Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 159

Jong-soo shouted, but Siha didn’t hear him.

Because he was too busy showing off the pop-up book he made with Hyung.

“Hyung. Siha. Made book.”

“Wow! You made it really well. That’s amazing!”

Seo Soo-hyun clapped her hands in front of him as he showed her the book.

He was so happy that he stuck out his belly.

Triumphant.

This work made with Hyung was really, really amazing.

“This. Buy.”

“Okay. I’ll buy one of these. How much is it?”

“Uh. Suh-ee dollar!” [Siha means ‘three dollars’]

“Oh! Really? 3,000 won? Here you go.”

Siha crumpled the money and put it in his pocket.

Seo Soo-hyun held the book and waved her hand.

“Then sell a lot, Siha. Fighting!”

“Uh! Bye-bye.”

As Seo Soo-hyun was about to leave, Seung-joon and Hana shouted.

“Soo-hyun noona! Mine too!”

“Soo-hyun unni! Hana’s too!”

Seo Soo-hyun smiled wryly at the twins’ call and turned around.

The other things here were not necessary for Seo Soo-hyun.

At least the pop-up book was pretty so she could keep it, but those toys and clothes were a bit difficult.

“Hmm. There’s nothing I want to buy?”

“Then how about this? Combine this.”

Seung-joon worked hard to assemble the robots and showed them combined.

Hana, who was next to him, held up a pretty hair clip.

A hair clip with a plastic sunflower attached.

“Soo-hyun unni! This is pretty!”

“Uh? Oh. It’s pretty. I can buy this one.”

“Awesome! Five hundred won.”

“Okay.”

Seo Soo-hyun bought it because Hana was cute.

Seung-joon, who saw Seo Soo-hyun, had a look of dismay on his face.

He already knew it was difficult to receive other people’s money.

Seo Soo-hyun felt sorry for Seung-joon and picked up a T-shirt.

“How much is this?”

“Ah! That! I’ll give it to you for 3,000 won, just for you, noona!”

“Ahaha. Okay. Thank you.”

“Soo-hyun unni! Pin it for me.”

“Huh? Ah! Okay.”

Seo Soo-hyun had no choice but to put a pin on her side hair because of Hana’s sparkling eyes.

After being held for a while, Seo Soo-hyun was able to escape from the twins.

“Then sell a lot~”

“Okay! Bye, Soo-hyun unni~!”

“Thank you, Soo-hyun noona~!”

“Uh! Frog!”

Seo Soo-hyun left, receiving such a warm welcome.

Jong-soo, who was watching from the side, was trembling, saying that all three of them were cheap.

Jae-hwi glanced at the scene and pretended not to know, saying, ‘It’s dangerous outside the mat.’ [referring to the safety and comfort of their designated area]

“Siha! Finally, 3,000 won.”

“Uh.”

“Hana too. Hana too! Five hundred won!”

The children were enjoying the joy of their first sale for a moment.

Another guest appeared.

“Uh! Moon-do!”

“Ahem. Siha, you’re selling books?”

“Uh. This. This. Hyung together.”

“You did it with Hyung.”

“Moon-do also!”

“Uh? I’m in this book too?”

“Uh.”

Siha opened the book and pointed to Pepe Pillbug.

Moon Do-hwan couldn’t help but have a subtle expression.

‘Why am I a soccer ball again… Being kicked around like this is like my company life,’ he thought.

“Ahem. Thank you. It’s cute.”

If anything, Pepe Pillbug was quite cute.

Moon Do-hwan decided to be grateful for that.

“Moon-do. Soccer did?”

“Huh?”

“Siha. Ball. Pow. Did.”

“Ah! You mean the ball gift?”

“Uh.”

“Ah. I’m playing soccer hard with it.”

Siha seemed satisfied with the answer and handed Moon Do-hwan the book.

He put 3,000 won in his pocket and waved his hand.

“Bye-bye, Moon-do.”

“Okay. Sell a lot, Siha~”

Moon Do-hwan left like that.

And like a scripted scene, the next person came.

This time, as many as three people!

They were all people he knew.

Ahn Kyung-ho, Park Kyung-joon, and Shin Kyung-hwan.

The trio from the game development club approached Siha.

Park Kyung-joon made a fuss as he looked at the book cover.

“Wow! This is really the best! You can even make it into a game! The scenario is awesome!”

“Crazy. You haven’t even read it. How do you know the contents inside?”

“Haha! I know without reading it. If the character is this cute, the content is cute too.”

