Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 377

Sunday.

Siha tossed and turned in his sleep before opening his eyes.

Since it was a day off from daycare, Si혁 [Si-hyeok] was still asleep.

He usually wakes up early on weekdays and a bit later on weekends.

Of course, Si혁 [Si-hyeok] tended to wake up early even on weekends.

But today, Siha woke up first.

“Woong.”

Siha checked to see if his hyung [older brother] was sleeping soundly next to him.

He lifts the blanket. Hyung’s [older brother’s] body and arms are all there.

He runs downstairs to lift the blanket again.

Hyung’s [older brother’s] legs and feet are also there.

“One, two, three, four, five.”

His toes are also all there.

Si혁 [Si-hyeok] stirs as if a cold breeze suddenly came in, and Siha is startled.

He quietly covers him with the blanket. Then, he spreads the blanket next to Siha and covers Si혁 [Si-hyeok] with it.

“Two is more warm.”

He also puts a pillow next to Si혁’s [Si-hyeok’s] side to help.

Mumble. He’s just mumbling in his sleep, but Siha firmly believes that his hyung [older brother] is cold.

Siha wants to make his hyung [older brother] warmer.

He leaves the room and enters his uncle’s room.

His uncle is kicking the blanket on the bed, scratching his stomach as he sleeps.

He takes the blanket as it is and runs away.

Phantom Thief Siha. He doesn’t care at all whether his uncle is cold or not. The important thing is his hyung [older brother].

He runs and covers his hyung [older brother] with the blanket.

Thinking about whether there’s anything else to cover him with, he remembers that there’s a blanket in Siha’s room.

One for hyung [older brother] and one for Siha.

He immediately goes to his room and puts that blanket on top of his hyung [older brother] as well.

“Hyung [older brother] is igloo now.”

As you know, winter blankets are thick, so with Si혁 [Si-hyeok], Siha, and uncle’s blankets, pillows, and even a blanket on top, it formed a bulging arch.

“Igloo is warm.”

He heard from his hyung [older brother] that igloo houses are warm.

Siha, now that he’s done everything he can, leaves the room with a satisfied expression.

“Hyung’s [older brother’s] phone.”

Siha decided to play hyung’s [older brother’s] game until his hyung [older brother] wakes up.

On the desk in the living room, there was also the laptop that Si혁 [Si-hyeok] had covered yesterday.

When he lifts it up, he sees a black screen.

Siha knew it wasn’t turned on, but he didn’t care. This is hyung’s [older brother’s] game.

He showed off his eagle-strike typing on the laptop with his fingers.

He repeatedly presses the ‘ㅇ’, ‘ㅅ’, ‘ㅎ’ keys.

Tap tap tap.

“Phew. All done. Calling. Hello.”

Siha holds Si혁’s [Si-hyeok’s] phone and pretends to make a phone call.

“How about doing it this way? Did you do it? Okay. Please do it this way. Thank you.”

He shows the virtue of omitting the exact lines. [He’s imitating a phone conversation without knowing the specific words.]

All you need to know is the feeling.

“I have to stand this up.”

Siha stretched out the grip tok [phone grip] attached to the back of his hyung’s [older brother’s] phone.

He was trying to stand it up on the desk, but he dropped it on the floor.

Thud. Crack.

“!!!”

He heard an ominous sound, so he quickly picked up the phone to check, and the grip tok [phone grip] was cracked and broken.

In fact, Si혁 [Si-hyeok] was using it and thought that this grip tok [phone grip] seemed dangerous, but Siha dropping it was the final blow.

“Hurt. Hurt.”

Siha fidgets and opens the drawer under the TV at home.

He took out a penguin character band-aid.

He opened the box, tore off a band-aid, and stuck it on the cracked grip tok [phone grip].

“Big problem. It has to get better quickly.”

Siha strokes the grip tok [phone grip] and sings a song.

“Siha’s hand is a magic hand. Hyung’s [older brother’s] phone is a poop belly. Siha’s hand is a magic hand. Hyung’s [older brother’s] phone is a poop belly.”

It was a phone that suddenly had a poop belly. [Siha is using childish language to describe the broken phone grip.]

He was doing that for a while when he heard his uncle waking up.

“Huh? Where’s my blanket?”

Siha gasped and hid his head in the cushion on the sofa.

There was no time to hide his body and legs.

His uncle comes out scratching his stomach.

“Huh? Why is Siha doing that?”

