Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 183

Serious dance practice began.

The children were enthusiastic about participating in the festival event!

However, a challenging journey lay ahead.

The song chosen after much deliberation was a male idol song called ‘Full Moon.’

It was famous for making older sisters’ hearts flutter [a popular trope in Korean media, referring to a song or performance that evokes feelings of excitement and affection].

“Hahaha! Siha dances well! Hahaha!”

Seung-jun clutched his stomach, laughing as he watched Siha.

Siha moved his body expressionlessly, *hoi hoi* [onomatopoeia for a repetitive, rhythmic movement].

He put his hands on his head, imitating the full moon.

Seung-jun found it hilarious.

“Ah? Siha Full Moon!”

“Siha, that’s not how you do it. Like this.”

Hana gave a demonstration.

Perhaps because she aspired to be an idol, she looked quite relaxed.

“Instead of a circle above your head, you draw a circle with your hands.”

“Ah, Siha. Big one. Big one.”

Siha simply wanted to make a big full moon.

The other kids were also a mess.

Jong-su was creaky, as if he hadn’t been oiled properly, and Jae-hui was holding back laughter while watching Jong-su.

Eun-woo shouted cheerfully, “Rap, rap part!”

Yoon Dong-man moved his body properly and danced perfectly.

The teacher watched, thinking.

‘It’s a complete mess. Utter chaos. What am I going to do with these little rascals?’

Why had she chosen a dance for the festival?

Why had she been so happy when permission was granted so quickly?

After contemplating the root of the problem, she snapped back to reality.

“Okay, okay, everyone calm down. This isn’t some lame dance. You all know Siha’s *hyung* [older brother/male friend, term of endearment], right?”

“Ah! *Hyung*!”

“Yes. You can become as cool as him. This is a famous song!”

“*Hyung*! Cool!”

Not only Siha but also the other kids nodded, agreeing that Si-hyuk was cool.

After capturing their attention, she placed Yoon-dong in front.

“Okay, Yoon-dong is good at it, so he’ll take the solo part. Let’s memorize the parts we do together well.”

“Ah ah.”

“Okay! One, two, three, four! Let’s follow along from the beginning. One~ Two~ Three~ Four~”

“Ah ah. One. Two. Seoi. Four.”

Excuse me? Mr. Siha? Why is Seoi~ in there? Why?!

But the kids shouted, “One, two, Seoi, four,” as if they found Siha’s addition funny.

The kids followed the movements well, so she couldn’t say anything.

Even if it’s weird, it’s okay as long as they dance well.

“This is a story about werewolves. Listen to the song carefully and relate it to the dance.”

The children were still moving awkwardly.

It seemed like it would take a long time to finish practicing.

Yoon-dong was frustrated and hit his chest.

“No, that’s not how you do it there. Ugh, really!”

He grumbled and went next to him to teach him in detail.

A movement like skating.

With feet sliding from left to right. From right to left.

“Yes, like that. The point is not to keep pushing without stopping, but to come just this much.”

Swish, swish.

Seung-jun’s eyes lit up at the sight.

He pretended to grab something with both hands.

“It’s ice hockey! Swoosh~!”

The child’s concentration quickly broke.

When one person is being taught, another person tends to do something else.

“Seung-jun, I’m teaching you. You have to practice!”

“I’ve already memorized it all?”

“You still have to practice so you don’t make mistakes.”

“Okay, look. I’m good, right?!”

Swoosh. Swoosh.

He slides forward with his feet.

Yoon-dong closed his mouth as if he had nothing to say at the sight.

“This feels like a feint when playing soccer.”

Perhaps because he has good athletic sense, he soon followed along.

Siha follows Seung-jun and skates.

“Ike. Ike [onomatopoeia for sliding].”

Left hand with left foot. Right hand with right foot.

Yoon-dong exclaimed, ‘Oh my god!’ and tapped his forehead at the sight.

“When your left foot goes out, your right hand goes out together. Your hand should be near your mouth like this, and you shake it with your hand, ‘Howl.’”

Yoon-dong moved his left foot diagonally and shook his hand to the right.

The signature choreography of the song.

It was an expression to be careful of the wolf’s howling.

Even if everything else is wrong, only this must be right.

“Okay. One two three four.”

“One two seoi four.”

“That’s right. One two seoi four on the opposite side. Ah! I said seoi, four without realizing it!”

“Ah ah. Seoi. Four!”

Eun-woo smiled brightly when he saw that.

Everything was fun.

“Haha. It’s a dialect. A dialect. Can I change the rap to a dialect and sing it? Hello. I’m Eun-woo. Puhaha!”

