Find Me in 1000 Years

Coach

"Spiderman can't stick without a spider web. Can't wiggle on the wall if there's no net of spiders. Try here Brother hold ya, Brother check." The man slowly grabbed the boy in a sling. "No, no, right?"

"Yes" said the boy, according to him.

"Now we're downstairs, looking for spider webs huh?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Hold tight, because you don't have a spider web."

"Yes." Yeah."

The Japanese man carried the boy to the bottom. Audience cheers when the heroic stunt is over. They clapped.

But then, the bianglala is troubled because it does not want to spin. Ken hands Ethan to Bing and crouches down pretending to fix. Though he only needs to concentrate and make the ring move again. The ring finally turned around.

Ethan waits for his parents downstairs with the Japanese man.

"Want to buy the net first before the swing? Ok?" remember Ken to the boy.

"Yes." Yeah."

Both of his parents were so moved when they arrived downstairs and saw his son survive thanks to the man's help. The woman hugged and kissed her child happily.

"Thank you, uh, what's your name?" Ethan's father cheered the man.

"Ken."

"Oh, Ken. Thank you for saving my son."

"It's okay, sir. You're welcome."

"May I give you something?" The man opened his wallet.

"Oh, no, sir," Ken refused.

"But I can't just accept help. Please take this." The man slipped some money into Ken's hands.

The Japanese man turned his head towards Bing at a glance who just looked on without commenting. "Eh, sorry, look, sir. I'm a new employee, so I don't know the rules here. If I take money from you, I'm afraid it will make it harder for me to work here, Sir."

Ethan's father looked at Bing. "Can't you? I didn't give it away secretly, you know."

"Can!" tell Bing politely.

"No, I can say. Just accept. You're not gonna get fired" said the bule man clasping Ken's hand.

Ken was a little clumsy and embarrassed, but as he grasped the money, the visitor who saw the incident was pitying Ken. One by one come and give the money just to encourage the Japanese man.

"This, I add. The spirit of work?" A young woman gave him a banknote.

Ken gawking. "But ...."

"This is for your efforts." A young black man.

"Eh?"

"This is for you. The spirit of work?" A bule girl with her friend.

"Eh, but ...."

"The spirit of youth." An old granny with a stick.

And in an instant, his hand was filled with banknotes even the coins of some people who sympathized with him. The Japanese man returned.

Ethan's father just smiled at him. "The circus is lucky, if there's you."

Ken glanced at Bing who was laughing looking at his confused self, also moved. He looked at everyone who was there, and bowed to them all. "Thank you very much!" Also to Ethan's father.

The man patted Ken on the shoulder.

Ken came out of the store with the tall man carrying the groceries he had bought himself. At least he does not have to borrow other people's clothes even if he only buys makeshift clothes.

They then drove home on Bing's bike. When he arrived, Ken immediately took a shower and prepared to go to sleep. He must enter the caravan of Bill the beastman, for he will sleep there. He knocked on the door.

Before long, a handsome man with shirt buttons opened on his chest, opening the door. He looked at Ken carefully. "You're Ken, huh?"

"Eh, yes."

"Mmh, I hear you're my roommate, now."

"Eh, yes." Ken knew Bill because he was so busy. The Italian-faced man takes care of his circus animals with an assistant. Also train him until Ken can only get acquainted with that person at this time.

"Come in." The bule man gave way.

Ken came in with his clothes. "Thank you."

The caravan was spacious enough for the two of them, but the bed was only single? Ken didn't see any other beds. "Eh, my bed?"

"You're sleeping downstairs."

"What?"

"You just pull my bed downstairs."

Ken noticed again. There was another bed under the man's bed. "Oh, sorry."

"It's also a wardrobe, you just put your clothes there." The man explained the big room and what was there. He also told the rules. "So broadly speaking, this caravan is mine. Alden and you just hitchhiked here."

"Oh, yes." Because it was new, the Japanese man just agreed to everything Bill said. He doesn't know who Bill really is.

"So you're gonna be on the acrobatic team, mmh?" He folded his arms around his chest and leaned against the table where Ken was sitting.

"Eh, yes, sir."

The matured-aged man around his 30s nodded. "What can you do?"

"Eh? Uh, that's ...." A little confused, the Japanese man replied. "Dependence?"

The man in serious mood suddenly laughed. "Whatis that? Did you do well in school? That's how you mean?"

"I only work as an OB" Ken replied honestly.

The bule man watched Ken closely. He could hardly believe the Japanese man's words. "What'sthis? Why would someone like you work here?"

"Eh, I don't know," the Japanese man replied innocently.

Bill moved his hand to get Ken up. The Japanese man complied. The Bule immediately grabbed the man's arm and examined his muscles. "Your hand is strong enough."

Ken gawking.

The bule man also touched the man's waist.

"Eh?" Ken moved backwards because he felt so strange. Why'd he touch me?

"Don't get me wrong! I'm checking your muscles!" Unexpectedly, the bule was extremely fierce. "Try on lifting up your shirt."

With hesitation, the Japanese man lifted his shirt. Look at his thin body.

Bill noticed Ken's body shape. "Your teeth are not well formed. Ok, tomorrow. I'll train you myself."

"What?" Ken looked at the man closely. "Aren't you a beast trainer?" Ken sounds confused.

The man's eagle eyes looked at Ken sharply even though the man didn't mean it. "People know, I'm a beast handler, but I'm actually the one who taught the whole circus here his skills."

The Japanese man was dumbfounded. He immediately bent his body because he was embarrassed because he had mistaken this bule. "Oh, sorry, sorry, I don't know, Master."

"You don't have to worship me like that, you Japanese!" The man smiled. "Now you rest. I'll check my cage before I go to bed." He then went out.

Ken took a long breath. He's limp. Why was he so disrespectful to his own teacher? He was worried and felt guilty. After pulling his bed out, he laid his body on the short bed.
