Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 325

Hyung, aren’t I cute? Episode 325

Team 4 is pointing fingers, each accusing someone else.

Of course, Siha chose everyone as the culprit.

With the current information, it’s hard to pinpoint who really did it.

There were hints about the culprit in the teacher’s story, but the children didn’t pick up on them.

And I hoped they wouldn’t.

What else are we going to do this afternoon if this ends too quickly?

“Everyone seems very confused. I’ll give you a hint.”

“!!!”

Everyone stared at the teacher, waiting for the clue.

Of course, I have no intention of just handing it to them.

“Now, you can only get a hint through a great adventure. In short, it’s hidden.”

“!!!”

“Think carefully about the people the teacher mentioned and where those people might have hidden the hint.”

“Yes!”

“Then let’s each look for places where the people we think are the culprits might have hidden it.”

There is always a hint embedded within the problem itself. It makes children think while enjoying their favorite adventures.

It’s educational and fun.

This is the Yoo Da-hee style mystery game I prepared today.

Seung-joon sat Siha in front of him and started discussing their strategy.

“Siha, no matter how I think about it, it seems like it’s the delivery rider.”

“Rider Maja!”

“You think so too!”

“Siha thinks so too!”

Siha thinks everyone is the culprit, a fact Seung-joon is well aware of, but he doesn’t pay much attention to it.

It’s better than excluding everyone from suspicion, I suppose.

“Where would the delivery rider hide the hint?”

“Motorcycle! Motorcycle!”

“Huh? Where’s the motorcycle here?”

“Then a tricycle!”

“That’s it!”

The teacher swallowed a laugh, trying to keep a straight face.

Would a delivery rider drive a tricycle? [A three-wheeled vehicle, often used by children.]

The noodles would be all soggy, and the other food would be cold.

The cold food will become lukewarm and meet a terrible end.

“If you go outside to the bike rack, it will be there.”

“Let’s go quickly with Siha.”

The two put on their shoes and ran towards the wall of the daycare center.

The teacher had no choice but to follow.

The two children, now outside, looked at the wall.

But no matter how hard they looked, there was no hint.

“Ah, it’s not here?”

“Moji? Why upji?” [Mispronunciation of ‘eopji’, meaning ‘isn’t it there?’]

“I know. This was the place.”

“Someone took it? Thief!”

“Wow! Really?!”

“Kids, there’s no hint there originally. Come back to reality.”

At the teacher’s words, the two began to think again.

But do you have to stand here and think?

After standing awkwardly, Seung-joon hit his palm with his fist as if another idea came to mind.

“Siha, the delivery rider carries a bag!”

“!!!”

“So it must be hidden in the bag!”

“The teacher said bag. Bag. Bag!”

The teacher smiled.

Siha is remembering? Smart?

The children excitedly entered the daycare center again.

They head straight to the trash can where only bags are collected for recycling.

“Um. It’s not here?”

“Upseo!” [Korean for ‘it’s not here’]

They circled around the trash can, but it wasn’t visible.

Hey, kids. Would they have hidden it so easily? Don’t give up and cheer up!

“Maybe it’s inside?”

“Jijiji!” [Giggling sound]

“Let’s see anyway.”

Siha and Seung-joon opened the lid of the trash can and looked inside.

But only one bag was inside.

“It’s not here either.”

“No. Look carefully.”

The teacher had no choice but to step in.

Otherwise, the kids would have tried to find another place.

“Huh? It’s not anywhere.”

“Seung-joon, let’s lift this bag here.”

I lifted the bag from the trash can.

There was a picture card exactly underneath it.

“Chajatta!” [Korean for ‘Found it!’]

Siha put her hand in and took out the card.

It simply said [8].

“Siha Ara. It’s eight. Eight!” [Siha knows. It’s eight. Eight!]

“Oh! But what hint is this?”

“Hehehe. You’ll only know if you get other hints. Maybe.”

Perhaps the hint was too difficult for the children.

But I believe they can figure it out.

“I know. It’s not 8, it’s arm. A person with muscles like this is the culprit.”

“Is Baek-dong hyung the culprit?!” [Hyung is a Korean term used by males to address older male friends or brothers.]

Siha opened her eyes wide and was surprised.

The teacher was going to correct it, but decided to leave it alone. If I tell you too much, you’ll get it right quickly.

That’s right. Siha. Baek-dong hyung is not included in the suspects here?