“Then Hana will sing too! Solo part! Solo part!”

The teacher who saw this thought, ‘Hahaha,’ and smiled awkwardly.

This group will probably be formed and then work as units and solos.

The fans will be waiting for when they will work as a complete group!

It was like 7 idols who would do their own activities after the first song.

***

I don’t go to the school website unless it’s absolutely necessary.

I check my grades or go to the department-specific website to get information.

The most well-used thing is the SNS [Social Networking Service] with the school’s name.

The most active community.

Kangin University also has an official SNS account.

[Looking for the female student I met in the library elevator around 13:20. She’s totally my ideal type.]

[Looking for an interview club or study group!]

[The festival is coming up soon, please let me know what you’re doing.]

Various posts are uploaded and many comments are posted.

Because everyone is a follower.

The Kangin University Student Council also often promotes through this SNS.

This kindergarten poster also introduced which event it was at the festival.

The main photo is Siha’s poster drawing.

[Hello! Kangin University students!! Today, we would like to introduce a spe.cial event at the festival. Is it a club? No. Is it a specific department? No.

The answer is!! The kindergarten that is one with our university!!

The kindergarten announced its participation in our university festival. Last year, they had a cafe.

This time, they prepared a whopping! Dance.

Students who have time should go in the afternoon.

This is the promotional poster.

(Photo)

Festival Day 2! 5 PM! In the small auditorium! A one-time performance! Don’t miss it!]

As the post was uploaded, comments were posted little by little.

As time passed, it gradually increased.

-Aaaagh! I have a lecture from 4:30 PM that day ㅠㅠ It’s right on time ㅠㅠ

-The drawing is cute ㅎㅎ

-But what does the penguin shadow in the back mean? I’m curious.

-It seems to be related to dance? Western painting majors, please appear.

-Does that mean all Western painting majors know that lol

At that time, a person appeared like a comet.

-I’m a 4th year philosophy major. I know the meaning of that picture.

-Suddenly philosophy?? For reference, a child drew that. Don’t say weird things.

-Yeah, I know. And children have rich imaginations, so you can’t ignore it. Just look at that penguin shadow.

The 4th year philosophy major began to speak in earnest.

-If you look at that stage, you can see that it’s a full moon.

The children are dancing and there is a penguin shadow below.

In fact, that might not be a shadow but a real penguin.

It’s expressing that they are dancing while looking at the same moon on Earth.

A feeling like We Are the World?

One person who saw the long comment expressed doubt.

-Then why did you mark it as a shadow?

-Well, if the moon is shining on us, the moon shadow would be covering the penguin, so that’s probably why.

-Come on. Do you think the child thought that far and drew it? Say something that makes sense.

-Children’s imaginations are rich. Even if they didn’t intend to, wouldn’t they have thought that they should express the penguin as a shadow? The part where the penguin is depicted as a shadow in the picture is a part that should be acknowledged.

-Oh? That’s really amazing. A penguin as a shadow.

Siha just wanted to put Pepe [a popular penguin character] in it.

Of course, imagination is a part that cannot be ignored.

But he didn’t even think about the moon shadow.

He just thought of the full moon song and made the stage into a moon.

-But what does the ㅇㅅㅎ initials written so small in the corner of the poster mean?

-Is it strange?

-A handshake event?

-Wildflower?

-Hey philosophy major. Interpret it.

-I don’t know.

It has no meaning and is just the initials of Lee Siha and Lee Si-hyuk’s names.

While thinking about what the picture meant, they came to think that even the initials had a great meaning.

Hong Gwang-young, who uploaded this, could only tilt his head, wondering, ‘Why did it turn out like this?’

-Game Development Club Room

I visited the club after a long time.

I have now roughly written down the other protagonist routes as well.

If you match only these outline elements, even if another scenario writer takes over, it won’t be written with a lack of coherence.

“This is the end for me. I want to write more, but I have a lot of work to do. I’ll send it to you as a file, so keep it safe.”

Ahn Gyeong-ho said with an impressed expression.

“Thank you so much. Even to this extent. But what if this game doesn’t become commercialized?”

“If you get a job, you can do something, right?”

“I guess so? That means they liked that I made this game.”

“Or get support from our school and start a startup?”

“It seems too difficult, so pass.”

“I guess so.”

At that time, Park Gyeong-jun, who had a face like death, jumped up from his seat.

“Wow! The kids from the kindergarten are dancing?!”

“Oh? How did you know?”

“How did I know? It’s right here on Kangin University’s SNS. Wow, that’s going to be really fun.”

When I looked at the screen, it was really uploaded.

