The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 182: The Girl's Deepest Love for Tarot

March 4, 22 p.m.

After Gong Cheng greeted the first 500 fans one-on-one, he simply returned to the venue's lounge for a short rest, and then stepped onto the stage of the venue under the guidance of the staff.

"Tarot, I wish you an unforgettable day." This was the blessing from the planner before he stepped down.

Gong Cheng nodded and greeted them amid the cheers of thousands of fans in the audience. "We finally meet. Hello everyone, I'm Gong Cheng."

The seats in the auditorium are similar to those in a theater, low near and high far away, like the Colosseum in ancient Rome, but fortunately there is not that solemn and cold atmosphere - the girls' bright smiles and shouts of support are warm and romantic, like two different worlds compared to the city outside wrapped in rain.

Fans saw the stage, simple yet technologically advanced, as planned. Behind Gong Cheng's tall figure, a large screen displayed footage of his career since his debut. In the center of the stage sat a large white round table, making him seem somewhat lonely sitting there alone.

But the top of the round table is not made of wood or steel, but a circular glass screen. People sitting at the table can lower their heads and see the projection on the table and on the electronic screen behind it scrolling synchronously.

"Oppa~ When is the concert?"

"Tarot, when will you release new songs?"

"..."

During the fan interaction session, Gong Cheng sat on a sofa next to a round table and caught a glimpse of a support sign. Written on white cardboard was the phrase, "I've saved money for a year, and finally I get to meet you, Tarot."

At the end of this paragraph, there's a picture of the girl herself, holding a cheering stick, with two red hearts as her eyes. The name "Gong Cheng" is written on the T-shirt with the simple drawing of the character.

There are countless homemade hand-painted cheering boards like this.

Tarot Saves the World

Becoming Each Other's Fireworks

Your existence is the best meal for me

"If there is no love, Seoul is too far away"

〈… … 〉

"Concert? It will be next year, right?" Gong Cheng stood up and invited the fans in the audience who were holding up the Tarot of "I saved money for a year and finally got to see you" to come on stage. Fans can be invited to the stage in this segment.

Amidst exclamations, he invited several more fans in the audience to sit together at the round table. The staff trotted onto the stage and handed them several microphones.

"Oppa, can you sing a song for us?" The girl sitting next to Gong Cheng, wearing a black off-shoulder dress, clutched the microphone and asked. As she spoke, she took out her phone from her bag and opened the QQ Music interface.
The playlist is filled with the name "Tarot" and his songs. QQ Music has a feature called "Single Rewind Diary" that shows a small headphone icon under each song, which records the number of times the song was played and the first time it was heard.

Gong Cheng took a look at the number of recent plays, which was 3721 times, with a small caption on QQ Music saying "Like watching the sunset 4000 times" below.

Under the expectant gazes of all the fans, Gong Cheng stood up from the sofa and asked with a chuckle, "How about the Chinese song?"

"Ahhhh!"

Amidst the screams, the girl who asked the question was so excited that she couldn't help asking, "Is it really possible?"

"Why not? Actually," Gong Cheng said softly while sitting on the sofa, "this song is for you, but it has never been released."

"I wanted to release it on my first full-length album, but I was already thinking about today's fan meeting in Korea. I thought it would be better to sing it in front of you in person. It's a surprise~ Just like what you did for me, right?"

"Oppa, you are so nice, aren't you? Woohoo." Another girl at the round table couldn't help but hold her head excitedly.

"Huh? Hah, aren't your requirements too low?" Gong Cheng looked at the fans in the audience helplessly. It seemed that their requirements were not that high. The staff quickly came on stage and placed a stand that could hold a microphone next to a piano.

"Ding~" Gong Cheng stood up and walked to the black and white piano keys, pressed a key, then turned his head and smiled at the girl beside him, "You will definitely be a love-brained person in the future - if this song can move you,
Promise me you won’t marry a man who is less moved than this song.”

The girl nodded frantically, her head pounding like garlic, but then quickly waved her hands, her face blushing as she held up the microphone. "No, Oppa, I want to marry you." She stood up from the round table and took off her denim jacket. Her petite figure was wrapped in a plain white dress, and beneath her tightly-tied bun, her carefully dressed face blinked earnestly and shyly.

Gong Cheng turned around and the big screen projected that beautiful face. He smiled and confirmed, "Very beautiful!"

