Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 185

Hyung, am I cute? Episode 185 (185/500)

Our first stop was the Korean Language and Literature Department booth.

I wanted to treat Siha to *sotteok-sotteok* [sausage and rice cake skewers].

“Ta-da! Siha. It’s *sotteok-sotteok*!”

“Ah?”

Siha tilted his head.

It wasn’t sausage, but beef.

I could practically see ‘So, where’s the sausage?’ in his eyes.

“Hyung. Ham? Ham.”

“Hahaha. They’re selling it with beef instead of sausage here. It’s delicious, so try it.”

I put it in Siha’s hand, and he looked at the food, then at me.

He brought it to his mouth and bit into the rice cake first.

His eyes widened, as if the sauce was amazing.

“Ah! Hyung! *Mashiseo* [delicious]! Beef. *Mashiseo*.”

“Siha, what you ate was rice cake.”

Lee Siha declared it delicious before he even tasted the beef.

Amazing.

Seeing that, Seung-jun took a big bite.

He ate the rice cake and beef together, and I was impressed by how big his mouth was.

“Wow! It’s really delicious! Teacher. It’s delicious.”

“Really? Should the teacher try it too?”

“Hana also *mashiseo*. Soo-hyun *unni* [older sister/female friend] made it, so it’s even more *mashiseo*!”

He ate with his cheeks puffed out, completely satisfied.

The people around him smiled contentedly at the sight.

Seo Soo-hyun came forward and greeted us.

“Siha, you came? Hana and Seung-jun, hello~ Is it delicious?”

“Ah, *gae-gul* [yes/okay]! *Mashiseo*.”

“Soo-hyun *nuna* [older sister/female friend] is awesome!”

“Hana praised you earlier!”

Seo Soo-hyun smiled with satisfaction at their reactions.

The three of them sitting and eating looked adorable.

They also ordered juice at the table and were excited.

It seemed like students passing by were drawn in by the smell and the sight of the children.

“Shall we get one from there too?”

“The poster is so cute. It’s shaking *sotteok-sotteok*?”

“Ah! I saw that at the restaurant.”

The poster seemed to be playing a part, too.

Come to think of it, Siha hadn’t seen the poster.

The daycare teacher laughed next to me.

“Si-hyuk, what’s with that poster?”

“Ah, I just thought it would be good for promotion if I put it in a booth like this. I also put up a *sotteok-sotteok* drawing made by the department.”

“When did you do something like that?”

“Hahaha.”

I just laughed.

I felt like a student who got caught playing around when I heard those words from the teacher.

Seung-jun and Hana seemed curious and came down from their chairs and ran to the pillar with the poster.

Looking up.

“Wow! It’s Siha’s drawing!”

“He’s really holding *sotteok-sotteok*? Hana is also holding it!”

Siha, finally eating beef, wasn’t interested.

Beef is important. Yes!

He chewed diligently and took Seung-jun’s hand and dragged him away.

The poster finally caught his eye!

“Hyung. Siha drawing.”

“Yeah. It’s Siha’s drawing.”

“Beef rice cake. Beef rice cake.”

“Yeah. Beef and rice cake.”

“This isn’t Siha’s drawing.”

“The Korean Literature *nuna* [older sister/female friend] drew that.”

“*Gae-gul* [yes/okay]?”

“Isn’t it? Soo-hyun, who drew this?”

Seo Soo-hyun pointed to a junior with a chin gesture.

I guess she drew it.

Well, it doesn’t matter who drew it.

“Shall we go now that you’ve seen everything? It seems like there are a lot of people coming.”

“No. Siha *meogeo* [eat].”

“You can eat while walking. Let’s go. Hyung will hold the juice.”

We left the Korean Language and Literature Department booth like that.

The kids also looked quite satisfied with the *sotteok-sotteok*.

Next is the game development club booth.

This is the main thing I really wanted to show them.

Not only could the kids play their favorite games, but there were also Siha’s character goods.

“Huh?”

“Hyung? Mana [many]. Mana [many]!”

“Wow! There are so many people!”

“Hana also wants to go there!”

Right. Why were there so many people?

The area around the booth was crowded.

Not only the game development club booth, but also the booth next to it had a long line.

I wondered what they were doing to have such a long line.

The teacher asked next to me.

“Where should we line up first?”

“Yes? Ah! You can line up there, but the line is no joke. I didn’t expect it to be this long.”

We waited in line.

The teacher gave us quizzes so that Siha and the kids wouldn’t be bored.

As expected of a daycare teacher!

“Okay. Here’s a question. Everyone has to listen carefully!”

“Yes!”

Excuse me. People in front and behind?

Why were you perking up your ears and listening?

I guess these people were bored of just looking at their phones.

