A New Career Singer Who Can Read The Future [EN]: Chapter 162

Dohyun confessed that he hadn’t brought his tarot cards.

“Unfortunately… I didn’t bring my cards today. I’ll take a look at what kind of personal achievements you’ll make.”

At that, the Tempo employees laughed.

“After you check the results, you’ll definitely let us know, right?”

Dohyun replied to Hyungjun that he would.

“Then, let’s have some time for the executives and staff.”

After Dohyun’s words, Kangho added a word of caution, hoping that today’s events wouldn’t be leaked.

“I hope you’ll release photos taken after the book is published as much as possible. And I hope signatures won’t be found on the used market! Dohyun’s signatures sometimes appear on the used market.”

At Kangho’s words, the employees vehemently denied, saying, “That will never happen.” Only after those words were exchanged did Dohyun sign autographs and take pictures.

After spending that time, Dohyun finished his business at the publishing house and was able to return to the company.

Tomorrow was the day to go on the European tour. Since he was planning to stay in Europe for almost two months, there was a lot to pack.

First, in the morning, he stopped by his parents’ house and had a meal together. His parents were sad at the thought of not seeing their son for over two months.

Of course, there was also a gift I had prepared.

It was a ticket for a European trip.

When moving between countries, there was enough time to enjoy sightseeing with my parents.

If I traveled to America with my parents during my stay in the United States, this time it was time to travel to Europe.

I was aiming for a trip to Italy. Since I was selecting a place with a lot to see, Italy caught my eye.

My parents’ eyes welled up when they heard about what I had prepared. They were amazed and still couldn’t believe that their son had become a superstar.

Thinking of my parents, one corner of my heart ached. At the same time, I wondered how great it would be if my grandfather were still alive.

“Hoo… The European fans must have been waiting for a long time… I want to complete a successful stage and come back.”

The European tour will be held in France, England, Germany, Spain, and other places. I know that there were more requests from a few other places, but the company refused. The reason was that the demand was lower than expected. The company decided that it would be better not to perform than to wear out the artist’s stamina.

There were no performances in Italy, but I was thinking of performing with the Mediterranean Sea in the background as a surprise event for Italian fans. The company was also considering this part positively.

“Dohyun, what are you thinking about?”

“What about you, Hyung [older brother or male friend]? How did it go with maknae [youngest member or girlfriend]?”

After experiencing a breakup with maknae, Kangho hyung was living like a half-cripple. As marriage stories had been discussed, the shock seemed to be great. After finishing my management work and returning, I could see him drinking a can of beer to soothe his empty heart.

“Maknae… does answer my calls. But I don’t know what to do at all. You said you’d look at our chances of getting back together. Take a look.”

“Yes, Hyung. I’ll take a look.”

I brought the tarot cards.

After shuffling, I spread the cards in an arc.

Hyung carefully chose three cards.

I flipped over all three at once.

[The Death]

[Judgement]

[Two of Cups]

“What. The Death card came out? Does this mean the relationship is over? No, should I see that there’s a possibility of starting over?”

“Um… Let me read the flow first. It reads that the relationship between you and maknae is highly likely to start over from the beginning. Looking at the Judgement card, you can see the dead being resurrected by the sound of the archangel’s trumpet. And then there’s the Two of Cups. This can also be seen as a card between lovers. The emotions that have been buried so far will disappear, and it shows that you can start over, that you can reunite.”

At those words, Hoya hyung’s eyes turned red. As a hyung who firmly believes in the words of the cards, he would want to hold on to even the last hope. Knowing that desperation, I didn’t add any words.

“…Thanks, Dohyun. After hearing your words, I feel hopeful.”

“No, Hyung. You chose good cards. I didn’t pick them. I hope you succeed in reuniting with maknae. I also hope maknae comes back to our team.”

Maknae’s absence was greater than I thought. Maknae had a lot of charm and played a role in enlivening the atmosphere. Without such maknae, Hoya hyung also felt depressed, and a calm and quiet atmosphere flowed throughout the team.

“Maknae seems to want to come back too… Actually, the reason we broke up was because of the issue of whether or not to continue working together after we got married.”

Hoya hyung told me a story he hadn’t told me before.

“Ah, is that so?”

“Yeah. I said I wanted maknae to continue working. It seems like she’s satisfied as a stylist. Maknae’s career should also be respected. But maknae’s position is different. She said she wants to have children and live a normal life like her friends. Since these parts are different, we fought starting with this issue….”

“…Ah. That’s what happened. But you said maknae wants to come back. Didn’t she change her mind? She’s still young, too. If she experiences a wider world, her thoughts will change.”

At my words, Hoya hyung nodded.

