Small Hell Circus

Late at night, in a shadowy forest, a bizarre circus unfolds.

Choi Yeonho, who had lost his way and wandered around, happens to come across the Small Hell Circus. And because of one wrong choice, he ends up conditionally joining the circus for a month.

“If it feels that burdensome, do you want to start with a one-month contract? As a trainee, in an assistant role.”

At first, Choi Yeonho thought the circus simply had a unique concept, but he soon realizes it is actually a truly dangerous place.

To hide the fact that he is an ordinary human, he decides to accept the ringmaster’s help.

It was a deodorizing process that involved erasing his scent through direct inhalation.

“You. Smell.”

But because it’s far too similar to a kiss, a strange feeling begins to stir in him toward the ringmaster…