“Everyone, shout 6 ten times! 6! 6!”

Siha and the kids shouted 6 while bending their adorable fingers.

I also muttered along, but I don’t know why the people in front and behind were following along.

Excuse me? Were you very bored?

“How many dwarfs are there in Cinderella?”

“Ah! Six!”

“It’s six!”

“No! It’s seven! Hana knows!”

The teacher smiled and said.

“There are no dwarfs in Cinderella!”

“Ah?”

“Agh! It was Snow White!!”

“Ah…. Hana knew…….”

The people around us were also laughing, saying they were wrong.

I also fell for it.

I was so focused on the numbers that I fell for such a basic thing.

“Teacher. Again! Again!”

“Um. Really? Is it fun? Then here’s the next question.”

I have to get it right this time.

“A mother said this to her son and daughter. Kids! Watch TV from a distance! Why did she say that?”

This question was surprisingly ordinary.

I thought it was a question for the children’s education.

Because your eyes get bad if you look at it up close.

Seung-jun raised his hand as if he knew.

“I know! Because your eyes get bad! Mom always tells me that!”

“No. Because it’s time to watch TV.”

Um. Seung-jun’s mother must also set a time to watch TV. That makes sense? None of them can be the answer.

The teacher looked at Siha.

I was also curious about Siha’s answer.

“Siha, what’s your answer?”

“Siha close. TV. Shy. Siha. Far. Far. Have to go.”

“Huh?”

I didn’t expect the answer to be that the TV is shy if you get close.

How did he come up with this idea?

Is Siha a genius?!

The teacher was slightly taken aback by the unexpected answer, but quickly regained her composure.

“Yes! All three of you are wrong!”

“Ah?”

“Huh? No way!”

“Maja [right]!”

I thought so too.

Was this a nonsense quiz?

We all looked at the teacher’s mouth.

“The answer is!”

“Is?”

“Because the son and daughter were blocking the TV! They couldn’t see the TV when they stood up.”

Um? It’s something that could happen.

But Seung-jun and Hana were in a mood that they couldn’t accept it.

“No! You can see it! The TV is on the wall!”

“Maja [right]! Hana can’t block it even if she stands up!”

The teacher made a sad face.

“There were no wall mounts back then…. The cathode-ray tube behind the TV was also big…. Is this a generational difference?”

It’s okay, teacher.

Still, the people around us were in a mood to accept the answer.

It’s a failure in that it didn’t get the children’s sympathy.

“Ahem. Anyway, everyone is actually right. I actually gave the quiz to make you think about it once.”

“I sympathized with you, teacher.”

“Thank you.”

As we were solving the quiz, we arrived at the game development club booth.

The club members seemed quite relaxed, considering the number of people.

Well, all they have to do is set it up.

The participants play the game.

“Oh! Si-hyuk, welcome. Siha, hello too? Do you remember us?”

“Of course, I remember. Siha’s memory is the best in the universe!”

“Don’t both of you get too close. The kids might be scared.”

Siha looked at the three of them.

Looking around.

He pondered something and nodded.

Because he had heard the name before.

“Ah! Seo Yi-kyung. Seo Yi-kyung.”

“Siha, you should call them Kyung Trio.”

“Ah? Kyung Tu-rio?”

The three of them flared up at the same time at my words.

It seems like they don’t like being called together.

But that’s how Siha can remember it easily.

“Okay, okay. Siha, let’s play a game. There are people waiting. Look! It’s a Pepe bag!”

“Ah? Ah! Pepe! Pepe!”

Siha was happy and looked at the bag next to the pad [tablet].

It seems like the promotion is going well.

Alisa is selling tablet bags at the next booth.

I want to go say hello, but it’s okay to go after this is over.

“Okay. Everyone, sit here.”

There are a total of four pads [tablets].

Two stand-type TVs.

They were prepared so that the people behind could see.

“Siha, the game is also a penguin game. Okay, try it.”

“Ah.”

“There’s also a prize if you get the highest score of the day. Look there! They’re giving prizes to the top 10. If you’re in 2nd place, you get a pad bag. If you’re in 1st place, you get a culture gift certificate.”

He showed a lukewarm reaction.

He already has one. He may not know much about culture gift certificates because he is still young.

“You can buy Siha’s favorite books with the culture gift certificate.”

“Ah? Ah!”

He seems motivated now that I explained it.

Siha started the game with his eyes wide open.

The penguin bounces and avoids obstacles. It slides on the icy road, and the speed is considerable.

Whoosh~ Whoosh~

You get points if you eat the items around you.

[Breakthrough 1000 points! Speed ​​up!]

It seems that the speed increases in units of thousands.

It doesn’t seem easy.

Siha panics and hits repeatedly as the speed suddenly increases.

