze is usually a two or more person thing."

"Brilliant. Now let's go get that contract signed. Do you want to change?"

"If that's alright."

I felt much more comfortable in my normal clothes as I was trying to find my way back to the small tent. I spotted it in the distance and lightly jogged over to it. Chan sat back in his chair and had a piece of paper and a pen in front of him.
