Hyung, aren’t I cute? 374
I served a moderate amount of food, but it seemed like a lot since I portioned it according to the number of people.
Of course, that’s what it seemed like to me, who always prepared for two people.
The food I brought out definitely disappeared.
Even if I throw away all the disposable utensils, the regular dishes that held the food will inevitably need to be washed.
It doesn’t matter since we’re drinking, and I’ll be bringing out simple snacks anyway.
“Hyung, we have to do the dishes.”
“Yeah, looks like it.”
It seemed Siha couldn’t just let it pass.
“Hyung, let’s decide who does the dishes, okay? Game, okay?”
He’s been influenced by Professor Oh Sang-hwan, who is serious about games.
Before I could say anything, Ahn Gyeong-ho chimed in.
“As expected! The mascot of our Gyeong Trio company’s game development department! He’s different! Deciding who does the dishes is definitely a game!”
Since when did Siha become the mascot?
KI Publishing and Gyeong Trio, please stop arbitrarily adding Siha as an employee.
Park Gyeong-jun asks what game we should play, saying it’s a good idea.
Sin Gyeong-hwan shakes his head but doesn’t stop him.
He also likes games.
Seo Su-hyeon raises her hand.
“Su-hyeon, there’s no frog game.”
“Ah! Oppa [older brother or male friend]! Would I really make such a suggestion!”
“Yeah.”
“Seriously! That’s not it! I just raised my hand to say it would be nice if it was a game Siha could also play!”
“Ah, really? I thought you were stretching.”
“You wouldn’t just stretch one arm out of nowhere.”
“No. Even if it’s someone else, it’s possible for you.”
“Seriously!”
Baek Dong-hwan raises his hand.
“Let’s play a simple wink game.”
“No, we’ve done that too much.”
“Then shall we play a game that can be done in pairs?”
“Huh?”
“Charades. The pair that gets the fewest correct has to do the dishes.”
“Oh! Good idea!”
“Then let’s team up in pairs.”
At those words, Siha stuck to my leg.
“Siha is with Hyung [older brother or male friend]! Team. Team. Setu [set]! Setu!”
Yeah, I knew you’d do that.
The pairs were roughly decided.
Ahn Gyeong-ho and Park Gyeong-jun started first.
Seeing that, Sin Gyeong-hwan commented, “The crazy guys teamed up.”
Isn’t that too harsh, even if it’s true?
“Siha, we’re last, so let’s do well.”
“Okay!”
Ahn Gyeong-ho guesses and Park Gyeong-jun acts it out.
Baek Dong-hwan is in charge of writing emotions on a sketchbook to present the questions.
“Onomatopoeia is not allowed. You must express it only with your body and face.”
The question came out. The word was [Pleasure].
Park Gyeong-jun awkwardly pretends to sit on a chair, then frowns and strains, stretching his philtrum and making a happy face.
I know what he’s trying to express, but it’s just… dirty.
Siha got excited next to him, shouting, ‘Poop! Poop!’
Oh dear. He’s expressing something kids like.
“Huh? A good bowel movement?! No? Similar? Delight? Joy? Refreshing?”
There seem to be many associated words, so he’s confused.
He barely gets it right and moves on to the next question.
[Upset]
Park Gyeong-jun slightly opens his mouth and clutches his chest.
“It hurts! No? Uh?”
He points to his body with his finger.
He seems to be indicating ‘inside’.
Then he cuts his stomach with the side of his hand.
“Pain! Sensation!”
“Pass!”
[Comfort]
“Huh? Isn’t that the same as before? Good bowel movement? Refreshing?”
The difference between now and when he was pooping is that he’s standing up and rubbing his stomach.
How am I supposed to guess that?
“Comfort! Oh! Correct!”
He got it right?
That’s how they got two right. It’s harder than I thought.
“Next is my turn.”
Sin Gyeong-hwan and Baek Dong-hwan.
Baek Dong-hwan is the one acting it out.
[Heavy]
As soon as he sees it, he lies down and pretends to lift a barbell with difficulty.
No. Doesn’t that mean heavy-hearted?
It seems very Baek Dong-hwan-like to express it with his body.
Of course, Sin Gyeong-hwan easily guessed it.
Next is [Overwhelming]
Baek Dong-hwan lies down again and lifts a barbell.
The expression is the same as [Heavy], but the difference is that he can’t lift it.
He also feels like he’s panting.
No. Wasn’t that an emotional word expressing overwhelming joy?
Why does it look like a fitness word?!
Anyway, it doesn’t seem like an expression, but the two of them guessed it very well.
What is it? It feels like cheating?
Next is Seo Su-hyeon and Uncle.
