A New Career Singer Who Can Read The Future [EN]: Chapter 104

Finally, the first day of the Seoul concert arrived.

Do Hyun had repeated rehearsals countless times until the day before.

He felt nervous as it was the day to kick off the long journey of the national tour.

It felt different from performing at the Gymnastics Stadium.

Before the show.

Do Hyun used tarot cards to predict the success of this national tour.

‘Let’s see… which card should I choose?’

Then, one card caught his eye.

He carefully flipped it over.

[The Devil]

‘Oh… I feel like I can create a stage that showcases tremendous energy, intense energy to the audience?’

He had a feeling after seeing the card.

He had prepared a lot for this setlist as well.

If the last concert aimed to create the first memories with fans, this performance was planned to show off all his charms.

“What are you smiling about?”

Kang Ho asked Do Hyun, who was smiling while looking at the cards.

“I just have a good feeling.”

“Ah, speaking of which, Do Hyun. I think I’m going to break up with my girlfriend. Could you read my tarot cards?”

Kang Ho had been gloomy for the past few days, and it seemed he was about to break up with his girlfriend, whom he had been dating for quite a while.

“Yes, I’ll read them for you.”

Do Hyun shuffled the cards and carefully picked one.

And the card that came out was….

[Six of Swords]

A card depicting a woman sailing away in a boat in a different direction.

Seeing her heading elsewhere without regret… it seemed Kang Ho was facing a breakup.

As Do Hyun hesitated to speak, Kang Ho spoke first.

“This looks like a breakup card at first glance. Right?”

“…Um. You could say that. Let me draw one more card.”

[The Death]

It was a perfect breakup reading. The Death card, signifying the end of everything and a new beginning.

It primarily implies the end of a relationship.

“…Hey, I can tell without looking. It’s literally written as ‘Death’.”

“…Hyung [older brother/male friend]. I have nothing to say. Cheer up. You’ll be able to meet someone good. What can you do if there’s a difference in opinion about the future?”

“Huh? How did you know? I didn’t tell you? We had a big fight about marriage because of differing opinions.”

“Ah, I just said what the cards told me. Anyway… Hyung. Fate will come. Cheer up.”

“Sigh… Thanks, Do Hyun. Let’s rest a bit before going on stage.”

Kang Ho went outside, looking gloomy, saying he needed to smoke.

Other staff members were amazed to see Do Hyun accurately predicting the situation with the tarot cards.

“Do Hyun oppa [older brother/male friend], can you read mine later too?”

The youngest stylist asked.

Do Hyun said he would read it later.

He couldn’t read it now anyway. He had already read three cards.

“You’ll definitely read it for me later, right? Right? You only ever read Kang Ho oppa’s!”

“Sorry. I’ll definitely read yours too. I keep forgetting even though I say I will.”

“It’s okay, oppa. It can happen. Come to think of it, there’s only an hour left until the show.”

Do Hyun looked at his watch.

There was one hour left until the show.

It was time to rest for a bit.

“I’m going to catch some sleep. Wake me up in 20 minutes. I need to warm up my voice before that.”

* * *

The scheduled showtime arrived.

A VCR was playing.

The fans’ cheers were heard. Do Hyun’s heart swelled each time he heard their expectant voices.

Do Hyun, who appeared on the main stage, went to the protruding stage from the beginning.

He began to roam the protruding stage.

Today’s concept was ‘free spirit’. It was reminiscent of the free ‘fool’ of the 0th tarot card.

At the same time, Do Hyun exuded a decadent charm.

The fans chanted his name at Do Hyun’s free and decadent appearance.

Na Do Hyun! Na Do Hyun! Na Do Hyun!

Do Hyun felt his blood running hot.

Indeed.

The thrill felt on stage was more exhilarating than anything else.

[The Devil] card came out. Did it know that I would pour out this much energy?

Tarot cards are amazing.

“Everyone, you all know this song, right? Let’s sing along together!”

When ‘One and Only’ came on, the fans lit up the stage with flashlights and sang together.

Looking at the fans standing densely and tightly packed in the small venue, Do Hyun felt a surge of emotion.

He also felt that the hardships he had gone through during the last US tour were subsiding.

How much had he wished, while predicting the venue with tarot cards, that the fans would not leave and that it would be a gift to the fans who had been waiting?

Although it was in a different venue, Do Hyun was quite moved by the fact that it was six shows in Seoul.

The fact that he had sold out all the shows also played a part.

One song, two songs… the stage flowed.

Before he knew it, it was nearing the end.

Do Hyun changed his clothes backstage and reappeared.

Do Hyun began to sing ‘Paper Airplane’, a song from his recent album.

At that moment….

Paper airplanes began to fly onto the stage!

Do Hyun was slightly taken aback while singing.

It wasn’t just one.

Hundreds, thousands of paper airplanes flew towards Do Hyun’s stage.

Those that fell along the way were picked up by other fans and thrown again.

Do Hyun stopped singing and unfolded one of the paper airplanes.

Inside, there was a message of love for Do Hyun.

[Do Hyun, you know I always love you, right? I support your life. I love you, my singer.]

