Confused Today’s Donghwa & Prophecy Sighting Photos
(Photos of Prophecy escorting Ji Donghwa like a butler, with Ji Donghwa accepting it as perfectly normal. Prophecy serving coffee with white gloves.)
└ What is this? The subtle madness is gone, and now it’s just blatant…
└ Anyway, Ji Donghwa looks so pretty… Like a young master of a company, a second-generation chaebol [a wealthy heir] ㅅㅂ

(Sharing the above post.)
Ah… Character analysis done in a flash… I love the word ‘second’ so much, I’m hitting the wall.
└ I spent dinner tonight imagining him not wanting the company but being forced by his father to take over, and being forcibly thrown into a power struggle with his older brother ㅅㅂ
└ Ji Donghwa, who has no intention of fighting with his brother but diligently runs the business entrusted to him out of responsibility and feels sorry inside for being in a winning situation… I want to see that… This night…
└ Ah… Sorry for being such a roomnut [a hardcore fan]… Donghwa… Sorry…
MyWinter@wiro87
Mental lesson 3rd period, are you coming? I, the roomnut, am still 존버 [a Korean slang term meaning “stubbornly holding on” or “enduring”].
(Same scene, different angle)
└ No, that’s not it. Why does Ji Donghwa look so natural? ㅅㅂ ㅋㅌㅋㅋㅋ
└ Junseong sightings only pop up like beans in a drought. When did he get so close to Prophecy? Is there any coherence other than mental lessons?
└ Prophecy’s cafe is so famous for being delicious, how can you get such an escort from the owner? ㅅㅂ ㅋㅌㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅌ

Sorry, roomnuts. Our kid is a bit weird.
└ I watched it live at the cafe today. At first, Donghwa seemed very embarrassed, but I don’t know how it turned out like that when he left.
└ DoNotHitTheFlower@edeninside8
Sorry, Timers [Prophecy’s fans]. Our kid is also weird sometimes.
The great confusion of Timers and roomnuts, who knew nothing, was expected.
Prophecy had unilaterally posted songs composed by Ji Donghwa, saying, ‘I listen to this song often,’ so they just thought they might be friendly.
So, as soon as Timers and roomnuts encountered the incident, they thought:
‘Ah, our kid is at it again.’
TOT Officially (in a good way) crazy guy Prophecy and Donghwa, who himself strongly denies it but is recognized by all the members and fans as a guy with screws tightened too tight that sometimes malfunctions.
So, each of their fans shouted, ‘My bias [favorite member] is doing something weird again!’ and posted on SNS.
The theory that Mental Lesson 3rd period was the most reasonable interpretation was soon denied.
Because one person turned on the W app [a social media platform] and announced the fact that it was a ‘collaboration between Ji Donghwa and Prophecy.’
* * *
“Ah, Donghwa? I treated him very well today. I even knelt down and asked him to accept me as a butler.”
Prophecy’s W app, a man who would have skillfully turned the words around if it was a filming, was proudly shouting.
“We decided to be friends now. He kept calling me ‘sunbae’ [senior], but he finally corrected his title to ‘hyung’ [older brother or male friend].”
With a ‘somehow mysterious scarf’ that fans gave him on his head and a ‘somehow mysterious crystal ball’ in front of him, Prophecy revealed the truth during his communication broadcast.
“Actually, I received a lot of help from Donghwa. Didn’t you know? But we became friends today. I tested the waters first. I think Donghwa likes me a little.”
The costume looked like an astrologer from a thousand years ago, but the person looked pure anyway.
“What kind of help? Ah, can I say this?”
He took a bite of the chocolate he made himself. The leisurely silence focused attention and aroused curiosity.
When the comment window was noisy with resentment, Prophecy opened his mouth as if the chocolate had finally melted.
“I received the gift of life.”
―What nonsense are you talking about, Prophecy, again ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅌㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
―Please, Prophecy, don’t say weird things ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅌㅋㅋ
―Whenever he opens his mouth, nonsense comes out automatically…
“If it’s my word, you say it’s a lie! I’m really sad.”
The curse was over, but the culture remained unchanged.
Prophecy, who was an unbelievable human being, had no choice but to appeal his injustice to the fans who had a culture of disbelief.
“Hmm……”
Prophecy stroking the crystal ball, mysterious.
Prophecy smiling as if contemplating, then smiling with an expression that says, ‘It’ll be fun,’ mysterious.
He slowly closed and opened his eyes and took a deep breath. Very mysterious.
“Everyone, shall I tell you a secret?”
Prophecy opened his eyes and started warming up as if he was about to die of excitement.
“Actually, Donghwa saved my life……”
And the words cut off abruptly.
Prophecy glanced at his phone once, then opened his eyes wide, neatly folded the scarf that was a fan’s gift, and made a fuss.
“Donghwa told me to stop? No, what. Why are you watching my W app? Are you already monitoring your butler?”
After some commotion, Prophecy raised his phone.
“Ah, I’ll call him once to see if it’s okay to talk about it. Still, if I get fired on my first day of butler employment.”
Dial tone.
“Are you having a good night?”
Ji Donghwa greeted in a slightly husky voice.
As if his radio DJ career hadn’t gone anywhere, it was a voice good to listen to while watching the stars at dawn.
“The butler is calling.”
“The president is answering the phone.”
“Wow, he’s really doing it.”
A wicked laugh that suits the onomatopoeia ‘kidding, kidding’ was the moment fans liked Prophecy the most.
“Hyung told me to do it.”
“No, I didn’t know you’d really do it.”
“Because promises must be kept.”
“Actually, you wanted to do it, right?”
“…Do you want to see me make my first mistake here?”
“Whatever you do, it would be welcome!”
