Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 109

Hyung, Am I Cute? 109

[Llew donated 10,000 won!]

[Can you one-shot Bell in a 1v1 infinite battle? If so, I’ll donate 100,000 won!]

Infinite Battle.

It refers to defeating the opponent as many times as possible within a time limit.

Even if you die, you quickly revive and start fighting again.

The person who defeats the most opponents wins.

It seems people are really curious about my skills.

Or maybe they’re making this offer because my skills are really low.

‘Maybe they’re just trying to liven up the atmosphere.’

They’re not missing this opportunity and suggesting missions.

Bell seemed interested and gave me a look to do it.

“I don’t know how you see me, but I can do this much. Let’s do it. Infinite Battle.”

“Okay. Then, as you wish, I, the combat power measuring device, will test it out.”

That’s how the game officially started.

We promised not to look at each other’s screens and placed our hands on the mouse and keyboard.

Siha might watch this video, so I couldn’t show a completely losing 모습 [moseup – appearance] for Hyung’s sake.

‘Let’s do our best.’

But I wasn’t too confident.

Because the person next to me was the best professional gamer in Korea.

The skill difference was immense.

Bell said with a voice full of laughter.

“No mercy?”

“Yes, go ahead.”

“Okay. Everyone, we’re going hard today. Please understand even if there’s no conversation.”

I glanced at the chat, and it was full of anticipation.

But there were also many messages cheering me on.

It felt like I was getting sympathy votes, but I figured anything was better than nothing.

Bang!

“Ugh!”

My HP [Health Points] was significantly reduced by a shot from an unknown direction.

I quickly hid behind a building.

Considering the area I was hit, I could predict the direction it came from.

But every sniper has a common move.

If their location is revealed, they quickly move to reposition.

I realized that after getting hit again.

Bang.

My character died and revived.

Bell, who had already gotten 1 kill, leisurely played music.

[A gun that doesn’t hit. Kills that don’t increase.]

“Ugh! Why are you playing that song?”

“It’s on infinite repeat.”

“Ahem. This really won’t do.”

The song came on at the perfect timing, and the chat was once again filled with ‘ㅋㅋㅋ’ [kkk – equivalent to ‘lol’ or ‘haha’ in Korean] and ‘lol’.

If you’re going to be so relaxed, I have a plan too.

I just haven’t warmed up yet.

I really just haven’t warmed up.

I needed an adjustment period for the game after so long.

‘They must have moved from there.’

I quietly recalled the map.

According to my information, Bell is a long-range dealer.

They definitely know the buildings that are good for setting up.

But this is a 1v1 battle.

It was different from just a long-range battle.

‘I do remember the play that Well from China used to do.’

I realized that I needed a lot of predictions while playing the game.

Where the opponent will move, or how they will act, what their favorite plays are.

Bell’s favorite thing is prediction.

They liked to 몰이 사냥 [mol-i sanyang – herding hunt], 몰아서 공격 [mol-aseo gonggyeok – attacking by herding].

But Well from China responded with his unique reaction speed.

‘The strategy is to get just 1 kill. If so…’

If I’m careful about the head, I can withstand a shot or two.

‘Let’s just hit one shot.’

I shouldn’t try to beat Bell in this infinite battle.

The goal is to get the donation.

And to at least show that I’m not 밀리지 않는 모습 [milliji anneun moseup – a non-losing appearance].

‘Then…….’

I quickly started to think.

I deliberately exposed my character on the road to find Bell, who I didn’t know where they were.

As expected, Bell attacked.

Only then could I figure out Bell’s location.

Bang.

A gunshot rang out. HP decreases. The location is revealed, and I move again.

I didn’t shoot and just watched which way the opponent’s character’s head was turning.

I moved in the opposite direction of the head.

‘Turning the head is a bluff.’

I remember that Bell plays to confuse predictions by deliberately showing it.

In reality, the probability is 50/50.

But I was also confident that they wouldn’t twist and deceive me one more time while facing me so leisurely.

I went up the building and turned around.

‘Found you.’

I picked up the gun and attacked.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bell evaded with a quick reaction speed.