Then he laughed even louder. "But you still have to study hard and make progress every day. Ah, it feels like I haven't heard this sentence in a long time, so I'm giving it to you."

"Oppa, what song is that?"

Under the eager gazes of his fans, Gong Cheng loosened his collar, turned sideways to face the audience, and sat down next to the black silk piano.

Following his action, the lighting technician immediately turned off the lights in the venue. Spotlights enveloped his tall figure, and the bright and dark white light flickered on Gong Cheng's cheeks. He smiled warmly and said,

"This song was written during a special period last year, and things weren't going as planned..."

"But when I landed yesterday, I saw you guys waiting to greet me at the airport, and I received an 'expensive letter' at the hotel..."

As he spoke, he pulled out the heart-shaped envelope from last night. Gong Cheng pointed to the back of the heart and whispered to the fans in the audience, "Please open my heart layer by layer, Tarot."

"And the phrase 'Be happy forever Gong Cheng' in the Bund night sky"

"..."

"Actually, in the original version of the lyrics, I wanted to vent in the song and sing about fighting against rumors, but last night I didn't feel that way anymore, so I changed the lyrics."

When the prelude of the song sounded quietly in everyone's ears, on the projection of the big screen, Gong Cheng's slender fingers lightly pressed on the black and white keys, as if gently plucking the heartstrings of the fans.

"I've been through a sudden storm, so I hope this song can be used to witness our mutual growth. It's called 'Definitely Will', and it's for you and for me."

A series of soothing piano notes lingered in every corner of the venue. Gong Cheng has always been good at quickly drawing the audience into the atmosphere during the prelude of the song. The staff in the audience, holding cameras, recorded the figures on the stage and the excited faces in the audience.

Finally it’s not a Korean or English song…

"Rain~ and the wind blew the umbrella away~"

"Surrounding you completely, eroding your hair and back~"

"Stubborn mouth~never let it droop~"

Fans listened to the singing around their ears, no longer just through headphones and receivers, but instead the warm and lazy voice was close at hand. Many people recognized this song as different from Gong Cheng's previous songs.

There is less sadness or passion, but more restraint and calmness. The delicate piano melody creates a warm and healing atmosphere under the keys of his fingers.

"You said someone was covered in scars~"

"Why are you frowning when you're only getting wet~"

"If you're so discouraged that you easily say you regret it~"

Sitting beside the piano, Gong Cheng, like an old friend, slowly began to tell a story about "The Storm" on the quiet stage, and inadvertently made people intoxicated by it.

"Guilty as a thief~"

Gong Cheng stopped playing the piano, took off the microphone, and walked to the edge of the stage.

"The rain never lets anyone go~Have you had enough~"

"The world is so tired~ Is it still beautiful~ Is it still magnificent~"

"I'll keep my feathers for now and wait for my flight. I'll definitely fly when the time comes."

"As expected~ It doesn't matter where I go with you~"

"Bang!" At the edge of the stage, the moment Gong Cheng finished singing the lyrics, a burst of colorful streamers erupted from the floor and flew toward the audience. Gu Qing, the planner in the waiting area, smiled and applauded.

The corners of his serious eyes, covered with gold-rimmed glasses, were misty. The ejected ribbons were something he and Gong Cheng had discussed, but the moment he heard this song, he couldn't help but shed tears.

In fact, she was also Arcana - the mobile phone she was using to record the boy on the stage had a white invoice stored in the transparent phone case on the back.

Gu Qing didn't expect it to be so magical. Her planning proposal for Gong Cheng's first fan meeting after returning to China was finally approved, and she was responsible for all the processes and arrangements of the meeting.

And last night at Haidilao near the Bund, they were lucky enough to have run into each other before. Although the boy on the stage didn't know that the person who left the envelope last night was her.

"Have you heard~Have you seen~"

"The rain has stopped because of the tears of happiness~"

"It will definitely be the most valuable~"

"I will definitely fly with you~"

After the song ended, Gong Cheng smiled casually, only to find that many fans in the audience were covering their mouths, tears welling in their red eyes, and waving their cheering signs vigorously in their hoarse voices.

"After returning to Seoul, this song will be released as soon as possible." The lights on the stage came on again, and Gong Cheng sat back on the sofa next to the round table.

