Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 410

“Hyung [older brother or close male friend], aren’t I cute?” Episode 410 (410/500)

“Uncle. We have to watch the movie. The movie.”

Yesterday, I fibbed that Uncle went to the premiere, so Siha kept insisting we had to watch the movie.

Well, he didn’t actually see it, so it’s technically true.

“I’m not the type to go to the movies alone.”

“Why?”

“It’s no fun by myself. It’s fun when we all watch together. Right, Siha?”

“Maja!” [Korean for “That’s right!”]

I guess he’s the type who doesn’t enjoy going to the movies alone.

Actually, I think he’s just too lazy to go to the movies in the first place.

He should have just come with us to the premiere.

“Uncle. Uncle. Then, should Siha find someone to go with?”

“No. I can go with you, Siha.”

“Siha already saw it.”

“Then watch it again. Should Uncle go to the movies alone?”

“Uncle. You have to watch the movie. Siha is in it.”

“And if you’re not in it, I don’t have to watch it?”

“Maja.”

“So, you’ll go with me?”

“Siha saw it.”

Uncle looked at Siha with a ‘What’s up with this kid?’ expression.

I have to watch the movie I’m in, but I can’t go with you. Instead, I’ll find someone to watch it with you.

That’s what he’s conveying.

It’s really funny when I think about it like that, isn’t it?

Let me offer some support.

“Baek Dong-hwan said he hasn’t seen it either, so we can buy tickets together and go see it.”

“What? That musclehead?”

“Yes. No, don’t call him a musclehead!”

“Hey. Still, it’s a little weird to go with a guy.”

“It’s not weird at all?”

“Going with him is a bit much!”

It might look a bit strange. Then, how about going with the others? Like the Kyung Trio.

It hasn’t been released for long, so there are tons of people who haven’t seen it.

All the recent reservations are probably full, right? Then, it might take some time.

“Let’s just watch it together again. Siha.”

“Siha will go with Hyung then. If it’s with Hyung, I’ll watch it again.”

“Why am I excluded? I’m not allowed, but Hyung is?”

“Uncle. It’s Hyung.”

“It’s not some magic word.”

Uncle turned around on the sofa, sulking for no reason.

“I’m not going to the movies.”

“Uncle is pwetty mad?”

“Yeah. I’m sulking. I’m not going. I’m not going.”

“Uncle has to watch Siha.”

“I don’t have to?”

“Why? You have to watch Siha!”

“Siha’s face must look like a steamed bun [a cute way to describe someone’s chubby cheeks].”

“No. Siha is not a steamed bun!”

Uncle turned around again and smiled.

Then, he shook his index finger from side to side.

“And Uncle will watch it here at home.”

“!!!”

“Movies, you know. Eventually, you can watch them on TV here.”

“Really?”

“Of course. But it’ll take a while.”

“How long?”

“About 3 months? No, 4 months?”

“How many times do I have to sleep?”

“You have to sleep more than 100 nights.”

“No way! Too slow!”

That’s true. But Uncle smiled at Siha.

It seems like he’s going to keep teasing him.

“Uncle is already one with this sofa. I’ll watch it slowly, very, very slowly on TV!”

“Uncle wants to see Siha quickly.”

“I see you every day.”

“Not here. There! The movie!”

“Ah, it’s okay to watch it later. I’ll wait until it comes out on TV~”

“Eeing!” [Sound of whining]

Siha patted Uncle’s thigh because things weren’t going his way.

Uncle nonchalantly said, ‘Oh, that’s refreshing,’ and told him to pat his legs too.

Well, I knew it would turn out like this.

I have to sort it out. I don’t want to see it again either, but I have no choice.

“Then, let’s all go together.”

“Really?!”

Uncle said the words after.

I thought Siha said it.

“Yes. What’s the big deal? We can all watch it together.”

“Is it okay to watch it again?”

“I think it’ll be okay to watch it again with Uncle.”

“Keuheu. Damn it. If you say it like that, I have to go. I wasn’t planning to go.”

Was he frustrated, not touched?

“I have no choice. I have to make a reservation.”

