Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 375

“Hyung, aren’t I cute?”

After a fun party, the next day.

The kids from daycare came over for a housewarming.

Well, it was more like they just came to play at Siha’s house.

The twins looked around.

I told Siha he should show them around the house.

“House tour!”

Siha dragged his friends away.

Looks like he’s going to give them a tour.

“This is Hyung and Siha’s room! Hyung and I sweep here together. We sweep together every day!”

“There’s no bed?”

“No bed. We spread out blankets and sweep.”

“Where do we hide?”

“!!!”

Siha opened a cabinet and pointed to where the blankets were.

“You can hide under these blankets!”

“Ooh! Awesome!”

Seung-jun’s eyes sparkled.

He’s already looking for a place to play hide-and-seek. Just like a kid.

“Hyung’s socks and Siha’s socks are here too.”

“I can’t hide here.”

Hey, Oh Seung-jun. Are you just thinking about hiding here?! How much do you want to play hide-and-seek?!

Siha didn’t seem to care and dragged the kids to introduce them to the fish in the fish tank.

“This is One-P, Two-P, Three-P……”

The fish had multiplied quite a bit.

They were more fertile than I thought.

Siha doesn’t seem to be able to tell them apart, but the names he gives them change every day.

Only the shrimp has maintained its correct name.

If there were two, they would probably change every time.

“They eat so well. So much!”

Jong-su looked at them and said this.

“I used to raise turtles. Siha hasn’t raised turtles, right?”

“Turtle, turtle?”

“Hey! Don’t just make up names!”

“Siha will raise a turtle, turtle later.”

“You don’t even know what turtles like.”

“Turtle, turtle likes Siha.”

“That’s not what I mean!”

Not only was the name of the turtle he would raise in the future decided, but it already liked Siha.

What is this?

Sorry, Siha. I have no intention of raising a turtle.

“This is Uncle’s room. There’s a bed!”

“Wow! A bed!”

“But there are only clothes and a bed!”

Uncle put his clothes and a few belongings in the drawers.

I was surprised that he didn’t buy many of his own things.

But he couldn’t give up the bed.

He told us to buy a bed too, but we said we’d rather sleep on the floor than spend the money.

And to sweep with Siha, we’d have to buy a big bed, which is a bit much.

Eventually, Siha will naturally sweep in his own room, and then we won’t need such a big bed.

If I were to sweep this big bed alone at that time.

I think I’d feel lonely.

“Fluffy, fluffy!”

Siha jumps on the bed.

The kids went up and jumped hard.

Well, Uncle’s bed has become Siha’s toy.

It can’t be helped.

Siha has a talent for turning everything into a toy.

“Now, I’ll show you Siha’s toy room.”

“!!!”

When we entered Siha’s room, there was a desk and chair that had been ordered.

There’s also a toy box and the Pepe plastic model I made before.

“Wow! Siha’s toys!”

There aren’t enough for all the kids from daycare to play with, but it’s true that they’re gradually increasing as I buy them one, two, or three at a time.

There wasn’t a toy that he didn’t play with.

He plays with them all at least once.

“Siha has a new toy too. This is it. Chung-chung. Chung-chung.”

The robot vacuum cleaner. The name Siha gave it was Chung-chung.

I had no choice but to put it in Siha’s room with the charger.

I put it in my room, but the light from the charger was subtly annoying when I slept.

Jong-su said.

“That’s a robot vacuum cleaner, right?”

“Right! It’s Chung-chung.”

“It’s not a toy!”

“No. Chung-chung is a toy. It’s smart. Look. Chung-chung. Clean. Clean.”

When he gave that order, I had no choice but to take out my phone.

I immediately went into the app and pressed start cleaning.

“Starting cleaning!”

“!!!”

The robot vacuum cleaner starts cleaning with a whirring sound.

The children looked surprised.

Well, they think it’s voice recognition, but I’m actually controlling it with the app.

“Chung-chung. Stop!”

“Cleaning stopped.”

“Clean again!”

“Starting cleaning.”

The other children stared at the vacuum cleaner as if they were surprised.

“Wow! It listens to Siha so well!”