"Oppa, why don't you not go back to Seoul? It's so nice to stay in the country~ It's been a year since our debut, and this is the first time we meet." The girl who originally clamored to marry him,
She puckered her lips in grievance for him and pleaded cautiously. As a veteran Arcana, she naturally knew what the song "Definitely" was about: the so-called unsatisfactory times and sudden storms.

Maybe it was his debut last year? Just like the controversy this boy caused at Paris Fashion Week a few days ago, he clearly did nothing wrong, yet he was still immediately subjected to online abuse.

It was a rare opportunity to go on stage, and she wanted to comfort "Tarot" and say something encouraging, "Keep going! Don't be afraid! We will always support you!"

But now, how did this song become about this boy comforting us? How did it all get reversed?

"Stay! Stay!"

"Stay, Oppa!"

"Return to China for development!"

The countless fans in the audience who echoed him made Jin Dae-woo tremble all over. There was a translator next to him. When he heard that this group of fans were "persuading" Gong Cheng to stay in China, he wanted to rush up and interrupt the fan meeting.

However, regardless of the arguments, Gong Cheng's decision was personal, and even he or the company couldn't stop it. Besides, he knew this brat's character, and he wouldn't be like "Runaway".

"We have to fulfill the contract first." Gong Cheng picked up the microphone and did not answer the question about whether to stay or leave.

In an instant, a judgment was made.

Many fans still support his decision, while many fans lowered their heads in disappointment.

……

The meeting came to the next game session. The staff came up with an opaque cardboard box with a lot of notes stuffed inside.

After the staff explained the rules of this "game," the fans and Gong Cheng finally understood. Inside the cardboard box on the round table were five hundred numbers, ranging from "1," "2," "..." to "500."

Gong Cheng can draw 50 numbers from them and give a Polaroid camera to each person with the corresponding number, a total of 50 cameras.

After the rules of the game were explained, many of the "Arkana" in the audience became a little discouraged, because there were thousands of fans in the entire venue, and the numbers 1-500 had already screened out a large part of the fans.

Even if the lucky winner has a one in ten chance, they can only be selected from the first 500 fans who enter the venue, and those of them with numbers at the back have no chance at all.

For a moment, many fans in the audience felt a little discouraged. Gong Cheng, who was sitting on the sofa, saw this scene, thought for a moment, picked up the microphone and suggested, "If I can draw number 422, can I give one to every fan in the audience?"

Amid the ecstatic gazes of all the fans, Gong Cheng stood up and said, "Wait a minute." He came to the stage and asked the person in charge of counting the fans who attended the meeting. There were a total of 1231 fans.

Then he switched to Korean and communicated with Jin Daewoo for a while, "Ani, Daewoo, please inform the company. If it's not possible, I will pay for it myself."

Under the shocked gazes of many staff members, Gong Cheng roughly understood that the Polaroid camera given by the organizer, the min7 released in 11, currently costs about 500 RMB, about 1200 units, and about 60 yuan.

Personally, he can afford it. Since receiving his share of the company's profits last year, he hasn't had any major expenses. He wanted to buy a property for his adoptive parents, but they haven't agreed, so that's on hold.

Although 60 is a lot, the drone swarm on the Bund last night and the electronic LEDs on the major buildings in the city center also cost a lot of money.

"Asi! Don't rush to pay for it yourself. I will report to the president. Anyway, just do it according to your idea." Jin Dayu nodded. Gong Cheng brought a lot of profits and stock price increases to the company.

He felt that as long as the senior executives were not crazy, they would pay the money readily.

Gong Cheng returned to the stage and met the nervous gazes of the fans in the audience. He smiled and made an "OK" gesture.

"Oppa, you're not going to pay for it yourself, are you? Then I don't want it..."

"That's right, Oppa~ I can only spend your money if you call me wife~"

"..."

Gong Cheng pulled a high chair, and seeing that Jin Dae-woo went out to make a phone call, he slowed down and sat at the edge of the stage to chat with the fans below.

"Money doesn't matter. I actually make a lot of money. Do you think I'm an artist who doesn't make money?"

"But you've only debuted for a year, Oppa. Shouldn't you get a lot of profit in the first year? And JYP is so stingy." A girl with a Taiwanese accent spoke in a coquettish voice in the audience.

"Oppa, how about I pay you the money? I have a lot of money too." A girl sitting in the first row of the audience stood up and said, wearing an expensive skirt and clothes, it was obvious that she was a little girl from a wealthy family.

