Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 314

“Hyung, aren’t I cute?” Episode 314

Siha and the kids are working their little feet hard.

The bicycles move forward.

Our Siha can even make turns now. He’s happily riding around the playground, following the red track painted on the ground.

“Teacher, isn’t Siha’s driving amazing? The way he takes those curves! What if he asks me to buy him a motorcycle later?”

“Pardon?”

A promising tree is known by its sprout, they say [meaning early talent indicates future success].

With such incredible talent, there might be something he’s inevitably drawn to.

“Hyung! The wind says, ‘Welcome!'”

“Yeah!”

Look at Siha waving his hand over there.

The way he’s casually going straight with one hand now is no different from a veteran driver.

Seeing him say the wind is saying ‘Welcome!’ it seems he’s already feeling the speed of the tricycle.

“Could it be?! What if he asks me to buy him a road bike later and says he’s going to compete in races?”

“Pardon?”

They might even enter as a team with the daycare members.

Maybe Siha will take on the role of a sprinter, confident in his speed?

“Hahaha! Siha, this is really fun!”

“Seungjun, fast!”

Let’s assign the sprinter role to Seungjun.

In a team, Seungjun, with his competitive spirit and talent, is the best when it comes to a pride battle over who’s faster.

Then, what about the climbing role?

Leading the way on courses that go up mountains, aiming for first place in mountain climbing.

As Siha slightly tries to veer off the track, Yoon-dong comes next to him and says.

“Siha, it looks like you’re going to go off track?”

“Ah? Yoon-dong, thank you~”

Yoon-dong, perhaps because he dances, also has a pretty solid physique.

The way he stands and rides looks quite springy.

Hm! Let’s assign the climbing role to Yoon-dong.

Indeed! Siha is the team leader. Everyone is looking out for him like this, so he has a talent for bringing the team together.

It’s enough for him to safely transport everyone to the final course.

“Hey! Lee Siha!”

“Ah?”

Siha looked at Jongsu, who came to his side.

Jongsu already has adrenaline pumping through his body, with a confident look on his face.

“Let’s race to see who’s faster!”

“Why?”

“Of course, because we’re riding bikes! Here I go!”

Jongsu pedaled hard.

He quickly shot forward. He even showed a determination to win this time.

The straight course allowed him to go coolly, widening the distance between him and Siha.

Like the smart Jongsu, he slowed down at the curves and turned.

“Jongsu, fast! Fighting!”

The difference was already so big that Siha’s words didn’t reach Jongsu.

‘But Siha, aren’t you… too relaxed?’

Siha was leisurely pedaling as if he were out for a stroll.

What about the race with Jongsu? He even had the 여유 [yeoyu – Korean for ‘余裕’, meaning composure or余裕] to look around.

Indeed. Is this the 여유 of a strong person?

“Hyung, coming?”

“Yeah. I’m behind you.”

What 여유.

He’s checking to see if I’m following well.

It’s as if he’s adjusting his bike speed to match my pace when someone walks next to him.

He’s probably preventing me from getting too far away.

How much does he like me?!

“Hyung, coming?”

“Yeah. I told you, I’m behind you.”

He goes through this confirmation process several times.

Strolling around the playground is good exercise. Anyway, I spend a lot of time sitting and working.

Thanks to Siha, I get to exercise like this.

Well, I do set aside time for exercise separately, though.

“Huff, huff.”

Before I knew it, Jongsu had circled once and was behind Siha.

“Hey. Huff, huff. Why. Huff, huff. Didn’t. Huff, huff. Run! Really. Completely. Huff, huff. Won. Huff, huff.”

It seems he tasted victory because he created a huge distance between him and Siha.

He came chasing after Siha’s tail to brag, but reality was cruel.

Swoosh. Swoosh.

Lee Siha leisurely pedaling.

He was moving forward little by little, as if he had nothing to do with the competition at all.

“Why didn’t you run fast?!”

“Jongsu came? Good job?”

“No! I’m naturally good, but you have to be good too!”

“It’s okay if Jongsu is good. Amazing. Amazing.”

“No!!! It’s a competition, so you have to run too!”

“Siha is running?”

Jongsu tilted his head back once, releasing his frustration.

Sorry, Jongsu. Siha is actually a child who isn’t very interested in competing with anyone.

But doing first place so well is our Siha’s strength!

