Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 348

Hyung, aren’t I cute? Episode 348

After a good water fight, a peaceful time arrives.

It’s about becoming one with the water and wandering around to take in the sights.

I wander around with Siha.

When he thinks the water is too deep, he snuggles close to me.

“Hyung, over there.”

“Do you want to go there?”

The water hits the rock and splashes.

His eyes are shining, like he wants to climb up there.

I gently hold Siha’s waist, worried he might fall.

Places like this rock are great for climbing, but they can be slippery.

“Hyung, Siha jump.”

“You have to do it only where Hyung can see, okay?”

“Okay.”

He jumps straight into the water!

Splash.

His body floats because of the life jacket.

He seems to be jumping well without any fear. Maybe he’ll be as good at diving as a swimmer later?

“Hyung, it’s fun!”

“Yeah, I’m glad it’s fun. But this is dangerous, so you have to do it when you’re with Hyung! Check if there’s anything that could hurt you around.”

“Siha knows everything. I’ve heard it thirty times.”

“Yeah, I’m telling you again because you might forget.”

Siha pointed to the rock.

I guess he wants to jump again.

Should I be glad he’s not doing it from a high place?

“Hyung, the water is dodging.”

“Huh? Oh, it is.”

The water is coming down from above, but it’s shooting straight out as if the rock isn’t an obstacle.

Siha seems amazed by that.

He’s moved by the simple beauty of nature.

Was I like that when I was young?

Now I don’t react as strongly; I just appreciate that the scenery is good.

Green trees surround us, and gray and black stones provide stability.

The clear water flows down smoothly, showing that the colors of these stones aren’t scary at all, but rather decorate the landscape.

Isn’t this enough?

“Hyung, fish!”

“Huh? Where?”

When I looked into the water, I saw small fish gathering.

“Pipi, Ilpi, Ipi, Sampi, Sapi are friends. Friends.”

“I see. They’re friends. Shall we catch them?”

“No. If you catch them, they’ll be separated from their friends.”

“Is that so?”

It’s amazing that there are fish, but I guess he’s not going to catch them.

Usually, everyone tries to catch them.

I guess he doesn’t want to separate his friends?

Still, his eyes are on the fish. He’s observing them.

“Siha doesn’t have rice today, so I can’t give them rice.”

“Yeah. You can’t give them rice.”

“But Hyung, no one gives the fish rice here, so who gives it to them?”

“No one gives it to them; they eat on their own.”

“???”

“Um, they eat insects, seeds, or microorganisms attached to rocks.”

“Insects?! Do they eat ants?”

“Well, I wonder if they eat ants if they come close enough?”

I’ve never seen them eat ants, so I don’t know.

I thought they might eat insects that live in the water.

“What is a microorganism?”

“Um, it’s a very, very small creature. You can’t even see it with a magnifying glass.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. Things look big when you look at them with a magnifying glass, right? But you can’t see these. You can see them with a much more powerful magnifying glass.”

“Is it on the rock?”

“Yeah. Do you want to see it?”

Siha looks at the rock with big eyes, but there’s no way he can see it.

Unless you observe it with a microscope.

“Actually, they’re on Siha’s body too.”

“!!!”

Siha looked all over his body.

“Hyung, does food come out of Siha’s body? Should I give food to the fish?”

“Puhut. No, you don’t have to give it. Oh, right. But there are fish that can feed on Siha’s body.”

“Really?! Siha is not delicious?”

I guess he imagined a fish eating Siha’s body whole.

Siha is not delicious. Don’t eat me.

That would require sharks or piranhas, but I’m not talking about those fish.

“They only eat the dead skin cells that fall off Siha’s skin. The grime that comes out when you scratch? They eat that.”

“Grime?! Disgusting.”

“The fish that eat that are called doctor fish.”

“!!!”

Siha thought for a while and then splashed water as if he understood.

“Siha knows. A doctor is a medical doctor. Medical doctor. A fish is a fish.”

“Oh! That’s right.”

