Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 449

“Hyung, aren’t I cute? Hyung, aren’t I cute? Extra-24 (449/500)”

Extra 24: Head of the Environmental Beautification Department (2)

Only after arguing that the money couldn’t be used for such things, I could barely hear the next story.

A camera. This also couldn’t be bought.

Next was the clothing introduction corner.

“Hmm. That seems good.”

The homeroom teacher nodded.

Since there are many fashion YouTubers, it seemed okay to have such a corner.

The problem was the hassle of having to change it every time.

“Teacher, next is rap.”

“That’s…”

“We just need speakers.”

“That would be tough.”

The moment he said rap, I knew who had suggested the idea.

Anyway, after listening to various ideas.

“Siha, you don’t have to include all the opinions. And, well, it might be reduced due to budget issues.”

“Can’t we buy everything?”

“Yeah. Because such a large amount of money won’t be allocated for decorating the bulletin board.”

Even though Kangin Elementary School has a large budget, it doesn’t mean they can spend it recklessly.

Rather, because there is a large budget, they thoroughly record and verify where it is spent.

“Shall we think about how to decorate it later with the teacher?”

“Yes!”

“You should also think about sketching it out.”

“I’ll think about it too.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

Siha bowed and left the faculty room.

The homeroom teacher leaned back in the chair.

It felt like he had used a lot of mental energy.

The teacher next to him started talking.

“Is that child perhaps from Kangin Kindergarten?”

“Yes.”

“I knew it. There was something different about him compared to other first graders.”

“The other kids are like that too.”

“I knew it. I knew it. Wow. There hasn’t been a child who came with such opinions about the bulletin board, right? We usually help them a lot.”

“That’s true.”

“And financial planning. I knew it. I knew it.”

“Hahaha. Even so, we can’t buy speakers and cameras.”

If he starts increasing the given money by more than 10 times, he might be able to buy them.

If there was such a reliable financial plan, I would want to do it myself.

“Still, it’s a good idea.”

“That’s… well.”

The homeroom teacher also acknowledged that part.

But you know how it is. It’s comfortable to do things alone, but tiring to do them with everyone.

Of course, the kids are fun, but they have so much energy that there are parts I can’t keep up with.

“What should I do with that?”

“If you think carefully, they might give it to you again?”

“Hahaha.”

Decorating the bulletin board felt like a huge homework assignment for the homeroom teachers.

Still, the ideas Siha brought were quite useful, so it seemed like they could make it sufficiently.

***

Lunchtime.

Siha was thinking about what the homeroom teacher had said today.

A sketch.

He knew to some extent how to draw such pictures.

He had been drawing since he was young, so he was familiar with it.

He also knew that he couldn’t install machines on the bulletin board.

That meant he had no choice but to decorate it with paper.

“Woong.”

“Siha, what are you doing?”

Seungjun appeared next to Siha.

“I’m going to draw how to decorate the bulletin board.”

“Oh! In a notebook?”

“Yeah.”

“Awesome! Can I watch?”

“Yeah. But it won’t be fun to watch?”

“No, it’s fun.”

Today, the kids who play soccer didn’t gather, so there was plenty of time during lunch.

So Siha was able to sit at his desk and open his notebook.

“Then, I’ll draw.”

“Have you already thought everything through?”

“Yeah.”

Siha opened his notebook.

He drew a circle in the middle of the notebook.

“Oh! Soccer field!”

Even without drawing a line across the middle, the folded part became a line.

“And like this.”

He drew the soccer field scoreboard on the far left.

Exaggeratedly too. Very big.

“The scoreboard is huge!”

“Yeah.”

He wrote ‘Schedule’ on it.

“Ooh!”

He draws it much faster than expected.

Speed drawing.

For Seungjun, who was watching, it wasn’t boring, but rather more exciting.

The fact that it was drawn quickly made people more interested.

“Camera.”

He drew a camera above the scoreboard.

He takes a diagonal downward-looking composition.

The size wasn’t that big.

“What’s being captured is our memories.”

He drew squares where the photos would be placed on the drawn soccer field.

