A New Career Singer Who Can Read The Future [EN]: Chapter 182

Dohyun shuffled the cards, and Hyunho was the first to draw one.

[The Sun]

“Wow… a positive major card for the card of the year. It looks like everything will go smoothly this year. Even if someone tries to block your path, those issues will be resolved well.”

“Wow! The card’s meaning is so good! Seokwon, you should draw one quickly too! While thinking about your goals for the year!”

At Hyunho’s words, Seokwon pondered deeply before choosing a card.

“Hmm… I have a tour planned for this year, so I hope it goes well.”

Dohyun flipped the card over. The result was…

[Knight of Wands]

“Oh, hyung [older brother/male friend]! This card seems full of energy, doesn’t it?”

Dohyun smiled and explained at Seokwon’s words.

“That’s right. It’s the Knight of Wands card, and the wand can also represent work. The knight is moving very dynamically too. It seems like you’ll have a year full of energy and achieve great results in your work.”

“Ooh… thank you, hyung!”

“Hyung, you should draw a card too!”

“That’s right. We’re curious about hyung’s New Year’s fortune as well as our own.”

Dohyun shuffled the cards. Then, he drew one. He flipped it over, anticipating what card would come out.

[The World]

The last card of the Major Arcana, and also the card with the most positive meaning, [The World] card appeared.

“…Huh?”

A card that had never appeared before. It was a card that signified an event achieving success and completion. It represented perfection and accomplishment. The fact that this card came out this year meant…

‘Am I finally going to be able to finish my work well? I’m so excited about what kind of achievements I’ll make this year. I’m also singing the World Cup theme song, and after that schedule, I’m going to the Grammy Awards, and there’s also the Seoul encore concert… If all of this falls into place perfectly…’

“Hyung, why are you smiling to yourself like that? Let’s know the result together!”

As Seokwon urged him, Dohyun explained the meaning of the card.

“Wow… so does that mean our hyung is going from world-class to an even higher world-class?”

Dohyun’s face flushed at Hyunho’s flattering words. Seeing the tips of his ears turn red, Seokwon teased Dohyun.

“Hyung, you were secretly hoping for this card to come out, weren’t you? Looking at your reaction now…”

“That’s right. It’s a reaction that you’ve been waiting for this card?”

As the two ganged up on him, Dohyun waved his hands and said.

“No. This is really the first time this card has come out while I’ve been getting tarot readings for years. That’s why I’m reacting like this… It’s not like I was particularly expecting this card and drew it.”

“Still, it’s a relief that a good card came out, hyung. Hyung, you’re going to have a packed schedule… I hope you can achieve good results in that many schedules, cheers!”

“What kind of cheers with coffee… Cheers.”

Dohyun was shy but clinked his coffee cup and cheered.

It was a pleasant time spent with precious people.

The song was completed on the evening of the second day of the trip. The song title was ‘Camellia.’ Although it had the title ‘Camellia,’ the lyrics in the song had a different feel. It felt like the song captured the essence of life.

‘Blooming in winter / My new fervor / The things I’ve hoped and wished for / It feels like they can all be achieved now.’

It also contained a new mindset for welcoming the new year. Seokwon and Dohyun were satisfied with the completed lyrics. Hyunho, who was in charge of composing the melody, was also very pleased, saying that the lyrics matched the melody well.

“Will a lot of people come tomorrow?”

Seokwon asked, sounding worried.

“Don’t worry. Many will come.”

Even with Dohyun’s reassuring words, Seokwon’s worried expression did not disappear.

“It’s winter… I wonder if there will be many people.”

“It’ll be fine. So don’t worry too much. Rumors have already spread among fans that we’re here to do something.”

“I really hope there’s a good reaction. There won’t be many opportunities for the three of us to do something together like this.”

“It’ll be fine.”

Hyunho also encouraged Seokwon.

All three of them were hoping that the busking [street performing] at Hamdeok Beach would be successful.

The practice continued until dawn on the third day. The sound was quite loud, but since there were no houses near the pension, they could practice without worry.

The three of them barely fell asleep after finishing practice. The morning schedule was to visit a pork cutlet restaurant in Jeju Island.

“Ah… pork cutlet from the morning… I’m so excited!”

Hyunho said with a big yawn.

“I’m excited too! I heard it’s really delicious there. I’m looking forward to it because they say it’s a taste you can’t forget once you eat it.”

“If we eat that today and practice a little more, and then go to the site at 6 PM to wait… I think it’ll be fun to see the fans’ faces!”

Seokwon looked as cheerful as a child going to an amusement park.

Dohyun, who was behind the wheel, was still thinking about [The World] card.

