Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 327

Hyung, am I cute? Episode 327

Choosing ingredients for the army stew is a simple game, but it reveals the children’s personalities.

In a way, it’s a so-called friendship game.

You have to pick what others haven’t.

Siha is excessively choosing everything.

The director is troubled by it because Siha, with his hands gathered, is too cute.

He’s the type to negotiate.

The other kids didn’t know how to negotiate.

But Siha seems to know how to do this too, having seen his hyung do it.

“Hmm. This is difficult. How much do you have?”

“It’s a secret. Secret.”

“Oho.”

He doesn’t reveal his cards easily.

Maybe he just wants to play a secret game.

The director held up two fingers.

“Then, even if you can’t have everything, I’ll give you 5 for 20,000 won [approximately $15 USD]. How about that?”

“I’ll come again. Give me a discount.”

“Today is the last day for business.”

“!!!”

If it’s the last day for business, he can’t come again.

Siha’s plan is blocked.

Inevitably, he decided to back down.

“Okay. I’ll take 5.”

“Good choice. Now, pick your ingredients.”

“Director. This is a secret.”

“Yeah.”

“What didn’t they pick?”

The director chuckled.

Siha, aren’t you trying to get away with too much?

“I can’t tell you that.”

“No. Director. Siha likes being full. So tell me.”

“Huh?”

If you say that, I have no choice but to tell you.

The director chose the 5 items that the children hadn’t picked.

Seungjun, who was watching from the side, puffed out his stomach and looked proud.

Hey, Seungjun? Why are you making that face?

He seems proud of his friend Siha.

Those two are really funny kids.

“Okay, is that all?”

“Thank you~ I’ll come again.”

“I told you, today is the last day for business.”

“No. I’m coming to see the director.”

“Oh my!”

The director covered her mouth with her hand.

Siha, where did you learn those lines?

I don’t think the daycare taught you that? Did you learn it from your hyung [older brother or close male friend]?

Having moved the director, Siha came out triumphantly.

Seungjun next to him also walked with vigor.

“Oppa [term used by girls to address older brothers or male friends], what did you pick?”

“Want to know?”

“Yeah. Ah! Teacher. Can you tell us now?”

When the teacher nodded, Seungjun said.

“But I won’t tell you everything. I’ll tell you how many we bought. We bought 5. So we don’t have much money left.”

“Wow! Oppa bought 5?”

“Siha wants to buy 5 and eat them together.”

“Siha is awesome!”

Siha puffed out his stomach and put his hands on his hips.

“My hyung is cool!”

“???”

Siha’s hyung bragging suddenly appears.

Perhaps he’s saying he imitated his hyung’s coolness.

At that moment, the director came out with the ingredients.

There seemed to be plenty to put in the army stew.

“Okay, shall we see what ingredients are going in?”

“Yes!”

“First, we’re adding ham.”

“Wow!”

Just making and waiting for the food is boring, but seeing what ingredients go in is also fun.

Teacher Yoo Dahee is using her time wisely.

It’s nothing special, but she made this game and made the children excited.

“Oh my! There are friends who chose ham again. More ham.”

“Wow!”

More ham was added, but the children liked it.

Ham is always right.

“Next is mushrooms! Healthy and good vegetables!”

“Aww.”

As expected, vegetables were not popular.

Yoon Dong’s face drooped slightly. He seemed disappointed.

He thought about what the children wouldn’t pick and chose it, but the reaction wasn’t good.

“Siha likes mushrooms!”

“Oh, really?”

Pat!

Yoon Dong’s face brightened slightly, and his head returned to its original position.

He gently approached Siha and tapped him on the head.

“Huh?”

Siha just tilted his head at Yoon Dong’s actions.

Eunwoo, who was next to Yoon Dong, was singing an incomprehensible song, ‘Hyung, expensive mushrooms!’

“Next is meat!”

“Hehehehe!”

Hana made it obvious that she had chosen it.

The children all noticed.

“Hana chose it?”

“Oppa. Hana chose meat. No one else chose it, right?”

“Wow. That’s amazing!”

And they started boiling the rest of the ingredients that the Siha team had chosen.

Boil, boil.

When it was cooked to some extent, they skillfully added ramen noodles.

“Lastly, ramen!!!”

“Wow!”

