Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 382

Hyung, am I cute?

Hyung, am I cute? Episode 382

Yun-dong’s correct answer was guessed by Yeon-ju.

The bowing rice. The scarecrow protecting it.

Seung-jun, sitting next to him, told Si-ha it was a real waste, but Si-ha didn’t think so at all.

Anyway, the other children also expressed the seasons one by one.

Winter: throwing snowballs.

Summer: swimming.

Autumn: reading books.

Everyone was expressing and understanding the characteristics of the seasons very well.

The teacher announced the winner.

“The winner is Yeon-ju, who has the highest score!”

Clap clap clap.

Yeon-ju came forward. The teacher handed her the calendar.

The November calendar page was neatly torn off with a rattling sound.

Revealing the December calendar.

And a large November calendar paper in her hand.

The teacher looked at it and said.

“You can make a big paper airplane with this.”

“!!!”

“But you can do more fun things with this, too.”

The children looked at the teacher, wondering what it was.

She showed the front of the November calendar.

“It’s a November calendar with 30 days. You can play associative drawing with this.”

“Look here. There’s a 1, right? What does a 1 look like?”

“I don’t know.”

“It looks like a pencil! Shall we draw a pencil?”

The teacher drew a pencil in the box with ‘1’ written on it.

Only then did the children realize how to play.

“Then what does 2 look like? Let’s all think about it!”

“Yes!”

“Then fill in all the numbers here.”

The teacher gave them a sketchbook.

Now it was time to draw.

It was too much to do alone, so they decided to do it together.

Si-ha said.

“2 is a duck. A duck.”

“Ah, that’s right!”

“3 is a butt.”

“Wow!”

3 did look like a butt.

Surprisingly, Si-ha was good at this kind of association.

Everyone easily said what they had thought of.

4 is a boat shape, 5 is Captain Hook’s hook, 6 is a lock, 7 is a cane, 8 is two balls, 9 is a balloon with a string, 10 is a donut on a plate, 11 is chopsticks.

I was surprised that the children did so well.

They filled in the numbers one by one with pictures.

The children enjoyed it as if they were solving a quiz.

“Hello?”

Then someone knocked on the door of the daycare center.

The teacher got up and opened the door, and there was a woman.

A bank employee from the school.

“Oh? What brings you here?”

“Ah. I was running an errand nearby, so I thought I’d bring this to you.”

“Wow.”

“It’s a calendar.”

“Thank you. I needed a calendar, so I was thinking of stopping by the bank.”

“Yes. So I just stopped by on my way. The calendar came out today.”

“Ah ha. Thank you.”

“Actually, even if I bring them like this, there are still some left over.”

“I guess so.”

“So you can have one more.”

“Wow. Really? Actually, calendars are good for kids to play with.”

“That’s right. Ah, this is just a desk calendar.”

“Wow.”

“I can only give you one of these. Small desk calendars tend to run out quickly.”

“I guess so.”

“Then I’ll be on my way.”

“Yes. Thank you. Goodbye.”

As the banker left, the children stared at the teacher with blank eyes.

The teacher chuckled and explained what it was.

“It’s next year’s calendar. After December, it’ll all be over, right?”

“Yes!”

“So I got it in advance.”

Si-ha asked curiously.

“Did the teacher buy it?”

“No. I didn’t buy it. They just give it away. Of course, there are places that sell it.”

“!!!”

“Do you want to see it?”

The children ran over to see the calendar.

There was nothing special, but the desk calendar had seasonal scenery.

Today was a time to get to know the calendar.

***

I came home with Si-ha.

He was explaining the game he played today, and I nodded without realizing it.

And.

“Hyung. Si-ha thought of something!”

“Yeah. What is it?”

“Si-ha sell calendar. Sell calendar and turn on the boiler.”

“???”

I thought for a moment about what that meant.

Maybe he means he wants to sell the calendar and donate the money [to help pay for heating]?

Enough to turn on the boiler.

I think I found the answer to the question Uncle threw [posed earlier].

“Uncle. Uncle. Make calendar. Calendar.”

“Huh? Why suddenly a calendar?”

Uncle was lying on the sofa scratching his stomach, and Si-ha blocked his eyes again.

“Uncle told me to sell paintings.”

“Oh? I did. I did say that.”