Tears welled up.

He had deliberately avoided looking for events prepared by fans before the show.

He wanted to enjoy this performance without spoilers.

Not having seen the spoilers, and with the paper airplane event that other visiting singers might have received flying in time with the song ‘Paper Airplane’, the emotion was doubled.

“Everyone, it’s my first day today. Are you trying to make me cry?”

Do Hyun said in a voice already wet with tears.

At Do Hyun’s words, shouts of not to cry were heard from the audience.

“I really… I wasn’t going to cry today. Strangely, I feel like I’m going to cry every time I meet you all. Do you like me crying? Is that it?”

At Do Hyun’s words, there were fans who laughed and fans who teared up.

“Today is nothing compared to the days we will meet in the future… but thank you so much for moving me with this event. I love you, Honeys [term of endearment for fans]. You are my everything.”

As if to prove that he was moved, Do Hyun sang two more songs in the encore stage that was scheduled.

It was said that the band session was taken aback as Do Hyun’s voice continued even though they hadn’t prepared, and they continued to play.

In that way, Do Hyun watched from behind as the fans all left the venue.

Even in the empty venue after all the fans had left, he went out to the protruding stage and took out the paper airplanes one by one, unfolded them, and took care of them.

He asked the staff to collect as many paper airplanes as possible.

He couldn’t let them be treated as trash when they contained the hearts of the fans.

“…Why is that woman here?”

Do Hyun, who had successfully finished the first day of the show.

Frowned as soon as he came to the waiting room.

The memory of ‘Oknyeo’ clearly came to mind.

Do Hyun pointed to a woman with a serious expression.

It was the granddaughter of Hanseong Group, who had come to his concept photo shoot.

Do Hyun’s expression was stiff.

He remembered clearly expressing his intentions to the CEO.

He was at a loss for words as the woman was standing there waiting for him in the waiting room.

Kang Ho said, not knowing what to do.

“I… I think the CEO invited her.”

Just in time, the CEO appeared with his arms wide open.

“Wow, who is this! Isn’t it Na Do Hyun who completed today’s touching stage!”

“…CEO.”

“Why do you have such a stiff expression on this good day? Ah, we also have a VIP guest who I invited here. You’ve met her once before, right? It’s Seo Sujin.”

“Yes. I see.”

The CEO seemed slightly embarrassed by Do Hyun’s cold reaction.

However, Do Hyun ignored it and tried to wipe off his sweat and talk to his parents, who had been guided to the waiting room.

But.

“Can you take a picture with me?”

The woman spoke to Do Hyun politely, as if conscious of the eyes of others.

“I’m sorry. I don’t want to leave a picture of myself soaked in sweat under the stage.”

Do Hyun coldly refused.

The CEO, who was watching this, immediately stepped in.

“Let’s talk for a bit, Do Hyun.”

Do Hyun replied as if he had been waiting.

“Yes, let’s.”

At the CEO’s words, Do Hyun followed him out.

The CEO looked around, confirmed that there was no one except the bodyguards, and opened his mouth.

“Come on, Do Hyun. Why are you being so rigid? I’m not telling you to get a sponsor… I invited her as a VIP. Wouldn’t it be great if you just exchanged greetings comfortably, got her contact information, and took a picture together?”

It was a mix of persuasion and threat.

“Is that really for my sake, CEO? I doubt that. That woman seems to be someone who flaunts her wealth and connections. I told you earlier that I’m not interested in that.”

The CEO sighed as if he was dumbfounded.

“That’s why you were a no-name for 10 years.”

Do Hyun’s stomach was boiling, but he decided to endure it just once.

“CEO. Your words are excessive.”

“So, take a picture with VIP Seo Sujin and get along. Who knows? Seo Sujin might use the group’s power to get us advertisements and invest more in our Hue Entertainment….”

“So, that’s what it was?”

Do Hyun realized why the CEO was acting that way.

Investment.

That was the reason.

“CEO. Can you take responsibility for what you just said? It’s okay to terminate the exclusive contract. The company is demanding something absurd, something close to damaging the celebrity’s image.”

Do Hyun took out the phone in his pocket.

The recording app was on.

The CEO’s expression turned pale when he saw it.

“Did you record it?”

“It’s not illegal, CEO. I’m participating in this conversation. So, it’s okay to record, and this can be used as clear evidence in court. If this evidence spreads, what will happen to Hue Entertainment’s solid position in the industry?”

At Do Hyun’s question, the Hue Entertainment CEO was speechless and told him to stop recording.

“Erase it right now! Are you trying to ruin what I’ve built all my life? Just because of one VIP treatment?”

The CEO spoke in a sharp voice.

But Do Hyun didn’t bat an eye.

What’s annoying is, really, just disgusting.

If they call him a kkon-dae [a condescending older person], he had nothing to say.

But anyway, what’s not right is not right.

“It’s VIP treatment for the CEO, but it’s annoying for me in my life as a singer. What are you going to do, CEO? Are we going to go to court like this, or are you going to make sure that person never appears in front of me again?”

It was Do Hyun’s heavy blow.
