Hyung, aren’t I cute? Hyung, aren’t I cute? Extra Story – Episode 4 (429/500)
Extra Story 4: Playing All Night (2)
Siha and Uncle grab the steering wheels.
It’s a racing game, so the players are divided left and right.
Siha naturally chooses the red car, and Uncle chooses the yellow car.
Strangely, that yellow color seems full of mischief.
Is this the Uncle effect?
Even the color is dyed with Uncle. Uncle, please apologize to the color yellow.
“Starting now.”
3. 2. 1. START!
The cars accelerate and zoom forward.
Our Siha. He seems to think that slowing down is an insult to this race! He’s driving at top speed.
Even though he should slow down at the curve, he speeds up and crashes into the side.
Uncle calmly passes Siha.
“Hahaha, Siha. You have to drift, or slow down.”
“Uncle, that’s cheating.”
“What’s with the sudden accusation of cheating?”
“You’ve done this before, haven’t you?”
“Hahaha. No. Uncle is doing this for the first time too?”
“Liar!”
I also think it’s a lie.
He’s not only familiar with the controls, but he’s also showing off advanced drifting skills.
Wait a minute?! As a user who has played *Kart Rider* [a popular online racing game], that’s some skilled driving!
“Uncle drives a real car like this. That’s why I’m used to it.”
“Really?!”
“That’s right. Siha should practice now in case there’s an emergency or you need to chase after a bad guy later.”
“Okay.”
I told them to drive safely from behind.
This isn’t a drama. If you chase like that at that speed, there will definitely be an accident. Even drifting like that?
It would be a relief if they didn’t crash into anything.
Of course, I can’t deny the possibility that Uncle has actually done it.
“Uncle, don’t teach Siha useless things.”
“Tsk, tsk. Oh?! There’s a long, straight road. There are no cars at all. How can I not step on it [press the accelerator]?”
“Don’t step on it!”
“I have to step on it. Enjoying the cool speed. Keu.”
“I’ll let you enjoy that speed. On the highway!”
“Agh!”
I punched Uncle in the head.
Uncle is holding the steering wheel, so he can’t do anything about it.
The car in the game shook.
Siha took the opportunity to overtake Uncle.
“Hey. That’s a cheap shot.”
“Uncle, should I give you a tour of Seoul to enjoy the speed? Or a view of the Han River [a major river in Seoul]?”
“No. No!”
“Hey. Don’t refuse.”
“Agh!”
This time, I grabbed Uncle’s face from behind and lifted it up.
Uncle, who can’t take his hands off the game, was helpless.
Siha glances at Uncle and smiles.
“Hahaha! Uncle is funny! Hahaha!”
“Funny. Hey, Si Hyuk, you told me not to teach him weird things, and this is weird.”
I chuckled.
“Anyway, no speeding.”
“Is a speeding scandal okay?”
“Ugh, a dad joke.”
Anyway, I was satisfied because Siha was able to win by punishing Uncle.
Now, if Siha doesn’t make any mistakes, he won’t be able to catch up.
To beat Uncle, who doesn’t show any mercy in the game, you have to do this much.
“Ah, I feel lonely fighting alone.”
I ignored Uncle’s words and took out my phone.
Seo Soo-hyun had sent me a message.
-Seo Soo-hyun: What are you doing?
-Si Hyuk: (Photo of two men playing a game)
-Si Hyuk: Playing games all night, lol [laughing out loud]
-Seo Soo-hyun: What are those two doing, lol
-Seo Soo-hyun: So cute, lol
-Si Hyuk: You too, lol
-Seo Soo-hyun: (Embarrassed frog emoticon)
-Seo Soo-hyun: Oh my, my hands and feet have disappeared [a Korean expression for feeling extremely embarrassed or cringey]
-Si Hyuk: I guess I have to go nurse you again, haha
-Seo Soo-hyun: Waaah!
-Si Hyuk: So you like it?
-Seo Soo-hyun: Very much!
It feels fluffy and ticklish.
Even as I type, my hands and feet are disappearing, and it seems like Seo Soo-hyun is the same.
But it doesn’t feel bad.
If other people saw it, they would just cringe, but being in a relationship seems to imply a good feeling.
“Hyung, Siha won!”
It seems Siha won.
I wanted to keep texting, but I had to focus on Siha when it was time to focus on him.
I replied to Seo Soo-hyun that I was playing with Siha and put down my phone.
“Wow! Our Siha is amazing!”
“Siha is good. Should Siha drive to daycare now?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t have a driver’s license.”
“Then Siha will get a driver’s license!”
“Siha is not old enough, so it’s not possible.”