“So Si-ha make calendar and sell it. Draw pictures too.”

“Oh! I know what you mean!”

“Si-ha make small calendar.”

“Then there must be 12 pictures until December?”

“That’s right! Si-ha thought of everything. Si-ha make spring, summer, fall, winter in picture.”

“Oh. Good. But who are you selling it to?”

“Si-ha sold Pepe before. So sell it again.”

I guess he remembered selling the Pepe plastic model before.

The idea itself is not bad.

This time, we can sell it on a fairly large scale.

And I don’t know how much money will be collected, but it is important to donate even a small amount.

The size of the amount does not matter.

I remember celebrities making calendars on entertainment shows and donating all the proceeds.

Si-ha hasn’t seen such a program, but.

“Si-ha. That’s a good idea. Have you decided on all 12 pictures?”

“No. Si-ha have to think.”

Uncle grinned.

“Then shall I help you?”

“Uncle?”

“I can’t decide everything, but I can think together!”

“!!!”

“Okay. Si-hyuk. You come to your seat too. It’s picture content meeting time.”

What’s wrong with Uncle? He looks very excited.

Well, it doesn’t matter. But wouldn’t 12 pictures be quite difficult?

I hope Si-ha doesn’t overdo it.

Uncle said excitedly.

“Then let’s start with January first. Si-ha. What are you going to draw in January?”

“Si-ha know. Go see the sun in January [referring to watching the sunrise on New Year’s Day].”

“Oh. That’s right. That’s right. You have to go see the New Year. Then are you drawing the sunrise?”

“Ah? Sunrise? What is sunrise? The sun is going out now! Wait! Sun?”

“No? It’s not that the sun is going out now! It’s that the earth is rolling and we’re saying we’re going to see the sun now!”

“Really?! Why is the earth rolling? Is the earth soccer?”

“No. The earth is good at somersaults.”

“!!!”

I don’t know why the story is going there suddenly.

Uncle confidently comes forward and does a somersault.

“Si-ha can’t do this, right?”

“No. Si-ha can do.”

Si-ha puts his head on the ground and rolls forward.

And he gets up, sticks out his stomach, and makes a triumphant expression.

Uncle suddenly rolls backwards.

“Then you can’t do a back roll, right?”

“No. Si-ha can do!”

Uncle keeps talking in a teasing tone, and Si-ha insists that he can do it.

Si-ha lies down and raises his feet up.

He struggles and can’t roll backwards.

“Si-ha. What are you doing?”

“I did everything!”

“Don’t lie. You didn’t roll at all?”

“No. Si-ha legs went up to the sky.”

“Yeah. They did go up, but they stopped.”

“No. Uncle didn’t see. Si-ha rolled and saw the sky again.”

“You always say Uncle is lying, but you’re the liar.”

“Hyung. Si-ha rolled, right?”

I nodded.

Yes! Our Si-ha did a back roll!

“This, this. It’s a complete brother fraud gang. A fraud gang.”

“Uncle. Only good people can see the back roll. So Uncle is…….”

“Wow. Am I a bad person?”

“I didn’t say that?”

“That’s the same thing. Disappointing.”

“No. Think about what you’ve said so far. You told Si-ha before that Uncle is a bad person, so it’s okay to do bad things.”

“You’re using that now?”

When I was young, I was teased by my uncle, but now that I’m older, my uncle is pushed back.

Now we have a relationship like rock-paper-scissors.

Si-ha loses to Uncle, Uncle loses to me, and I lose to Si-ha.

Anyway, that’s it.

“Oh my. I don’t have anyone on my side, so how can I live?”

“Uncle. Si-ha will be on your side. Cheer up.”

“You’re on Hyung’s side.”

“Uncle. Hyung is Red Hyung, so there’s nothing I can do. Uncle understand [Hyung is stronger and more reliable].”

“What are you talking about?”

It must mean that Hyung is better and stronger than Uncle.

I still have a long way to go to understand Si-ha’s language.

“Ahem. Then shall we continue the meeting?”

“Can we finish it all today?”

I don’t think even January has been decided yet?

Anyway, Si-ha says he will draw the New Year in January.

Somewhat unique.

“Draw Red Pepe’s face. Red Pepe’s face is the sun.”

“Amazing.”

Pepe’s red fur will be shining brightly to illuminate the New Year.