Tap tap tap!

“Ah! Hyung!”

In the end, he hit an obstacle and lost.

The score comes out, and the ranking comes out, but he didn’t even make it into the top 10.

That’s why the space to write the name didn’t come out.

A dirty world that only remembers the top 10!

Can’t I complain about this? There’s a problem with this program’s personality!

“Hyung. Pepe. Pepe. *Aya* [hurt] hesseo [did].”

Siha was shocked.

Ugh. Developer who made this game, come out!

“Hyung will heal Pepe so he doesn’t hurt.”

“*Aya* [ouch]! Si-hyuk, why are you hitting me?”

“The president must take all responsibility.”

“Is it my fault?!”

Kim Kyung-ho had an unfair look on his face.

Of course, even if he didn’t make it, Kyung-ho is definitely the person in charge.

“Okay. Pepe is healed. Now let’s go to Alisa.”

“Ah.”

Seung-jun and Hana also had to get off the chair without getting high scores.

Still, they are beaming as if they are happy.

We moved to the next booth and looked at the pad [tablet] bag.

“Hana also wants to have this!”

“Siha *isseo* [have].”

Siha opened his bag and showed the pad [tablet] bag.

I don’t know when he packed that again.

No wonder the bag felt heavy today.

“Wow! I want to have it too! Because Siha has it too.”

Seung-jun also wanted to have it.

The teacher had a troubled expression.

Food is bought with daycare money anyway.

But buying a bag is a different matter.

“Then Seung-jun and Hana, pick one bag color you like. Hyung will buy it for you.”

“Wow! Si-hyuk hyung. The best!”

“Wow! Si-hyuk *oppa* [older brother/male friend]. The best!”

“Ah! Hyung! *Chego* [the best]!”

The three of them looked at the bags and greeted Alisa.

“Did you sell the bags well?”

“Of course. It sold more than I expected. I’ve already sold 40.”

“Wow. You sold a lot?”

“That’s right. It was especially popular with girls. Surprisingly, the professors were also coveting it?”

“Really?”

“Yes. They say they watch PPTs and papers on tablets a lot these days. It’s convenient to carry when you go on a business trip.”

“Ah…. I guess so.”

After all, the Pepe character may be a symbol of popularity.

“Si-hyuk hyung! I want this! Blue color!”

“Hana wants pink!”

“Okay. Okay. I’ll buy it for you.”

I took out the cash and gave it to her.

Alisa said while receiving it.

“But the reason why there are so many people here is also thanks to the booth next door. They’re watching the game while waiting for the Western Language and Literature Department booth.”

“Ah, over there?”

“Yes. They draw caricatures. The price is cheap, so people have no choice but to flock to it.”

“How much is it?”

“It’s 3,000 won [approximately $2.50 USD].”

“It’s cheap.”

“Right?”

Now I know why people are flocking to it.

If you can get your face drawn for 3,000 won [approximately $2.50 USD] at a festival like this, it’s a steal.

It seems that people go in the order of caricatures, games, and goods.

It’s a kind of course.

“The Western Language and Literature Department used their heads well. People who are waiting can watch the game screen over there.”

“That’s right. People who are lining up to play the game may want to have it after seeing people who have received caricatures.”

I nodded.

Inflow is going well in both directions.

But is this pad [tablet] bag sale actually profitable?

At that time, Siha grabbed my pants.

“Hyung. Caricature?”

“Ah! Siha doesn’t know caricatures well, right?”

“Ah.”

“If you look over there, they capture Siha’s facial features and draw them like a cartoon.”

“Picture?”

“Yes. It’s a picture. Ah! You can think of it as an SD [super deformed] character that Siha often draws. You drew the daycare kids on the poster, right?”

“Ah. Siha. Draw.”

“Yes. They draw a picture like that. Would you like to get a picture?”

“Ah!”

Seung-jun and Hana said they wanted to do it too, so we waited in line again.

The fun of this kind of festival is like this.

“Haaam.”

“Si-hyuk hyung. Is it still not our turn?”

“Si-hyuk *oppa* [older brother/male friend]. Still?”

“Yeah. We have to wait a little longer?”

Sometimes waiting is boring.

Seung-jun pointed to the sky.

“The clouds have already gone that far!”

“Ah! Clouds!”

“Right. Ah! Then shall hyung bring the clouds?”

The children’s eyes widened.

“Si-hyuk hyung. You’re amazing as expected!”

“Si-hyuk *oppa* [older brother/male friend]. Amazing!”

“Hyung! *Meoshisseo* [cool/awesome]!”

Ahem. This much is basic.

But why do the people around me have these expressions?

It’s written on their faces, ‘Don’t lie!’

Have these people only lived being deceived?