After Ji Donghwa and Prophecy confirmed their dynamic, they made a promise.
If he calls himself a butler, Ji Donghwa will act like an employer.
However, the word ‘president’ was corrected because Ji Donghwa had a fit at the old-fashioned abuse of the word ‘owner’.
“No, so why not? Everyone will say, ‘Ah, it’s a lie, he’s writing a novel,’ if I say it anyway.”
“I’ll use my power as president once. No.”
However, now that we’ve come this far, we can’t reveal any secrets.
However, it is not the butler’s duty to do what the president tells him not to do.
Prophecy quickly judged. In this case, it is best to hide a big secret with a small secret.
“Well, it’s a big secret that Donghwa decided to give me and Junseong hyung a duet song.”
So Prophecy brought up another secret as it was.
It wasn’t a secret related to the sentence ‘Ji Donghwa gave me life,’ but it was a secret anyway.
“Oh my.”
It was a judgment that Ji Donghwa could also understand, but wouldn’t something smaller have been okay?
“Oh my.”
Prophecy skillfully raised one hand to his mouth and pretended to be surprised. He’s done it more than once or twice.
“I made another mistake.”
For reference, Prophecy has made 0 mistakes while working as a celebrity so far.
There was only intention disguised as a mistake.
“…Are you sick somewhere?”
“I’m fine.”
“I want to ask Eden hyung to please change that answer.”
Ji Donghwa politely saying that he wants to ask someone else to hit him once.
“What should I do, everyone? I think I’m going to get scolded by the company.”
In many ways.
However, the comment window was just a crucible of joy.
“…Really, aren’t you sick?”
Only Ji Donghwa’s voice echoed lonely among everyone laughing.
* * *
On the way to the plane, I habitually walked close to Lee Hyunjae.
“Hyung, yesterday.”
“Don’t ask me, Hyunjae.”
The W app that I entered because I became friends with Prophecy, and what I saw there was Prophecy’s face, who was fully prepared to make an explosive statement with the nuance of ‘Donghwa saved my life’.
I smiled as I faced the camera flashes coming towards us.
A habitual smile.
“But that, has it been discussed with the company?”
“Yeah. It’s something we promised.”
When I think about it, it’s not a bad time to go public.
Because TOT sunbaenims’ [senior artists] unit activities are scheduled for two months while we are abroad. The video will be uploaded in a few days anyway.
Rather, a small spoiler has the aspect of arousing expectations from fans, so it’s not bad for gathering expectations a few days ago.
There may be complaints from Junseong hyung’s individual fandom, but 99% of those who stan [support] Junseong hyung also stan Prophecy as a sub, so it’s a plausible choice politically.
In addition, there is a W app duet live of Prophecy and Junseong today.
Did he consider all of this in that short amount of time, perhaps?
Why do the PD [production director] and Prophecy use their extraordinary brains for that kind of thing? If they had studied academics, the academic world might have advanced a few steps.
“Hyung, your eyes are similar to the professor I saw at school yesterday.”
Lee Hyunjae took a little distance to the side. Even though he’s smiling, his momentum must be fierce.
The possibility that the PD is a graduate student might be a little curious.
All graduate students deserve to be supported, but I hope that PD is unhappy.
“But, Donghwa, you won’t need a retirement pension later.”
“Hmm, should I take out a silver town savings account [savings account for retirement homes]?”
I’m saving money little by little now, but it would be good to save more money little by little and prepare the amount to build a silver town.
Breaking through the crowded crowd and boarding the plane, I took out my cross stitch.
“Wow, Donghwa.”
Chae Hamin, who was sitting next to me, exclaimed as he looked at the cross stitch made with the fan seats seen from the stage as a design.
Well, I’m a little proud of this.
“It’s like a handicraft.”
I don’t know if it’s ‘art’, but it’s definitely ‘handicraft’, Hamin.
The only problem with this hobby is that the starting point is Ryu Ideun, so I have to see the expression ‘It’s thanks to me, right?’ in real time.
“(Excuse me, may I ask you a question?)”
And suddenly German.
What kind of person speaks German, not English, in Korean land? I turned my eyes from the cross stitch board.
“(Yes?)”
“(Oh my, it’s real.)”
I remember her face.
I slowly took in her appearance.
Certainly, when I went to Germany as an exchange student on the recommendation of a professor, the professor was a woman, Julia Weber, majoring in video aesthetics. The speed of her words is like a stream of water.
…Then she shouldn’t know me.
That possibility has long since disappeared.
“(I know you, Ji. I’ve watched your music videos often.)”
She always calls me ‘Herr JI’ because it’s difficult to pronounce ‘Donghwa’. In English, it’s ‘Mr. JI’.
Then, did she speak German to see if it was me?
It’s quite famous among the fandom that I can speak German, but it’s a little unfamiliar that one of the Germans knows that.
I don’t know how she fell in love with the music video of an idol from a small country in Asia, but I’m just grateful.
I was naturally talking, and then I noticed Chae Hamin next to me.
He was pretending to be a city person appreciating the scenery outside the window with a cold, hardened expression.
Anyway, the first destination is Southeast Asia, but seeing a German professor here, is it a sabbatical year or something?
However, through the short conversation before takeoff, I could roughly understand why she was on this plane.
“(I’m in charge of directing the concert video this time. It’s your performance, right?)”
No, why.
“Actually, I can speak Korean too. Are you surprised?”
Really, why.
Chae Hamin, who was sitting next to me, suddenly loosened up and turned his head to this side with a bright smile.
“Hello!”
“(I’m sorry, I can only do a little.)”
Chae Hamin becomes gloomy again.
Don’t lie. The pronunciation is not that of a person who can only do a little. How can you pronounce 된소리 [fortis consonants] so wonderfully?