Then he goes to the kitchen to drink water and looks into Si혁’s [Si-hyeok’s] room.

“My blanket is here. What kind of mountain did you make?”

Si혁 [Si-hyeok] opened his eyes at his uncle’s words.

“Huh?”

Si혁 [Si-hyeok], who had been sleeping like a shrimp, turned his head to the side.

There is a mountain in front of him.

A mountain called a blanket.

“???”

He was wondering what was going on, but he thought Siha must have done it, so he got up.

With a sleepy face, he brushed off the blanket and cleared the mountain that Siha had built.

His uncle is staring at him with a dumbfounded expression.

Siha runs over.

“Hyung [older brother]. Wake up?”

“Yeah. Did Siha do this?”

“Hyung’s [older brother’s] feet were cold, so Siha made them warm!”

“Wow. It was really warm. I thought I was in a sauna.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

His uncle ruffled Siha’s hair.

“Siha. What about uncle? Uncle was cold because he didn’t have a blanket?”

“No. Uncle didn’t cover blanket. Siha saw everything.”

“It’s cold when you wake up! You have to cover yourself with a blanket!”

“It’s okay. It’s okay. Hyung [older brother] is warm, so it’s okay.”

“I’m not okay?”

Si혁 [Si-hyeok] burst out laughing at his uncle, who had been hit hard since morning.

Siha runs somewhere again and comes back.

“Hyung [older brother]!”

“Yeah?”

“Siha broke hyung’s [older brother’s] phone. Siha put a band on it.”

“Oh? That’s right. The grip tok [phone grip] is broken?”

“Yes.”

His uncle smiles at the sight.

“Siha. You caused an accident. It won’t get better even if you put that on.”

“No. It gets better if you put it on.”

“It doesn’t get better even if you put it on when people get hurt?”

“No.”

“Really? Do you want to ask the doctor? If it gets better if you put it on? He’ll say it doesn’t get better? And you have to throw that away because it’s broken. Look. Hyung [older brother] is going to throw it away, right?”

Siha’s eyes widened as he looked at his hyung [older brother].

Si혁 [Si-hyeok] just smiled awkwardly and was embarrassed.

“Hyung [older brother]. Really? Throw it away?”

“Huh? Shouldn’t I throw it away?”

“Then let’s go to the toy hospital. Grandpa will fix it.”

“I don’t think it’ll be easy even if we do that? It’s okay. I can just buy a new one.”

Thud.

Siha puts his hand on the floor.

“Siha made hyung [older brother] throw away poop belly phone.”

“???”

Si혁 [Si-hyeok] is just confused as to why that word suddenly came out.

His uncle says.

“Isn’t it good to throw away poop belly?”

***

When you work at a company, you sometimes need to work overtime.

That’s what happened to Si혁 [Si-hyeok].

Since he was in charge of overseas work, there were times when they had to talk or have meetings together, and because of the time difference, it was after 6 PM.

This didn’t happen often, but this time it couldn’t be helped.

The good thing was that he could leave Siha with his uncle.

“Siha. Hyung [older brother] is going to be a little late today. So, uncle will come to pick you up. Okay?”

“Okay. Hyung [older brother] working?”

“Yeah. It might be late. I think I’ll be there between 7 and 8 o’clock. If it’s late, it’ll be a little after 8 o’clock.”

“Hyung [older brother]. Red hyung [older brother] must quickly finish.”

“Okay. I’ll try my best to finish quickly.”

“Siha will wait until hyung [older brother] comes. I won’t sleep.”

“Okay. Okay. You have to protect the house well with your uncle. Okay?”

“Okay! Siha will protect the house with uncle!”

Siha answered bravely.

His uncle looks at Siha with a dumbfounded expression.

Who is he protecting? That was the expression on his face.

Si혁 [Si-hyeok] said.

“Uncle. You have to eat with Siha.”

“Yeah. Should we go out to eat?”

“Whatever you want, uncle. You can eat with the side dishes here. You can order. Siha eats spicy food well, so it’ll be okay.”

“Okay.”

Si혁 [Si-hyeok] took Siha to daycare and waved goodbye.

Siha looked at his hyung’s [older brother’s] phone while coming to daycare.

The phone with the grip tok [phone grip] peeled off.

Hyung [older brother] hasn’t bought a grip tok [phone grip] yet.

“Siha. What are you thinking about?”

Seungjun knew that Siha was worried and sat down next to him.

