Love, lies and Circus secrets . / Tk ✅️

showtime .🪄

This book begins with the wisdom of the salt mountain .

V stood in front of the mirror , sweaty hair sticking to his forehead, blood roaring in his veins as he adjusted his hat making sure the angle is perfect .
The light surrounding the backstage reflected from the tiny sequences of his jacket casting small rainbows .

"5 minutes ,V!" A stage hand called out .

Taking a deep breath he mentally rehearsed his routine and tricks .

His gaze wondered to the poster on the side wall : "Reflections of deception" featuring himself, the star his heart fluttered deep inside his chest.

"Showtime " He whispered .

The theater is adorned with mirror fragments and shimmering curtains creating a tense and eerie atmosphere. Anticipation builds as the audience awaits for V's arrival.

"Ladies and gentleman , boys and girls welcome to the realm of Reflections . Tonight the mirrors shall reveal secrets , conceal truth and unveil the magic within . Prepare to question reality ".
V's loud voice cut through the silence making everyone feel a shudder in their backbones hearing the last sentence . They all were equally excited and scared . The atmosphere screamed mystery and secrets.

V's figures emerges dramatically hidden within the shadows .

In a swift motion he brings out a desk of cards out of nowhere leaving a bewildered audience.
The background melody is in perfect sync with his actions creating a suspicious atmosphere.

"Who's ready to challenge reality with me ?" He asks and navigates through the crowd in order to find the perfect candidate.
Suddenly his eyes lock with a man who seems in his mid twenties .
His posture radiated fear and vulnerability.
Perfect .

"You , sir , with the black denim jacket come experience the labyrinth "

The guy flustered after gaining the spotlight on his head abruptly stands up and moves to the stage.

"Whats your name gentleman ?" He asks in a sickening sweet voice .
"Alex" the man replied in a timid voice

Tae spread the deck of card on a table and asks Alex " choose a card , any card "
Alex selects one at random
Tae: " sign your name across its face "
Alex signs and returns the card back , keeping it on the top .
Tae: "watch closely " He whispered closely in such a way that Alex got goosebumps.
He shuffles the deck with perfection and waves his hand over the deck .

"Your signed card has vanished "
V suddenly exclaimed showing the deck of cards to the audience .
Loud applause and cheers fill the hall with people hooting and laughing.
"You may return now gentleman " V asks gesturing towards Alex's seat .

"Ladies and gentleman now witness the mystical appearance of the four aces ". V exclaims and everyone's attention gets back on the stage waiting for the next trick .
V shuffles the deck maintaining a poker face which made him look like a greed God. Kim taehyung was a mystery , a handsome mystery . Well maybe that's why he was called the
"MYSTIKO " .

V : the ace of hearts .. hmm where will it appear??
He snaps his fingers and suddenly the ace appears on the table top .
There is a sharp intake of breath from the audience as v chuckles
"The heart beats strong doesn't it?"

V:" Next , the ace of diamonds !"
He takes out a sealed envelope from his pocket and produces the ace of diamonds.
V: "shine revealed ".
While the audience is busy clapping and wondering what is the loophole .

V: "Now clubs !"
V slides the ace of clubs from under the mug kept as a decoration piece on the stage .
"well this was easy " v speaks earning loads of laughter and shouts from the crowd.

V: " Finaly spades reveal the mystery "
V stops and acts like he doesn't know where the card is .
"Can any of you help me in revealing this secret ?" He asks and many hands are raised in the air waiting for a chance to get on the stage.
Again he chooses the one who was the most insecure and vulnerable.
"You , mam please come up"
He calls out .
When the women gets on the stage he asks her to turn around and face towards side .
Moving his hands in the air with grace and familiarity he suddenly puts his hands inside the women's Jean pockets and brings out the card.

"The quartet completed" He shouts and the crowd goes crazy with wonder and awe .

He smirks to himself after seeing the crowd getting worked up .

After this he performs more small tricks like "coin through glass " , "cups and balls " .

Gradually the stage darkens until its pitch black . Everyone is confused until they look back at the stage and see a mirror setup shining vividly.

*the pictures above are for your reference you can choose whatever you like *

"Welcome to the mirror maze where the lines of reality and deception blur" V said with such confidence and aura making eye contact with the audience , his posture perfect .

Suddenly smoke fills the stage making it hard to see only the silhouette could be seen as V whispered into the mic

"In this maze , nothing is as it seems "

"Who dares to enter the mirror maze with Me?" He challenges and a brave man stands up from his seat and comes forward .
V hands him a lightsick asking him to guide them .

Together they enter the mirror realm and try to navigate their path .
Suddenly V disappears from the view making the crowd go blank . An unsettling silence spreads as V reappears in a different place whispering
"Only Reflections yet I reappear " .

"Now observe closely as my brave spectator here disappears into the world of magic ."

The volunteer disappears and then appears at the outside of the maze .

As V comes out as well he says
"Thankyou for entering the mirror maze "

There is a lot of clapping and the lights return back to normal .

The spectator went back to his seat but Noone noticed that his eyes once bright and filled with bravery now were distant filled with darknesss .
Not even V noticed .