“Do it quickly.”

Uncle picked up his phone.

He says that, but he’s an uncle who can make reservations. He must have been thinking of going at least once since he installed the app in advance.

When Siha and I go to daycare and work?

It’s funny to think about it.

“Are you really booking for 3 people?”

“Yes~”

Siha says to Uncle.

“Uncle. Listen to Hyung. Don’t listen to Siha.”

“Why would I listen to you when you don’t even feed me?”

“Eeing!”

That’s how we decided to watch the movie one more time.

It’s Siha’s second time, but mine…….

Um. Let’s not think about it. It’s not something I can count anyway.

***

‘Worker Ant’ achieved 510,000 admissions on its opening day, causing a sensation.

It achieved a feat of reaching 1 million on the second day, literally rocketing to success.

I knew it would do well, but I didn’t know it would do this well.

With this momentum, the number of viewers is increasing rapidly.

A bizarre phenomenon where hundreds of thousands increase in the blink of an eye.

And because people can see those numbers, everyone started making reservations.

The power of the Palme d’Or [the highest prize awarded at the Cannes Film Festival] is palpable.

The more people there are, the more it becomes a hot topic and snowballs.

No, it’s already a massive snowball, not a small snowball from the first day, so the speed of increase is on a different level.

So, it was no wonder that the movie theater was overflowing with people and all the seats were taken.

“There are so many people.”

“I know.”

I knew there were a lot of people in the movie theater, but it seems especially crowded today.

Uncle doesn’t seem to care much about the crowds.

“Do you like crowded places? I thought Uncle wouldn’t like it.”

“It’s good when there are a lot of people. It’s easy to hide and less likely to get shot.”

“Ek!”

The reason he likes crowded places is strange. It’s not normal.

It sounded even more plausible when Uncle said it, so it was a bit scary.

Siha seems to like crowded places too.

“Siha wikes many people too.”

“Why do you like it?”

“Hyung holds my hand. I can’t get wost.”

“I’m speechless.”

No. Siha’s reason sounds better?

Yes! If there are a lot of people, you might get lost, so you have to hold hands and walk.

“You hold hands even when there aren’t many people.”

“Cars are dangewous. So, I have no choice.”

Well, he holds hands whether there are people or not.

But we came to the movie theater too early. Siha dragged Uncle and told him to go quickly, so we came.

What are we doing until the movie starts?

“Let’s go to the arcade.”

“The arcade?”

These days, movie theaters don’t just have movie theaters.

There are restaurants and arcades.

“Let’s go!”

Uncle enters the arcade with great excitement.

There are various things from claw machines to game consoles and coin karaoke.

I don’t go to the arcade often, but I’ve been there before, so I roughly know what’s there.

Come to think of it, I think I experienced an old arcade with Siha before.

Now it’s becoming a fond memory.

“Hyung. Doll!”

“Yeah. It’s a claw machine.”

Very small claw machines are lined up.

Uncle puts in a bill and brings a lot of change.

Excuse me? How much are you planning to spend to get so much change?

I looked at Uncle as if I couldn’t stop him.

“I even bought a coin wallet for this moment. I’m well prepared, right?”

“I don’t know if I should say that’s well prepared or not.”

“Uncle. What is it?”

“You need coins to play the game. Originally, you stack coins and play the game. Kids can’t do that. Puhaha. How is it? Isn’t Uncle cool?”

“!!!”

Uncle shows the coins in his coin wallet.

Siha is surprised because there are so many.

But why does he look more immature than cool?

But it seems different in the eyes of children.

“Uncle. Amazing! So many!”

“Cool, right?”

The first time he said Uncle was cool was when Uncle was excited with a lot of coins.

Something like that!

“Uncle. This! This!”

“Oh. Okay. Which one?”

“That penguin over there. Penguin doll.”

A small penguin doll.

Uncle put in a coin and moved the crane diligently.

“Uncle. There. There.”

“Uh-huh. Uncle will take care of it. Uncle is good at this. I’m good at shooting too.”

He moves it very precisely and meticulously.

I wonder if this is something to be so serious about.

