To say the least, Minho highly intrigued me. Something about him was undiscovered and I, being the curious person or more likely nosey, wanted to find out what that was.

I mean, who's that cold towards people without having some sort of issue?

I was obviously going to spend a fair bit of time with this boy but whether it got us closer is for me to find out myself. It seemed that we wouldn't necessarily be practicing together for a small part of time since well, there was three more shows to go before the circus returned back to the base.

I was currently walking back stage when I suddenly bumped into a rock hard chest, causing me to stumble backwards just about keeping the balance that wasn't knocked out of me.

"So you're clumsy too? Jesus. Your going to be hard work."

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me." Minho rolled his eyes as if I was an annoying fly trying to prey on his dinner. Wanting nothing to swat me away and squish me if he could in the process.

"God. Do you have any manners?"

"You haven't even apologised for bumping into me."

"You didn't even give me the chance to."

"Just stay out of my way okay?" He muttered something under his breath before walking away to get his makeup fixed.

"What an asshole and I haven't even known him for a day." I mumbled to myself as I made my way upwards into the VIP box of the main tent.

Crowds of people filled the stands as excited chatter died down as the lights dimmed. I saw Seungmin from the other box across from me controlling the whole system.

Chan walked out joyfully in his ring masters uniform as arrays of cheers, claps and whistles filled the air.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen! I'm am excited to introduce you to the Bang Circus! We are delighted to have you here!" Chan bowed as he threw his cane into the air and caught it as the music began to play.

"Did Chan ever tell you they sometimes sing as well?"

"Bloody hell, Yuqi. You gave me a scare." I held my heart ever so dramatically as she took a seat beside me.

"Well, boo."

"No Chan never did to be honest. What will I have to sing?"

"Uh yeah. Minho sings so it'd be weird for his partner not to-" Yuqi was interrupted as Felix flipped into the arena and began to sing.

"What song is this?" I whispered gently, not wanting to interrupt my new peers.

"The Other Side from the greatest showman."

"What's the greatest showman?"

"The fuck? How have you never watched it?" Her jaw dropped in disbelief as if I had just massacred twenty children.

"What?"

"Your watching it with me later."

"Oh alright." I said, taken back by the pure shock of not having watched a certain film.

Hyunjin and Felix's routine was flawless. There movements were fluid and bold, making a statement to the audience. Their voices were stable despite performing energy zapping tricks while doing so. The stamina was incredible. The audience were completely hypnotised by the two incredible performers on stage.

The song finished too quickly in my opinion. I could watch them for hours and hours. They exited the stage in style as the stands erupted into cheers.

The stage dimmed as a flash of fire could be seen. Max and wooyoung ran into the center with fire in their hands. Max ran right to the center where a stick could be placed. He grabbed the stick and set it alight.

Wooyoung set a metal hoop, ablaze and gave max a nod. He threw the hoop into the air as Max launched the stick right through it with accuracy as Wooyoung caught it. The outside of the arena was now burning with fire. Wooyoung smirked in joy as Jeongin ran into the arena on top of a pretty white horse. He wore no tack at all.

The horse majestically reared and Jeongin caught one of the newly lit torches.

The crowds erupted as their act came to a closing. Jeongin stayed on the stage as the lights went out.

Music began to play as a shuffling of animals could be heard. Jeongin began to sing and the lights finally turned on to reveal dogs, birds and more horses.

Changbin helped instruct the animals to perform tricks. I was completely mesmerised by the harmony between the animals and the two boys. Jeongin burst into a high notes and gasps from myself and the audience could be heard.

"Just you wait till you hear Minho's voice. Him and Jeongin need to do a special act or something together."

"He's really amazing. How long has Jeongin been here?"

"Pretty sure since he was 14. He started circus at 12 so yeah I think that's about right."

"So he's been here for ten years?"

"Yep."

"Long time."

"What circus did you used to go to then?"

"Seoul's Stars Circus."

"Wait! Are you Han Jisung as in whose sister ran away and dragged you with her?! The brother of the top performer in like all of Seoul?!" I looked at her in shock. Did people really know about it?

"Uhm yes.." I muttered quietly under my breath.

"Your sister was like amazing! She was so good at silks-"

The music interrupted Yuqi to my relief. The spotlight shone upwards, towards the ceiling of the spacious tent. A figure was sitting on the hoop and began to sing. The song I recognised as Never Enough. His voice was even more prettier than Yuqi had described.

It was fluid. Soft. His voice captured everyone's attention as he hit every note perfectly and effortlessly. He might've been an asshole but he could for sure sing.

I'd never heard a voice like it. He began to perform tricks as he sung, his voice more stable than anyone's could be. He hung from the hoop before leaping to a trapeze bar and swinging towards the crowd as he hit an extremely high note. He leapt off the trapeze bar gracefully before grabbing into the rope. He wrapped himself in the rope before spinning downwards, untangling himself. He still sung perfectly.

His costume sparkled beautifully in the spotlights. It was a beautiful dark blue. He then switched to the trapeze bar and wrapped his lower leg onto it as he swung towards our box. I was in shock, my jaw agape as he came towards us, singing so beautifully.

He looked straight at me while belting out a high note. The corners of his lips upturned into a sort of smug smirk that could only be noticed if you looked properly.

He swung gracefully back to the rope before flipping off it and landing on his feet. He stuck the position and bowed as the crowds exploded into even bigger collections of applauds, cheers and whistles.

I stayed silent at the pure shock of this performance. The way he executed everything with style couldn't compare or come close to anything.

He stayed there as the rest of the cast joined him, running in for the final performance. So much was going on. The final song began that could be known as The Greatest Show.

So many things happened on the stage as the crowd continued to cheer. My only focus was on the trapeze. He performed intricate tricks as Chan began to sing. He was soon joined by everyone else.

"Bloody hell, Yuqi. This is a show." I whispered.