“You’re talking nonsense.”

Shin Kyung-hwan said that and gave Siha a soft smile.

It was a different expression from how he treated his friends.

“Hyung will buy two of these.”

“No. Not two.”

“Huh? Are you saying buy three?”

“No. Not three.”

“Then shall I buy them all?”

“No. Only one. Only one.”

“Ah. One per person?”

“Uh.”

Shin Kyung-hwan nodded as if he finally understood.

Strangely, since he could only buy one, he felt an inexplicable attraction.

As is generally the case with people who play games, they had a subtle desire to collect.

Even if they don’t play the game, they buy it if it’s cheap.

If you buy a lot of games, you feel secure.

Siha didn’t know, but he touched that part of Shin Kyung-hwan.

“Okay. I’ll buy this! I was going to buy it anyway, but suddenly I really wanted to have it.”

“Ah! Me too! Me too!”

Ahn Kyung-ho, who was next to him, raised his glasses.

“I’ll buy this as a reference material as the president of the club. I’ll buy it with club funds. It’s public data.”

“Just buy it with your own money. You stingy bastard.”

“Ah, why! Poor college students have to save money even at times like this. It’s cup ramen and triangle kimbap [cheap and common meals for students]. It’s 3,000 won.”

Shin Kyung-hwan rummaged through his pockets.

Ahn Kyung-ho had subtle expectations at the sight.

“Oh! Are you going to buy me one?”

Shin Kyung-hwan took his hand out of his pocket and slapped him on the cheek with the back of his hand.

“Argh!”

“Don’t use the club fees carelessly when I’m talking nicely. I’m the treasurer.”

“I know. I was just joking.”

The children laughed, holding their stomachs at the comical sight.

Ahn Kyung-ho looked so funny getting slapped playfully on the cheek.

“Hey. Can you hit me one more time? I’m enjoying unprecedented popularity as the president.”

“Disappear quickly before you get an unprecedented dismissal.”

“Yes.”

After selling to the three of them, there were only five pop-up books left.

“Uh. Sell mani!”

“Wow! Siha. You sold really well!”

“Hana also sell!”

Siha was closely following Jae-hwi.

***

Around the time the kids had all tried selling once, Siha’s books were sold out.

There were also people who bought them quickly after seeing one or two disappear.

“Ah! I was watching the one I had opened earlier, but when did it disappear like this?”

There were also people who were planning to buy it later after looking around.

That’s how shopping is usually done.

The books were all sold out in that way, and miraculously, Seung-joon’s robot was also sold for 50,000 won.

It caught the eye of a college student who had a hobby of collecting robots.

“Awesome! It’s over! I too! I have to go see Soccer Hwa!” [likely a soccer-themed item or character]

Some items were still left, but Seung-joon’s goal was to sell the robot.

Rather, Hana was feeling down because she couldn’t sell much.

“Oppa. Hana didn’t sell much.”

“Oppa will give you the money left over from buying Soccer Hwa. Then you can learn to sing, right?”

“Yeah! Thank you!”

“Siha also help!”

“Yeah. Siha, thank you.”

The three children tried hard to sell the remaining items.

Siha held Hana’s teddy bear and grabbed someone.

“Uh.”

The woman tilted her head.

“This. Sell.”

“Ah. You’re saying you’re selling this? Hoho.”

Siha thought of Hyung.

Hyung who speaks well at the bookstore!

“Uh. Bear. Tta-dak. Character! Tta-dak. Kid tta-dak. Adult tta-dak. Cute. Buy.”

“Oh. Okay. I see.”

The mother and child had bewildered expressions.

The teacher watching them said inwardly.

‘Siha. That only works for Hyung…….’

“Then shall we buy it?”

“Uh. Suh-ee dollar.”

“Hahaha. You mean 3,000 won?”

“Uh.”

The teacher’s eyes widened.

‘That works? That’s sales?’

All roads lead to Rome.

“Uh. Hana.”

“Wow! Siha. You sell really well. Thank you.”

Hana held the three thousand won in her arms.

Seung-joon straightened his shoulders as he looked at Siha.

“If you say tta-dak, it sells well!”

As soon as he said that, all the daycare children started saying tta-dak.

Of course, it failed.

The teacher laughed, holding her stomach as if she knew it would happen.

“Okay. Everyone worked hard. Shall we eat snacks and clean up now?”

“No way!”

“Yes!”

The reactions were divided.

