Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 349

“Hyung, aren’t I cute?” Episode 349

Let’s sort out who’s left: Seung-jun, Hana, Siha, me, and Baek Dong-hwan. Five of us are still in it, looking at each other.

The hats are almost completely soaked.

I should probably be out, but let’s keep going.

Siha is glued to my side, keeping watch.

But I won’t be able to protect him.

I’m not small enough to hide behind Siha, and because of the height difference, I can’t guard his hat.

I could hide Siha behind me, like Seung-jun’s mom did.

“Hoo.”

Baek Dong-hwan is in the stream.

He’s hanging back with his little, uncharged alligator water gun.

Ready to spray if a giant hand comes near.

A trick, so to speak.

Since you’re only out if your hat is completely wet, it doesn’t have to be a water gun.

“Hyung, we have to attack.”

“Yeah, but he’s pretty far away.”

He’s far enough that we’d have to go into the water to get within Baek Dong-hwan’s range.

Can we avoid getting splashed if we go in?

“Then let’s leave Baek Dong hyung alone and do it.”

“??”

“Siha is smart, right?”

“Incredibly.”

We can leave Baek Dong-hwan alone and target Seung-jun and Hana.

Siha immediately steps forward.

He attacks Seung-jun, who’s staring blankly at Baek Dong-hwan, as he is.

Pshoo!

“Ah!”

Seung-jun jumps back.

Bbi-ggu, bbi-ggu.

He shoots the gun. Pshweek. Only air comes out. Seung-jun can’t refill the water now.

“Eek!”

Yeah, we have no choice but to go into the water.

It’s the same strategy as Baek Dong-hwan, who is far away.

Siha shoots the water gun at Seung-jun, who is moving away.

Seung-jun shakes his head, trying to dodge, but it hits him square on.

That looks wet enough, right?

“Huh? Seung-jun, behind you!”

A giant shadow looms behind Seung-jun.

Baek Dong-hwan sprays water like a shark hunting its prey.

Chwaa!

The hat is completely soaked, no question about it.

“Eek! It’s a monster!”

“Ehehehe! Seung-jun is out!”

While I was watching them, my head suddenly got wet.

Hana took advantage of an opening and shot.

“Ah! Hyung!”

“Huh? Your hat looks completely wet?”

“No, it’ll dry.”

“That’s cheating. Hyung is out too.”

Three people left.

Siha had a final battle with Hana to avenge his hyung.

Baek Dong-hwan is slowly approaching from afar.

He’s aiming for an easy win.

“Hana, Geunyu [Geunyu is a nickname] is coming.”

“Ah! The monster is coming!”

A brief lull.

They’re sizing each other up, facing off.

It’s a situation where they’re wary of attacking.

The first to move was, of course, Baek Dong-hwan.

He quickly broke away and approached the children.

Siha and Hana are surprised and shoot water guns, but they’re blocked by his giant hand.

“Got you!”

Lee Siha was caught first.

Baek Dong-hwan runs to drag him into the water.

“No way!”

“Ehehehe.”

Baek Dong-hwan’s hand touches the stream and splashes it directly on Siha’s head.

But it wasn’t Siha’s hat that got hit, but his hair.

As he was being dragged away, Siha took off his hat and threw it outside.

Our Siha. His quick thinking is amazing!

“Hehehe!”

But the enemy wasn’t just Baek Dong-hwan.

Hana shoots a water gun at Siha’s hat, which is lying on the ground.

It’s completely soaked, and Siha is out.

It was a shame, but it was bound to happen anyway.

“Siha is out with hyung!”

Siha is cheerful even though he was eliminated.

Yeah, it’s good if being out means being with hyung?!

“Kyaa!”

Hana is struggling, stuck at Baek Dong-hwan’s side.

It was the last stand.

I can’t stop that. The moment you bring a monster into a human fight, the genre changes.

“Hyungnim [term of respect]. I won.”

“But you really feel more like a monster when you’re in the water.”