Gong Cheng remembered her, the little girl who insisted on holding his hand to give him a gift when entering the venue. From the gift alone, it was clear that the girl's family was not ordinary, but he still did not accept the gift.

He remembered that inside the gift box was a men's diamond ring. Gong Cheng recognized the brand, a major European or American brand, the latest series of rings full of diamonds, which cost 30 RMB. It was a bit too extravagant.

"Huh? You can't do that." Gong Cheng smiled as he looked at the girl who was less than a meter away from him. Then he smiled at everyone and said as if he was complaining,
"Actually, you're right. Jinyoung is really stingy! But I'm different. Let me tell you something. Everyone in the company calls me some kind of JYP prince."

"Haha, so the company will pay for this, don't worry. And besides being a bit stingy, Brother Zhenying is a very good person."

"Really, Oppa, you're so awesome at JYP?"

"Of course, I'm a singer who topped the B charts. I'm pretty awesome, okay? Do you like me just because I'm handsome?" Gong Cheng smiled and joked with the fan who asked the question.

There were laughter and cheers in the meeting room. After a while, Jin Dayu ran up and nodded, indicating that the company would pay the money.

"Okay, let's start? Remember number 422! But the staff said we only have 5 chances." Gong Cheng got down from the high chair and stood up straight, rolling up his shirt sleeves, looking eager to try.

"Ah~ Why does Oppa only have 5 chances~"

"It's too little! We need to protest to the organizers!"

"Why is it number 422, Oppa! I am number 422, wuwuwu~"

"..."

After hearing that Oppa’s company would pay for it, they felt at ease hoping that Oppa would give them the Polaroid camera personally, as it wasn’t Oppa’s money that they were spending!

"Ah, why do you have so little faith in me? I've always had good luck, believe me."

Gong Cheng pouted unconvincedly and walked to the round table. He looked at the sealed and opaque mailbox and answered the fans' questions, "Yes, because you are number 422. You are very cute.
Most importantly, today is the first time I've met you all since my debut. April 22nd is a day worth remembering."

As he spoke, he took out the first piece of paper from the mailbox window and read the number on it with some disappointment, "Number 211."

The second time, "No. 365."

"Huh~ Three times the limit, I'm sure I'll get number 422 this time!" Gong Cheng's face, projected on the big screen, was also a bit nervous and uneasy. It was really hard to win! When he spread the paper in his palm, "Number 421."

"Ahhhhh~"

Many fans in the audience felt their hearts lift and couldn't help but scream when they saw the first two digits, but after seeing the last digit, they all lowered their heads and began to sigh.

Only 2 chances left.

It is indeed difficult to draw the only number among 500 numbers. Gong Cheng couldn't help but become cautious. He lay on the mailbox and looked inside through the window.

It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. Then he smiled embarrassedly at the staff below the stage and said, "This chance doesn't count. Let's try again." He stuffed the note he had read back into the mailbox.

"Tarot, we can't do this..."

Planner Gu Qing, who was standing at the edge of the stage, said this with a wry smile, but she really hoped that Gong Cheng could draw the number "422". Aren't those excited and fascinated fans in the audience just like her?

"Come on, Oppa! We still have two chances, come on!" "We believe in you, Oppa!"

"Daddy!"

"Huai Ting!"

The cheers from the audience were mixed with some Japanese and Peninsula accents. They were all familiar faces. They would attend every offline meeting of Gong Cheng, although Gong Cheng had not held many.

Gong Cheng nodded, feeling a little stressed, and then picked up the box and shook it, the fourth time!
"Number 167!"

The fifth time, "No. 71..."

Five chances, all used up. Strictly speaking, Gong Cheng drew six chances in total. He felt deeply that he was unlucky today, and many fans in the audience felt sad.

"Can I draw 500 times?" Gong Cheng was a little shy and asked the planner.

Even though the company has agreed to pay the money, he can just wave his hand and tell his fans that it doesn't matter if they don't win, I will still give everyone a Polaroid camera.

Or he could cheat blatantly by writing the number 422 on a blank piece of paper and then pretending to take it out, but that would lack the feeling of "fate" and this part would be meaningless.

So Gong Cheng asked this question with the determination to draw 494 more times.

"500 times?" Jin Dae-woo, who was sitting in the audience, twitched his lips as he listened to the translator's words. "My God, you might as well just give it to me..."