“Oh! 3-3-4 formation [a common soccer formation].”

The squares were drawn in the positions where the goalkeeper and players stand.

11 players.

11 players on the opposing team as well.

A total of 22 square spaces for photos to go in.

He adds one square space above and below that.

“Is that the coach?”

“Yeah. There have to be 24.”

“Why?”

“Because there are 24 people in our class.”

“Ooh!”

That was 24 photos that would be taken by the camera.

And he draws a speaker on the far right that is empty.

“Playlist recommended for spring.”

This way, he can include both idol songs and rap.

He draws people in the audience seats below that.

He writes this above the people’s heads.

“Fashion news to wear in spring.”

“Ooh! That’s awesome.”

“I put everything in.”

Siha really put in all the opinions.

Seungjun said with sparkling eyes.

“The bulletin board is already green, so we just need to draw white lines.”

“Yeah.”

From the scoreboard, camera, speaker, to the audience seats in the soccer field.

He used everything to combine the opinions and put them all in.

He didn’t throw away any single opinion, didn’t do anything carelessly, and embraced everyone to create it.

That was Siha’s warm wish.

In a real situation, there would be times when he would have to discard unnecessary opinions, but there was no need to do that even on the bulletin board.

“Siha.”

“Yeah?”

“That’s really awesome. You drew it really fast.”

“Yeah. Because I drew it roughly?”

“Still!”

The children were curious about what was going on and gathered around Siha.

“Wow. Siha is really good at drawing.”

“Wow. How did you draw this?”

The twins, who already knew about Siha’s drawing skills, said proudly.

“Siha is originally good at drawing. He’s also good at soccer.”

“We don’t show this to just anyone. It’s a mystery.”

Jongsu also rubbed his nose for no reason.

“Siha is better at drawing than studying.”

Jaehwi gets excited looking at the clothes drawing.

“Siha. That’s fleece! Where is it from? I like the design.”

Yeonju makes a correction request.

“Can you draw the camera a little bigger?”

Eunwoo just laughs out loud.

Yundong pats Siha’s shoulder as if he were a chairman, as if he did a good job.

Without saying anything.

“???”

Siha is just bewildered by the sudden hot reaction.

“Then I’ll go show this to the teacher.”

The children are clamoring for him to go quickly.

Eunwoo shouted from behind.

“Siha!”

“Yeah?”

“Get the necklace of passing! [a good luck charm]”

“Okay!”

The necklace of passing given to you.

Siha roughly understood what Eunwoo was saying and headed to the faculty room.

“Huh? Siha. Why again?”

“Teacher. This! I’m done!”

“Huh?”

“The sketch.”

“Ah! You did it all by yourself?”

“Yes!”

“That’s really amazing.”

The homeroom teacher received Siha’s notebook.

His eyes widened.

It was a different shock than when he heard the ideas.

He didn’t know Siha was such a good artist.

He didn’t know at all.

He saw Seungjun was good at soccer, and he saw Hana was good at singing.

Jongsu is good at studying.

Eunwoo is good at rap.

Yeonju worked as a child actor, so there’s no need to talk about acting, and Jaehwi usually dresses well, so he knew he was interested.

He only thought of Siha as a child who had various experiences through his brother and had a quirky charm.

But he had a brilliant talent that was no less than those children.

In some ways, he was versatile.

He’s good at English and can act a little.

And art was added to that.

Art seemed like a more overwhelming talent than English and acting, though.

“Teacher?”

“Huh? Ah! It’s really good! You did really well. The picture is really pretty too!”

“I drew it roughly. Because I drew it quickly.”

“When did you draw it?”

“During lunchtime. For a little bit?”

“Really?”

Can a first grader draw that quickly?

Even putting aside that question, there’s no doubt that it’s a well-drawn picture.

“The teacher will prepare the materials so you can decorate it.”

“I haven’t colored it yet.”

“It’s okay. I think I know roughly what colors will go in. And we don’t need green, right? Because the bulletin board is green.”

“Yes!”

***

Was it because everyone gave their opinions together?