‘What kind of achievements will I make this year… I’m so nervous… I hope that not only me but everyone around me will be happy with good results…’

“Hyung, what are you thinking about?”

Seokwon, who was sitting in the passenger seat, spoke.

“Ah. Just thinking about the card I drew yesterday?”

“That World card? They say that card is good. Hyung’s tarot readings have never been wrong, so can I look forward to your performance this year?”

“I’d be happy if you looked forward to it. I really have to do well… Then I can hard carry you guys too. We can release more project albums too.”

Dohyun felt a heavy sense of responsibility as the oldest of the three, including himself, and as a senior in the entertainment industry for a long time. He had a great desire to help his juniors who trusted and followed him.

Contrary to Dohyun’s words, Hyunho said that he didn’t have to do that.

“Hyung. Sometimes when I see you… it seems like you’re trying to be too good to your juniors. We’re okay with it, but there will definitely be cases where they try to take advantage of that…”

“I can filter out those cases myself, it’s okay. Hyunho.”

“Hyung. I don’t think you need to feel too much pressure. It’s good for all of us if hyung does well, but I hope you don’t feel pressured to do too well.”

Dohyun thanked Hyunho for his sincere words. If he hadn’t gone to the DJ’s birthday party earlier that day… would he have been able to be with these good people?

“Okay, it’s about to get gloomy… Let’s eat pork cutlet deliciously first and then think about it!”

The three of them had already arrived at the pork cutlet restaurant.

Since they didn’t cover their faces much, there were people who recognized them.

They asked for autographs and asked if they could take pictures together. However, this was filtered out by the staff.

“We’re sorry, everyone! We’re currently filming a broadcast! Your faces may be shown on the broadcast, so… we ask for your understanding! We can give you autographs!”

As the staff went around saying this, it finally calmed down a bit.

However, in some corners, there were voices complaining that the three of them were getting sponsored by the restaurant.

“No, we came here after a fierce ticketing war, but aren’t they just here to get free food?”

“I know. Celebrities have such an easy life.”

Hyunho, who was listening to those words, suddenly put his arm around Dohyun’s shoulder and said loudly.

“Hyung! I’m so happy that I succeeded in ticketing, right? I think yesterday’s ticketing was a divine move! Isn’t that right, staff members? You all saw me succeed in ticketing!”

Hyunho really hated being misunderstood.

Dohyun immediately understood that feeling and smiled and replied.

“That’s right. If you hadn’t succeeded, what would we be eating today… wouldn’t we be eating black pork belly again today?”

“That’s right, hyung! It’s all thanks to me!”

“Hyunho, you did well.”

As these words came out, the voices grumbling in the corner quieted down. Hyunho shrugged his shoulders as if he was proud.

Finally, the restaurant door opened, and the three of them went to their reserved seats. The three of them ordered a mix of cheese pork cutlet and regular pork cutlet. They waited for the pork cutlet to come out quickly and adjusted the camera position.

“Everyone, you know where this famous restaurant is, right? It’s also a place that’s been on TV a lot. I wanted to feel the taste with you, so I came here like this! Although it’s going out through the screen, so I can’t properly convey the taste… everyone, be sure to come here! Be sure to succeed in ticketing! We wouldn’t have been able to succeed in ticketing if it wasn’t for Hyunho! I think Hyunho would even succeed in ticketing for my concert and come.”

Dohyun whispered to the camera in a gentle voice.

“Wow… as expected of someone who used to be a DJ, your voice is good, hyung.”

Seokwon exclaimed.

“Thank you. But seriously, aren’t you guys thinking of coming to my concert by ticketing next time instead of invitation tickets?”

Hyunho was confident that he could break through with his hands if it was his concert.

“Going to hyung’s concert is nothing. I’m okay, but I don’t think Seokwon can go? Why, there’s even a joke among fans. If a singer fails to ticket, don’t go on stage. That kind of thing could really happen…”

“Hyung. I want to stand on stage as a guest? So don’t tell me to come by ticketing… Honestly, I’m not as confident as Hyunho… Oh, the pork cutlet is here!”

“Here’s your pork cutlet. Who has the cheese pork cutlet?”

Only Hyunho chose the cheese pork cutlet. The other two chose regular pork cutlet.

That’s how the three of them started their mukbang [eating broadcast]. They forgot that there was a camera and focused on eating without even talking. By the time they knew it, lunch had passed.

“Oh… now we should slowly go back to the accommodation and pack our instruments and stuff. Staff members! Has it been announced?”

At Seokwon’s question, one of the youngest staff members told them that it had already been announced and that people were flocking to Hamdeok Beach.

“…Wow. What should I do? I’m so nervous!”

Seokwon said with a very excited expression. His excited appearance was very visible.

“Let’s do well! Fighting!”
