Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 376

“Hyung, aren’t I cute?” Episode 376 (376/500)

Uncle was ‘it’ as the hide-and-seek game began.

As if to show off that he was a foreign uncle, he counted in English.

“One! Two! Three!”

The children squealed, scrambling to find hiding spots.

I also needed to hide, but I was having trouble finding a suitable place.

It’s really not easy for adults to hide.

“Hyung, where should we hide?”

“Hmm? Want to hide over there?”

I pointed to a cardboard box.

Even if my body couldn’t fit, Siha would be able to.

“What about you, Hyung?”

“I’ll be nearby.”

“No. Siha and Hyung together.”

“Huh? Okay.”

Siha dragged me to the veranda.

He flipped over a box and went right inside.

Siha nodded and came out.

Then, he covered my head with another box.

“All done!”

“I can see everything. What’s the point of just covering my eyes?”

“Uung. Hyung. Bend down. Just crouch down.”

“No. It still won’t work even if I crouch.”

I showed him how I was crouching down.

Siha felt like he was putting papers around my body, sticking them here and there.

“All done! Big paper wawashte [waste].”

Did he really just make proper paper trash? And suddenly a big piece of trash appeared in the house—wouldn’t they be suspicious?

“Then Hyung, stay still. Siha will hide too.”

I heard the sound of Siha flipping over a box.

With a box that big, it would cover Siha when he crouched down.

But anyone with a keen eye would immediately know it was suspicious.

“Kids, is everyone hidden?”

Silence followed Uncle’s words.

It seemed like everyone had hidden quickly and well.

It was the second time, and everyone seemed to be familiar with the layout of the house.

I could hear Uncle moving around slowly.

“It looks like Lee Si-hyuk no matter who sees it.”

Of course.

Such a big piece of paper trash suddenly appeared!

But instead of picking up the box, I heard the shutter sound of a camera several times.

Is he taking a picture of this?

“That looks like Lee Siha no matter who sees it.”

He said that and took pictures diligently.

Just say you found us quickly! He’s teasing me again like this.

“Ah, or is it not?”

Saying that, he lifted the box covering my head.

No matter how much he pretends not to know, he can’t help but catch me when he sees my body.

“Oh? Siha isn’t here? I thought you’d be hiding together.”

Uncle said, looking at me.

He took a picture of my blank expression again.

Why is he taking pictures of such embarrassing moments! Is this a confirmation kill [a term used in gaming to describe definitively eliminating an opponent]?!?

Uncle wore a playful face as if he’d caught a big one after a long time.

I was dumbfounded and shook it off and got up.

Ah, I have to clean up the paper trash.

I have to clean it up now.

As I straightened the box and cleaned it up, Uncle looked at the box next to Siha.

“Ah. Where is Siha? I can’t find him.”

Saying that, he gently sat on the box.

“Uung.”

He didn’t sit down heavily in case it was too heavy, and I could see the strength in his legs.

Still, he felt the weight, so Siha made a little noise.

“Oh? I heard a sound? Is that Siha? Then if I sit here and rest a little more, I might hear another sound.”

He found everything and is teasing Siha.

He’s a complete master. If it were me, I would have just said, ‘Where’s Siha?’ and tried to give Siha more tension so it could be more fun.

But Uncle’s thoughts are focused only on teasing Siha.

How does he think of such things?

“Oh? I should sit on that box. Ouch!”

He moved the box to his butt and moved quickly.

And turned around.

“Ah! I found Siha.”

“Samchun wies [lies]! Siha knew you were hewe [here]!”

“No way. I really didn’t know.”

“Liar!”

Siha couldn’t shake his suspicion of Uncle.

Of course. Because he sat where Siha was.

And the teasing he had done to Siha so far was enough to make him suspicious.

“I’m telling you the truth. Uncle didn’t know.”

When Uncle made an unfair expression, Siha wondered if it was true and was fooled again.

Oh, my. You’re falling for it again?

Uncle chuckled and left the veranda.