“Doctor fish. Is it a fish doctor? Hyung, did the fish also have a doctor? Siha didn’t know. Let’s raise a doctor fish in our house too. If Pipi [Siha’s pet] is sick, there must be a doctor.”

“That’s right.”

“Siha will rub the grime off my body and give it to you. Then I can raise a doctor fish.”

“Um. Um.”

He’s moving forward with tremendous ideas.

At this rate, I’m going to be raising doctor fish.

“Ah! Seungjun and Hana are holding water guns?”

“Huh?!”

“Let’s hurry up and play with our water guns.”

“Hyung, hurry!”

We left the rock and went to where the twins were.

Seungjun’s mom and dad are also armed with water guns.

Professor Oh Sang-hwan attacks Seungjun and Hana with a playful face.

Seungjun is busy avoiding the water, shouting.

Hana is hiding behind her mother and secretly attacking her father.

Baek Dong-hwan, who played with the children in the beginning, is resting in the shade.

“Hyung, I put water here.”

“Were you filling water while resting?”

“Isn’t it normal to set everything up? Anyway, the kids are only attacking me?”

“It’s because Baek Dong Hyung is a monster.”

“Siha, only you say that. Everyone else calls me a monster. No, just call me a monster!”

I said thank you first and picked up the water gun.

When asked if he wasn’t going to play anymore, he said he would stay here and guard the tent.

Well, one person has to be here.

If someone takes something, they can’t do anything about it.

Well, if Baek Dong-hwan is guarding like that, I don’t think anyone would want to get close.

I can’t imagine what will happen if they get caught once.

“I’m going to listen to music here leisurely.”

“Okay, then rest. I’ll go play more. Oh, right!”

I took out a hat and put it on Siha.

“Huh?”

“Hehehe. Now, if this hat gets wet, you lose.”

“!!!”

I also wore a hat.

Seungjun and Hana shouted.

“Si혁 Hyung [Older brother figure]. What are you doing? Come quickly!”

“Si혁 Oppa [Older brother]. Hurry!”

“Kids, I’m going to play a game with Siha where the person whose hat gets wet loses.”

At that, Seungjun and Hana also wanted to wear hats.

Anyway, I have to dry them later with my clothes.

“Then I’ll tell you the rules. If the hat gets completely wet, you’re out. And you can only fill the water gun three times. I’ll leave this part to your conscience. Surely no one will fill it four times, right?”

That’s how the water gun battle started.

Rather than just shooting each other in the face, the children look excited.

Originally, they like it more when there are rules like this.

Like a shooting game, the bullets are limited and the life force is the hat.

“Then I’ll give you 10 seconds. You have to be away from each other.”

Everyone moves away from each other in the water.

But Siha follows me around.

“Huh? Siha, you have to stay away from Hyung.”

“Siha will protect Hyung!”

“???”

We’re not a team; we’re enemies? This is not a team match.

Well, these kinds of survival games sometimes form tacit alliances.

But this is too fast!

I have nothing to say even if you say it’s a prank from the beginning.

***

The game has begun.

However, the limit of only being able to fill the water gun three times makes you think strategically.

Of course, you can be quite bold when attacking while shooting.

But this is not a real gun, so it takes a long time to fill the water.

That’s when a big gap occurs.

The best thing is to shoot a little and charge together.

“I’m going!”

Seungjun rushes towards Hana.

He leaves the aftermath to me later and attacks first.

It’s Seungjun’s style; he likes to be the striker.

“Kyaa! Oppa, go away!”

Hana runs away and shoots her water gun from time to time.

Seungjun dodges well. He comes quickly, but the speed is slowed down because he has to dodge.

Hana goes to where her mother is.

“You shouldn’t come here?”

Mom snipes Hana.

Hana is embarrassed and moves elsewhere.

Seungjun says ‘Woohoo!’ and keeps shooting his water gun until the water runs out.

“Oppa!”

“Ah!”

Seungjun thought he was in big trouble and ran away without looking back.

Hana thought she was caught and shot her water gun at her hat.

Seeing that scene, I thought it was a good idea to play this game.

“Hyung, an enemy is coming. Uncle. Uncle.”

