Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 279

Hyung, Am I Cute?

I came home with Siha.

I sat him in front of me and continued explaining.

“Hyung [older brother or male friend], I want Siha to record his drawings and upload them to YouToober [YouTube creator].”

“Will Siha’s face show?”

“No. Not that, but umm. Siha draws on the pad, right? Think of it as recording the process of how it’s drawn. Ah! Want to try it?”

I gave Siha the pad.

I clicked record in advance and told him to draw anything.

Siha drew a simple dumpling.

“Okay, look closely. The video is now recorded.”

When I turned on the saved video, a blank white canvas appeared, and the pen started drawing.

Siha’s eyes widened.

“Hyung! Siha’s drawing is coming out!”

“I told you, right? It comes out. So, I was wondering if we could record and upload it to YouTube in the future.”

“Siha YouToober?”

“Well… something like that? I don’t know if it will be popular.”

It’s not like Siha’s face is showing, and the drawings don’t seem like something others would envy.

But if Siha wants to do it, I was thinking of letting him.

I didn’t know it then, but these days, comments are only made public when the author approves them.

It’s not like Siha’s face is showing, so it might be pretty good.

I can manage the comments anyway.

“Siha will do it. Want to do it!”

“Really? Then shall we think about what picture to upload as a video? What does Siha want to draw?”

“Siha wants Pepe!”

Right. The answer is already decided, so what am I even asking?

“Wear headset. Choco [chocolate] also see.”

“I see. Umm. Headset?”

“Ah. Pepe not hear.”

“Oh oh.”

“Hearing Pepe. Not hearing Pepe.”

Siha had a good idea and picked up the pen.

“Wait, wait, I have to record.”

“Ah ah.”

I recorded it and watched Siha draw.

I watched the drawing and thought about the video.

How to plan it.

I can’t just upload the drawing as it is.

I was going to select a theme that fits it and play music.

In other words, I’m going to upload it as a collaboration between Siha and me.

I’m going to put subtitles on it too.

“Ah?”

“Yeah?”

“Hyung. Knock knock.”

“Yeah? Rice cake?”

“Knock the door.”

“Really?”

I didn’t hear the bell because they knocked on the door.

When I opened the door, I realized it was a delivery.

Come to think of it, Baek Donghwan sent a gift certificate before Valentine’s Day.

Chocolate cupcake.

He said if I enter the delivery address now, it will arrive on time.

I felt a subtle feeling about Baek Donghwan taking care of it, but he said it was for Siha, not me.

I replied that I was grateful.

“Siha. Chocolate came for you.”

“Choco came? Why?”

“Donghwan hyung sent it.”

“Baek Dong hyung?!”

“It’s not just chocolate, it’s a cupcake.”

“Cake!”

At the word cake, Siha threw down the pen and ran over.

I took out the box, and there were four really delicious-looking cakes.

“It looks really delicious. Right?”

“Hyung. Siha eat!”

“Okay. Okay. Just a minute.”

I put the cupcake on a plate.

Siha sat down on the floor and started eating hard.

Nom nom [onomatopoeia for munching].

His cheeks puffed out as he moved his jaw diligently.

He took a few bites like a squirrel and started stuffing it into his mouth.

“Hyung. Mashisha [delicious].”

“Eat slowly. There’s milk here too, so eat it together. It’ll be more delicious when it’s moist, right?”

Siha took a sip of milk and widened his eyes.

As expected, bread and milk are a cheat combination.

“Hyung. This! This!”

“Puhuh [chuckle].”

It was like an exclamation after eating a cool soup, ‘Keuh! This is it!’

“Draw this too.”

It seemed like Siha was saying this in a different sense.

While listening to Siha talk about what to draw, I organized a four-panel comic in my head.

Whatever you draw, Hyung will make a story for you.

[Channel Name: Sihapepe]

A video has been uploaded.

[Title: Different Senses]

It starts with drawing two penguins.

A headset is drawn, and it progresses very quickly.

The background music also flowed with a sweet feeling.