Seung-jun exclaims.

When I went to Seung-jun’s house before, did they have a vacuum cleaner instead of a robot vacuum cleaner? I think that’s what it was.

Jong-su scoffed.

“You can press it on the app! Si-hyuk hyung must have pressed it.”

Such a sharp kid.

There’s a reason why he’s called the smart Jong-su.

This is not the time.

I told Uncle next to me to switch phones.

Let’s leave the orders to Uncle now.

“Please press it as Siha says. Okay?”

“Of course. Of course.”

He gives me a thumbs up as if to trust him.

I’m nervous. Should I have just switched phones with the teacher? But it’s too late.

And Jong-su probably knows what the teacher’s phone is.

“No. Hyung. Didn’t press it.”

“Liar! I’m going to check.”

Jong-su came out of Siha’s room.

The other children followed, full of curiosity to see if it was true.

“Si-hyuk hyung. Give me your phone.”

“Huh? Why?”

“I want to see if it does what Siha says.”

“Okay.”

Phone confiscated.

And he looks at Siha and tells him to give an order.

Siha speaks to the robot vacuum cleaner.

“Stop!”

“Cleaning stopped.”

“Bat-chi!”

But Jong-su doesn’t let go of his suspicion.

He looked at the foreign uncle.

Ah. No! Why is there so little trust?

“Siha’s uncle! Give me your phone!”

“Huh? Okay.”

Uncle takes out his phone from his left pocket.

Wait? Why is there another phone there?

Uncle looks at me and smiles.

“Here! Give the order again!”

“Not an order. A request.”

“Anyway!”

“Chung-chung. Clean!”

Uncle smiles and puts his hands behind his back. He takes out his phone from his back pocket and presses the button on the app.

“Returning to charging station.”

“???”

Zhiing.

The robot vacuum cleaner heads to the charger.

“Chung-chung. Are you going to eat and then clean?”

“Pfft.”

I burst out laughing at that.

No, what’s with eating and then cleaning? It’s so funny.

At that point, it seems like a truly independent robot.

Anyway, Uncle’s prankster spirit has returned.

“Starting charging.”

The robot vacuum cleaner started charging.

“Chung-chung. Eat a lot. Jong-su. Chung-chung is not cleaning because it’s eating.”

“Huh? Why is it doing it on its own? It has to listen when I give an order.”

“Not an order. A request. Chung-chung can’t work when it’s hungry.”

“That can’t be!”

“But it said it works when it eats electricity.”

“Huh? That’s right. That’s right, but!”

In the meantime, Chung-chung stopped charging and started cleaning again.

“Chung-chung. Are you full? Are you cleaning again?”

“Cleaning stopped.”

“Why did you suddenly stop? Are you hungry again?”

“Moving to designated area.”

“Chung-chung wants to go somewhere. Chung-chung is playing.”

Uncle is giggling as he looks at Siha.

Oh dear. He’s always playing pranks. He’s turning it into a Chung-chung the disobedient Chung-gae-gu [a Korean expression for someone who does the opposite of what they’re told] who doesn’t listen to Siha.

Isn’t that a pet?

The children follow Chung-chung, looking amazed.

“Taking a walk with Chung-chung!”

Siha. Chung-chung is not a puppy…….

Chung-chung, who goes to the selected area and cleans again. It’s moving on its own.

“No way.”

Jong-su doesn’t know what’s going on and is looking at the two phones.

It’s funny that both of those are Uncle’s phones.

“Jong-su. Give me the phone now.”

“Ah! Yes!”

I got my phone back.

I put it on the table.

Siha looked at Jong-su confidently.

“Look! Chung-chung is smart, right? It cleans and takes walks on its own. But Chung-chung doesn’t go to the bathroom. It’s scared of high places.”

That’s just because there’s a height prevention sensor, so it can’t pass if it’s above a certain height.

Of course, Siha doesn’t know that.

Jae-hui said.

“Wow. I’m scared of heights too. Same as me.”

“Cleaning completed. Returning to charging station.”

Zhiing.

“Is Chung-chung going to eat again? Chung-chung is a pig, so it eats every day.”