They said they were going to promote it, and they really did? There are already a lot of comments?

Well, festivals are all the same in terms of interest.

In particular, it is important which celebrity lineup is coming.

In the middle of the comments, there are strange interpretations, but there are also comments asking to let them know the festival lineup soon.

What’s so secret that they still haven’t told us?

It should have come out roughly around this time.

“It’s Siha’s drawing.”

“Wow! Siha is really good at drawing. I knew it as soon as I saw it. The pop-up book was also very popular before. Later, some people even sold it at a premium.”

“Don’t lie.”

“I got caught. Anyway, that’s how big the impact was.”

That’s an exaggeration.

Well, I knew he had that kind of personality.

Ahn Gyeong-ho said to Park Gyeong-jun.

“Hey, hey. You’re not working and just sitting here looking at this.”

“Hey. Our club member Lee Siha drew the promotional poster, so what do you mean by this? Are we strangers?”

“Oh? I didn’t mean it that way?”

But since when did Siha become a member of this room?

The guy who puts it in slyly and the guy who accepts it are all the same.

I said to Park Gyeong-jun.

“Siha is not a club member?”

“Come on. Well. Since you’re a club member, Siha is also included. It’s like a hamburger’s set menu? Like the relationship between pizza and cola? That’s it.”

“It’s not one plus one…….”

Anyway, I feel good that Siha’s drawing has become the main one.

Siha will be happy if I tell her later, right?

“But what doesn’t the game development club do at the festival? Other clubs are in a frenzy because they have to have one achievement?”

“We’re busy, so we can’t help it. Our achievement is getting a job!”

“Does the club continue with that? I remember there was an activity report that had to be submitted every semester?”

“Keuheuk [coughing sound]. As expected, Si-hyuk has become our club member. Don’t worry because I left that part to Gyeong-hwan.”

I know why Shin Gyeong-hwan is prickly among these members.

If you want to drag these two along, you need someone as meticulous as that.

“Do you want to die?”

Shin Gyeong-hwan opened the door, scratching his head, with perfect timing.

Everything is good here, but the soundproofing is a bit weak.

You can hear everything from outside.

“Gyeong-hwan is here?”

“Oh. Si-hyuk. Hello.”

“Yeah. Where did you go?”

“Ah, I went to tell them what we’re going to do at the festival. And to get a booth.”

“Oh! What are you doing?”

“Unlike those laid-back guys, the game development department has prepared something. What is it.”

At that time, Ahn Gyeong-ho and Park Gyeong-jun retorted.

“Hey! We’re busy!”

“That’s right! We’re so busy developing!”

“Shut up! I have to take care of two things! Gyeong-ho, why aren’t you paying attention when you’re the president!”

Gyeong-ho flinched and turned his eyes.

He has nothing to say.

Well, Gyeong-ho is mainly leading the game development now, so he doesn’t have time to pay attention.

I should change the subject around this time.

“So what are you doing?”

“Ah! We’re going to play a free app game made by other members besides them.”

“Ah ha. What kind of game is it specifically?”

“Just… a game where a penguin slides and jumps? There are also scores. We’ll give a prize to the person with the highest score that day.”

“Oh! That’s a good idea.”

“Right? We’re going to connect it to the screen so other people can see it too.”

“That’s good too.”

Somehow, it’s a game that Siha will like.

I was listening to that when something suddenly flashed through my mind.

Wait? If I do this well?

“Can you receive the app and play the game with a Wi-Fi pad [tablet]?”

“Yes, we’re going to have people play the game with pads or tablets anyway. The screen is big.”

“Is that so?”

When I smiled, Shin Gyeong-hwan made a wary expression.

I cleared my throat.

“Ahem. Would you like to do business with the female students in the Fashion Design department? If you use the booth together and sell tablet bags, it will be good for promotion.”

Before Shin Gyeong-hwan could say anything, Ahn Gyeong-ho and Park Gyeong-jun jumped up and made a fuss.

“Oh oh oh oh!! Fashion Design department!! Good!”

“Wow! It would be better to participate together!!! I’m really looking forward to the festival!”

I tilted my head when I heard that.

“Weren’t you busy developing? You don’t care about the club’s achievements?”

“What are you talking about! As the president, I have to make achievements this semester. I can’t just leave it to the members!”

“Of course. As a senior, I have to contribute to group dating… ahem. Group sales.”

I just made a suggestion, but the two of them were already counting their chickens before they hatched.

Only Shin Gyeong-hwan was looking at the two of them with a pathetic look.

But Shin Gyeong-hwan’s ears were also red, as if he was looking forward to it.

Their personalities are different, but they are similar.