Siha followed such Uncle closely. I guess he’s going to watch how he finds the children together.

“Hyung. Come quickwy [quickly].”

“Yeah. Okay.”

I guess you want to watch with me, Lee Siha.

I had no choice but to follow Uncle closely with Siha.

After all, all the hiding places would be the same, and only the children would be different from before.

When I entered the bathroom, I found Seung-joon lying in the bathroom, hiding.

Uncle said, pretending not to see.

“Oh? No one’s here. Should I see if the water comes out well?”

Shuaa.

When he turned on the water slightly, Seung-joon screamed and got up.

His clothes were a little wet.

But he didn’t seem to care.

It would dry quickly at that rate.

“Then next.”

As expected, he found one person in the blanket closet.

He was lying down, covering himself with a blanket. The blanket was bulging upwards, so it was obvious to anyone that he was here.

“Isn’t anyone here? I should straighten out the blanket.”

Uncle got on top of it.

“Aah!”

Jong-soo’s scream was heard.

Siha looked at the scene and said to Uncle with confident eyes.

“Samchun! You did that on puwpose [purpose]!”

“No way? I really didn’t know, but he’s screaming here.”

“Liar!”

I guess so.

Seeing him joking around to this extent, I can’t help but be sure.

Even so, Uncle sticks to ignorance, which looks mean again.

After finding all the children one way or another, the way they look at Uncle is different.

Ha ha ha. I knew it would be like this.

“Then Si-hyuk, who was found first, is ‘it’?”

“Yes. Uncle, please hide somewhere too.”

That’s how the third hide-and-seek began.

In fact, I hadn’t forgotten the grudge of Uncle taking humiliating pictures of me.

Uncle taught me this when I was young.

Pay back as much as you’ve been done. If you stay still, they’ll think it’s okay to do more.

Today is the day to put those words into practice.

“One, two, three!”

The first thing I did after counting the numbers was to figure out Uncle’s location.

Uncle is lying in his room covered in blankets.

I guess he’s trying to hide while resting because he’s getting tired now.

He’s quite skilled, but this will be poison [a double-edged sword].

I left Uncle alone and left with quiet steps.

First, I found all the children.

And in a quiet voice.

“Kids, Uncle is on the bed over there. But let’s pretend to find Uncle together and go up. Don’t answer. Nod if you understand.”

The children nodded as if it was fun.

Some kids are giggling.

Let’s go! To get revenge!

I attacked on the bed, saying this.

“Oh? Where’s Uncle?”

“Where is Samchun!”

Immediately, we overlapped our bodies in a cross shape.

The kids came up on top of that, one by one.

Ugh. I’m heavy too! But Uncle will be heavier.

“Ugh! Heavy! I give up. I give up.”

“Where’s Uncle? I can’t hear anything?”

“I said I give up! Ugh!”

The children rushed up.

Siha lowered his butt over his head covered with a blanket.

“Where is Samchun?”

“Puheok. What is this butt!”

Uncle put strength into his neck and threw Siha up. He shook off the blanket by shaking his head.

His face was visible.

“I’m here! I’m here.”

“Samchun, I can’t see you.”

Siha covered Uncle’s face with a blanket again.

He is a very kind Lee Siha.

“Ugh!”

For a while, Uncle was crushed by the weight.

This is karma. Karma. So you should have teased the kids appropriately.

“I thought this was my mission site [military term for a dangerous location] after a long time. I felt a threat to my life.”

“Aren’t you exaggerating too much?”

“No. Really.”

Then Uncle’s stomach growled.

“If you survive safely, you’ll be hungry.”

Ding-dong-

And right on time, Teacher Yoo Da-hee came with pizza.

***

I guess they were very hungry because they played so hard.

The children are eating pizza hard.

The way they eat was also diverse.

First, Oh Seung-joon.

“Siha. Is it more delicious to stack two pizzas like a hamburger?”

“Weally [Really]?”

“Yeah. It goes into your mouth a lot, so it’s good.”

