Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 460

Talk On Quiz (4)

Hey, hyung, aren’t I cute? Hey, hyung, aren’t I cute? Extra-35 (4/4)

Extra 35: Talk On Quiz (4)

Gangin Elementary School.

From morning, the children are chattering busily.

In the midst of it, Siha was singing diligently.

“There’s no end to the fun~ Teen Teen Teen! Tonight at 8:40 PM~ Tokon Quiz~ Please look forward to it a lot~”

He hums the broadcast program advertisement.

Jongsu blocked his ears as if he didn’t want to hear it.

“Hey. Lee Siha! Stop it already.”

“Why? Jongsu. It’s on today.”

“I’ve heard it every day!”

“You might have forgotten.”

“I can’t forget because of you!”

He’s been singing it since the day they filmed the broadcast, so it’s impossible to forget even if he wanted to.

Siha patted Jongsu’s shoulder.

“As expected, you remembered. Jongsu is smart.”

“What is it? Is it a compliment?”

“It’s a compliment.”

Jongsu felt strange, somehow it didn’t sound like a compliment.

“Jongsu. You’re definitely going to watch, right?”

“Ah, I’ll watch! So please stop singing that song. I’m going to get calluses on my ears!”

“As expected, Jongsu. Oh, right. I mentioned Jongsu on the broadcast.”

“Oh? Really?”

Jongsu widened his eyes as if he was hearing it for the first time.

Clearly, the kids asked Siha to mention them, but he didn’t know he would actually mention them.

“Yeah. I said Jongsu is the class president.”

“Ooh! Awesome!”

Expectation shone in Jongsu’s eyes.

It was exciting just to be mentioned on the broadcast.

Lee Siha must have said 멋지게 [meotjige – coolly/impressively] that the 1st grade 1st class president is cool.

Jongsu became grateful that Siha was taking care of him.

“You said it 멋있게, right?”

“Yeah! I said you’re smart and good at studying.”

“Keu.”

In reality, it was a very subtle scene, but Siha didn’t lie. He didn’t lie.

“Wow. I wasn’t going to watch it, but I have to watch it now.”

“What? You weren’t going to watch it? I didn’t think that of you, Jongsu. I’m disappointed.”

“Hey! I was originally going to watch it, but I don’t want to watch it because you advertised it so much.”

“No. I didn’t do it that much.”

“You hum that song every day, how can you say you didn’t do it much.”

“I really didn’t do it much? 1st period, 2nd period, 3rd period. You have to do it every period to do it a lot.”

“That’s what you call a lot?!”

Siha nodded as if it was obvious.

The standard of ‘a lot’ was unusual.

That standard might be right for Siha, who thinks playing with hyung [older brother or male friend] all day is playing a lot.

Jongsu looked at Siha as if he was dumbfounded.

“Siha! What about me? Did you mention me?”

Seungjun, who was listening to the story, pointed at himself.

“Yeah! Of course, I mentioned Seungjun first.”

“As expected, we’re best friends.”

It was so easy to become best friends.

Other friends also asked Siha.

Siha answered that he mentioned all the kindergarten family, of course.

They were his closest friends, so he had to mention them.

“Wow. I’m really looking forward to it. But Siha. Did you get the quiz right?”

Jongsu’s ears perked up at Seungjun’s question.

Siha’s quiz.

That important quiz that he practiced in advance.

Siha hmm~ and then 고민을 [gomin-eul – contemplates/ponders].

“If you’re curious, watch the live broadcast!”

“Ah~! What. Tell me!”

“I’ll give you a hint. A proverb came out!”

“!!!”

“I felt really good.”

“!!!”

In fact, if you heard those words, everyone couldn’t help but think that Siha got it right.

In reality, he won a laptop.

It was better than 1 million won.

“Alright, alright. Everyone, take your seats.”

The homeroom teacher came in.

The children sat down in an orderly manner as if it was a familiar time.

But he had something to say.

“Teacher. Siha is on Talk On Quiz today!”

“Really? Siha. Teacher will definitely watch.”

Siha suddenly got up from his chair.

The homeroom teacher had a bewildered expression.

“There’s no end to the fun~ Teen Teen Teen! Tonight at 8:40 PM~ Tokon Quiz~ Watch the live broadcast!”

Jongsu had an expression that said, ‘Is he doing that again?’

The homeroom teacher smiled and thought.

Did you have to get up to say that?

Siha sat down as if he had done everything he needed to do.

***

Chop green onions 송송 [songsong – finely] in the kitchen.

Make green onion oil in a frying pan and then make egg fried rice.

I was thinking of having a simple dinner.