In fact, these were ingredients that all the children couldn’t help but like.

When the food was ready, they took bowls and distributed them to the children.

A bowl of rice and army stew is all you need.

“Okay, it’s hot, so be careful when you eat.”

“Yes! Thank you for the food!”

The children blow on it and eat well.

Ham and minced meat are placed on top of white rice.

They take a big bite and scoop up the soup and slurp it.

Munch, munch.

Siha’s cheeks were so full they looked like they would burst.

The teacher smiled as she watched the children eating well.

“Teacher Dahee, you should eat too.”

“Yes!”

You have to eat with the children when they eat.

Otherwise, there’s no time.

***

After dinner, they quietly watched a movie.

The teacher can take a breather during these times.

She leisurely drinks a cup of coffee and watches the children.

The air is silent as they forget to even swallow their saliva, enjoying the animation.

When a funny scene comes on, they laugh together.

The director is drinking coffee and watching the children, then turns to Teacher Yoo Dahee.

“What’s left after this ends?”

“There’s time to light candles, say ‘I love you,’ and talk.”

“Hmm, hmm. After that, they can sleep, right?”

“That’s right.”

When the coffee is gone and the moisture dries up, it’s time to do the dishes, and the movie ends.

The children start talking about this and that, enjoying it.

Sharing the fun parts again is also a way to enjoy the movie.

“Everyone. Was it fun?”

“Yes!”

“Then it’s time for the candle of love!”

“???”

“Are you curious about what that is? First, look at this. Ta-da.”

She took out pretty LED candles.

Real candles are not used because the children could get hurt.

“Wow. Pretty!”

“Really pretty!”

It’s shining even brighter because the lights in the ceiling are off.

Today, they will hold this and listen to music while praising their loved ones.

To make it even more affectionate so they can have a good time when they sleep.

“Today, we’re going to have time to praise our friends. Praise is very important in life.”

“Yes!”

“Then, shall we all sit in a circle first?”

The children took their places and received candles one by one.

The circle of light was also great for taking pictures.

Click.

The director is stacking up photos to send to the parents.

Even if they can’t be there together, leaving photos is important for both the child and the parents because they can talk about and listen to the memories.

“Who wants to praise first?”

“Me!”

Seungjun came out first.

He looked at Siha.

“Siha is good at drawing and is cool.”

“That’s right. That’s right. Siha is hyung’s dongsaeng [younger brother or close male friend].”

The teacher told the person who praised to say ‘I love you’ and hug.

Seungjun hugged Siha and shouted ‘I love you’.

Next is Hana.

“Yeonju is so pretty. She’s also kind.”

“Thank you. I love you.”

“I love you.”

The children started praising each other, talking about their teammates.

Siha also praised Seungjun.

“Seungjun is good at soccer. He’s also good at baseball. He’s also good at basketball. And. And.”

All the sports he knows are mobilized.

Seungjun showed a satisfied smile.

Siha’s praise didn’t end with just Seungjun.

“Jongsu is smart. And. And. Ooh. And. And. Ooh. And. And. Ooh.”

“Hey, Lee Siha! I said so much about Seungjun, but why can’t you think of anything else for me!”

“No. Wait. Siha will think about it!”

“That’s enough! I’m not going to listen anymore.”

“Jongsu is. Smart.”

“You said that already.”

“Ooh. Ddeok-ddeokhae [Korean slang for ‘smart’ or ‘clever’]?”

“Hey! Stop it!”

“I love you~”

Not thinking of anything, he hugged him and shouted ‘I love you’.

Jongsu had a somewhat uneasy expression.

He was clearly praised, but why doesn’t he feel good? Why does he always feel like he’s being taken advantage of?

That question remained in his mind.

“Okay, everyone. There may be friends you didn’t think of much. Next time, let’s find more of those friends’ strengths and praise them more.”

People are good at finding flaws.

But it’s hard to find strengths.

In some ways, there are personality aspects that can be strengths rather than weaknesses.

The teacher hoped that the children would become people who could tell even the smallest strengths rather than easily finding flaws.

“Now it’s time for the teacher’s ‘I love you’ time. Come on~! Into the teacher’s arms!”

Teacher Yoo Dahee hugged the children one by one and whispered, “I love you!”.

The director did the same.

The children liked the warm teacher’s arms.

