Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 472

Extracurricular 47: Vacation (1)

I blinked and looked at my phone.

*How could this get so many comments?* And this fast?

Come to think of it, my Instagram followers had jumped quite a bit.

Thanks to Siha’s TV appearance, it had increased very quickly, but I hadn’t posted anything special since then.

It had been a while since I posted a video, but I didn’t expect comments to flood in so quickly.

-So cute ㅠㅠ

-I came to see Si-hyeok but I’m falling for Siha ㅠㅠ

-I want you to feed me chicken legs too….

-Haa… I need to diet… I ordered chicken because of Siha…

Most of the comments gushed about how cute Siha was.

-Please upload more ㅠㅠ

-How long has it been ㅠㅠㅠ

I wasn’t a celebrity, but I felt a strange pressure to post more.

No. This is just my personal Instagram.

That’s right, I haven’t uploaded anything for a long time. Was I being too neglectful of my personal Instagram?

Should I upload something occasionally?

I couldn’t help but feel that way.

“Hyung, they’re saying to upload more.”

Siha stuck close to my side and peered at the phone with me.

“Yeah. People must want to see more of Siha because he’s so cute. They’re curious about how he’s doing.”

“Why?”

“Because Siha is cute.”

“That’s not true. I’m cool because I look like Hyung. I’m not cute.”

“Then it’s because Siha is cool.”

“Hyung, reply here. Tell them I’m not cute. Tell them I’m cool.”

“Okay. Okay.”

Should I reply to this?

I scratched my cheek for no real reason.

-Siha is saying next to me that he’s not cute and that he’s cool.

-Yeah! You’re so cool!!

What’s with the immediate replies?

It felt like they were babying him.

As I was looking at Instagram, Bae Sang-hyun, who was in front of me, asked.

“Is Siha that popular?”

“Ah…. Yes. Siha was in a movie before, and he’s been on a YouTube show and a talk show once…. I guess he’s popular?”

“I see. I knew he was on those shows, but I didn’t know he was *this* popular.”

“It’s just that only people who know him, know him.”

Compared to real celebrities, it’s a drop in the bucket.

He’s popular among ordinary people, but he can’t compare to influencers.

“Eat chicken. Chicken.”

“Yes. Okay.”

I was surprised by Instagram, but that’s it.

Now is the time to enjoy family time.

Siha held up a piece of chicken and said with his shiny mouth.

“Hyung, it’s delicious.”

“Yeah. It’s delicious.”

***

Gangin Elementary School.

The homeroom teacher looked at the noisy children.

They didn’t even notice the teacher had arrived.

But some of them noticed and sat quietly.

“Okay. Okay. Everyone. Look here.”

Only then did the children stop talking.

Of course, there were some who didn’t.

A child who was lost in his own story and closed his ears.

It was Seung-joon.

“Ah. So, you know, I kicked the ball and it hit the goalpost. Hahaha.”

“Seung-joon, look here~”

“Ah!”

Seung-joon came to his senses and sat down.

Siha had been listening to Seung-joon intently, but he now noticed that the teacher had arrived.

The teacher doesn’t tell the children to be quiet. She just asks them to look here.

“There’s not much time left until the vacation, right?”

“Yes!”

Jong-soo said confidently.

“One week left!”

There are also children who answer the date so accurately.

The homeroom teacher looked at Jong-soo and nodded.

“That’s right. One week left. You’re all excited to play during the vacation, right?”

“Yes!”

“But if you only play during the vacation, it’s not good for your body. So, the teacher has prepared homework.”

“No~~”

The children covered their heads and groaned.

Homework! It’s good to come to school and play and study with friends, but the thing they hate the most is homework.

“There’s vacation homework *during* the vacation. If you do your homework diligently instead of just playing, it becomes more fun.”

“No, it doesn’t!”

“Yes, it does. Look, everyone. It’s more fun to play *after* you finish your homework!”

