Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 417

Hyung, aren’t I cute? 417

Jong-su was finally allowed to put ketchup on his hot dog, under the promise that he wouldn’t mix it with mayonnaise.

The kids were really enjoying their hot dogs.

Since one wasn’t enough, I made a second one while they were eating and brought it to them.

“If anyone wants more, help yourselves.”

They freely put toppings on their second hot dogs.

They also diligently sucked on their drinks with straws, finishing their snack time.

The swords the children had were now grown up and had become toy hammers.

“??”

“Alright, everyone. A very important moment has arrived. If you win just one more time, you can transform your toy hammer into the sword you want.”

“!!!”

“This game is Cham Cham Cham!”

Cham Cham Cham game.

You play rock-paper-scissors. The winner gets the right to attack by saying ‘Cham Cham Cham’ and pointing to the left or right.

The defending side has to turn their head to the left or right to avoid it.

If their head turns in the direction of the hand, they get hit with the toy hammer.

Three hits mean defeat. Three hits mean victory.

Those were the rules.

In some ways, it was a game that required luck, but it was also a game where you couldn’t be psychologically shaken.

“Okay, pair up in twos. You’ll be fighting each other. Unfortunately, the losers won’t be able to transform into swords.”

Only 4 people can evolve into good swords.

That’s the rule.

When the children couldn’t decide who to fight, the teacher, knowing this would happen, held a lottery.

People with the same number will fight each other.

Number 1, Seung-jun vs. Yun-dong.

Number 2, Yeon-ju vs. Jae-hui.

Number 3, Si-ha vs. Jong-su.

Number 4, Hana vs. Eun-woo.

That’s how it was decided.

First, Seung-jun and Yun-dong faced each other.

You could say it was a battle of physical kids.

They play rock-paper-scissors.

“Yes! I won!”

“Hmm.”

Winning at rock-paper-scissors is important, but succeeding at Cham Cham Cham is the most important thing here.

If you fail, the right to attack goes to the opponent.

Seung-jun shouted ‘Cham Cham Cham!’ with the toy hammer, pointing to the left.

Yun-dong’s head quickly turned towards the toy hammer.

“Yes! Yap!”

Bang!

Yun-dong was hit hard on the head.

It was an unstoppable force.

The eyes of the watching children widened.

Jae-hui trembled at the power.

“I’m glad I’m not fighting Seung-jun.”

Yun-dong quietly clenched his fist.

You could tell from his eyes that his competitive spirit was burning fiercely, even though his face was expressionless.

A scary type who gets angry quietly.

Seung-jun is the type who gets angry loudly.

They are both physically strong children, but they have different aspects.

“Rock-paper-scissors!”

“Hoo.”

This time, Yun-dong had the first attack.

Seung-jun’s head turned in the direction Yun-dong’s toy hammer was pointing.

Bang!

“Ugh!”

Yun-dong also hit hard.

But it wasn’t that painful because it was a toy hammer.

A pain that was just unpleasant.

Now, it wasn’t important to win three times.

A fight over who could hit even one more time.

That’s why this game had to be won.

“Rock-paper-scissors!”

Victory favored Yun-dong.

It went to 2 to 2, but Yun-dong was luckier.

There was nothing that could be done about this.

That’s how Yun-dong was able to evolve into the sword he wanted.

“Okay. Next is Yeon-ju and Jae-hui!”

This time, it’s a fight between kids who like each other.

Jae-hui and Yeon-ju play rock-paper-scissors, and Jae-hui wins.

“Gasp!”

“Quickly, do Cham Cham Cham.”

“Okay. Cham Cham Cham! Gasp!”

“Hit me quickly.”

Jae-hui was worried about how to hit her, but Yeon-ju coolly told him to hit her head quickly.

“Um. Yeon-ju. There’s nowhere to hit.”

“Hey. You can hit me here.”

“Um. Then I’ll hit you softly. Okay?”

“Okay. I understand.”

The teacher looked like she wanted them to proceed with the game quickly.

The atmosphere was completely different from the fiercely burning game earlier.

If the last game smelled like fire, this game smelled like flowers.

Tap!

Jae-hui hit her very lightly.

“Ah, what is this~ It’s too soft.”

“Hehehe.”

“Kids. Let’s proceed with the game.”

When the teacher said that, they continued the game again.

This time, Yeon-ju won.

She smiles and hits.

Bang!

Jae-hui gave Yeon-ju a betrayed look.

As expected, Yeon-ju knew how to play the game.

“Okay. Rock-paper-scissors!”

That’s how Yeon-ju, who won 3 times, became the winner.

