Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 41

Hey, aren’t I cute? 41 (41/500)

After drawing all the pictures on the clothes, we took time to let them dry.

The kids were all looking up at the clothes hanging on the hangers, eager to try them on.

I watched them with a happy expression.

They were such adorable kids.

“They’ll dry quickly, so shall we do something else while we wait?”

“Ahhh.”

Siha nodded.

Seungjun and Hana, who were next to me, came up to me and grabbed my arm.

“Soccer! Soccer!”

“Hana wants to play house.”

They all wanted to do something so clearly that it was difficult to choose.

“Siha, what do you want to do?”

“Hyung~” [Older brother]

“Yeah?”

“Hyung~~”

“You want to do what Hyung does?”

Shake, shake.

“You want to play with Hyung?”

Nod, nod.

Where could you find a more wonderful younger sibling than this?

Blood ties are better than friendship after all!

Get a grip.

Siha seems to like anything I do.

Seungjun and Hana complained.

“Soccer. Soccer.”

“Play house!”

I was conflicted.

It would be nice to play soccer, but it was obvious that Hana would have a hard time. But if we played house, the boys probably wouldn’t like it very much.

Shouldn’t we find a middle ground here?

“Then, there’s a way to do both soccer and play house. Do you want to do it?”

The three of them sparkled their eyes.

Alisa, who was behind them, seemed curious about what method there could be.

I took the remaining drawing paper and wrote each of their names.

“Um. You can’t read Korean yet, so I’ll draw pictures too. Watch carefully.”

Nine pictures.

A kitchen knife, banana, bread, cutting board, sink, plate, tomato, refrigerator, blanket.

I wrote down the items in the play house set and said this.

“If you kick the soccer ball and hit one of these, you can acquire that item.”

Seungjun’s eyes lit up.

Hana also nodded as if she liked it.

“Okay. Then, can’t we do both play house and soccer like this?”

“Ahhh.”

Siha hit his palm with his fist.

Where did he learn that?

Anyway, we decided to play house.

“Then, shall we decide on roles? Hana, do you want to decide?”

Originally, the person who proposes this is the one who decides.

“Hana is the mom!”

As expected, she was a child who knew how to choose the most powerful person in the house.

“Si-hyeok oppa [term used by younger girls to address older brothers or male friends] is the dad.”

“Huh? Dad?”

“Yeah!”

“I see…….”

It was a very strange feeling.

I just wanted to play the role of the dog…….

“Oppa is a college student. Siha is an office worker. Lisa is a guppy.”

Alisa tilted her head.

“Guppy?”

“Alisa. It’s the guppy you’re thinking of. A fish. Fish.”

“Si-hyeok. Tell me it’s a lie. Why am I not even a person?”

“Hana is the one who decides.”

I had no choice but to shrug.

“Then, let’s start now!”

Everyone moved busily.

Hana said.

“Okay. Everyone, help with the housework!”

“Ahhh.”

First, Siha got up from his seat and placed a small ball on the ground.

Looking at the paper he had made, he kicked the ball.

Bang.

Unfortunately, it missed the drawing paper and went to the side.

Seungjun stepped forward.

“Siha, I’ll do it.”

Then Hana said.

“You study. Go to your room now.”

It was a strangely realistic line.

A college student does need to study.

“Then, shall I help with the housework too?”

Hana grabbed my arm.

“Honey, rest.”

“Huh? I rest?”

“Yeah. You worked hard. I made food. Eat now.”

I felt strangely favored, but it was nice to rest.

In the meantime, our Siha is trying again.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

Watching Siha, Seungjun scratched his leg as if he wanted to do it too.

“Siha.”

“Huh?”

“I’ll do it secretly. It’s a secret from Mom, okay?”

“Ahhh.”

In the end, the two of them were kicking the ball.

Alisa, who had become a guppy, was watching and trying to get up quietly.

Hana grabbed Alisa’s leg.

“I’m going to cook you as a guppy.”

It was a guppy that had become deformed and had a lot to eat.

While we were doing such a strange play house, the paint dried.

Alisa said.

“Okay. Now that the clothes are all done, let’s try them on.”

Everyone stopped playing and started putting on their clothes.

“Ahhh! Hyung!”

“Wow! It’s a soccer ball!”

“Hana is pretty too!”

I was glad that everyone liked it.

I wonder if they’ll be wearing these clothes all day later.

I should keep these clothes so that Siha can remember them when he grows up.

I took a picture to commemorate it.

Click.

[Comments]

-Sihapepe♡♡♡

-It’s not a 4-cut manga this time!

-But it’s cute!!!

-Are you selling those clothes?

-Limited edition?!

-It doesn’t say that. Everyone, get a grip~

This was the general reaction.

However, there were also many unusual comments.

For example, people who thought there was something else in that picture.

People who made various interpretations.

-You can’t just say that’s cute!

-That’s right. There must be something there. There’s no way he’d just draw a cute character on a tee!

-Then what does that bowl cut mean?

-Haha. You don’t even know that? Look at that bowl cut. That means the southern hemisphere, where penguins live!

-What, really?! That’s what it meant!

Siha just thought of a bowl cut and drew it.

However, the interpreters who saw Sihapepe’s painting, which did not provide any explanation, were heated.

-Okay. Let’s say the bowl cut is that. Then how do you explain the turtleneck t-shirt and the bottomless fashion?

-That’s what’s so great about Sihapepe.

-That’s right!

-Let me know too. What is it?

-If you look there, he’s wearing it in an oversized fit. That represents the increased ice on the island where penguins live due to global warming.

-Oh, come on~

-Are you kidding me? Haven’t you seen the news and Greenpeace’s fundraising recently? (link)

News of penguin deaths due to the surge in floating glaciers.