As if they weren’t father and son, Professor Oh Sang-hwan is aiming for us.

“You guys are cheating and teaming up! You’ll get cursed if you do that in the game too!”

“Siha, attack!”

“Attack~!”

I shamelessly decided to team up. Siha wants to be with Hyung, so I can’t help it.

Two versus one is quite disadvantageous. Because if you attack from both sides, you have no choice but to be hit.

Like in soccer, if you mark two strikers, you have no choice but to turn the ball around unless you have tremendous physical strength.

Pshoo-

A stream of water goes towards the hat.

Looking at the precision, Professor Oh Sang-hwan has no choice but to check me and avoid it.

But Siha behind me sprays water towards the back of my head.

His calm expression as he shoots the water gun was quite funny.

Maybe Siha has a tremendous talent for shooting.

I heard that composure is the most important thing.

Bbibbu bbibbu bbibbu [Sound of pumping water gun].

Siha is pumping the water gun hard.

“Shall we go then?”

“Hyung, who are you going to attack?”

“Um, shall we attack Seungjun first?”

“!!!”

That’s how we walked towards Seungjun.

He was in a fierce battle with Hana, but they were filling water because their water guns ran out of water.

However, they did not neglect to guard the surroundings.

They are looking at each other and hoping that the water will fill the bucket quickly.

“Siha, now is the time. Attack both of them!”

“Attack!”

Me at Seungjun. Siha at Hana.

When we shot water at them, they were startled and ran away, splashing in the water.

At that time, Hana’s mother gave cover fire and attacked me.

Professor Oh Sang-hwan says with a smile.

“Now it’s two versus two!”

Oh dear. Are they forming a team with their family after all?

A melee continues as we shoot water guns at each other. I feel the coolness of the water stream and run away.

It’s surprisingly fun.

Everyone’s hats are somewhat wet.

The first to be eliminated was Seungjun’s mother. It was because she was protecting Hana and got hit by Seungjun.

As I returned to guard the tent, new personnel were added.

Baek Dong-hwan.

“Dong-hwan, why did you bring that water gun?”

“Seungjun’s mother told me to use this as a handicap for joining late.”

A water gun the size of a palm.

It looks even smaller because Baek Dong-hwan is holding it.

Even if you charge that three times, you won’t be able to shoot it a few times.

“You know that the crocodile water gun doesn’t suit you, right?”

“I know.”

“And your hat is perfectly fine?”

“Yes?”

I immediately shot water at the hat.

Siha saw that and said.

“Hyung, Siha will help too!”

Why do you always help me? Don’t forget that we’re actually enemies?

“Hyungnim [Term of respect for older brother], you’re too much!”

Baek Dong-hwan got hit by the hat once and ran away.

Hana and Seungjun also shone their eyes and joined the war. He has already become a public enemy.

Originally, when a strong enemy appears, they join forces to fight.

“It’s a monster! Attack!”

“Attack!”

“Okay, kids, let’s attack.”

Professor Oh Sang-hwan got excited and shot his water gun.

Baek Dong-hwan didn’t stay still and shot his water gun to counterattack, but the range was small, so the small stream of water just drooped down.

It will take a long time to get the hat wet with that.

It’s the first time the water gun looks pitiful.

“Hyung, Siha will finish it.”

“Yeah, okay.”

Siha sneaks somewhere.

Huh? Where are you going?

Then he goes behind Professor Oh Sang-hwan and shoots a water gun at the back of his head.

That’s right.

Today, Lee Siha was a backstabbing killer.

“Oh!”

He turns around, wondering what it is because the back of his head is cool.

Direct hit to the face.

He was also crowned as a front-stabbing killer.

“No! Betrayal!”

I also gave support fire from the side, and Professor Oh Sang-hwan’s hat got completely wet.

Professor Oh Sang-hwan is eliminated.

Originally, these kinds of games are about uniting as one and betraying when the opportunity comes.

There are no eternal allies.

“It’s not betrayal. Siha is on Hyung’s side.”

Yeah. There is an eternal ally.