Subtitles are also attached below the video.

[Hello. This is Sihapepe. This is the first time I’m greeting you with a video. Today, I drew a four-panel comic with one theme.]

[It’s about different senses.]

[Have you ever thought that you have different senses from someone else?]

[I only recently learned that this world exists.]

[So, here’s a picture I prepared.]

The drawing of two penguins wearing headsets and shaking their bodies is completed.

[I really like this Pepe (penguin), so I drew two of them.]

[I really like the song too.]

Second picture.

The two Pepes are touching their phones. There is a speech bubble, and it shows the phone screen.

One is choosing a chocolate gift certificate.

One is entering the shipping address.

[I heard that Valentine’s Day is to let someone know about spring.]

[I hope this picture will be a new spring for you.]

Third picture.

A delivery box placed in front of the door.

[So, I tried delivering it as a video. Because I want to give it to everyone.]

Fourth picture.

The two Pepes are holding a large chocolate with a heart drawn on it.

Both headsets are taken off and worn around their necks.

The headset on the right Pepe expresses the music flowing out by drawing musical notes.

There were no musical notes on the left Pepe’s headset.

[Finally, the drawing is finished.]

[I don’t know if you noticed, but there are hidden elements here and there.]

[Yes. The left Pepe wore a headset, but no music was playing.]

[It shows the deaf and the hearing.]

[How is it? The way they live is not much different, right?]

[They are the same people. Just with different senses.]

The four-panel comics are all shown in a row.

[Today, I wanted to express this topic in a cute four-panel comic.]

[I’ll go in now. Thank you for watching.]

Finally, the two Pepe characters came out holding heart chocolates.

Unlike the previous picture, there are letters written inside the heart chocolate.

[Subscribe!] [Like!]

The 10-minute video ended.

Below the video, [Shu] YouToober, who provided the music, is marked, and Sihapepe’s Pixiv [Japanese online community for artists] is also linked.

The YouTube link was also posted on Pixiv.

As a result, comments were quickly posted.

Of course, the channel manager must approve the comment before it can be posted on the video.

At first, the followers of Pixiv were the most upset.

-No! Sihapepe artist…. Was Korean?!?!

-But English subtitles are also provided?

-Wait a minute, lol [laughing out loud], this is weird?

-What?

-English, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, German. Translated?

-No lol, isn’t this the first video and the first YouTube? Who provided the translation lol

-Since the provider is not written separately, didn’t they do it themselves?

-Did you use a translator?

-It’s not that the sentences are smooth. I can speak German.

Everyone fell into a mental breakdown.

No, it was surprising that Sihapepe’s artist was Korean, but the languages they translated themselves were also surprising.

-Hey! I used a translator!

-That’s right! Seriously…. Can you use all these languages?

-Oh shit! Vietnamese translation was good? I just tried translating the English subtitles and came ㅇㅇ [Korean slang for “okay” or “agreeing”] It seems like you did it yourself.

-What kind of talented person is that….

-If you have that level of language skills, you’re just an interpreter….

-Is your main job an interpreter?

Everyone was talking about Sihapepe with one video.

Then an interpreter appeared.

-Now the words are a bit right! From what I’ve interpreted so far, you need to have a broad perspective.

-Wow. Does that connect like this?

-I thought there was something starting from Lake Superior, but if you’re an interpreter, it makes sense. To the world!

-?!?!?!?

While talking excitedly about Sihapepe’s identity, they moved on to the picture.

-I watched the video and found hidden elements here and there. As expected, Sihapepe artist. You deliberately didn’t explain that in the subtitles!

-???

-Tsk tsk [sound of disapproval]. That’s why perspective is important. Listen carefully. Look at the gift certificate and delivery service there.

-Why is that?

-Who would have benefited the most from using such apps?

-!!!

The interpreter started posting comments excitedly.

-Listen carefully. It was difficult for the deaf to order delivery by phone. But with the development of app delivery, you can easily order and eat!

-Wow! That’s right!

-There’s a reason why that picture came out. There’s a reason!

-The development of smartphones has made the lives of the hearing people no different!

-I don’t want to say that, but I think I just wanted to express that they are the same people without prejudice.

Siheok didn’t think that far and just drew it because he received a gift certificate as a gift.

That’s why there were no subtitles.

-I was so creeped out when the headset with music and the one without it came out at the end. As expected, Sihapepe artist!

Siha just drew a deaf experience from daycare.

Of course, I drew it thinking about the deaf and the hearing, but it wasn’t the intended production.

-The last heart chocolate is fair love. Keuh [exclamation].

-Aren’t you just giving Valentine’s chocolate?

-There must be a reason why it’s a heart!

-That’s Pelerero Ttaeng [Korean children’s song].

-Be quiet. Sihapepe wouldn’t do a back advertisement!

The heart chocolate was just drawn because I remembered one Siheok gave me.

I didn’t even think about fair love.

Anyway, the number of views of the video was increasing, and comments were being posted even though they were not visible.

***

I looked at the comments carefully.

There were so many good comments.

“Siha. Shall I read the comments?”

“Ah ah!”

I approved and read them one by one.

“The picture is so pretty! It’s cute!”

“Siha picture cute?”

“It’s cute. There’s also this. Shout! Sihapepe! Why is this person always shouting?”

“Why hit? Sihapepe!”

“If you say that, it sounds like you’re telling Sihapepe why are you hitting me.”

“Ah?”

Siha can’t read these comments even if he knows Korean.

Of course, because it’s all English.

It seems like the followers on Pixiv came and left comments.

“Umm. What should I do with this?”

A long English comment with a very long sentence.

It was a comment left by the so-called interpreter on this video.

Should I approve this? Or not?

“Hyung. This long!”

“Yeah. It’s someone who always leaves a lot of comments on Siha’s pictures.”

“Why?”

“I think he likes Siha’s pictures.”

“Really?”

Oh? That’s right. He likes it, so he writes so long.

But it’s very… very… misunderstood?!

I was too lazy to write a reply to explain it, so I just left it alone and told them to play on their own, but it really turned out like this.

Is this what they call a snowball effect?

The karma was very deep.

“Hyung. Hangul [Korean alphabet]. Hangul.”

“Not Hangul, but Hangeul [correct pronunciation]. Oh!”

“Moya [what]?”

“Where is the character I’ve seen a lot? I guess it’s someone who saw it as an emoticon.”

Come to think of it, it seems like I’ve been working as Sihapepe a lot.

There are people who recognize emoticons.

Of course, it seems like they’re vaguely remembering it.

“Hyung. Siha imti how [Siha’s emoticons, how is it going]?”

“Ah. That? I think it will be launched soon? I heard that all the reviews have been passed.”

“Siha money many earn [Siha will earn a lot of money]?”

“That’s right. Siha will make a lot of money. Will you buy Hyung something delicious?”

“No! Not buy.”

I see. You won’t buy it. But do you have to say it so firmly?

“Hyung all give [Hyung, I’ll give you everything].”

“Huh?”

“Hyung all take [Hyung, take everything]. Siha money no buy [Siha won’t buy anything with the money].”

“Puhuh [chuckle]. Wow. Siha is amazing. Hyung take all? Really?”

Siha hesitated and shook his head.

I guess it’s too precious to give everything.

“Siha three ten thousand won only take [Siha will only take 30,000 won]. Buy choco eat [to buy chocolate to eat].”

“Puhuh [chuckle].”

It was so cute that he would take only 30,000 won from there.

“Then put 30,000 won in Siha’s wallet and really take the rest.”

“Siha give allowance [Siha will give allowance]. Know?”

“Wow. The amount of allowance is different. Hyung will make you a very delicious meal with that money.”

“Ah ah. Thank you~”

“Why are you saying thank you?”

“Ah?”

It’s a funny situation where I’m getting thanked for giving my money to me.

Anyway, that money will be piled up in Siha’s account.

For Siha’s future.
