Fresh stench of popcorn and caramelized apples is the only aroma stinging Mr. Kim Taehyung's nose, fighting back the necessity to pinch the bridge of his nose to block out the stench from poisoning his nostrils anymore than they already are.

There's never been so much color and smiles in one location before, let alone in this ominous town. To be fair this event is a mile away from the home of despair, so at technically speaking it's not in town.

This is the largest tent anyone has ever seen before, or more so, Taehyung has ever seen; stripes of blood red and glittering gold as the sun. Would a tarp or a tent be appropriate to refer to whatever this is? Not like Taehyung cares what to name it as, only cares more about his expensive pea coat not getting dirty with sticky caramel fingers of sweets from the children excitedly running around beside him.

His dear friend is far more enthusiastic about this than Taehyung is obviously. Initially Taehyung was going to sway Taemin a little more to drop this absurd idea of coming to a children's play ground, but the other was a man not easily convinced. Such a disappointment and a surprise it is seeing men probably older than the two combined making an appearance here, alone or with their desired group of people.

At least this made Taehyung not want to hide to the depths of this Earth.

Word will spread quickly that the most successful man in town is here, and dealing with it will be a pain to handle the following day of work.

The things Taehyung must stand for his best friend.

"Can you believe this Taehyung! Look at these performers!" Taemin would gasp ever so often, pointing to silly clowns or jugglers with knifes, sometimes to other animals that would roam free with their caretaker beside it to make sure it wouldn't attack any customers.

A circus.

What more did Taehyung expect besides this?

The ticket seller in the booth already is hollering that the show is beginning and everyone should attend inside. Taehyung didn't even feel himself being dragged through the curtains by Taemin's excited hands on his arms at first, wanting to get a seat at the front row -away from the band- just as Taehyung wished.

Twinkling star like lights glitter the inside the large tent of the ceiling, almost as though fireflies were situated and glued to the fabric to not move away. Unlike the outside, the inside of this place is large, being able to fit fifty or more people max. Wooden rosemary benches are settled in rows, polished and evidently clean against the chipped grass. There's a large ring of platform of dirt at the center, connecting to a wide pathway of large golden curtains. There's a small gate between the crowd and the ring, giving enough space to have performers or animals roam around to their wishes, or prevent any daring audience from being too close of being attacked.

A perfect scenery for a show.

And Taehyung has a perfect view of everything.

Abruptly the fireflies began to dim light, shining a direct light to the center of the ring instead. The band is across from Taehyung's line of sight but all his attention is on the dirt ground, waiting for some sort of miracle to happen as the drums rummages hard by the thick sticks, nearly tearing it up as it raises the anticipation of the crowd to the start of the show.

When the loud explosion of blue smoke abruptly poofs the circle, forcing gasps to flutter out of many lips in the crowd - Even jolting Taemin by the sudden scare- before it suddenly whirls away from a strong wind; Leaving a man to stand alone in the middle of the ring of the large circus.

Let the show begin.