“Sea. Sea.”

Red Pepe’s face rising from the sea.

Something like a horror movie in my imagination? His face wasn’t beheaded, was it?

Anyway, it’s a cute face, so it’ll be okay.

“Then February!”

“February?!”

February was quite difficult.

There was Lunar New Year, but that’s what we enjoy in Korea, so Hanbok Pepe [Pepe wearing traditional Korean clothing] was a bit much.

Only countries that celebrate Valentine’s Day celebrate it.

I’m worried. No, isn’t Valentine’s Day a little better?

“We can draw a Valentine’s Day picture. No. Don’t you have a chocolate picture drawn?”

“That’s right! I have!”

“Then we can fill it with that.”

We have to fill it with what we have.

It’s too hard to draw all 12 pictures. Let’s reduce what we can.

Uncle said.

“Then what shall we do for March? I don’t have anything in mind.”

“Uncle! Seo-yi’s month is the most important!”

“Why?”

“Seo-yi is me.”

“???”

It is the month that Si-ha, who likes 3, considers the most important.

Uncle is also worried because he doesn’t have anything in mind.

“Hyung. Si-ha have a good idea!”

“Yeah? What is it?”

“Seo-yi is me. Hyung. Si-ha. Uncle!”

“Huh?”

“Draw Lee Si-ha Lee Si-hyuk Pepe!”

“What was that again?”

“The gift I gave Hyung. Seo-yi is me.”

“Ah! The ㅇㅅㅎ [initials of their names] picture I drew on the tumbler last year?”

“That’s right!”

It was fortunate that it was something I had already drawn, so I had less time to think about the composition.

I’m going to push to reduce the amount of work as much as possible in this meeting.

It is decided one by one like this.

April is Pepe on a sailboat.

May is Pepe holding the bus handle.

And June.

“This is very easy.”

“Uncle have a good idea?”

“It’s what Uncle is good at. Thumbs up!”

Thumbs up. It’s been a while since I heard that.

He raises his thumb and points it up.

In a word, it was Pepe who shouted the best.

“Why is Uncle good at thumbs up? Uncle praise?”

“Uncle is good at praising. King of praise!”

“Liar! Uncle always lie.”

“Not always.”

“Then always play. Play more than Si-ha.”

“Oh? That’s. Right.”

Unemployed Uncle who plays more than Si-ha, who is a child!

Uncle became sullen at the heavy fact.

“Something. Something. I feel like I’ve been hit hard?”

“Uncle. It’s the truth.”

“Why do I have to be hit with such a harsh fact with the June picture?”

“Then you can work.”

“Wow. You guys don’t know, but I work hard too.”

“???”

“Huh?! I get up and see you off! I do the laundry! I hang it up! Huh! How hard do I work on housework!”

“Yes. Thank you!”

“I don’t feel the gratitude? That’s the problem. The problem. There’s a lot of housework, but it doesn’t show no matter how much I do. So it looks like I’m playing.”

“So how much do you watch TV?”

“Oh? Almost all day???”

“I’ll stop here.”

“Wait a minute! Then it looks like I’m really playing every day!”

Aren’t you really playing every day?

Why are you being like this all of a sudden?

“The robot vacuum cleaner does the cleaning, the washing machine does the laundry, and the dryer dries it.”

“Ahem.”

“I cook the rice. I mop the floor when I come home.”

“Ahem. Ahem. Still, I clean the robot vacuum cleaner. No. That’s it! I’m the only bad guy.”

“Pfft. No. It shows. It shows.”

Then Si-ha said.

“Uncle! Have to see what to draw! Still playing.”

“Si-ha. Uncle was talking to Hyung. Why don’t you scold Hyung?”

“Hyung is tired from work. Uncle played.”

“That’s true.”

“Hyung have to rest.”

“Hmph. Uncle is a bad person, so I’ll just keep resting.”

Uncle lay down on the sofa.

He’s teasing Si-ha like that again.

Si-ha’s eyes widened as if he didn’t know Uncle would do this.

And he poked Uncle’s stomach on the sofa.

“Uncle. Si-ha will forgive you once.”

“This kid is really funny.”

Uncle looks at Si-ha in disbelief.

I chuckled at the two of them and was worried.

Is this meeting really going to end today?
