SKIN ✚ JIA & YONGGUK
It wasn't a secret that Jia was hardly graceful on her feet. She had always been less attentive than most and with earbuds jammed in her ears while roaming, she couldn't be more vulnerable to accidents--small cuts and scrapes decorating her limbs from the small bumps with various misplaced furniture pieces. The circus was constantly changing shape and moving as if it were alive, people always buzzing and moving and working like a hive. Although detached from the social scene, she was oddly apart of the movements, even if she were the element of chaos that kept things universally balanced. If anything, that excuse was enough to keep her content when she stubbed her toe on whatever box was left on the ground. The sun was still visible although the night was fast approaching, providing light for the freaks as they prepared the grounds, people moving past each other almost fluid-like. Jia kept her ears occupied with foreign music--a language that she couldn't even begin to understand, but that was soothing to her overactive brain. Her restlessness had her unable to rest in her tent along with the people that she hardly knew, opting to walk around aimlessly, dragging her sneakers across the ground as she mouthed the unknown words of the songs. Her involvement in the tracks had her unable to fully focus on her steps and before she knew it, her shoe caught a rope that had been trusted to tie a tent down--a very trusty rope that didn't seem to budge as the weight of her whole body pulled at it. "Oh no!" Jia yelled out as her small frame seemed to go towards the ground in slow motion, hands frantic as she tried to catch herself, but her appendages were useless as her right ankle twisted and she ended up on her back in the grass. For a moment, her vision was blurred and she didn't bother to sit up, pain surging up both of her legs. "Ah, really?" she whined as she looked at her iPod that had flown several feet from where she was--but at least it was still intact with the earbuds still plugged in firmly. She didn't know the extent of her own injuries, but she dreaded even the slightest movement.
