9. Circus Show • • Ssshwak–! The show began with the crack of the ringmaster’s whip. “Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Small Hell Circus!” With his booming voice, thunderous cheers erupted from the audience. For whatever reason, the crowd was ecstatic. Behind them, Pink Bear peeked out through a gap in the tent, then disappeared again. While I secretly watched from backstage, the beautiful magician poked me from behind. “Remember the rehearsal?” As if I…-

7. The Ringmaster’s Quarters • • “Hey! Dog, dog. No, Ringmaster!” I urgently shouted toward the ringmaster as he turned and walked away. He looked back, his eyebrows twisting. “Are you calling the dog, or calling me?” “You, Ringmaster. The doghouse, where is Samdu’s place?” “Samdu’s place?” I said it in a hurry, but calling it Samdu’s place sounded kind of funny. “You like this guy?” ‘What kind of ridiculous question is that?’ I’d…-

8. Assistant Choi • • “Leave those clothes here with me.” “My clothes?” “Yes. Put them over there.” I put the dirty clothes I had worn into the cabinet the ringmaster pointed to. They hadn’t even been washed. By the time I take them out a month from now, they might be rotten. “Um, here’s the cleansing foam.” I tried to return the cleansing foam he had given me, but he waved it away. “Keep it.” Then he immediately asked a question. “Not wearing…-

4. Kiss • • The inside of the tent grew heavy with silence after the two of them left. I took my eyes off the entrance and looked around. Under the dim light, the place was crowded with all sorts of items. From the outside, it hadn’t looked that big, but inside it was wider than I expected. Behind the small cage I’d been trapped in, I could see piles of junk. Next to them were large cages. Big enough for a bear or tiger. Maybe even bigger creatures. Treasure chest–shaped boxes…-

5. A Human Faced Beast • • My vision spun. I couldn’t breathe. At this rate, I was worried I might suffocate, because it felt like he was stealing every bit of oxygen from me. Logicall,y it should’ve been carbon dioxide, but… wait, that wasn’t the problem here. “Mmph, mmph!” When I genuinely thought I was going to die, I grabbed his arm with all my strength. Even then, the ringmaster kept sucking the breath from me. I couldn’t endure anymore…. Thinking I had no…-

6. Three-Head Management • • The resting area Balbari led me to was extremely simple. It was the inside of the circus tent after the audience had left. Large temporary partitions divided the interior, so each performer could have their own space. The entrances to the small rooms were all covered with cloth. There was basically no security and no soundproofing at all. It was literally just wide wooden boards set up as dividers. The ceiling was wide open, too. Some sections had cloth…-

17. Dancing with the Bear • • To be honest, I’d been so wrapped up thinking about the ringmaster that I completely forgot about Kiss. “You slept in the shack again?” “…” “I said I was sorry earlier, didn’t I?” Evening, just after sunset. Kiss approached me like an affectionate pet. He was wearing his usual extravagant makeup, but today he sparkled even more, as if he’d polished himself with extra effort. “I waited to see if you’d follow me, but you…-

18. Hell of Distrust • • After finishing the rehearsal for Part Two, I returned to find Part One about to begin. The moment I stepped through the door, I made eye contact with Kiss, who was standing nearby. He immediately ran over to me. “You said I’d do it for you today.” I stopped walking with the performer who had rehearsed Part Two with me, and Kiss grabbed my arm affectionately as he spoke. “You’re really going to do it?” “A promise is a promise.” I…-

19. The Reason • • While everyone was getting ready to leave after the show, I lay down pretending to sleep, watching the beast trainer lock the animals in their cages and cover them with cloth inside the shack. “Planning to sleep here?” He had helped me a few times, and now he talked to me with a bit of familiarity. “Yeah.” I answered casually to the beast trainer, whose appearance made him look like he had lived twice as long as me, then rolled up a piece of cloth lying…-

20. The Left Eye • • When did I fall asleep? I had simply closed my eyes and opened them, and now it was morning. I must have passed out because I was exhausted, from being suspected by Kiss, from checking on Samdu who barked at me, from wondering whom I could trust, from everything all at once. And maybe I had fallen asleep the moment I collapsed face-down, because my body was completely stiff. I grumbled that it felt like rigor mortis and slowly stretched my rigid…-