“Eung?!”
Unfortunately, I can’t hand over the steering wheel to Siha yet.
Lee Siha, the wind is calling you.
Driving is dangerous.
“Hyung, play with Siha.”
“Okay. Let’s play a round.”
Tagging out with Uncle.
Uncle is behind me, laughing.
“Uncle, I’m going to drive aggressively, so the steering wheel might swing into the back of my head.”
“This is a really bad guy!”
He protected my head like this.
I don’t make empty promises. I’m really going to swing it.
Knowing that, Uncle subtly takes a seat behind Siha.
“Uncle, Siha is also aggressive.”
“Hehehe. Yes. Yes.”
Even if he’s aggressive, Lee Siha is just the size to be hugged tightly in Uncle’s arms.
It seemed like he was going to be pranked.
3. 2. 1. START!
The game started.
A racing game on a forest track.
Uncle made a buzzing mosquito sound and landed on Siha’s arm. Poke, poke, poke.
The small tickle made Siha’s body shake.
“Uncle!”
“Why? Is there a mosquito?!”
“It’s Uncle!”
“It’s a mosquito.”
This time, his finger poked Siha’s side. Poke, poke, poke.
“Eing, eing!”
Even though I was going easy on him, Siha’s car crashed into the side, and I had no choice but to stop.
Can we play the game normally?
What’s going on is that we’re fighting in the game and fighting in reality.
Can only people who are good at multitasking play the game?
“Hyung won!”
In the end, I won, but Siha is happy.
He’s still calling me Hyung [older brother or a term of endearment for a close older male friend].
Siha was happy to win or lose when he was with me.
Uncle seemed dissatisfied with that.
“Hey! Your reaction is different with me.”
“Because Uncle is Uncle?”
“What’s that supposed to mean!”
You should have teased Siha appropriately.
It’s all Uncle’s fault.
“But Si Hyuk, now that we’ve played a bit, aren’t you hungry?”
“???”
“As expected, there’s something essential for playing all night.”
“Could it be?”
“It’s late-night snacks!”
Siha’s eyes also sparkled.
Are these two really planning to play all night?
Siha, you’re going to sleep later, right? You will, right?
I don’t know, and I’m planning to sleep in the middle.
“It’s fattening.”
“Uh-huh. Si Hyuk, you shouldn’t say that when you’re eating late-night snacks. Got it?”
“I don’t know.”
“Anyway, it’s late-night snacks!”
Uncle picked up his phone and looked for an app.
Siha was also singing late-night snacks, late-night snacks next to him.
Do you know what late-night snacks are and sing?
“Ribs and fish cake soup!”
“!!!”
“Okay. I ordered it, so shall we play a game until then!”
“Yeah!”
The two of them excitedly grab the controllers again.
Scratch, scratch.
I didn’t really stop them, I just watched them do it.
This feels like parents watching their kids play games!
There’s nothing the three of us can do together, but still.
Still, I’m happy just seeing them having fun.
“Hey!”
“Uncle!”
Uncle aimed for the moment Siha was choosing and made him choose a different car.
Not the red car.
While he was playing that prank, the late-night snacks arrived.
Everyone ate happily and patted their stomachs. It’s already 12 o’clock.
Siha was nodding off as if he was sleepy.
No matter how fun the game is, he can’t hold on because there’s a time to sleep.
“Woong.”
“Siha, it’s past 12 o’clock. We succeeded in playing all night.”
“Yay. Success~”
Nod.
If it’s past 12 o’clock, it’s the next day, so can’t we count it as playing all night?
“Let’s go to sleep now.”
“Okay.”
Siha stretches out his arms.
I smiled and hugged him.
Heavy.
He’s 6 years old now, so he’s very heavy.
I laid him down in bed and put him to sleep.
He falls asleep in an instant.
I should tidy up and sleep too.
“Oh, this game is fun!”
“Ugh, Uncle. Please go to sleep now.”
“Ah~ Just one more round~”
Isn’t that a pattern where one round becomes two rounds?
I don’t know. I guess he’ll do it himself.
I picked up the phone I had put down.
***
Seo Soo-hyun had sent a message saying, “Have fun playing~”.
The 1 [unread message indicator] didn’t disappear.
I wasn’t disappointed. I knew he couldn’t see it because he was playing with Siha.
I know that if I neglect Siha because I’m worried about him, it’s a red light [warning sign] in Seo Soo-hyun’s relationship.
How did we end up dating, but that can’t happen.
In that sense, Seo Soo-hyun decided to make dessert at home.
It’s a time-consuming task, so it’s a good time to make it now.