Hana shook her head.

“Oppa [Older brother]! If you eat that much, you’ll be very full and it’ll be a big deal!”

“No, I’m not. And Hana, why don’t you eat the back part [crust]?”

“It’s my choice.”

Originally, there are kids who don’t eat the back part.

Yeon-joo says the back part is the most delicious.

I think tastes are different even in these parts.

“Hyung.”

“Yeah?”

“How do you eat it?”

“Hmm. I fold it in half and eat it?”

I’m the type to fold a slice of pizza in half and eat it.

That’s because I like it thick in my mouth.

“Then Siha will eat it that way too!”

“Okay. Thank you.”

It’s a familiar reaction now.

Jong-soo looked at Siha.

“I just like eating it normally like this. I also sprinkle Parmesan cheese here.”

Jong-soo seemed to be the type to sprinkle something on it.

“Does Jong-soo get a perm [permanent hairstyle]?”

“Hey! I’m not saying I’m getting a perm, I’m saying this is Parmesan cheese.”

“Does cheese get a perm? Does the cheese get all curly and fail and become powder?”

“What are you talking about?”

Eun-woo was hooked on Siha’s words and sang a song.

“Curly grandma! Curly! A mountain pass!”

Suddenly, a chorus party.

Everyone stops eating and sings excitedly.

What an amazing unity.

The teacher calms them down.

“Kids, you shouldn’t sing while eating.”

“Yes!”

Mumbling.

It’s good to see them eating well.

Uncle ate hard and looked at Siha.

“Siha.”

“Why, Samchun?”

“They sell much bigger pizzas than this in America. A giant pizza.”

“Liar!”

“Really? Even if everyone here tries to put it in their mouth, they can’t eat it all. Should I show you?”

“Show me!”

Uncle showed him a picture of a very large pizza that was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records on his phone.

Is that America? I can’t know that.

“How is it? Amazing, right?”

“Amazing!”

The children said they wanted to see it too.

Everyone looked at it once and said it was amazing.

If I could read Korean properly, I would have known that it wasn’t a pizza for sale.

I can be fooled because I’m like this.

“Were you very surprised? But this is the biggest pizza on Earth. There’s the biggest pizza in the universe. It’s called the Space Pizza.”

“Space Pizza?!”

“The land Siha is standing on now is pizza. If you’re hungry there, you can tear off the land because it’s pizza and eat it.”

“Weally [Really]?! Amazing!”

“So there are no hungry people.”

“!!!”

“There are mountains too. Parmesan.”

“!!!”

Isn’t that what you were talking about earlier, Parmesan cheese powder?

“Cheese is made of mountains. You know? The cheese picture is triangular, right?”

“Wight [Right]!”

“They always cut off the top of the mountain and it grows back later.”

“!!!”

He talks about the Space Pizza planet so seriously.

Other children are also listening very intently, asking if it’s real.

No. That’s a lie.

“But Samchun. How do you know?”

“Huh? Siha, you don’t know? There’s a robot that can observe the universe in the world. So we send robots to space.”

“Wow!”

Oh? That’s true, though.

Truth and lies are cleverly mixed.

“Siha wants to go too.”

“But it’s not a good Space Pizza for people.”

“Why?”

“Because they eat too much pizza, they’ve become very fat. They’ve become complete pigs.”

“!!!”

“Then when you grow up, you won’t become like Hyung and you’ll grow up like a big balloon?”

“Siha doesn’t want to go. I won’t go.”

“Hehehe.”

“I can just order pizza and eat it.”

Saying that, he takes a bite of pizza.

Uncle keeps chuckling because he finds something so funny.

Siha stares at Uncle intently, sensing something strange.

“Samchun. You lied!”

“What? No way? Is it real?”

“But you smiled stwange [strange].”

“No way? Uncle always smiles like this?”

“…Wight [Right].”

Siha, Uncle always teases you, so that’s how he always smiles.

He had a good feeling, but Siha overlooked that part.