Under the planner's amused and helpless gaze, the rules were relaxed again and Gong Cheng was given 5 more chances.

It immediately ignited the enthusiasm of thousands of fans in the audience. Gong Cheng took a deep breath, rubbed his nervous cheeks, and stood under the expectant gaze of the crowd.

The 7th time, "No. 410"

The 8th time, "No. 271"

The 9th time, "No. 111"

"..."

Many fans in the audience were a little desperate, wondering if this oppa was just unlucky. But seeing the boy on the stage who was even more disappointed than them, they couldn't help but shout,

"Oppa, it doesn't matter if you don't win~"

"Next step, Oppa~"

"Oppa, don't be sad, it's okay, it's okay..."

"..."

"There's one more chance." Gong Cheng shook the mailbox again, somewhat unconvinced, and drew a number. He clutched the slip and asked, "Do you all get to see it this time, or do I get to see it?"

"Oppa, come and see~"

"..."

"I'll come and see?" Gong Cheng nodded, put down the microphone and carefully unfolded the slip of paper. After seeing the number on it, he picked up the microphone and showed a distressed look to the fans in the audience.

"Miahneah..."

"Ah..." Many fans sighed in frustration, even thinking of the old saying, "What is destined to happen will happen, and what is not destined to happen should not be forced..."

No one expected that Gong Cheng would suddenly burst into laughter on the stage after hearing the sigh. He picked up the note in his hand, showed it to everyone, and shouted, "Number 422!"

"Number 422!!!"

Gong Cheng's happy smiling face was projected on the big screen. In his hand, a white piece of paper with the black number 422 was clearly visible to everyone.

“Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”

"Ahhhh!"

In an instant, thunderous screams and laughter erupted from the audience seats from the lowest to the highest levels in the venue.

……

Amid the ups and downs of screams, Jin Dae-woo in the audience couldn't help but applaud. As Gong Cheng's agent, he could see that this kid's smile came from the heart, but the time on the watch had reached 120 minutes due to delays in various links.

The originally scheduled 150-minute meeting often only had half an hour left. He knew that Gong Cheng on the stage was absolutely aware of the speed of time. After all, he was an artist, and in various programs and stages,
Jin Dae-woo thought about it and realized that Gong Cheng's schedule in China included not only today's meeting but also the Armani commercial he would be filming with Chinese actors tomorrow.

The time is not too tight and there is no conflict in the schedule, so just let him and the fans do it and extend the time of the meeting.

……

During the book signing session, Gong Cheng once again met Chen Lu, who had traveled thousands of miles to Seoul not long ago. After saying "See You", she left another "See You" today.

Sitting across from him now was the girl in the first row of seats off the stage who had been clamoring to buy him a Polaroid camera. She sat across from Gong Cheng with a diary in hand and said, "Oppa, I've prepared 101 reasons why I like you."

"You can choose 3 and I'll tell you~"

Gong Cheng nodded and looked at the number "7" on the girl's wrist. "Article 7."

"The seventh point is that Oppa's singing accompanied me through my 18 years."

"What about Article 66?"

"Oppa is very good at confusing people with his smiling eyes."

"Ah? How could that be?" Gong Cheng's warm eyes couldn't help but curl up upon hearing this reason. "What about the last one, number 101?"

The girl stared at Gong Cheng's face in a daze and closed her notebook. "Oppa, there's actually no Rule 101. There's no reason to like you. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you in your debut trailer."

She once again took out the gift that Gong Cheng had declined several times from her bag. The diamond-studded ring lay quietly in the black gift box. "So please accept the gift, Oppa."

"Can you please hold out your hand?" Gong Cheng's gentle eyes met hers, and he asked softly. The gift was too valuable, so he couldn't accept it. So after holding the girl's white and tender fingers, he took out the ring from the ring box and said softly, "I accept the gift."

"But..." He then changed the subject and looked at the excitement on the girl's delicate face, "Is it okay if I give it to you?"

As he spoke, he put the men's diamond ring on the girl's ring finger. The size was a bit big, and even though the ring size was not quite right, it still looked good under the sparkling light of the diamond.

"Oppa, wuwuwu~" The girl covered her mouth with one hand and couldn't help shedding tears, while the other hand with the diamond ring was still lying in Gong Cheng's large palm...