Seung-joon already wanted to go buy Soccer Hwa, and Hana was satisfied with the business.

Siha had nothing to sell because it was sold out.

But the other children were different.

Jae-hwi shook his head because he was having fun with what he was doing, and Jong-soo was burning with a desire to win and didn’t want to quit.

“Hmm. Then those who want to look around, stick with the teacher. Let’s eat snacks and look around.”

The teacher had already expected this to happen.

She had no choice but to postpone cleaning up until later.

It was then.

“Then can Siha and I walk around?”

“Hyung!”

It was Si-hyuk’s appearance.

***

Siha hugged me.

He rubbed his face against me and looked at me with sparkling eyes.

He was flapping his hands and explaining something.

“Hyung. Siha book. Sell. Sell all. Tta-dak. Did.”

“Oh! Really? You sold all the books. You also sold your friend’s stuff?”

“Uh. Hana.”

“Okay. You sold Hana’s stuff. I see.”

“Uh!”

Siha moved his feet as if he knew I understood everything.

The teacher was looking at me strangely.

With an expression asking how such an interpretation was possible.

Hmph. I’m a translator anyway, so this is nothing.

A professional translator can do this much interpretation.

‘Of course, I’m lying.’

In fact, I had been watching Siha since I put Seo Soo-hyun in.

I made fun of the sunflower pin and got slapped on the arm.

Anyway, I was proud to see Siha selling well somehow.

In fact, half of it was business with acquaintances.

The teacher said.

“Ah, then would you like to take Siha around, Si-hyuk?”

“Yes. That’s why I came.”

“Then Hana and Seung-joon, let’s go with the teacher.”

The twins nodded, saying, “Okay.”

It seemed like the two of them wanted to buy something.

“Si-hyuk. Then have a snack and go.”

“Ah. Can I eat too?”

“Yes. Of course. I brought quite a lot.”

“Thank you.”

I sat on the mat with Siha.

As the snacks were spread out, the children lost interest in selling and focused on eating.

“Hyung. Mashisuh [delicious].”

“Yeah. It’s delicious. Food eaten while working is always delicious.”

“Honey? What?”

“Ah. Honey is when something sweet comes out of the flower. The bee takes it and makes it into honey.”

“Ah?”

Was the explanation too difficult?

I have to make it easier.

“You know bees, right?”

“Siha. Know.”

“The chocolate that bees like is in the flower. So the bee takes it and makes it into honey. The bee says, ‘Please give me chocolate.’ And that’s how they live. Then they work hard to collect that chocolate! And it becomes honey?”

“Bee chocolate. Mashisuh?”

“Yeah. It’s delicious. Let’s eat it later, Siha.”

“Uh. Honey! Honey!”

“Oink!”

Siha clapped his hands as if something came to mind.

Clap.

“Uh! Pig! Pig! Oink pig! Bee buy pig.”

Suddenly, the bee was buying a pig from the flower.

“Ahaha. He knows that oink is the sound of a pig.”

“Siha know.”

“Yeah. Siha is smart. Here. Snack is coming. Ah~”

“Ah~”

I put the snack in his mouth.

That’s how we ate the sweet snacks.

“Hah hah.”

At that time, an unusual breathing sound was heard behind us.

The shadow became darker because it was a shaded tent.

‘What is it?’

As I turned around, Siha reacted first.

“Uh! Baek-dong!!”

“Hah hah. Hello. Siha. Hyung, how are you.”

“Oh! What are you? How did you come? Isn’t it your work time now?”

“I came right after work. Here! Siha. Sell me a book!”

Siha tilted his head as Baek Dong-hwan said that.

“Hey. It’s all sold out.”

“Huh! Then can’t I buy it?”

“No. You can buy it too. There are many at home.”

“Ah…. That’s disappointing.”

I didn’t know that the remaining five copies would sell out so quickly.

Siha held out chocolate to Baek Dong-hwan.

“Wow! Thank you. I was craving something sweet.”

“Uh. Baek-dong. Pig. Collect chocolate. Oink.”

“Huh?”

I burst out laughing at the words.

It seemed like he wanted to teach me what he had learned from me.

But Baek Dong didn’t seem to think so.

“Ah, no! I’m not a pig. This is all muscle! Okay. If I had to say it, I could say I’m a muscle pig! But I have low body fat too!”

“Ah?”

Siha just tilted his head, not knowing what that meant.

“Hey. That’s not it.”

Let’s clear up the misunderstanding first.