Of course, if there’s only egg fried rice, uncle will be bored, so I’m grilling bulgogi [Korean marinated beef] next to it.

Put green onions and garlic.

When it’s all grilled, I was thinking of putting it on top of the fried rice like a 덮밥 [deopbap – rice bowl dish].

Of course, not covering the whole thing.

“Oppa [term used by females to address older brothers or male friends]. Can I help you with anything?”

Seo Suhyun appears from behind and asks.

I invited Seo Suhyun because Siha is on TV today.

He insisted that we all watch it together, but I wondered if we really had to watch it all together.

“No. Just sit down. You can play with Siha.”

“Siha has been waiting for his broadcast since earlier.”

“I know. There’s still a lot of time left.”

Even if we finish eating, we have to wait.

It starts at a somewhat ambiguous time.

Well, most people watch dramas in the evening, so it might be difficult to 편성 [pyeonseong – schedule] entertainment shows.

In a way, it’s a talk show, so that might be the case.

If it’s a real variety show, there’s physical comedy, teasing, and games, so it would be good to watch in the evening.

But Talk On Quiz is about talking and solving quizzes.

There are many cases where they ask serious questions, so it might be difficult to watch if you’re not interested.

It was an inevitable part because the direction of the needs it provides is different.

Still, the viewership ratings are quite good.

It’s good in that there is demand.

“Wow. It smells delicious.”

Seo Suhyun sniffs and smells the scent.

I 피식 [pisik – chuckled] laughed at the sight.

“Why are you laughing?”

“Just. Because you’re cute.”

“Ah, what is it~”

Seo Suhyun turns her head away as if she’s embarrassed.

She disappears with the words that she’s going to set the table while peeking into the 수저통 [sujeot-tong – utensil drawer].

After I said it, I felt embarrassed to look at her.

Saying ‘cute’ to Siha and saying ‘cute’ to Seo Suhyun are really different.

“Hyung. Come quickly. It’s starting now.”

Siha’s words make me 정신이 번쩍 [jeongsin-i beonjjeok – snap to attention].

“It’s still far away.”

“No. It’s soon.”

My sense of time and Siha’s are different.

How is that soon?

It feels like I could watch a drama.

“Ah. Lee Siha~ Let’s change the channel. We don’t have to watch the Teen Teen Teen channel now.”

I hear uncle’s desperate voice.

It seems like he wants to watch the drama that’s on the public channel, but today he can’t turn away from the Teen Teen Teen channel.

Because Siha is holding the remote control.

They say the person with the remote control at home is the number one power, but it seems like Siha was the number one power.

To have the remote control taken away so easily.

“No! It’s starting now.”

“It’s not on yet.”

“Uncle. You have to 미리미리 [mirimiri – in advance] wait.”

“I don’t even wait this long for rides!”

It’s a bit much, but it can’t be helped.

Siha didn’t see himself on camera.

He must be curious about how it was filmed and edited.

“Okay. Okay. The drama is already missed, so let’s eat.”

“It’s not missed yet! I can turn it on now.”

“Watch the rerun.”

“The rerun is something that cuts out scenes.”

“They cut it out because it wasn’t an important scene.”

“Everything is important to me.”

“Then you can buy it and watch it.”

“It’s different from that. I have to watch the live broadcast.”

How did this 아저씨 [ajeossi – middle-aged man] get so into Korean dramas?

A foreigner 빠진 [ppajin – obsessed with] K-drama! I could film a video and upload it.

Um. That’s good? Instead of just watching TV at home, I should tell him to film that and upload the video to make money.

Of course, uncle has a lot of money, so he doesn’t have to do this.

“Okay. Let’s eat. Uncle. Suhyun set the table, what are you doing when there’s a guest.”

“It’s okay. Suhyun is our family now. We’re 남이가 [nam-iga – strangers]!”

“We’re 남이죠 [nam-ijyo – strangers, right?]. Go get some water.”

“I can’t live in this house because I’m 서러워서 [seorowoseo – feeling mistreated/sad]. Really.”

Where did you learn that saying again?

He says that, but uncle really went to get water.

If he was watching the drama, he would have said he couldn’t miss a single scene and would never go.

“Suhyun. Thank you for setting the table.”

“Family…. Huh?! Ah, yes! It’s nothing!”

I think she’s 꽂힌 [kkochin – fixated] on the word ‘family’ that uncle just said? Let’s not ask how far her imagination has spread.

I’m sure she’s 난리 [nalli – going wild] with sons and daughters again.

“Then I’ll eat well.”

“I’ll eat well.”

Even after eating hard and finishing the dishes, there was still a little time left.

I should make an ade [Korean fruit syrup drink] and wait in my spare time.