“Ah, what should I call you? Uncle?”
“You can call me Uncle.”
“Ah, yes! Should I ask the questions? Can you read Korean?”
“No.”
“Ah. Then I’ll ask the questions.”
Seo Su-hyeon has a very uneasy expression.
I have a feeling she’s going to come in last.
Hey. Su-hyeon. Uncle can read Korean and is good at Korean. Don’t be fooled.
But I didn’t say it out loud.
Competition is a cold game.
[Refreshing]
Seo Su-hyeon smiles brightly and winks.
She seemed to be expressing it to spread a burst of fruit juice.
“Oh! No! Seduction!”
“???”
“Oh! I know! Temptation of Wife! [Popular Korean drama]”
“We’re not guessing the name of the drama! Emotion! Emotion! Feeling! Emotion!”
“Okay. Okay.”
She smiles brightly again and dances a refreshing idol dance.
“Dust got in my eye. It’s gritty?”
“Ugh!”
Seo Su-hyeon was frustrated.
Hey. Su-hyeon. Uncle is doing that on purpose.
“Ah, Korean is so difficult!”
“Uncle. Lie!”
“What? Refreshing? Lively?”
Refreshing came out, so they decided to consider it the correct answer.
The questioners are also being fooled.
Well, everyone is seeing Uncle for the first time.
He’s full of mischief. Really.
[Pretty]
Seo Su-hyeon makes a flower 받침 [flower 받침 is a gesture where someone cups their hands around their face like flower petals to appear more attractive] on her face.
“Flower? No. Um. Ah! Looking because I like it? No? What is it?”
Seo Su-hyeon pokes her cheek with her finger, acting cute, but.
“Does it hurt somewhere?”
“No! This uncle! You’re just like my brother!”
Where? Or am I?
Maybe my teasing habit was learned from my uncle since I was young.
Creepy?
As expected, you have insight. There’s a reason why you’re a YouTuber.
Anyway, Seo Su-hyeon and Uncle’s team only got one right.
“Siha, if we get two right, we don’t have to do the dishes.”
“Really?!”
“Yeah. Even if we only get one right, we can re-compete. So let’s definitely get it right.”
“Hyung, Siha will ask the questions!”
“Ah, really?”
“Siha is good.”
“But you can’t read Korean.”
“It’s okay. Just tell Siha! Whisper. Whisper.”
“Ah, that’ll work. Genius?”
What a brilliant idea.
Anyway, Siha was asking the questions.
Okay! No matter how you ask, Hyung will get them all right!
“Hyung, Siha is doing it.”
“Yeah. Do it.”
He covers his eyes with both hands and shakes his head.
“Cute?”
“No.”
He keeps shaking his head, but what is it? He just looks cute. This is a problem. I feel like I’ll only be able to answer cute no matter what he does.
“Ah! Shy?”
“Correct!”
Next, Siha pretends to cry.
He makes a sobbing sound, so this question was immediately eliminated. That’s a shame. It was a very easy question, [Sad].
After hearing Baek Dong-hwan whisper the next question, Siha stared at me intently.
What is that?
“Correct! Cute!”
“No! And Siha is 멋있어 [cool/handsome].”
“Correct. Cool!”
“No.”
Everything is missing the mark. What emotion is it to stare intently?
It’s too difficult, I should pass?
“Pass!”
The answer was [Resentful].
No! It’s hard to express!
But after hearing it, I understand. He was trying to send a resentful look!
I couldn’t tell because his eyes were too sparkling!
If I looked a little harder, I might have seen the resentment.
“Next!”
Siha had a bright expression, as if he had heard something.
He sticks out his stomach and has a proud face.
I think I know what this is.
“Proud!”
“Correct!”
Was that it, after all?
Fortunately, we got out of last place.
Seo Su-hyeon, who had been anxious, ruffled her hair.
Hope has disappeared.
“Baekdong Hyung. Again. Again.”
“Huh? Oh, yeah. There’s still time left. Next is…”
But our Siha seems to want to ask more questions because there’s still time left.
Okay. Hyung will stay with you until the end, so let’s do our best!
Suddenly, Siha winks one eye.
What is this? Isn’t that what Seo Su-hyeon did?
“Cute?”
“No.”
“Pretty!”
“No.”
Lee Siha is showing an example again.
Wink. Wink.
No matter how much I look, I can’t tell, so I said all the emotions that came to mind.
“Sweet. Thankful. Excited. Refreshing. Enjoyable.”
“3, 2, 1. Ding! It’s over.”
But time ran out.
What is the correct answer? Other people have questioning eyes because they don’t know the answer either.
Only Baek Dong-hwan, who whispered it, knows the answer.