Chung-chung is a mukbang [eating broadcast] YouTuber.

Eating electricity 24 hours a day!

I think a video like this will be uploaded in Siha’s head.

Anyway, the introduction of the new pet toy (?) Chung-chung is over.

But it seemed like the house tour wasn’t over yet.

He introduces and brags about the veranda and kitchen from time to time.

I don’t know if this is something to brag about.

Seung-jun said.

“Then we’ve seen everything, so let’s play hide-and-seek now!”

I knew it would be like that?

There was a reason why everyone looked at the structure of the house so hard.

All introductions must be for this.

“Let’s play rock paper scissors.”

“Hyung too.”

“Huh? Can’t Hyung just stay here?”

I guess not.

In the end, we played rock paper scissors together, and I was chosen to be It.

There are so many of them, but they all put out scissors?!

It’s a really ridiculous probability, but it’s turned out like this.

Let’s do our best.

“Ahem. Then I’ll count to 30 from now on. Everyone hide quickly.”

I sat on the sofa, closed my eyes, and counted slowly.

Thump, thump.

I can hear everyone running hard.

Where to hide? Where to hide? You go this way! I’ll hide here.

It’s very noisy.

“Hey! Lee Siha! Don’t come here! Don’t come!”

“Siha wants to do it here too!”

“Hey!”

I can hear Jong-su arguing.

When I counted to about 20, I thought everyone had hidden, but I could still hear them walking around without knowing where to go.

I guess they changed their minds and are going somewhere else.

I don’t know if it’s possible to infer enough from the sound alone, even though I can’t see them.

Is it because I’ve seen it so far?

“30! I’ve counted everything! Did everyone hide!”

Quiet.

When he was three years old, Siha said every time that he had hidden everything, but now that he’s a year older, he doesn’t say that.

I guess four years old know everything.

First, I got up from the sofa and opened Uncle’s room.

Looking at the bulging blanket on the bed, it tells everyone that someone is hiding here.

“I found you!”

“Ah!”

“Hehehe!”

Yeon-ju and Hana put their hands on their stomachs and lie straight.

There are 6 people left.

Even though the house isn’t that big, it must be fun for the kids to hide like this.

“Shall we go to the bathroom next?”

Squeak.

When I went into the bathroom, there was no one there.

But I couldn’t hide that he was hiding behind the door.

Because I could see his feet wearing bathroom slippers.

No. Why are you wearing slippers when you’re hiding in the bathroom?

“I can see your slippers.”

“Ah!”

The person hiding was Jae-hui.

This time I went to the veranda. In fact, there wasn’t a good place to hide here, but he was sticking to the wall and hiding.

“I found Yun-dong.”

Four people left.

Eun-woo, Siha, Jong-su, and Seung-jun are left.

According to what I heard earlier, Siha and Jong-su will be hiding in one place, so I think there are at least three places to look for.

But I roughly know where one place is.

I went to my room and opened the place where the blankets were.

“Ugh! I’ve been caught!”

“Puhaha!”

Seung-jun and Eun-woo are out.

I went to Siha’s room. I opened it with a bang, but there was no sign of anyone.

But Uncle is here.

Ah-ha. I roughly knew where he was hiding.

Closet.

There’s only a closet here.

It’s good to sit and hide where the hangers are.

Just like the kids.

Uncle smiled as if he knew I had noticed.

What is he trying to do again?

I get nervous when he shows that playful smile.

“It’s in Siha’s closet!”

“Pfft.”

He tells me this outright.

I smiled bitterly and opened the closet.

Siha and Jong-su are inside.

“Ah! Uncle! You can’t tell me!”

“That’s right! Siha’s uncle! Why did you tell me!”

Siha and Jong-su agreed for the first time in a long time.

“Hehehe. Why did you hide where Uncle was trying to hide! You have to hide so Uncle can’t see you.”

“Waaah!”

He’s serious about teasing Siha.

“Uncle keeps following Siha!”

“Yeah. Did he?”

“Uncle is It! It! Close your eyes!”

It was a good idea.

Then he won’t be able to follow Siha and teach him.

Uncle said with a smile.

“Sure, why not.”