It was really a perfect timing.

At that time, a picture of this news, penguins, and a white turtleneck tee was uploaded.

Everyone admired the strange timing.

-That’s not all. The bottomless fashion represents death as a result.

-That’s right. Because when you die, you return to the earth. The turtleneck is the tip of the iceberg! Death in the deep sea beneath it. Kya~

In fact, he just didn’t draw the penguin’s legs because they were too short to draw the bottoms.

-Okay. Then what is the gold necklace around his neck last?

-Gold is valuable.

-What does that mean?

-Maybe this is a message to protect global warming and penguins? To donate. Sihapepe’s paintings are warm, right?

-The value of gold used for penguins…….

-Isn’t it a hopeful message that fits the warm painting style?

Siha just drew a cute puppy fashion.

Today’s painting was also full of interpretations that heated up the comments.

Agent Tude met a person in a quiet room.

“I’m greeting you here, Nicold.”

“Haha. Tude. I didn’t expect you to contact me so soon. There’s still a lot of time left for the fashion fair.”

Nicold of Habiness Corporation.

It was a company that not only made textiles but also processed clothing and created brands.

Nicold participated in this fashion fair as a buyer.

He came to get a sense of the patterns and trends of Korean clothing in advance.

To judge whether the local clothing to be presented at this Fashion Fair & Textile Exhibition would work.

“Not yet. Time flies. Anyway, I’m going to make some interesting suggestions today.”

“That’s interesting.”

“Haha. You can look forward to it. This time, I’m going to introduce a model and translator.”

Nicold’s eyes lit up.

I never thought it would be such a story.

“It would be a disaster if you had already found a translator.”

“No. I didn’t find one separately. I was going to hire a translator introduced from Korea.”

“Ah, I see. Then how about a translator who looks like a model? I think it’ll work quite well.”

“A model fit…….”

“He wears clothes tailored to the Habiness brand and deals with buyers. Isn’t it good?”

“Haha.”

Nicold laughed as if it was funny.

“Let’s talk while we eat first. Is this what you call Korean hoe [Sashimi]?”

“That’s right. It’s very delicious.”

Tude took a little wasabi and put it in a soy sauce dish.

“You dip it in here and eat it. This kind of raw food is quite delicious. It’s even better if it’s fresh. The friend I’m going to introduce is also very fresh.”

Tude took out his phone and showed him the picture.

The photos taken at the Kangin fashion show and the photos received from Si-hyeok in advance were passed on.

Nicold smiled slightly and nodded.

“He’s a good model. Do you have any videos?”

“Of course.”

“Haha. The baby next to him is more noticeable.”

“Haha. My eyes go there too.”

“Hmm. Well, I’m thinking of hiring him as a translator, not for a fashion show. Does this friend know this field well?”

“He’ll know some of the jargon. But the real ability of a translator is to be able to coordinate and bring a warm breeze to a bleak atmosphere, right?”

“That’s right. But I can’t judge with just this video.”

Nicold put a piece of hoe in his mouth.

“Tude. Then let’s do this. Can you ask if you can call him?”

“Now?”

“It’s better now, and if it’s later, I don’t think I’ll have much time.”

“Okay.”

“Haha. Tude. This deal is very interesting. Did the agency allow it?”

“I just told the agency that I was going to introduce an interesting friend. It’s a personal interest, so you can give the commission directly to me.”

“I’m looking forward to seeing what part of Tude’s interest has attracted.”

Tude called Si-hyeok with a slight tension.

After a few rings, Si-hyeok answered the phone.

「Hello.」

“Oh. Si-hyeok. This is Tude. Do you remember what I said before?”

「Yes. Of course.」

“I introduced you to Nicold, a buyer from Habiness Corporation, and he wanted to talk to you.”

「Really?」

“Yes. How is it? Can you talk on the phone?”

「Will it work on the phone? I’ll go there right away. Please wait a moment.」

“You’re coming here?”

「Yes. If that’s okay with you. I was introduced as a translator, but can’t I see your face and talk to you?」

Tude chuckled and told Nicold.

“He’s a really interesting friend. That’s definitely right. That confidence is amazing.”

“Actually, this friend made a suggestion to me. He told me to do some business for him.”

“Wow. I really appreciate that passion. I’m even more excited to hear that?”

Tude answered the phone again.

“Did you hear that? This is where…….”

「It’s going to take a while. Can I bring my younger sibling with me?」

Both of them naturally allowed it.

After a while.

Si-hyeok arrived.

The sudden meeting took place, but there was no problem for the two.

It also helped that they finished this work quickly.

Each other’s positions were a little different.

Tude was thinking of quickly turning to another company if it didn’t work out.

Nicold had to quickly find a translator to prepare for this seminar and the buyer’s transaction.

They were people whose time was gold.

Si-hyeok said in English.

「Hello. I’m Lee Si-hyeok. This is my younger sibling Siha.」

「Nice to meet you. Hello to our little friend too?」

“Ahhh. Hi!”

Nicold smiled slightly.

「He’s really cute.」

「More than that, what do you think of me in person?」

「He has a very good impression. Especially when he smiles. I hope this will be an interesting exchange with Korea…. It’s good.」

「Maybe if I step in, even deals that shouldn’t be made will be made a little bit?」

「Haha. That’s a great confidence.」

Nicold really liked this young friend’s spirit.

However, this textile fair, which has a strong business orientation, required even more ability than this.

First of all, there was nothing to point out about the pronunciation.

So I decided to test it a little.

「Do you know anything about fashion confirmation?」

Si-hyeok smiled slightly at Nicold’s question and opened his mouth.