Jae-hui still had a betrayed look on his face. The shock of being hit ‘Bang!’ 3 times in a row was great.

He was ‘Tap!’, but Yeon-ju was ‘Bang!’ 3 times.

“Jae-hui. Did it hurt a lot?”

“Huh? No.”

“Hey. If it hurt, I was going to rub your head and blow on it.”

“Huh? It hurt!”

“Really?”

Yeon-ju stroked Jae-hui’s head. She blew on it, telling him to get better soon.

Betrayal disappeared from Jae-hui’s face, leaving only a silly expression.

The teacher looked at Yeon-ju and nodded, saying, “How sly~”

Where did she learn those skills?

I wanted to use them at least once.

“Ahem. Next is Si-ha and Jong-su!”

Finally, the battle of rivals(?).

Of course, only Jong-su thinks of him as a rival, and Si-ha has no thoughts.

“Hey. Lee Si-ha. You’re not going easy on me, are you?”

“Yes. Si-ha will go easy.”

“Huh? Hey!”

Si-ha didn’t intend it, but it could be interpreted as Jong-su could go all out, and Si-ha could still win while going easy.

Of course, Si-ha purely meant that he would hit softly.

“Hey! Don’t go easy on me! Hey! I’m not so weak that you can go easy on me!”

“Okay.”

“Did I get tricked somehow?”

Jong-su was confused because Si-ha answered so readily.

Either way, the toy hammer match is what’s important, right?

“Okay! Rock-paper-scissors!”

“Bo!” [Bo is the gesture for ‘scissors’ in Korean rock-paper-scissors]

“I won!”

Jong-su excitedly shook the toy hammer.

It’s not over yet.

“Hoo. Okay. Here I go. I’m going to do Cham Cham Cham?”

“Do it.”

“I’m going to go to the left. Okay?”

Psychological warfare.

It was a form of pressure by saying where he was going to go.

“Okay. Si-ha will go to the left too.”

“What? No, why?”

Reverse psychological warfare.

This makes it impossible to know whether those words are true or not.

By saying that he would willingly fall for it, it became impossible to know whether he would actually go there.

“Ahem. Cham Cham Cham!”

Jong-su actually pointed to the left, and Si-ha also turned his head to the left.

And Si-ha survived.

“Tch!”

“Si-ha really went to the left.”

“What? Ah!”

Lee Si-ha. A man who doesn’t lie.

Since they were facing each other, they had no choice but to be out of sync even if they both went to the left.

Jong-su overlooked that point.

“Keuheuk. That’s cheating!”

“Huh?”

Si-ha tilted his head, not knowing what it was.

“Now it’s Si-ha’s turn.”

He held up the toy hammer and pointed it at Jong-su’s face.

Jong-su was so surprised that he stepped back because it was too close.

“Hey! That’s too close!”

“Really? I didn’t know.”

“You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”

“No. It’s because I’m using the toy hammer for the first time.”

“Liar!”

“It’s true?”

Si-ha picked up the toy hammer again.

Slowly saying Chaam~ Chaam~ Cham!, the toy hammer moved quickly.

In a timing attack that went out of sync, Jong-su unknowingly followed the toy hammer.

“Ugh!”

“Si-ha won!”

Si-ha wins 1. Now it’s time to hit with the toy hammer.

“Si-ha won’t go easy.”

“Hey! Why are you holding the toy hammer upside down!”

“You told me not to go easy on you, didn’t you?”

“No! I meant don’t go easy on me and hit me hard, not hold the toy hammer upside down and hit me hard?!”

You don’t get hurt if you get hit with the toy hammer, but it hurts if you get hit with the plastic handle.

“But Uncle said that hammers are dangerous, so if you’re going to hit, hit with the handle.”

“Hey! Your uncle is weird!”

The teacher nodded.

If you hit with a real hammer, your head would break, but if you hit with the handle, your head probably wouldn’t break.

It was something that made sense, but it was very scary.

But it hurts more if you hit with the handle of the toy hammer.

“Okay.”

Si-ha straightened the toy hammer.

Now Jong-su had a relieved expression.

“Here I go!”

“Hey! Come on!”

“One! Two! Three!”

“Ugh!”

Jong-su squeezed his eyes shut.

It would be a lie to say he wasn’t scared. He was sure he would hit with full power.

But instead of a dull feeling, he heard Si-ha’s words in his ear.

“Four! Five! Six! Seven!”

“Hey! You usually hit when you say one, two, three!”

“Huh? Si-ha is going to count to ten?”

“Hey!”