“Hyung, no. It’s Geunyu.”

Baek Dong-hwan says, ‘You’re too much, hyungnim.’

Is Siha’s comment okay now?! You’ve become muscles, not a human?!

Well, the water gun competition ended like this.

It’s enough if the kids had fun.

***

The children are taking a nap in the tent.

It’s sad to see them sweating because it’s hot. They’ll probably wake up soon.

While I was fanning the children, Baek Dong-hwan took out a watermelon and started cutting it.

He also takes out the ice from the icebox.

There was also a pineapple can and cider inside, and he put them in and made hwachae [Korean fruit punch].

He didn’t just bring the ice to keep the watermelon cool.

You had a plan.

“Hyungnim, I’m done. Try it.”

He gives it to me in a glass bowl, and it’s quite delicious.

It’s cool, which is nice.

“Oh! Awesome!”

“You can feed it to the kids when they wake up.”

Baek Dong-hwan starts eating with a satisfied expression.

Professor Oh Sang-hwan and Seung-jun’s mom also praised it as delicious.

“Hyung?”

Siha wakes up groggily.

He hugs me with his eyes half-closed.

“Hot.”

“Why are you hugging me when it’s hot?”

“It’s good to be together even if it’s hot.”

“!!!”

Where did you learn such a thing…….

Anyway, I fanned Siha again.

The other children woke up too.

“This is cool. Let’s eat.”

“What is this? Is it watermelon?”

“Yeah. Baek Dong hyung put watermelon, pineapple, cider, and what else? Anyway, he made it. It’s cool and delicious.”

“!!!”

I stuck a watermelon on a fork and put it in Siha’s mouth.

I also made him slurp the juice inside.

He has an expression with an exclamation mark.

“Hyung. It’s delicious! Baek Dong hyung. Amazing.”

“Pineapple is also delicious.”

“Pineapple? Siha knows. Apple is an apple. Apple. Pine is.”

No way. He’s not talking about something that’s dug out, is he? That’s Korean?

“I’m fine thank you’s fine. So apple thank you. Apple thank you fruit. Right?”

“??”

“No?”

This is direct translation!

Actually, it’s ‘pine’ not ‘fine’.

“Ahem. Too bad. Pineapple is a fruit that looks like this.”

When I showed Siha a picture of a pineapple on my phone, he blinked his eyes as if he was amazed.

“It’s a turtle’s back.”

“Puh-huh. It does look like that.”

Siha ate the hwachae, now knowing everything.

Baek Dong-hwan is taking another bowl and sharing it with Seung-jun and Hana.

“I brought Siha’s too.”

“Siha eats with hyung.”

“Siha, you’re eating alone?”

“No. Siha is giving it.”

Siha picks up a watermelon with a fork and puts it in my mouth.

Baek Dong-hwan smiles and gives me the bowl, telling me to eat a lot.

Another fork appeared.

“But you didn’t prepare plastic bowls?”

“Yes. Plastic emits waste. And you can wash the dishes nearby. It’s not like there’s a campsite for nothing.”

Don’t tell me you’re looking at the campsite angle here?!

“I’m not going camping. Oh, right. There’s a walking path near this hotel.”

“A walk in this heat?”

“That’s not the problem. There’s something special.”

“??”

“There’s a maze.”

“Suddenly?!”

“Yes. A maze garden. The kids will love it.”

“Ah, that was a maze?”

I saw something like a thicket while driving, but I didn’t know it was a maze.

I just thought the garden was well-maintained on an open field.

It might be good to go there?

“Hyung. Can Siha eat hyung’s?”

“Huh? Ah. Yeah. You were eating hyung’s from the beginning anyway.”

“Really?!”

Why are you looking at me as if you heard it for the first time?

Anyway, it’s funny.

Seung-jun and Hana ate everything clean and asked for another bowl.

Well, the glass bowls aren’t that big.

“Hyung. Let’s play in the water again after eating everything.”

“Aren’t you tired of it?”

“It’s fun!”