I just corrected it in my mind.

Seung-joon’s face became serious.

“Baek-dong hyung didn’t come out, but does that mean he actually came out?”

“Siha thinks so too.”

No! Don’t think like that! The reasoning is going to the mountains! [Idiom meaning the reasoning is going astray.]

The teacher felt that the Saha team had no chance of getting the answer right.

‘But are the other teams doing well?’

Meanwhile, Jong-soo’s team was thinking about where the hint might be hidden.

“Jae-hwi, where would the pot-bellied man have hidden it?”

“He was holding his stomach, so he wouldn’t have hidden it in his belly fat, right?”

“Shall we look at the principal’s belly fat?”

The principal told them that it wasn’t in his belly fat.

There was also the point that I didn’t want to show my belly fat recklessly.

“Jong-soo, what should I do?”

“Hmm. The man was hungry, so he has to eat. Then it must be hidden in the refrigerator!”

“Oh! That’s right! You’re so Jong-soo!”

The two went to the refrigerator.

When I opened it, there were ingredients and side dishes.

I searched every corner and fell into another 고민 [Korean for ‘worry’].

“Hmm. Where is it? Is it here?”

When I opened the fruit drawer below, there was a card.

“Oh! There it is!”

“Huh? Jong-soo. There’s a 배 [Korean for ‘pear’ or ‘belly’] below.”

“Ah! The pot-bellied man’s 배 was that 배, so it was here?!”

“Maybe it’s really the man’s belly button. Scary!”

The principal reassured Jae-hwi, saying, ‘That can’t be.’

Then he told them not to leave the refrigerator door open for too long.

“I finally got a hint. What is it?”

There was a picture drawn on the card.
A blue man’s picture that is displayed in the bathroom.

Jae-hwi muttered.

“Is the culprit a man?”

“Shh!”

Jong-soo covered Jae-hwi’s mouth and looked around.

No one is listening.

“This is only for us. Got it?”

“Ugh…….”

“We’ve always been in last place. Let’s be first this time!”

“Yeah. Yeon-ju will be disappointed if we’re last.”

“?”

Meanwhile, Yeon-ju and Hana’s team thought that the beautiful magician was the culprit and 고민 [Korean for ‘worry’].

Of course, according to the hint Jong-soo got, women were excluded, but the two didn’t know that yet.

“Yeon-ju, the beautiful magician was wearing a big hat.”

“Yeah. I thought the same thing. Isn’t there a hint where there’s a hat?”

“There’s no hat in the military daycare center?”

“Wouldn’t there be if you looked for it?”

Hana and Yeon-ju looked around, but couldn’t find a hat.

“Hana doesn’t know well.”

Hana sat crouched down, holding her cheeks with both hands.

Yeon-ju 고민 [Korean for ‘worried’] quietly.

The beautiful magician hid the card with great sleight of hand.

“Ah! Isn’t it on the card?”

“Card?”

“We played with cards today.”

“!!!”

The two looked at the card case.

There was nothing around that could be called a hint, so I took out the lid and spread out the cards.

A hint paper was cut appropriately and hidden between the cards.

“Wow! Yeon-ju, I found it. You’re really great.”

“Yeah.”

Yeon-ju raises her chin as if it’s natural and makes a noble expression.

The two looked at the hint.

Again, there was a picture drawn, and an apartment building stood tall.

Hana asked.

“What hint is this? Apartment?”

“Isn’t it someone who lives in an apartment?”

“Then the delivery rider isn’t the culprit?”

“But I don’t know if the delivery rider lives in this apartment or not.”

“Let’s ask the teacher.”

Yeon-ju put the ambiguous hint in her pocket.

Because the other children shouldn’t find out.

“Hana wants to be first this time.”

“Me too.”

Meanwhile, Eun-woo and Yoon-dong were thinking that the security guard was the culprit.

So I’m looking for hints about this.

“Isn’t there really a hint for the security guard?”

“…….”

“No. No. He said elevator, so it must be in the university elevator. Puhahaha.”

“It’ll just be in the daycare center.”

“I think so too. Puhahaha!”

“…….”

First, the two decided to look around the daycare center.

But it’s slow if you just look for it.

It’s not the type to use their heads either.

Strictly speaking, Eun-woo uses his head a little because he raps, and Yoon-dong is the type who is more comfortable moving his body than his head.