But I could see that their HP had decreased, whether they had taken a hit.

I shot, shot again, and charged. I kept shooting at the body as if I had caught an opportunity.

Bell showed an artistic play that made the attacks miss with minimal movements.

That’s when it happened.

‘Hmm?’

Was it because I was too focused?

All the movements of the opponent’s character, dodging while occasionally shooting, slowed down.

A clearly visible situation.

I felt like I was seeing from above and accurately aimed the gun.

Bang!

I hit Bell’s character’s head and got 1 kill.

“Hoo!”

I suddenly felt dizzy and covered my eyes with my hand.

This feeling. I’ve felt it before.

I felt it when Meltz’s car rushed to hit Siha and me.

At that time, time seemed to have stopped, but now it was a much lower ability.

It just felt like my dynamic visual acuity was a little better than usual.

‘Is the feeling from that time still in my body?’

I heard Bell’s voice in my ear.

“Wow! Amazing! I was completely tricked by this play. Your skill isn’t silver. Are you moved by getting 1 kill?”

I took my hand off my eyes and smiled.

“A little. I thought I wouldn’t even get 1 kill because your skills are so good.”

“This means you’re not a troll. You’re skilled enough. That’s how I feel. Everyone, you think so too after seeing that play, right?”

[Llew donated 100,000 won!]

[Getting 1 killㅋㅋㅋ 힘순찐ㅋㅋ] [him-sun-jjin – someone who looks weak but is actually strong]

I smiled at that.

“힘순찐 [him-sun-jjin]? Who’s really hiding…….”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Didn’t you notice after seeing that ID?”

“What?”

“If you reverse that ID, it’s well.”

“Huh? Ah, really?”

“But I have a question. Can you watch streaming TV from China? Hey, Well?”

The chat was buzzing.

They were curious if it was really Well.

He gave the answer with a donation.

[Llew donated 1,000 won!]

[Bye Bye]

It was Well from China, who left in a hurry, probably embarrassed.

I don’t know if he came in through a detour or from another country.

Anyway, he got caught.

“Wow! It must have been really Well. Let’s keep this between us. Haha.”

The chat was in an uproar, laughing.

Then another donation came in.

[2241111 donated 1,000 won!]

[If you go to Platinum on the spot, 100,000 won!]

I glanced at the time.

It had already been over an hour.

It would probably take all day to go from Gold to Platinum.

“That would be difficult. Someone is waiting for me.”

-Girlfriend?

-It’s a girlfriend

“Someone better than a girlfriend. I have a younger sibling. He’s 3 years old and will be waiting for me at daycare.”

“Wow. 3 years old is so cute.”

“Well, yeah.”

I felt good thinking about Siha.

A happy smile came out naturally.

Bell said.

“You must like him a lot.”

“Yes. Today, he was so insistent on wearing the same clothes as me. That was cute too.”

“But the translator doesn’t know what your expression is like when you talk about your younger sibling, right?”

“Huh? Is it weird?”

“No. You’re smiling like a dad. Your expression is completely relaxed? When you first turned on the broadcast, you seemed a little nervous.”

“Really?”

I thought I did really well naturally, but that wasn’t the case.

“Since this is your first time doing this kind of broadcast, there was an awkwardness, and it felt like you were doing work? A professional look?”

“Ah…….”

“But when you talk about your younger sibling, your face completely relaxes, which is nice to see. Should I say it’s a face that’s easier to approach? That’s the feeling.”

Everyone in the chat agreed.

Siha must be the best thing for relaxing my expression.

“Haha. I care a lot about my younger sibling. Anyway, I don’t think I can play the game until Platinum.”

“That’s what he says. Shall we play hard then?”

“Let’s do it.”

[2241111 donated 1,000 won!]

[How do you play with your younger sibling?]

I wondered what this person was again.

I was going to ignore it, but suddenly something bothered me.

I carefully looked at the ID.

“Hey. 2241111. Are you Well?”

“Huh? Why is Well suddenly coming out?”

“If you put the numbers in order of the alphabet, 22 is W, 4 is E, 11 is L.”