Uh?! Our Siha, uh?! If he puts his mind to it, he’s already surpassed Seungjun and Yoon-dong, uh?! That’s what I’m saying!

Oh? This is like when our kids don’t study, but if they did, they’d do well~ kind of thought?

While I was having such silly thoughts.

“Hyung. Shall we play train?”

“Hey! Lee Siha! Are you ignoring me!”

“Ah? Jongsu, Siha didn’t ignore you. Siha cheers for Jongsu.”

“No! Don’t cheer, compete! Compete!”

“Woong. Then shall we compete? Siha will try harder now.”

“Huh?”

Jongsu seemed very flustered at the sight of him suddenly accepting the competition.

“Th, that’s right! Uh? No, no! Hey. Lee Siha!”

“Why?”

“Y, you, you, really. I’m already out of energy.”

“???”

“To do this. To do this. You bad. It’s cowardly!”

“???”

Siha just tilted his head, not knowing what was going on.

Hehehe. Ma! This is the quality of a leader!

Siha’s scheme started from the point he didn’t compete.

Weakening them and competing is a tactic that has been passed down since the war.

Of course, Siha wasn’t aiming for that!

“Hyung. Siha is running, so you have to run fast.”

“Yeah. Hyung has to exercise too, so I’ll try to run hard.”

“Hey. Lee Siha. Competition canceled.”

Siha started running hard.

Inevitably, Jongsu also put strength into pedaling.

The race is finally starting.

“Huh? I want to do it too! Me too!”

Seungjun participated.

Yoon-dong, who was following behind him, also subtly came forward.

He doesn’t intend to participate, but he seems to want to run fast.

But the shape already seems to have entered the competition.

“Hahaha. Siha. It’s fun. Right?”

“Fun!”

“Huff! Huff! You bad!”

Unfortunately, Jongsu’s stamina is already exhausted.

I expressed my condolences to Jjansu [a playful way of saying Jongsu’s name], looking at the lagging bicycle.

It seems that Jongsu is the last place in the race.

Poor guy.

***

When they’re happy, they sing.

Hana is singing a song, very happy while riding her bike.

“Ring-a-ling. Ring-a-ling. Get out of the way!”

Yeonju follows along, singing after her.

“The bicycle is going. Ring-ring-ring.”

The children are now riding their bikes together, as if it’s hard to run fast now.

Seungjun is excited and sings along.

“Ring-a-ling. Ring-a-ling. Get out of the way!”

Siha also follows along, singing, enjoying himself.

“Hyung is going. Ring-ring-ring~”

Siha. Why is Hyung going, anyway? Should I say Hyung is going to war!

Hey, Seungjun? Why are your eyes shining? Is your passion for rewriting lyrics burning?

“That Hyung going over there is Red [referring to the narrator]. If you mess with him, you’ll end up in the hospital, hehehehe.”

I’m not such a violent person?!

I’m getting dizzy from the children’s rewriting.

“Hyung. Shall we play train?”

“How do you play train?”

“Siha is behind.”

“Okay. I will.”

I was exactly diagonally behind Siha.

In the section off the track.

But to play train, I had to be right behind Siha.

“But why are you guys?”

“Hehehe. Siha hyung is in front.”

“Siha hyung’s back is showing!”

I thought only Siha and I were playing train, but the children are lined up behind me.

What is this?

“Choo-choo! Choo-choo-choo-choo!”

The song also changes while playing train.

“Daycare next to the train tracks!”

“Hyung, hyung. Sleeps so well.”

I don’t know why they’re putting me in. Lee Siha. The lyrics get weird because you put Hyung in.

Anyone who hears it will think I’m sleeping at daycare.

“Choo! Choo! Choo-choo-choo-choo!”

It’s really nothing special, but it’s somehow peaceful.

Actually, they should be tired by now, but the kids don’t know that and are riding their bikes, saying, “Let’s run!”

What. Is the children’s stamina infinite?

This is such a scam.

“The kids are very active, right?”

The teacher came up and spoke to me.

“Yes, they are.”

“They’ll be going in when they start to get tired. Then, take a nap together.”

“Ahaha.”

I’m going to end up really sleeping at daycare while playing train.

“Oh, right. This tricycle is good for putting in the car trunk. And there’s a rod that can be inserted in the back, but I deliberately didn’t assemble it today.”