……

It was the 260th minute of the meeting, more than four hours had passed, but the fans in the audience were still cheering tirelessly and crazily. During the 260 minutes, Gong Cheng really shook hands with and interacted with every audience member in the audience.

They didn't know when the next meeting would be after this one: a month, a year?
The girl who had earlier held up the Tarot "I saved money for a year and finally got to see you" was already hugging the kawaii doll that looked like "Gong Cheng" and crying uncontrollably.

The emotional value that Gong Cheng brought to her made it worthwhile for her to save money for a year.

"Oppa, do you know how many albums I bought just to see you?"

In the audience, an Arcana cried and held Gong Cheng's hand, and stuffed the letter he had carefully prepared into his hand.

Gong Cheng paused, took out a tissue and wiped her tears. "How many? Is it a lot? 1?"

Many fans will buy a lot of albums in order to win the chance to attend autograph sessions. Some even buy them by the box in Seoul. There are many such fans of various artist groups.

"A full 967, Oppa." The girl said a terrifying number. She hugged Gong Cheng's arm and couldn't help but say, "So please hug me, Oppa."

Everyone’s luck is different. Some people can win the lottery with just one album, while others buy countless albums but still miss the winning message.

……

The final segment of the event arrived, and Gong Cheng walked back from the audience to the stage and sat down at the round table. He still had no idea what this high-tech tabletop was for.

But the moment he sat down on the sofa, the glass screen on the table and the large screen behind him slowly synchronized a series of images, which were reflected in front of everyone in the audience.

In Gong Cheng's constricted pupils, fragments of images emerged on the desktop screen. Smiling faces, waving vigorously at the camera, and the girl standing in the center of the crowd shouted through the screen, "Tarot~~~Welcome back~~~"

Then, a gray image and the date flashed across the screen: May 1, 2016, with the title "Tarot Fans Support Meeting."

A large group of fans spontaneously crowded into a park. Dozens of young and beautiful girls gathered together to film the video and cheered, "Tarot, keep going! We will always support you!"

The scene changed again, and the song "Fake Love" sounded. On the gray screen, the girls who were originally holding the "Tarot Fan Club" banner had long since become the "Tarot Club".

The hoarse singing voice and gloomy tones seemed to bring the emotions of everyone present back to last summer. Many faces in the fan seats appeared in the video, but compared to the "Tarot Fan Support Meeting", there were more people in the video.

The screen flashed across the scene of the "album burning" that shocked the entire internet last year under the JYP building. When the camera returned to the crowd at the "Tarot Fan Club", they were in the square, piling up the album "YDP" with the Three of Swords on the cover very high, "like a majestic emperor" standing in the sky.

"Oppa, when someone hurts you, someone else loves you..." In front of a platform stacked with albums, fans at the fan club shouted at the camera, "Oppa, don't be sad..."

"If you can't do it, then go back home, Oppa..."

"It's never fake love, Oppa."

"Keep walking on the flower path..."

The era of "Fake Love" has passed, and Bombardment Meteor has been formed. In the preview photo on JYP's official website, Gong Cheng's figure looking up at the starry sky is becoming more lonely, but also brilliant.

It seems to symbolize that the dazzling meteor is about to rise into the sky brilliantly.

No matter how many fragmented images flashed by, Gong Cheng used all his strength to stand on the major year-end award ceremony stage in Seoul, shouting word by word: "We Need More..."

In the frozen photo, he was sitting in a small composing room, his radiant smile making the dozens of trophies of various sizes, which symbolized honor, shine even more golden.

Gong Cheng stared at the video playing on the desktop carefully. The scenes flashing by in the video seemed to help him review his journey of one year since his debut, from loneliness and hardship to great glory, but he also saw the support behind it that he had never seen before.

On the big screen synchronized with the round table, a preview photo of Gong Cheng's first full-length album "Wheel of Fortune&X" flashed, followed by the release of the MV. The song landed at number one on all major music software and topped the B chart.

When each piece of data was broken down and laid out before him, Gong Cheng was a little dazed. He had never expected that he had come so far in just one year.

Jin Dae-woo, who was in the audience, was holding a handheld camera and peeing in her eyes. She couldn't help but glance at the planner next to her, but found that the expression of this female planner who always showed a capable image was exactly the same as his.

As the screen flashed, Gong Cheng’s Instagram interface appeared, with the Chinese message [We are not in a relationship where we cannot meet].