“Yoon-dong, maybe. Isn’t it in front of the door? The security guard patrolled there.”

“Siha and Seung-joon went to the front of the daycare center earlier?”

“Then Seung-joon and Siha will find it first?”

“I think it’s better to look for another place.”

Yoon-dong silently searched and accepted Eun-woo’s words.

Eun-woo was so excited that he was full of energy.

“Eun-woo.”

“Puhahaha. Eun-woo!”

“???”

“But why?”

“I think I found it.”

I found a hint attached behind the TV.

Searching around rather than reasoning helped much faster.

Eun-woo’s eyes widened.

“TV? CCTV! Puhahaha. Oh? But was there a hint on the TV because it was CCTV? [Closed-circuit television, a surveillance system]”

“I think so?”

The two children are 추론 [Korean for ‘inferring’] after finding it.

In fact, the teacher’s hint was just a play on words, but it was important to think about the intention of the questioner and get the answer right.

The intention of the questioner that anyone who has taken the exam thinks about!

One step towards getting the right answer today was here.

“But what does it say?”

“Um.”

Yoon-dong looked at the card.

Again, there were no letters written on this hint, but a picture was drawn.

The teacher knows that the children can’t read even if they write letters.

“A circle is drawn?”

“Huh? Circle?”

That’s how all four teams found hints.

***

Now it’s time to guess the culprit.

But the four teams haven’t shared hints yet.

While looking at each other, Jong-soo was the first to speak.

“Shall we exchange hints? Siha?”

“Ah? Hintu?” [Mispronunciation of ‘hint’]

“Yeah. Only you and I know. Got it?”

“Arasseo.” [Korean for ‘Okay’]

“I’ll tell you first. But you have to tell me the truth too.”

“Arasseo. Arasseo. Siha doesn’t lie.” [Korean for ‘Okay. Okay. Siha doesn’t lie.’]

Jong-soo thought that if he got one or two more hints, he would definitely be able to guess the culprit.

First, I’m aiming for Lee Siha.

Grab her shoulder and drag her to the corner.

“Okay, look carefully.”

“Aaa.”

“This is a picture in the men’s bathroom. Man.”

“Men’s bathroom!”

“Hey! Your voice is too loud!”

Everyone heard Siha’s words and whispered.

“Yeon-ju, it’s a men’s bathroom.”

“Hana, then it’s not a beautiful magician?”

“Puhahaha. The culprit is a man!”

“…….”

“Jong, Jong-soo…. What should we do…….”

“Siha. Did you say that?!”

Jong-soo became 허탈 [Korean for ‘dumbfounded’].

Everyone found out. The card that could be traded has disappeared.

I was about to lose my soul.

How can this be? How carefully I told you.

“Hey, Lee Siha. You…….”

“Ako! Mistake! Mistake!” [Sound of frustration, like ‘Oops!’]

Siha hit her forehead.

Mistake? Mistake? If you make a mistake twice, someone else will guess the culprit.

“Ugh. Really. Really.”

“Siha will secretly tell you.”

“It’s not a secret anymore! Ah, no. Tell me your hint. Don’t say it out loud again?”

“Arasseo. Siha will tell you.” [Korean for ‘Okay. Siha will tell you.’]

Siha put both hands to her mouth.

I taught Jong-soo the hint.

“8. 8. 8. 8. Aratchi?” [Korean for ‘Got it?’]

“?”

“Why? Don’t you know? Shall I tell you again?”

“No. Hey! You have to show me the card too. Why are you only talking?”

“Ako!” [Sound of frustration, like ‘Oops!’]

Siha hit her forehead.

“Kkampang. Kkampang.” [Sound of frustration, like ‘Oops!’]

“You’re going to forget. Really!”

Siha showed the card. As I said, 8 was written.

Jong-soo was a little 억울 [Korean for ‘wronged’].

The loss was severe. What hint is that 8 really?

I don’t know at all.

But I couldn’t tell the hint out loud like Siha.

If his hint is revealed and the other children know Siha’s hint, they might get closer to the culprit.

At that moment, Jong-soo felt like he had been hit in the back of the head and stars popped up in front of his eyes.

I turned my head 끼기긱 [Sound of creaking] and looked at Siha.

“Y, you bad. On purpose…. Knowing I can’t say it…. It’s mean. Lee Siha!”

“Ah?”

Siha didn’t know what it was and just looked around.