“You’re right. I’m older and I said that because I was thinking of maknae, but it seems like it caused a misunderstanding in the middle. That’s not what I meant at all.”

“That’s how people’s words are. Unintentionally, it can cause misunderstandings.”

I was able to say that because I had that experience too. Haven’t I realized through numerous experiences that my trivial words can be conveyed differently to others?

“Hyung, I won’t tell you to cheer up. But I hope you get back together with maknae. I’ll be waiting for maknae to come back.”

“Thanks, Dohyun.”

“You’re leaving tomorrow, so don’t drink too much beer and go to bed early.”

“I’m only drinking one can, what’s the big deal. Anyway, Road will be attached tomorrow. He’ll be driving… Can’t you allow me one more can?”

“One can becomes two cans, and two cans become three cans. The refrigerator is full of alcohol these days. I know it’s hard for you, Hyung, but I don’t think trying to solve it with alcohol will help.”

I spoke directly, thinking of Hoya hyung. I’m not the type to enjoy saying this, but I thought it was necessary.

“Okay. You’re a nag, aren’t you?”

“Then I’ll go to bed. Hyung, go to bed early too. You should go to bed early if you’re going to have a long flight.”

“Okay… I understand.”

The next day, Incheon International Airport Terminal 2.

The first performance of the European tour was naturally in England. Since it was attached to the Glastonbury Festival schedule, England became the first venue. That too, at Wembley Stadium.

A performance at Wembley Stadium that will mark a milestone in my performance history. My heart was pounding. The company told me to take a chartered plane to fly comfortably. They said that this level of investment is not a waste….

Even though I was taking a chartered plane, when I got off at the parking lot of Terminal 2, I could see that it was filled with fans as well as photographers and videographers.

“Dohyun! Look over here just once!”

I could hear the fans asking me to look at them.

“Dohyun-ssi [term of polite address]! How do you feel about performing on the Wembley stage? How do you feel about performing as a Glastonbury headliner this time?”

“Dohyun-ssi, please make a heart while looking at the camera! Finger heart, biting heart, heart above your head, finger heart… just do it all!”

I looked at the camera across the street and made heart shapes in order. Click click. The sound of the camera shutter was busy.

Hoya hyung was moving the luggage with the road manager next to him. In the meantime, I made hearts and other poses that the reporters asked for.

Only after hearing Hoya hyung say that it was done did I cross the crosswalk.

“Thank you everyone for coming. Please be careful not to get hurt.”

At my words, the bodyguards surrounded me. The bodyguards prevented some fans from trying to make skinship [physical contact] with me. I walked at a certain distance from the fans and smiled.

I now know that keeping a certain distance is good for them and for me. Being too close is not good….

“Thank you! Thank you for coming!”

I bowed and greeted them. The fans tried to break through the bodyguards and give me gifts, but I couldn’t because of the company policy, so I didn’t receive the gifts.

Instead, I expressed my willingness to receive only their hearts through a thank you greeting.

After the place was moved to the immigration checkpoint, I was able to move a little more freely.

Hoya hyung moved comfortably because he had gone with the road manager to check in his luggage.

“Hyung. Is your stomach okay?”

“I was fine until this morning… Why does my stomach feel a little nauseous now?”

“Tell me honestly. How many cans did you drink?”

“Exactly four cans. I drank four cans. Four cans for 10,000 won at the convenience store… right?”

Hoya hyung avoided my gaze as if he was startled.

“Hyung.”

When I called out in a firm voice, Hoya hyung turned his head, pretending not to know.

“…Oh, and… by the way.”

“Um? What happened?”

“It’s not that… I’m going to try to get back together with maknae.”

“…Suddenly? Weren’t you having a hard time breaking up until yesterday?”

At the unexpected words, I was embarrassed and stuttered.

At my words, Hoya hyung whispered so that the people around him couldn’t hear.

“Actually, I called maknae after drinking. Maknae said she missed me and came to see me. So we met and made up… and decided to meet again.”

To think that such a thing happened while I was asleep.

I looked at Hyung with an expression of disbelief. Hyung was just smiling brightly as if he was happy to be back with maknae.

“Then when is maknae coming back?”

“Maknae will probably rejoin from the Asian tour. I’ve already told the stylist team. Maknae was good at her job. So when I told them about maknae’s comeback, that team liked it too.”

“That’s a relief… Hyung, don’t break up again and have a good relationship from now on. Okay?”

When I urged him, Hoya hyung nodded.

“Then Hyung, with a good heart… have a good tour. Please take care of me.”

“Okay, Dohyun. Please take care of me too. Let’s get along well. Let’s make the performance a success! Na Dohyun, fighting!”