The comments are filled with overwhelming Chinese fonts, all from the same IP.

"Is Oppa going back home?"

"When will Oppa come to the domestic activities?"

"Are we finally meeting?"

"..."

Until JYP's official website announced [Our artist Tarot (Gong Cheng) will hold a fan meeting in Shanghai, China on April 22nd...]

The page faded away, and the screen once again showed excited faces. The date and time was the same day that JYP announced that Gong Cheng would be returning to Korea for a fan meeting.
Compared to last year when the camera was already overflowing, they were holding all kinds of cheering boards on the sunny lawn, shouting "Tarot" to the camera. One after another, Arcana's individual interviews were cut into the screen.

"I want to give Tarot all the beautiful words in the world..."

"Tarot, I want to give you all the love in the world..."

"Thanks for being a singer, Tarot!"

"Oppa, you really mean something special to me..."

"Your singing has become my support. I hope we can be together forever, Oppa."

"Let's keep walking together, Oppa. Let's keep walking on the flower path..."

"..."

Gong Cheng stood up and watched carefully what his fans far away in China did for him.

After the interview clips faded, at the end of the video, the date and time was yesterday, which was so close yet could not be returned. Outside Pudong Airport, in the pouring rain, colorful umbrellas waited in the wind and rain for a whole day.

Until the tall figure that they had been dreaming about walked out of the terminal and was enveloped by crackling flashes of light.

At the bottom of the video, a line of white subtitles appeared: "Tarot, you are even more dazzling than in the video and on the card."

A swarm of drones in the night sky played "Be happy forever Gong Cheng" next to the Oriental Pearl Tower. The video suddenly fell into darkness, and a simple line of words vibrated on the big screen and in Gong Cheng's heart.

〈372 days, we finally met〉

But the number of 372 days is constantly changing.

〈326 days, we finally met〉

〈287 days, we finally met〉

〈381 days, we finally met〉

〈… … 〉

The constantly trembling and changing numbers in the video were like surging hearts, beating vividly before Gong Cheng's eyes. At the moment when he lost consciousness -

There was a "bang" sound from the top of the stage, and silver paper flowers covered the sky like countless Arcana's love pouring down. In an instant, Gong Cheng was enveloped by the flying paper flowers, and the silver "rain curtain" surged, making his figure hazy and dreamy.

A silver rain made many fans and staff in the audience cover their mouths in shock.

Gong Cheng stood in the middle of it, with silver confetti flying like petals. He saw clearly that the so-called silver paper flowers were the silver sticky notes that fans had written on mailbox after mailbox before entering the venue, and the silver-gray color was his support color.

The sticky notes dancing in the air, either horizontally or vertically, falling slowly or quickly, with different handwritings, connected this love that was like silver rain. He clearly saw what was written on a sticky note in front of him.

Falling in love with you makes me happier than you are

The love written on it felt like a thousand pounds to Gong Cheng, but when it fell, it landed lightly on his body, causing no pain. He looked up at the silver sticky notes still falling from the ceiling, each with a different handwriting, representing one Arcana after another...

Jin Dae-woo grunted twice, wiped his tears, and quickly squatted under the stage. The camera was aimed at Gong Cheng who was bathing in the sea of ​​flowers on the stage.

In the silvery "rain curtain", Gong Cheng held his head high. The tears of the girls in the audience and the love flying on the rooftops were like a heavy rain in his heart, even more violent than the rainstorm outside the venue that poured down on every corner of Shanghai.

The girls in the audience held up their cheering signs and cried out in tears, "Don't cry~"

"..."

Gong Cheng turned around and stood upright in the silver "rain curtain". His vision was a little blurry, but he continued to answer their questions with a smile.
"Ani, I haven't cried since I was seven..."

He really wanted to light a cigarette to dispel the dampness in his heart. As far as he could remember, he hadn't cried since he moved from Philadelphia to Seoul at the age of seven...

"..."

Jin Dae-woo held the camera and flipped through the photos he had just taken. He couldn't help but stare at the boy on the stage with a mixture of tears and laughter, whispering, "Why are you always so stubborn?"

In the photo, Gong Cheng's tall figure stood in a sea of ​​silver flowers, his head held high, his eyes vacant and misty - one of the silver sticky notes flying in the air happened to be frozen in time by the camera while it was still in mid-air.

In neat handwriting it was written:
