Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 299

Hyung, aren’t I cute? 299

In the end, I, Siha, and Seung-jun were chosen for dishwashing duty.

Super Pass worked, but Siha got caught again, so there was no helping it.

We gathered the dishes and took them to the convenience facilities.

“Siha and Seung-jun, rinse them in the sink here. Make sure they’re clean!”

“Okay.”

The two of them climbed onto chairs, put on rubber gloves, and waited.

Thanks to Baek Dong-hwan preparing children’s rubber gloves, the kids could safely (?) do the dishes.

Honestly, I was getting goosebumps at this preparedness.

So that’s why he had so much luggage!

“I’ll quickly put on the soap.”

“Hyung. Siha will help a lot!”

“Si-hyuk hyung. Me too! Me too! I’m good at washing dishes!”

“You’re saying that because you’ve both done it before, right?”

They weren’t twins, but they shouted ‘No!’ at the same time.

You guys…. You were so confident without even trying it!

What a funny combination.

“Okay. Here we go.”

Clatter. Clatter. Squeak. Squeak.

I handed them the dishes one by one and turned on the water.

Swish.

The two kids stood side by side and started rinsing.

But can they do it well when they’re both stuck to one water stream?

Looking at them, they were taking turns rinsing quite well.

Squeak, squeak.

While they were working hard, someone came running.

“Si-hyuk oppa!”

“Huh? Hana, what’s wrong?”

“I came to help.”

“With the dishes?”

“No! I came to play songs because everyone might be bored!”

Agreeing with her, Siha and Seung-jun said they wanted to sing too.

“Siha too! Siha too!”

“Me too! Me too!”

“Then let’s sing together with oppa and Siha.”

Thus began the song. No, the work song.

“Splash, splash, let’s throw the dishes.”

The melody was the children’s song ‘Splash, splash, let’s throw stones.’

I don’t know why we’re throwing dishes, though.

Siha took it and sang.

“Let’s throw dishes secretly from hyung.”

I’m saying, why are we throwing dishes! It even changed from nuna [older sister] to hyung [older brother]!

“Bubbles spread out. Spread out far, far away.”

“Sitting across from us! Rinsing!”

Siha excitedly continued.

“Our hyung’s hands! Wash them.”

Why my hands?!

In fact, there’s no real meaning in parodying songs.

Whether it makes sense or not.

The children sang happily while washing dishes.

Listening to their nightingale-like voices next to me, it felt like washing dishes was becoming enjoyable.

It seemed like kids enjoyed doing everything.

Of course, this song continued until the dishes were finished.

How many times are my hands being washed?

***

After finishing the dishes, we could finally enjoy the cherry blossom viewing.

Seung-jun’s mom brewed coffee to coincide with our arrival time.

Of course, the kids drank hot chocolate.

“Mmm. Good.”

“Hyung. Good.”

The two of them sat on chairs and looked at the cherry blossoms on the trees.

Resting like this is healing. Camping might not be bad either?

I’ve only been working until now, so resting like this feels sweeter.

No. Is it making us tired by preparing like we’re working, then making us rest on a chair to enjoy it?

I think I know the mechanism of camping vibes!

I told Baek Dong-hwan that.

“Hyung-nim [term of respect for an older brother or male friend]! What are you saying! Preparing like this is healing itself.”

“Not work?”

“You still lack the vibe!”

What the heck is that vibe? Let me know too!

It seems that enjoying the whole process is the camping vibe.

What. Is that. Scary…….

It’s not like a level of martial arts.

“Hyung. Siha had fun.”

It seems Siha has the camping vibe.

“Then Siha will come camping alone later?”

“No. Siha no fun. Fun with hyung.”

Turns out it wasn’t the camping vibe, but the hyung vibe.

Everything is fun when you do it with hyung…….

It’s cute when Siha says it?

I realize once again that who says it is important.

“Oh? The petals are falling.”

“Pretty!”

It seems like one or two petals are falling as the wind blows.

Watching that, I suddenly wanted to tease Siha.

“Siha. They say if you catch a falling petal, your wish will come true.”

“Really?!”

“Yeah.”

“How come true? Petal tell Siha? Grant three wishes?”

“No. Not up to three wishes.”

Wouldn’t three wishes be too many?

“What. Only grant one?”

“Huh? Yeah.”

“Petal not red.”

Does red grant three wishes?

Oh? That’s not the reaction I expected? I thought Siha would leave to catch the petals.

But it seems like he’s disappointed.

“Hyung. Stay here. Siha catch many petals and grant wish.”

Turns out he’s excited.

He’s trying to win with quantity, not bad.

“Ah! Me too! Me too!”

“Hana too! Hana too!”

The twins, who were sitting on the chair and listening to my story, also stepped up.

So the children gathered under the tree and waited for the petals to fall.

Flutter.

I leisurely drank coffee while watching.

Well, this is also a kind of fun.

“Hyung-nim! Catching petals is also a camping vibe…….”

“Be quiet.”

“Yes!”

Once again, the wind blew.

The petals fell, and Siha reached out to catch them.

“No!”

The petals slipped through his fingers.

Siha looked around and picked up a fallen petal.

“Caught it!”

“Siha. I saw you picking it up.”

“Oops! Got caught!”

Don’t tell me you thought you wouldn’t get caught?

Seung-jun puffed out his nostrils.

“Ah, really! It’s so hard to catch!”

“Hana missed too.”

“But Hana. Since it’s so difficult, it must be granting a real wish.”

“!!!”

Hana and Siha’s eyes lit up, wondering if that was really the case, at Seung-jun’s words.

It seemed like this game would continue.

Well, they’ll come back when they get tired.

“But it’s not really the time for petals to fall yet, is it?”

“Well, I don’t think many will fall.”

“The weather is nice too.”

“Huh? Where are you going?”

“To drop the petals.”

Now that it’s come to this, wouldn’t it be fun if everyone caught one?

I grabbed the small basket that Baek Dong-hwan brought.

I don’t know why this is here, but it was perfect for putting petals in.

I was diligently picking up the surrounding petals when Siha suddenly came.

“Hyung. What doing?”

“Hyung is picking up petals to drop. Catch them.”

“Siha help too!”

“Me too!”

“Hana too!”

As a result of the four of us diligently picking up petals.

The basket was full.

I held the basket high above the children’s heads. There is no wind. It seems like it will fall gently, receiving the resistance of the air as it is.

“Okay. Are you ready?”

“Ah ah. Siha catch!”

“I’m going to catch a lot and make a lot of wishes.”

“Hana will ask to sing better.”

“Really. Here we go. Everyone get ready! Start!”

The petals fell abundantly.

The children reached out and tried hard to catch them.

Siha too.

But catching the freely moving petals was not easy.

“Ah, caught it!”

Seung-jun snatched it first.

Hana also caught it easily because it was stuck to her face.

Only Siha missed everything and had a blank face.

“Hyung. Siha no catch.”

“Pfft. It’s okay. It’s okay. Siha already caught it.”

“Huh?”

I want to see his disappointed expression more because it’s so cute, but.

“It’s here?”

I took the petal stuck to Siha’s head and put it on his hand.

Siha’s eyes widened.

“Siha hair catch?”

“Yeah. Siha’s hair moved quickly and caught it.”

“Siha hair amazing!”

Siha raised both hands above his head.

Pat, pat.

It was like he was praising himself as if he had done well.

Of course, he’s doing it himself.

“Now you have to say your wish.”

“Ah ah. Wish?!”

“Yeah.”

It seems like I’m making a lot of wishes this year, but well, it’s okay.

“Petals don’t fall and stay with friends. Play well.”

“Huh? What are you saying?”

“Petals separated from friends. Wish to see again.”

“!!!”

“Siha has seven friends, but five petals. But separated.”

If you look at the cherry blossoms, you can see that five petals are attached.

Siha saw them as friends.

It was such a beautiful wish that I really hoped it would come true.

“You’ll definitely meet again.”

“Really?”

Seung-jun and Hana, who heard Siha’s words, gave their petals to Siha.

“Siha. New friend. Two.”

“Hana also two. New friend!”

“Together with new friends?”

Five petals gathered in Siha’s hand.

“Then shall we combine these as new friends?”

“Combine?”

“Yeah. Attach them with something like glue. Dong-hwan. Do you have glue?”

Baek Dong-hwan pounded his chest as if to trust him.

He has it?

“Hyung-nim. I don’t have glue, but I have laminating paper.”

“Why the heck do you have laminating paper? What don’t you have?”

“Haha! Vibe! Vibe! If you put autumn leaves in the laminate! Keu…….”

“That vibe. Anyway, give me one.”

He put five cherry blossoms on the laminating paper.

And cut it with scissors and gave it to Siha.

“Met friend!”

“Si-hyuk hyung. I want to have it too!”

“Hana too!”

I knew the kids would be like this.

I could only see a satisfactory expression after picking up the petals again and making them one by one.

That’s really nothing, but they like it so much.

But it seems like they like making it more than watching the cherry blossoms.

Is it because it feels like a game they can participate in?

“Hyung. Met all new friends.”

“I see.”

“Not fall anymore.”

“So you like it?”

“Like because not fall.”

Maybe Siha doesn’t like being separated from someone.

That’s why he wants to keep playing and being with me.

Maybe inviting friends at will is because Siha doesn’t want to be separated.

‘Is it because he’s separated from his mom and dad?’

I stroked Siha’s head.

“Huh? What?”

“Just because you’re cute.”

“No. Siha cool. Hyung cool.”

“Yeah. Cool.”

Maybe it’s too much of a thought?

Maybe it’s because I’m seeing cherry blossoms and I’m getting sentimental.

***

It seems like the cherry blossom viewing is over, so the children found other fun.

Whether it’s camping or playing, there seems to be a childlike innocence of adventure wherever you go.

They are trying to advance into the tent with exciting eyes.

Actually, it’s more like a tent than a tent.

But it is blocked by an enemy with a huge body.

“Wait! You can’t go into the tent yet.”

“Baek Dong hyung. Why?”

“The setting inside isn’t finished yet.”

It’s not over yet?!

I sent it to Baek Dong-hwan with a shocked expression.

“Actually, I wanted to put a table and chairs inside. Hmm. It would be too much work to do that today, right?”

“I think it was enough now?”

“So I’m just going to spread out a mat. It’s good for kids to take off their shoes and play. Kids. Just a moment!”

Baek Dong-hwan brings a mat himself.

But it’s more like two or three more than a mat? Are they small mats? Why is there so much luggage?

Baek Dong-hwan spread out the mat without paying attention to my gaze.

The children were waiting quietly outside.

It’s like the calm before the storm before playing.

“Haha! It’s done! You can come in.”

“Awesome! Me first!”

“No. Hana first!”

“Hyung. Together!”

Siha. Why are you looking for me? Just go in! Hyung wants to sit comfortably and watch the cherry blossoms.

But that leisure was being enjoyed by Seung-jun’s mom and Seung-jun’s dad.

I enjoyed it too, but I want to rest more on the chair.

“Hyung. Hurry! Amazing!”

There must be something amazing. Of course, Siha says it’s amazing even if it’s not amazing…….

I walked awkwardly and looked inside the tent.

“Huh? Sleeping bag?”

“Hahaha. Hyung-nim. I brought a sleeping bag.”

“We’re not going to sleep in the tent?”

“Haha!”

“Don’t just laugh. But did you have this too?”

“Of course!”

What doesn’t Baek Dong-hwan’s camper have?

What should I say? Baek Dong-hwan’s camping seems like that.

A person who prepares equipment in full set before climbing.

He doesn’t really climb, but camping is a full set. We’re not going to sleep here, but we have tents and sleeping bags. Why did you bring it? No, did you have it originally?

“Hyung. Come in quickly!”

“Huh? Uh. Okay.”

There were two sleeping bags, one was for the twins to go in together, and the other was for Siha to wait for me to come in quickly.

But Siha. Only one person can go in there.

“Hyung. Hurry.”

“It’s a composition that the kids can’t help but like?”

Baek Dong-hwan makes a proud expression next to him.

He makes the kids have so much to play with…….

I’m going to kill you someday…….

“Hurry! Hurry!”

“Yes. I’m going.”

I ended up going into a sleeping bag with Siha, cheek to cheek.