“Siha broke hyung’s [older brother’s] poop belly phone.”

“???”

“Here, behind the phone. Poop belly.”

“Ah! I know what that is!”

The two children didn’t know the word grip tok [phone grip], but they roughly understood.

They know it well because they often show videos or stand them up for children these days.

Jongsu heard that and confidently tells him.

“Hey! That’s called a grip tok [phone grip].”

“Gurae tok?”

“No! Grip tok [phone grip]! What gurae are you talking about!”

“Gurae tok?”

“Grip! Tok!”

“Grim! Tok!”

“Are you doing that on purpose!”

Jongsu was frustrated and hit his chest.

He regretted telling him.

Seungjun said.

“But did Siha break it?”

“Siha dropped it and it broke.”

“Ew.”

“Put a band on it. But it doesn’t get better.”

“Wow! But grip toks [phone grips] are hard, so they’re like bones.”

“Huh?”

“Shouldn’t you wear a cast?”

“Cast?”

“Yeah. It’s like fixing a bone with a bandage like this!”

“!!!”

Jongsu, who was listening, shook his head.

As if there was no way that could happen.

“It’d be better to make a new one!”

“!!!”

Siha looked at Jongsu.

And he holds both hands tightly.

Jongsu was embarrassed and looked at Siha, saying, ‘What? What is it?’

“Right! Have to make it! Siha make grip tok [phone grip]! Jongsu is amazing!”

“Huh? Huh? Okay. Let’s make it.”

Jongsu, who was embarrassed for a while, returned to his confident self.

“How is it! Me! Right away! Right?! I thought of it.”

“Amazing!”

“Hahaha. Siha. You couldn’t even think of something this simple? Huh?! Hahaha!”

“But Jongsu. How to make it?”

“Huh? That’s. So. Internet! You can ask the internet to make it!”

“Really?!”

“Yeah. You have to pay too!”

“How much? Have to give a lot of money? Siha has money in piggy bank.”

“I don’t know how much it costs, but I think that’s enough.”

Jongsu said it randomly, but it’s all on the internet if you search for it.

It wasn’t necessarily wrong.

The teacher was listening quietly and suddenly came forward.

“Come to think of it, Siha.”

“Huh?”

“It’s hyung’s [older brother’s] birthday soon.”

“!!!”

“You can give it as a birthday present together.”

“!!!”

The teacher doesn’t usually memorize the birthdays of parents, but the numbers of Siha’s birthday and Si혁’s [Si-hyeok’s] birthday are the same, so she just memorized them.

“The teacher will help you. And everyone, make a grip tok [phone grip].”

“Teacher. You know how to make it?”

“Hehehe. The teacher is a master of making things. Grip toks [phone grips] are easy to make.”

“!!!”

“You can just buy grip toks [phone grips].”

“???”

“The problem is the picture that goes into the grip tok [phone grip]. There was a picture drawn in the circle, right?”

“Yes!”

“If everyone draws that part with a picture, the teacher will print it out nicely and paste it on the grip tok [phone grip]. How is it? Sounds fun, right?”

Gangin Daycare always knows how to capture the topics that children are interested in.

There is a game that children can play in free conversation.

The teacher stroked Siha’s head.

“Think about what kind of picture you’re going to give your hyung [older brother] as a gift.”

“Hyung [older brother] likes Siha’s picture!”

Siha sticks out his stomach and makes a proud expression as if that’s a definite truth.

“Then shall we all think about it and draw?”

“Yes!”

“Ah! Ah! Wait a minute, kids. Just think about it.”

The teacher rushed into the room and printed it out.

Two huge squares were printed.

“Let’s draw here! If you draw here, you can cut it out in a circle and make it.”

“Teacher is so big! Are you making something really big?”

“No. The picture is big, but the teacher will make it small later.”

Siha’s eyes widened.

“Teacher is a magician?”

“Pfft. No. Anyone can do it with a computer.”

“!!! Hyung [older brother] is amazing!”

“???”

The teacher was wondering.

How can hyung [older brother] is amazing come out if you listen to it?

You could figure it out if you thought about it a little.

Anyone can do it if they know how to use a computer. Hyung [older brother] uses a computer. Therefore, hyung [older brother] is amazing.

Maybe that’s how he thought.

It was an amazing algorithm. Even computers would stick out their tongues.

“Ahem. Then everyone, start drawing!”

The children grabbed their crayons.