Siha is also in my arms, watching the crane move diligently.

This side is also serious.

“Here it is!”

Uncle clicked the button.

The crane went down and then came up.

“???”

“Ah?”

“Huh?”

We each have a question mark on our heads.

Yeah. That’s what this game is usually like. But isn’t it too much?

“What is this! It doesn’t even grab it? Huh? It’s almost like it’s stroking its belly and coming up? Is it caressing it? What is it?”

“Why doesn’t it gwab?”

It was a terrible game.

Even so, isn’t it the rule to grab it and drop it? Huh? It doesn’t even give it strength?

Uncle’s expression seems accurate.

It’s not like stroking a pet’s belly, but what is it doing coming up like that?

“Usually, these things are caught once in ten times.”

“These C! Are they scammers!”

I totally agree.

Uncle put in money to see if it really happens once in ten times.

It really caught it once and came up, but it touched the ceiling and fell.

“Call the owner! Owner!”

“Calm down and do something else.”

This arcade is a place where you shouldn’t play claw machines. At least it should catch it once every 3 tries.

He endlessly stroked the penguin doll’s belly 10 times.

“Penguin. Can’t come out. Sad.”

“You can see it that way.”

Due to adult circumstances, that penguin will be stuck there without coming out.

I guarantee it. That doll will still be there in a month.

“Shweet!” [Sound of frustration]

Uncle stomped off to another place.

Siha followed Uncle closely.

“Uncle. Let’s pway gun game. Uncle is good at guns.”

“Oh!”

It wasn’t a real gun, but a toy gun, and it was a game where you aimed and hit red and blue targets.

The screen was low to suit the children’s height, so Siha could shoot comfortably.

Well, it would be okay to shoot from below.

“It’s 1,000 won [Korean currency] per game. Thieves. It’s better to go to a PC room.”

“Hahaha.”

It’s usually expensive in places like this. There’s no choice.

“Then, Uncle will show you his gun skills.”

“Siha too.”

It looks like it will be fun because two people can do it.

Let’s watch them do it.

Huh? I feel like I’m playing the role of a parent bringing two kids to the arcade.

Of course, Uncle is not a kid.

“I’m going.”

“Okay!”

Turns out it was a score competition.

Siha shoots the red target and Uncle shoots the blue target.

If you hit a different target, the score is deducted.

Pyong! Pyong! [Sound of a toy gun]

The sound is too cute to be a gun. They should have put in a bang sound.

“Siha, this is an air gun. So, you have to put one hand in your pocket and shoot sideways.”

“!!!”

“I don’t know because I didn’t watch the Olympics. Puhaha.”

“No. Siha knows.”

While saying he knows, he glances at Uncle’s pose.

One hand in his pocket and one hand on the gun.

“Cool!”

Uncle’s pose is cool.

He actually shoots like that.

Pyong! Pyong! Pyong! Pyong!

It would have been really cool if they had done something about the gun sound, but the sound feels ridiculous because the pose is serious.

Even so, the score is very high.

Siha also works hard to follow Uncle.

He shoots the red target well, but he also hits the blue target.

Well, it’s okay if they’re both having fun.

If it weren’t for the pyongpyong sound, the two of them concentrating would be almost like the Olympic shooting range.

Shooting Men’s 50m Pistol Final!

Korea vs. USA!

The youngest 5-year-old shooting national team member Lee Siha is shooting. The score is 230 points! It’s a very high score. But he made a mistake, so it’s minus. It’s a pity.

Next to him is the longest-running American national team member Raymond Thompson.

As expected, his experience doesn’t go anywhere, and he shoots skillfully. The score is now 400 points. He doesn’t give any breaks to young players.

“Uncle. Good job.”

“I told you Uncle is good.”

Yes. Raymond tells Lee Siha that he will give him more tremendous capabilities because he is still young.

It’s a very heartwarming article.

Of course, that doesn’t mean he’ll let you off the hook.

“What should we do next?”

“Next is what Siha is good at.”

“Huh? Is there something you’re good at here?”

Was there something like that?

Even I tilt my head.