They also liked the words ‘I love you’.

The orange candlelight added to the warm atmosphere.

If they went to sleep cherishing these precious moments, it wouldn’t be scary.

“That’s all for today’s fun games. Shall we all get ready to sleep?”

“Yes!”

The children spread out their bedding.

Before they knew it, it was night, so they had to sleep.

“Everyone, let’s wash up and go to bed!”

The children all brushed their teeth and washed their faces.

They put on their pajamas and lay down to get ready to sleep when the teacher’s phone rang.

“Oh? It’s Si-hyuk?”

“Ah?”

Siha, who was lying on the pillow in the distance, jumped up.

The twins next to him did the same.

They ran to the teacher and clung to her legs.

“Teacher. Is it hyung? Hyung?”

“Oh? Yes. It is. Just a moment.”

The teacher answered the phone.

“Hello.”

「Hello. This is Lee Si-hyuk.」

“Yes. I know. Did you arrive safely?”

「Of course. Is it night there? It’s afternoon here.」

“Yes. We’re getting ready to sleep now.”

The time difference between Sweden and Korea is 7 hours.

Where Si-hyuk is, the sun is shining brightly.

“Hyung. Hyung.”

Siha called out eagerly.

The teacher had no choice but to hand the phone to Siha.

“Hyung.”

「Wow. Siha. Is it time to sleep now?」

“Yeah. Siha is going to sleep now.”

「Wow. That’s great. Siha is sleeping without hyung.」

“I’m sleeping with my friends here. So it’s fun.”

「That’s a relief.」

“But Siha misses hyung.”

Si-hyuk paused for a moment and composed himself.

「Hyung misses Siha too. I’ll finish work quickly and go. Okay?」

“Hyung.”

「Yeah?」

“Siha will be sleeping. Come tomorrow.”

「Yeah. I’ll try. But I might arrive tomorrow when Siha is sleeping. So you have to sleep without waiting?」

“Okay. Siha will take good care of Hyung Baekdong.”

「Pfft.」

Baek Dong-hwan was suddenly put in Siha’s care.

Si-hyuk was curious where he learned such words.

“Hyung. I love you.”

「Yeah. Hyung too. I’ll finish quickly and go, so sleep well.」

“Okay. Come quickly.”

The call ended.

In the teacher’s opinion, Siha was more mature than she thought.

Even though he must be anxious being apart.

Maybe it’s because he has friends next to him.

“Ah! I wanted to talk to Si-hyuk hyung too.”

“Hana wanted to talk to Si-hyuk oppa too.”

“Everyone. It’s time to sleep. Everyone lie down.”

The teacher clapped her hands, but the children didn’t want to sleep.

They listened well to spreading out their bedding and washing up, but that’s as far as it goes.

The children still have a lot of energy.

“Hahaha. Let’s play more!”

Seungjun kicked his soccer pillow.

It hit Jongsu’s face, who was standing up.

“Ouch!”

“Ahahaha.”

“Hey. Oh Seungjun!”

Jongsu got angry and threw the pillow at Seungjun.

But Seungjun sat down and dodged it.

Thud!

A sound followed.

Hana was hit.

“Jongsu, you!”

A pillow fight was about to begin.

Siha smiled at the sight.

“Exciting!”

It was an atmosphere where the other children would not feel lonely tonight and would get through it well.

The teacher thought it was a relief, but on the other hand, she wondered whether she should watch this situation or not.

Kids. It’s already night!

It seemed that the pajama party was better known to the children than to the teacher.

***

At that moment, Si-hyuk in Sweden.

Before the meeting with VUMAX.

“Ugh. I have to finish work quickly and go! What time is the fastest flight?”

“Why? What’s wrong?”

“Siha said he misses me. He must be spending the night crying. Oh, what should I do? I made him too lonely!”

“Isn’t it too much to worry about just one night?”

“President. It doesn’t matter if it’s one day or two days. This affectionate heart is what’s important.”

“Okay! I was wrong. As expected! Our company’s ace employee! Once the contract is over, leave everything to me! I’ll enjoy it for your share!”

Park Hansoo thumped his chest.

Si-hyuk somehow found that figure annoying.

But more important than walking around Sweden is seeing Siha.

However, Si-hyuk didn’t know.

How much fun Siha is having right now.