The children started decorating the bulletin board actively.

Especially Seungjun was the most enthusiastic.

“Of course, there has to be a soccer field.”

He really liked that the entire bulletin board was becoming a soccer field.

“Siha is my best friend after all.”

He goes as far as best friend just because he drew a soccer field.

“Seungjun, you have to cut the lines well.”

“Don’t worry.”

The teacher printed out pictures of things like speakers and cameras.

All they had to do was cut them out and stick them on well.

“Teacher.”

“Yeah?”

“I’m done.”

“Really? Then shall we stick them on now?”

“Yes!”

They had done plenty of cutting, so there had to be someone to stick them on.

The after-school class was English time, but today it was replaced with decorating the bulletin board.

Of course, it wasn’t that they weren’t doing English.

“What is soccer in English?”

“Soccer!”

Seungjun says very confidently.

The other children will never forget the word soccer either.

It’s because Seungjun keeps saying soccer.

“What is time in the schedule in English?”

“Time!”

This is how everyday English begins.

There are endless English words to be used, such as soccer ball, player, spectator, person, speaker, camera, etc.

There are also materials. Paper, scissors, glue, etc.

“Hey. Eunwoo! Can you bring me some scissors?”

“Yes! Drop the beat!”

“???”

The teacher let out a hollow laugh.

Is it right to ask for scissors and get an answer asking for a beat?

“Here!”

“Thank you.”

Eunwoo brought the scissors, even though the answer was strange.

He seems to know a little bit of English.

It was being completed quickly because everyone was doing it together.

Siha was acting as the director watching the sticking.

“Hey! No~~~ little left. left. no. no. right. right. Orai [Okay]. Orai.”

Siha. Orai, Orai is not English.

“yes! There. There!”

Korean and English are mixed.

Anyway, it was stuck in the exact location.

There is always someone who thinks about the exact angle when decorating something like this.

“Jongsu. hurry up!”

“Hey. Why are you only making me stick things?”

Jongsu, who had been listening to Siha diligently, got angry.

It felt like he kept telling him to go to the left.

Then he told him to go to the right again.

“Jongsu is smart. So he has to do the sticking.”

“Then you come and stick it. You keep going back and forth.”

“Jongsu, you have to try putting it here and there. It’s important to choose a better place.”

“That’s true.”

Jongsu felt like he was being tricked.

But Siha’s words weren’t wrong.

“Okay. Then let’s stick this on.”

“This time you do it. You watch.”

“I don’t think Jongsu can see well.”

“I can see well too!”

This time, the two switched jobs.

Jongsu stood far away and looked at the bulletin board on the floor.

“Jongsu. Are you sticking it here?”

“No. Left!”

“Like this?”

Siha goes to the left in strides.

“No. You went too far. Right. Just a little.”

Siha moved to the right so little that he didn’t know if he was really moving.

“That’s too little!”

“Jongsu. You have to tell me exactly.”

“I told you exactly!”

“I think this is a good place.”

Siha moved to the right again and held it up.

“Then why am I looking here!”

“Is it weird here?”

“It’s not weird! Ah, it’s annoying! Why isn’t it weird! Why is he doing so well!”

The place where Siha was sticking it was so perfect that there was nothing more to move.

“This time, this one here.”

“Oh. That’s a good place.”

“I think it would be perfect to put it here, what do you think?”

“Oh. Yeah. There. Hey. If that’s the case, do I need to look?”

“Jongsu has to see if it fits or not.”

“…….”

“Why?”

“Shall we switch again?”

Jongsu felt like he wasn’t doing something, so he suggested switching.

“No. I’ll do it. I’m faster.”

“Hey!”

“Jongsu is the class president, so he has to look around everywhere.”

“Only now?!”

The bulletin board was completed in such a bustling way.

The squares to put the photos were empty.

The teacher said.

“Okay. Then shall we fill one with a memory photo?”

“Yes!”

The teacher took a picture of all the children together before cleaning up the materials.

One memory of making a bulletin board together.

He was thinking of printing it out today and filling one of the square spaces.