Finally, it’s 8:40 PM.

Talk On Quiz has started. The people who are coming out today pass by quickly. If it’s in that order, I think I’ll be the third one to come out?

“No. I waited so long, but I have to wait again?! It’s the third one!”

“Uncle. The third one is good.”

“Who says?”

“I say? It’s good because it’s 3.”

As expected, Siha’s love for 3 is still continuing.

Uncle has a 질색 [jilssaek – disgusted] face.

Still, he likes this program, so he watches quietly.

“Ah. Another advertisement! Why are there so many advertisements.”

That can’t be helped. The broadcasting station has to make a living too.

I usually just pass by these parts, but I don’t know why today.

Ah. Maybe uncle is 은근 [eungeun – secretly] looking forward to us coming out?

Maybe he wants to see it quickly.

If there’s someone you’re looking forward to seeing, you want it to be done quickly. The advertisements that come out at that time are annoying.

There have been cases where fans bought advertisements when a certain celebrity came out.

To watch without interruption.

“Uncle. If you wait quietly, everything will come out.”

Siha, who has been waiting hard since earlier, seems to have reached the state of 득도 [deukdo – enlightenment].

Looking at him waiting so calmly.

“Oh?! It’s coming out!”

Uncle finally came to the order he had been waiting for.

Our 모습이 [moseub-i – appearance] came out.

The scene of greeting and introducing passes by.

I laugh at the scene where Siha says he doesn’t know the assistant MC.

Everyone said they didn’t know, so he answered that he had tried it too.

Uncle also 터졌다 [teojyeotda – burst out laughing] there.

“Oh. Lee Siha. You have some 입담 [ipdam – eloquence/wit]?”

“It’s because I 닮아서 [dalmaseo – resemble] hyung.”

“He always says he 닮았 [dalmat – resembles] hyung. Didn’t you learn it from uncle? That mischief.”

“No. Uncle, be quiet. Hyung is answering now.”

“Geez. Too much.”

Siha is concentrating very hard on my answer.

You heard it there, do you want to hear it again?

Well, Siha likes me so much.

It won’t be as fun as Siha’s scene.

I glanced at Seo Suhyun.

She wasn’t watching TV, she was looking at her phone, and when I looked at the screen, the Talk On Quiz real-time chat was on.

Maybe Seo Suhyun is the most 진심 [jinsim – sincere] person in this broadcast among the people here?

I never thought she would turn on the comment window.

As expected of someone who does 너튜브 [neo tube – YouTube].

-Wow, he’s really handsome.

-The translator who 난리난 [nallinan – caused a stir] during the 일개미 [ilgaemi – worker ant] days. It’s been a long time.

-rㅐ굴: Oppa, you’re so 멋져요 [meotjyeoyo – cool/awesome]! Oppa, you’re so 멋져요! Oppa, you’re so 멋져요! Oppa, you’re so 멋져요! Oppa, you’re so 멋져요! Oppa, you’re so 멋져요!

-Hey. Please don’t 도배 [dobae – spam]!

-Wow, but he’s 멋지긴 [meotjigin – indeed cool].

-My boyfriend is there?

-rㅐ굴: ??? He’s my boyfriend?!

-Ugh. It starts again when a handsome person comes out.

-Siha has grown up so much. So cute.

The letters are small, so I can’t see what they’re writing? Should I look closer?

When I approached slightly, Seo Suhyun 깜짝 놀라며 [kkamjjak nollamyeo – startled] hid her phone.

“What is it. Don’t look at my phone 함부로 [hamburo – carelessly/recklessly]. You have to protect 프라이버시 [peuraibeosi – privacy].”

“It was a real-time chat.”

“Anyway. Don’t look.”

“Okay. But what did you write?”

“I wrote that oppa is 멋있다고 [meosittago – handsome/cool].”

“Why do you write things like that again.”

“You have to do this kind of 바람잡이 [baramjabi – hype man/cheerleader].”

“Well, thank you.”

“Hehehe.”

Is that really what she wrote?

I think she wrote something else really hard.

I’m curious.

But Seo Suhyun’s guard was 뛰어났다 [ttwieonatda – outstanding].

I was curious how she reached that level of writing comments without even looking.

At that time, Siha said something to uncle on TV.

[Uncle. I’m on TV. Now I’m glad you can see me even on TV.]

Uncle’s face becomes 떨떠름 [tteoltteoreum – awkward/uncomfortable].

“I’m tired of seeing you every day!”

“Uncle is 좋으면서 부끄러워하네 [joeumyeonseo bukkeureowohane – happy but embarrassed].”

“???”

Siha 먹였다 [meogyeotda – fed] one 방 [bang – hit/attack].