The toy hammer wasn’t a big deal, but the time when he seemed like he was going to hit but didn’t was unnecessarily tense.

In that sense, Jong-su completely lost the initiative to Si-ha.

Of course, Si-ha didn’t intend to.

“I’m going to do it!”

“Hurry up and do it! It’s just one more round!”

“Okay!”

Si-ha swung the toy hammer.

Bang!

Jong-su was unnecessarily disappointed because he didn’t swing it as hard as he thought.

Thinking about what he was so scared of.

“It hurts if I hit too hard.”

“Hey!”

He made Jong-su’s heart go up and down until the moment he was hit.

“Hey! Hurry up and do it!”

He was really angry.

He made a promise to hit him at least once.

“Rock-paper-scissors!”

“Si-ha won!”

“Keuheuk.”

“Cham Cham Cham!”

“Ugh!”

Once again, Jong-su was caught.

Si-ha hit him again with a ‘Bang’.

And Jong-su lost in the third match.

3 consecutive losses. In the end, he was only going to get hit without being able to hit Si-ha.

“Here I go.”

“Hurry up and hit me.”

Bang!

“Ah!”

Jong-su was surprised by Si-ha’s power and grabbed the spot he was hit, widening his eyes.

It was a face that said he didn’t expect him to hit this hard.

“Wh, wh, what?”

“Uncle said to hit hard at the end.”

“Your uncle is weird! He only teaches you weird things!”

“Our uncle is always weird!”

“??”

Si-ha proudly stuck out his stomach.

It’s natural for his uncle to be weird. Because he’s an angel uncle.

But Jong-su couldn’t understand why he was talking about that so proudly.

He just felt like he had been defeated by Si-ha.

The teacher sorted out the situation.

“Our Jjansu… I mean, Jong-su. The game is over. Si-ha wins!”

Today, Jong-su was also Jjansu [a Korean word for ‘stingy’ or ‘cheap’, often used playfully].

“Next is Hana and Eun-woo’s turn!”

The last 4th round.

A battle of artists.

Hana picks up the toy hammer and sings a song.

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Hammer! It hurts when you hit it. It hurts when you get hit. Actually, it doesn’t hurt. I pretended it hurt. Why? Because that’s more fun. Bang! Bang! Bang! Hammer!”

“Oh! Awesome!”

Eun-woo beats the rhythm with his body from the side.

Groove and hip-hop are already installed.

“If you pretend, you pretend! Cham Cham Cham! Follow the toy hammer. Cham Cham Cham!”

“Oh oh! Swag! Yeah~”

Hana sang hard.

She also takes an ending pose while saying ‘Tta-dan!’ [Similar to ‘Ta-da!’].

Eun-woo responds well, saying ‘Waaaaa!’ He’s almost at the level of a studio audience.

“Is it my turn now?”

“Yes!”

Eun-woo rides the rhythm once and then raps briefly.

“Hammering my hair with a hammer.”

His two fists collide, and one fist goes up to his head. Thud. He hits his head.

“The hammer sinks to the ground.”

The arm holding the fist goes down.

And he gently shakes his head.

“My skull is ringing~ ringing~ Hello!”

He raises one hand again and greets with his hand open.

It seems like he’s showing himself greeting in a dizzy state from being hit by a hammer.

“Everyone together! Pick up the hammer! Ttush Ttush!” [Sound effect or onomatopoeia].

He lifts one foot as it is and hits the air with his fist.

Hammer dance.

“Everyone shout together! Ttush Ttush!”

Before he knew it, the children were following Eun-woo.

“Ttush Ttush!”

“Say it one more time! Ttush Ttush!”

“Ttush! Ttush!”

“You hit it once too! Ttush Ttush!”

“Ttush Ttush!”

They were excited.

Hana and Eun-woo’s match is used to show themselves one more time rather than thinking about winning the game.

It’s like choosing to be funny rather than winning on a variety show.

In a way, it’s Hana’s talent.

Since they had so much fun, the teacher calmed them down.

“Okay. Okay. When are you going to start the game? Let’s do it quickly.”

“Ah, that’s right!”

“Puhaha. I forgot!”

Hana and Eun-woo seemed to have forgotten that they were playing a game.

Well, that can happen.

Because you never know where the children’s attention will go.

It’s already a familiar situation for the teacher.

“Okay, then let’s start!”

Hana and Eun-woo’s match.

The winner was Eun-woo with a score of 1 to 3.

Both of them smile contentedly without caring about winning or losing.

Because they already did what they wanted.

There were 4 matches, and the confrontations were truly diverse.