Make coffee and develop desserts.
There’s a lot to do in the future.
The money to open a cafe is also accumulating, so I can draw a fun future.
“Heu-heung~”
I hummed and shaped the dough I had made.
I was going to bake cookies.
Maybe it would be nice to meet Si Hyuk tomorrow and give them to him.
It’s just to taste, but if I make this much, it’s really difficult to get it all into my stomach.
I usually share it with people around me. But now I’m happy that I can give it to Si Hyuk.
“I have to give him the prettiest one~!”
I’m going to give it to other people too, but I’m going to give Si Hyuk the most carefully selected one.
Of course, it’s important to have a consistent taste and shape, but there are still prettier ones among them.
If they all look the same, I’m going to wrap them up more beautifully.
When I put it in the oven like that, the time comes when I have to wait blankly.
I take out my phone and watch videos related to Si Hyuk.
The video that became famous as a movie translator.
The topic has subsided a bit, but the video views are still quite high.
Seo Soo-hyun looked at the comments and replied.
Of course, not with the original Seo Soo-hyun channel account, but with an account for watching videos personally.
-Wow~ My boyfriend is here?
-Soo-hyun: He’s my boyfriend?!
-How can he be so good at translating, so good at interpreting, and so handsome?
-Soo-hyun: Ahem!
-Oppa~ Marry me!
-Soo-hyun: I called dibs first, so don’t covet him
-??? Funny sister!
-Soo-hyun: I’m a bit funny. That’s why he likes me.
-???
-Ugh, it’s all plastic surgery. I hate plastic monsters
-Soo-hyun: Anyone can see it’s natural, you crazy b*tch…
Of course, there were also these malicious comments.
Si Hyuk wouldn’t care, but Seo Soo-hyun got angry every time she saw these comments.
While I was fighting like that, the cookies were all baked.
“Oh!”
Now all I have to do is let it cool.
It smelled sweet, so it seemed to be made very well.
Of course, I have to feel the texture and taste it myself.
I put in coffee flavor and chocolate chips, but if the chocolate flavor is too strong, it will become a chocolate cookie, which is a failure.
Of course, people who like chocolate will like it, but then I don’t think they’ll eat coffee chocolate cookies when they eat chocolate cookies.
Chocolate is a supplement, and the key is to have a strong coffee scent.
“Huh? Oh!”
While I was watching the cookies being made, I got a message from Si Hyuk.
-Si Hyuk: lol I had fun playing. Thanks~
-Soo-hyun: Oppa. Oppa!
-Si Hyuk: Oh? You’re not asleep?
-Soo-hyun: Yeah, I’m not asleep! I made cookies, so please eat them tomorrow, Oppa!
-Si Hyuk: Ooh~ For sale?
-Soo-hyun: I’m developing it for sale for now~
-Si Hyuk: I’ll give you a very cold evaluation!
-Soo-hyun: Please give me a subjective opinion with a girlfriend advantage~
-Si Hyuk: Can I call?
-Soo-hyun: Totally!!! I’ll do it!
-Si Hyuk: lol
Soo-hyun put wireless earphones in her ears and lay down on the bed.
The ringing tone goes.
“Hello! Oppa?”
「Yeah.」
“How did you know I wanted to talk on the phone like this at night?”
「I could tell just by looking at your reply.」
“Was it obvious?”
「It’s not just obvious with you. Aren’t you leaking it here and there to people you don’t know?」
“Hey~ Would I do that.”
Seo Soo-hyun was taken aback by the fact that she had made it so obvious in her reply earlier, but she said it nonchalantly.
I wonder if this Oppa noticed that too?
I kind of think that.
“Oppa, let’s have a secret relationship. Secret. Don’t bother telling people around you. Don’t show it off.”
「Huh?」
“What is it? This Oppa. Did you already tell everyone else? Oh, geez.”
「No. Uncle knows we went on a date. I didn’t say anything.」
“Oh my~ You told everyone in the neighborhood.”
「Why are you saying I told everyone in the neighborhood with this again? Who did you tell?」
“I haven’t even been together for that long, who would I tell?”
Seo Soo-hyun remembered replying again, but decided to count it as not showing off with the weapon of anonymity.
「But do we have to have a secret relationship?」
“I really want to have a secret relationship. Of course, I’ll find out later, but still~”
「Puhut. Okay. I’ll do it if you croak like a frog [another Korean expression, meaning to do something embarrassing or silly].」
“This Oppa, really!”
「Puhut!」
Seo Soo-hyun also laughed along with Si Hyuk’s laughter.
I loved talking on the phone all night like this.