Seung-jun and Hana agreed with Siha’s words.

“That’s right! It’s really fun! I want to go in again and cool off!”

“Hana too! Hana too! I really like playing in the water!”

I enjoyed playing in the water, so I don’t want to go in again.

But the children are different.

When will you get tired?

“Siha, let’s go.”

The children put on the life jackets they were stopping and go into the water.

I quietly watched the scene.

I really like that energetic look.

There are times when it’s hard, but it all becomes a memory.

Of course, it will gradually disappear from my memory, but it is important that only good feelings remain in my heart.

“Why don’t children get tired?”

Baek Dong-hwan sat down next to me and ate hwachae.

But why does your bowl look bigger? Only you have a different size? It’s like you’re eating hwachae as a meal, not a snack?

I thought about it and put it in.

It’s not that I don’t understand when I see that size.

“I think it’s because they recover faster than they get tired.”

“Ah! I think that’s true. It feels like recovery is faster than getting tired?”

“Thank you.”

“Yes?”

“I feel like I’ve come to the valley in a long time. I haven’t been there since I was a kid, except for once or twice.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah.”

I remember those few memories.

I came with my father and had fun playing in the water.

“I didn’t like it a little when I was young.”

“Why? Don’t you like water?”

“No. There are too many families.”

“Ah…….”

Most families in the valley have a mom and a dad. I was envious of that. I just splashed more water on my father.

I’m having fun too. We’re having just as much fun.

Still, I felt bad for no reason.

So, I didn’t say let’s go again when I was young.

I also hated elementary school sports day.

There were too many moms. I don’t have one. I liked my dad waving his hand in it so much. I was so sad.

I couldn’t describe the feeling at that moment.

“I thought I wouldn’t go twice, but I went one more time in middle school.”

“With a friend?”

“No. There is. Foreign uncle.”

That uncle who I don’t have contact with now, what is he doing.

If I had to say the second family that was newly created in my life, I would say that uncle.

He taught me a lot of things that I would be scolded by my father, like a playful uncle, and he also had a great influence on my adolescence.

Where is he now?

Maybe he’s doing a suspicious mission in some foreign country, so he can’t even contact me.

It wasn’t just once or twice that he came over several years.

But if things are all over this year or next year and he comes, I don’t know what face to make.

What should I say…….

But I can imagine.

The question my uncle will ask me when he comes.

He’s going to look around, saying, ‘Where did Jang Hyuk go?’

“If he’s a foreigner, he’s not related by blood, right?”

“Yeah. Biologically, he’s a complete stranger.”

“Hmm.”

“He’s not married either.”

“Ooh.”

“He threw me into the deep valley. He said that if I’m a middle school student, I have to swim and survive on my own.”

“He’s an amazing person?!”

“He was a bit of an immature uncle. He got hit in the back by my father. I didn’t know how to swim back then. After that, my father told me to learn to swim.”

“You didn’t fall into the water and sink, did you?”

“I held my breath and dived to where my feet could reach. What.”

“You deserve to be hit?”

“I guess.”

Now that’s a memory too.

“Hyung!”

Siha runs over. I got up from my seat wondering what was going on.

“Why? Are you done playing?”

“No. Siha wants to jump. Seung-jun and Hana want to do it too.”

“Ah. Jump.”

“You can only do it if hyung is there. Siha knows everything.”

“Yeah. I said that. But did you brag?”

“Siha bragged that he jumped from there!”

Siha stuck out his stomach with a proud expression.

I knew it. That’s why Seung-jun and Hana want to do it too. You stirred up curiosity!

I poked between the life jacket with my finger for no reason.

Cock!

I pressed exactly on the navel.

“Ako! [sound of pain]”

Siha grabbed his stomach and stepped back.

“Siha’s belly button is very deep. You have to jump from there!”

“Why?”

You’re really great at making reasons!

“Okay. Let’s go. Hyung will dive you.”

I was dived by my uncle, but Siha dives on his own.

So I’m happier.