“Huh? If you add them all up, it’s well? Wow!”

[2241111 has left.]

-엌ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [eokㅋㅋㅋ – another Korean expression similar to ‘lol’]

-It was realㅋㅋㅋ

-How did you knowㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Well has a smurf accountㅋㅋㅋㅋ [a smurf account is a secondary account used to play against less skilled players]

I just looked closely at the ID because the excessive interest in my younger sibling was strange.

But did he know that Siha was my younger sibling, not my son?

I missed the opportunity to correct it, but I should contact him later.

“Then let’s really play hard.”

I played the game and talked for the remaining time and ended the broadcast.

***

Meanwhile, Siha was showing off the same clothes as Hyung at daycare today.

“This. Same as Hyung.”

Originally, he wrote ‘같아 [gata – same]’ as ‘같이 [gachi – together]’, but thanks to Hyung constantly correcting him, he could say ‘가타 [gata – same]’.

“Wow! Your clothes are cool.”

“Siha, your clothes are 멋있다 [meositta – cool/stylish]!”

“Ah ah.”

Siha proudly stuck out his stomach.

He felt very good because he was praised for wearing the same clothes as Hyung.

Hana said.

“Hana wants to wear these clothes too.”

“Ah?”

“Same clothes as Siha 오빠 [oppa – older brother/male friend, used by females]. Hehehe.”

Hana smiled shyly with both hands on her cheeks.

Seungjun looked at Hana and then at Siha.

“I want to wear a soccer uniform!”

“Ah ah.”

Siha didn’t know what it was, but he nodded.

“Lisa. Lisa!”

“Huh?”

“Lisa. Clothes. Ta-da!”

He was roughly showing off that Lisa could make clothes.

Of course, no one understood.

Then Jongsu came and showed off his clothes too.

“My clothes are designer! It’s expensive!”

Siha tilted his head, looking at Jongsu, who was excellent at self-promotion.

The children didn’t know the concept of a designer yet.

But they had an eye for pretty clothes and how to wear them well.

Even though it was daycare, it was the first social experience and a group where relationships were formed.

It was natural to be interested in Siha’s fashion.

Interest and popularity arise depending on how well you dress.

A well-dressed child has a certain flair.

Jongsu’s mom was always 고민하는 부분 [gominhaneun bubun – a point of concern] when choosing clothes for her child to go to daycare with that thought in mind.

It meant not being looked down upon anywhere.

Of course, Jongsu didn’t know that.

“How is it! Cool, right?”

“Ah ah. 머시써 [meosisseo – cool/stylish].”

“Really? You’re cool too.”

“Ah ah. Thank you~”

Siha politely accepted Jongsu.

Then Jaehwi, one of Jongsu’s group, looked closely at Siha.

“Hey!”

“Ah?”

“You know a little about fashion?”

Siha didn’t know what he was talking about and tilted his head.

He knew the name of the child in front of him.

“Jaehi?”

“Huh? You know my name? I thought you only knew 요 애들 [yo aedeul – these kids].”

“Know. Jaehi.”

Jaehwi, who was called by name, pouted.

Just like Jongsu was a 자랑하는 성격 [jaranghaneun seonggyeok – boastful personality], Jaehwi was a child who had great pride in one thing.

That’s fashion!

He had been extremely interested in clothes since he picked up the thread at his 돌잔치 [doljanchi – first birthday party].

He liked wearing them and liked seeing the envious eyes looking at him.

But when he saw Siha wearing quite a bit, he became interested.

“Where did you buy those clothes?”

“Lisa!”

“Is Lisa the name of the clothing store?”

“No. Lisa! Ta-da!”

“No…. What is that…….”

Like this. Like this.

Siha imitated the scene of putting in the banding.

With the sound of sewing.

“Doo doo doo doo. Ta-da!”

“What. You don’t want to tell me for free? I see. Then how about this? I’ll tell you if I have good clothes too.”

Siha didn’t know why he couldn’t understand and tilted his head.

The teacher who saw that thought to herself.

‘Siha. That way of speaking only works for Hyung…. Say a little more…….’