“Ah? Really? But what about the rod?”

“There’s a handle like you’re pushing a stroller.”

“Ah, that.”

I wondered what the hole in the back of the bike was for.

There was a screw shape inside, so I thought something was inserted.

If you hold it like that, you can prevent the child from jumping out onto the road.

Hm. Good idea?

“It’s a good Children’s Day gift.”

“Things are things, but the kids will be happier playing with Si-hyuk, right?”

“Haha. Is that so? But it must be hard for the teacher. It’s Children’s Day, but you can’t rest.”

“Well, what can you do? Professors have research to do, so they don’t have days off. There are other people who can’t rest and work even though it’s a day off.”

“That’s true.”

It’s a holiday, but not everyone rests.

There are definitely marts and such that are open, and there are definitely people who take annual leave instead of designated holidays.

The teacher stretched next to me.

“Still, it’s good. The kids are having so much fun.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. And we’re in a pretty comfortable category. There are only eight kids. Well, actually, there weren’t this many originally, though.”

“Well, there’s also the director.”

“That’s right. And it’s even better because the group is divided into 4 and 4. Well, they all play together, though.”

“It’s good if everyone is friendly.”

“It’s even better because it’s an even number. When Siha came, it was an odd number, so there could inevitably be a sense of alienation.”

“Hmm.”

The teacher is thinking about this and that.

Even, odd. This seems to be important.

“Hana was a bit 떠 [tteo – Korean slang for ‘aloof’ or ‘outcast’], but it was good that Yeonju came.”

“Wasn’t Siha the most 떠 at first?”

“Hmm. Siha blended in naturally without saying much at first. But Seungjun liked Siha, so there was a feeling that Hana was 떠. Fortunately, Hana is twins with Seungjun, so they’re very close.”

“That’s true.”

“If you look closely, Seungjun has a subtle older brother feeling.”

I think so too.

He subtly accepts Hana well? But if you look closely, there are times when Hana seems like an older sister.

They’re siblings, but they’re twins, so it seems to give a slightly different feeling.

“Haaam.”

“Are you very tired?”

“I’m really going to take a nap at daycare.”

“I take naps too. The director is always awake, though. She seems to not need sleep.”

“Amazing.”

Come to think of it, the director takes good care of us, but she moves quietly.

It feels like she’s taking care of us with less effort.

Teacher Yoo Da-hee is a bit the opposite. She takes care of the children with overflowing energy.

That’s why she might get tired quickly.

Clap clap!

The teacher clapped her hands.

“Kids. Shall we go to daycare now?”

“Yes!”

“Everyone get off and walk your bikes.”

Seungjun said.

“Can’t we ride them?”

“No.”

Yeah. You can’t.

There may not be many cars at this time, but you still have to be careful.

Accidents can be greatly reduced if prevented in advance.

“Then, let’s all go to daycare!”

“Yesss!”

The trains separated.

Siha got off his bike and started walking it.

I stood next to him.

“Siha. Shall Hyung pull it for you?”

“No. Siha can do it.”

“Hyung wants to help?”

“No. Hyung has to rest. Hyung moved his feet a lot.”

“Kuhuk.”

To be considerate to that extent. Consideration King Siha.

“Siha. Shall the teacher pull it for you?”

“Then I’ll give it to Teacher!”

“Why do you give it to the teacher right away! The teacher walked a lot too!”

“Teacher is an adult. Adult.”

“No. Si-hyuk is also an adult?”

“Hyung is Siha’s Hyung, so.”

“Our Siha already knows that his arm bends inward…” [a Korean expression meaning he favors those close to him].

We chatted like that and arrived at daycare.

We wash our hands and spread out our bedding.

It’s nap time now.

“Hyung. Let’s sleep together.”

“Yeah. Okay.”

“Siha changed the blanket!”

“What do you mean, you changed the blanket?”

“Ah?”

I chuckled and just lay down next to Siha.

“Hyung. Lie down here on the pillow.”

“That’s Siha’s pillow.”

“It’s okay. It’s okay. Siha has another pillow.”

“Where is it?”

“Here!”

Siha pointed to my arm.

That’s not your pillow…

Anyway, I took a nap with Siha.

When I woke up later, the twins were also attached to me.

In particular, Seungjun had his foot on my face.

His sleeping habits are terrible.
