"I'd never let you go, even after your death."
"Look, look!"
"There's a circus afar."
"Shall we take a look?"
Ah, the early 1600's, the time where experimenting on children and putting them on display for others to make a mockery of them. The people would laugh at the circus people's misery and insult them to any extent they wish. Many of the children and even young adults wanted to die. For most of them, the reason they resided here was because their family were poor and could not get money to earn bread. Their fathers would sell them to labs where the labs sell them to circuses once they're deformed.
"I want to die, I want to die," You could hear the sobbing of those who were caged before they are wwhipped until silence, as well as the laughter of the audience.
"Why am I like this?" That was the most common question the circus people asked.
"This is fun! This is too fun!" The mentally insane freaks would cry out from their cages.
One of the people who were in between the lines of being a child and being a young adult, one of the some who were just sold to the circus, was given a chance. He was only of seventeen years old, healthy, and showed promise. He was given the role as the ringmaster. He had no name, like everyone else, but was known by many as "Taemin", being responsible in everyhing and having success. With a whip in hand, he would torture the circus freaks as he walked by, making him the most feared by the distorted children and even the young adults who were older than him.
Taemin's beauty surpassed most of the female population, it wasn't like an ordinary person's beauty. He attracted all, but had mutual feelings for none, (well, except for a certain person that he shouldn't mention). He was homosexual, which disappoints all women, younger and older. His almond-shaped red eyes, his petite face, his thin yet full lips, his long sooty eyelashes, and perfectly sculpted cheekbones. His long chestnut hair, which had different shades of brown if you looked closer, is cut in a unique way, and his bangs covered most of his eyes. Many say he is the son of Lucifer himself. By just one glance and a smirk, he'd make anyone, distorted or not, fear him or admire him. Except for a certain four.
Taemin had a soft spot for four certain people, to everyone's surprise. But that was his limit. The much bigger force wouldn't tolerate him take a liking to any more. Taemin would always check up on them, make sure they get fed twice the serving a regular freak gets, and would talk to them on his free time after shows. He only showed his true self and smiles at them. The four still resided in cages, but luckily, next to one another.
One was a solid shadow of twenty years. Not technically a person's own shadow, but a shadow nonetheless. He had the appearance of a human but can do many inhumanly things with souls and aura. His voice can deafen all humans if done on purpose. He was named "Jonghyun". He was currently in a love-hate relationship with the man who resided in the cage next to him. That, Taemin understood and would smile at their closeness.
Another was a sewn-together man of twenty-one years. He was pitied by many. He would trip over things for their amusement but everyone believes he has a dark side to him. He would sit at the side closest to Jonghyun of his cage while the shadow would lovingly talk to him, sometimes kissing him through the bars that were wide enough for their faces to touch. That made him the most happy. He was known by the name "Onew".
The next one was a deformed diva of nineteen years. He was known as "Key", due to his fingers, which were keys instead of real fingers. Stitches were all over him and his skin was distorted. His hair was disheveled most of the time. He sung heavenly but sad songs. But he also worked as the circus' keykeeper. Still, he cared deeply for Taemin's and the others' well-being before his own. But you can hear him crying out his true feelings late at night. He deeply loved Jonghyun until he and Onew earned mutual feelings.
The last one, the one Taemin cared about the most, was a dark disformed figure who only ate cold things, also of nineteen years. He was named "Minho". He seemed the most sad out of everyone in the whole circus, despite being treated best by the ringmaster. Taemin actually fell in love with the figure at first sight, feeling bad for doing so. He wasn't sure if Minho had mutual feelings but was confused when Minho sometimes refused the third serving of food he always offered or refused to talk. Secretly, Minho always looked forward to seeing Taemin happily skipping towards him. He ignored Taemin due to the fact that he was the most envied by the other circus freaks.
All five cared for each other very much. But they want to escape but are afraid of the outside world. Sometimes, they asked each other to kill them. But they knew they couldn't. Even so, all of them wouldn't, dreading the thought of killing their own friend. They only had each other to get through this horrible fate.