“So what’s the answer?”
“The answer is touching.”
“That’s difficult!”
There was a reason why Siha didn’t know what touching was and only winked.
I should have noticed roughly. Crap.
There’s no way he could know all the words.
But the idea itself seemed good. There was something about it that made me say ah! after hearing it.
“Hyung. Did we get three right?”
“No. Two.”
Thud.
Siha was frustrated.
He must be disappointed that he didn’t get three right instead of being in last place.
Is it such a big deal that he didn’t get three right than being in last place?
Anyway, Uncle and Seo Su-hyeon are in charge of doing the dishes.
“Uncle, should we play rock paper scissors? Give it all to one person? Call?”
“Call.”
And the result is.
“Agh! I lost!”
Seo Su-hyeon grabbed her head again.
The person who proposes first usually loses.
Seo Su-hyeon couldn’t escape that either.
She trudges to the sink.
I grabbed Seo Su-hyeon’s shoulder.
“Huh?”
“It’s okay. We have a dishwasher at our house.”
“!!!”
Seo Su-hyeon’s head moves creakily.
“T, then why the dishwashing game?”
“Still, someone has to put the dishes in.”
“That’s true. Yes. That’s true.”
“Do you know how to use it?”
“No. We don’t have one at our house.”
“Then I’ll teach you.”
“Heheh. Yes!”
Why does she like it?
Ah! Is it because there’s a dishwasher?
After all, doing the dishes is annoying.
***
I took a break while using the dishwasher.
Everyone is full.
I laughed for a while while playing a game, but everyone is still waiting for the drinking table.
I have to make a simple snack.
Take out the ingredients and make tuna canapés?
Everyone will be full, so simply…
I took out crackers. I made something with tuna, mayonnaise, and a little pepper, and put cheese on the crackers.
Finally, cut cherry tomatoes in half and put them on top.
Simple snack complete.
“Hyung, what are you doing?”
“Huh? Ah! I made a snack to eat with alcohol.”
“Snack?”
“Yeah. Do you want to see it?”
When I showed Siha what I had put nicely on a plate, his eyes sparkled.
He follows me as I go to put it on the table.
He must like the snack.
I took out cups and poured drinks into each glass, then started the drinking party.
I’m planning to drink simply and end the housewarming.
“Okay. Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
Siha looks at the snack and then at his stomach.
“Hyung, Siha is full, so I can’t eat it all. But it looks so delicious.”
“Right? Don’t eat too much, just eat a little. Okay?”
“Yeah!”
Then Uncle picked up a snack and put it in his mouth in one bite.
“Um! Uncle has to eat it all.”
쏙쏙 [sound of eating].
Two more go in.
An exclamation mark seems to appear on Siha’s head.
“Uncle! Piggy. Piggy! Greedy. You can’t eat it all alone.”
“But Siha said you were too full to eat?”
“No. Siha is full, but I can eat it. This is a snack. 개굴 noona [frog older sister/female friend – referring to Seo Su-hyeon] said there’s a separate snack stomach.”
He must have told Seo Su-hyeon that he was full before telling me.
Seo Su-hyeon nodded as if it were natural.
Uncle snorted.
“Ha! There’s no way there’s a separate dessert stomach in the world.”
“What is dessert?”
“Dessert is English. It’s a snack in Korean.”
“Really?”
“Yeah! But there’s no way there’s a separate snack stomach.”
“No. 개굴 noona [frog older sister/female friend – referring to Seo Su-hyeon] said there is. Right?”
Seo Su-hyeon said.
“Yeah. Yeah. There’s a separate dessert stomach. It can hold as much as you want.”
Siha sticks out his stomach and makes a confident expression.
Uncle smiled when he saw that.
“Really? Then let’s see. If there’s a separate one. Eat this all.”
He grabs the plate and puts it in front of Siha.
“If you eat all of this, it’s true that there’s a separate dessert stomach.”
“Ah?”
He makes such an absurd joke.
Siha hesitated.
“Hyung said it’s more delicious if I eat it with you. So Siha doesn’t eat it all.”
“It’s okay. Hyung can make more. So eat. Eat. Eat it all.”
Even so, it’s impossible to eat it all.
Siha pondered and then said this as if a good idea had come to mind.
“Siha is dieting! Diet! So I can’t eat a lot.”
Everyone burst out laughing at those words.
Uncle looked at Siha with an absurd look.
“You ate a lot for someone on a diet. And you drank two cups of Coolpis [Korean juice drink].”
“Tsk. Uncle doesn’t know about dieting. Doesn’t know.”
“Huh.”
Siha picked up a snack and put it in his mouth.
“Delicious!”
Siha won this time.