Originally, fun is relative.

It’s more fun to play after working really hard.

Then Seung-joon said.

“Soccer is the most fun whether you do homework or not! So, we don’t have to do homework.”

“No. You can shoot better if you do your homework.”

“That’s a lie!”

“Yes, it is. If you study math, it goes into the goal exactly as calculated.”

“Hey! What about Korean?”

“If you’re good at Korean, it will help you learn other languages later. You have to talk to your teammates when you go to a foreign league.”

“!!!”

Seung-joon was completely defeated.

The homeroom teacher was now used to Seung-joon.

She could convince him enough by doing this.

Siha, who was next to him, said.

“If there’s homework, Hyung will stay by my side longer.”

Yeah. Your goal isn’t the homework, it’s Hyung, right? Because Hyung watches you do your homework next to you.

Siha suddenly made a troubled expression.

“But it’s hard when Uncle interferes and makes fun of me for being wrong.”

Excuse me? Mr. Siha’s uncle? What are you doing to the kid!

Looking at it, I think that uncle lives to tease Siha.

The homeroom teacher cleared her throat.

“Ahem. Anyway, I’ll show you the vacation homework printout. Show it to your mom and dad and Hyung.”

“Yes!”

The children received the vacation homework printout.

[Common Tasks]

-Write a picture diary: Once a week (of course, you can write it every day)

-Reading: Color in the reading sticker (20 stickers)

-2 elective tasks (of course, you can do more than 2)

[Elective Tasks]

-Watch an educational broadcast and take a certification photo

-Travel with your family and take a certification photo

-Memorize and sing 2 or more pop songs

-Solve 20 math problems of addition and subtraction

-Draw a picture with the theme of ‘Summer Vacation’

-Make something out of waste [recyclables]

-Draw a reading impression

-Whatever I want ( )

The homeroom teacher said.

“If you read 20 books and fill them in, I’ll give you a star when you come back after the vacation.”

“Yes!”

“And choose 2 elective tasks and try them.”

It was surprisingly easy homework.

First of all, mothers often give their children workbooks during the vacation, so math problems were included as vacation homework.

If you do what you usually do, one vacation homework will be cleared quickly.

The teacher’s consideration to make it easier for the children to do their vacation homework!

The children may not know that she has made such considerations.

There was nothing difficult.

Except for memorizing 2 pop songs.

Sometimes you have to put in something difficult so that you can choose something relatively easy.

It was homework that allowed the children to enjoy their vacation well.

The teachers were racking their brains even for these things.

“Okay. Okay. Then let’s choose one.”

Choosing elective tasks could also be a topic of conversation for the children.

Jong-soo confidently checked the math problems in the elective tasks.

“I solve problems every day, so this is easy. Vacation homework is already cleared.”

Jong-soo looked at Jae-hwi.

Jae-hwi, who was next to him, checked the drawing a reading impression.

“Are you going to draw a reading impression?”

“Yeah. I thought it would be easier to do it together because there’s reading.”

“Then it’s too easy.”

“Huh? Yeah. That’s right.”

“You have to do something difficult. I’m going to memorize 2 pop songs.”

“Wow. Jong-soo is amazing.”

“Right?”

Jong-soo wanted to show off his greatness.

He could memorize 2 pop songs easily enough.

“Jae-hwi, you do 2 pop songs too.”

“Huh? No. I want to do something else besides 2 pop songs.”

“No. Do the same thing as me. It’ll help.”

Jae-hwi nodded helplessly.

He checked 2 pop songs.

Then Yeon-joo said.

“Jae-hwi, I’ll do the same thing too.”

“Huh? Yeah. Are you going to do the same thing as me, Yeon-joo?”

“Yeah. I’m going to memorize 2 pop songs too, so you have to let me hear them? I’ll let you hear them too.”

“Huh? Yeah. Okay. I’ll try to memorize them hard.”

Jae-hwi nodded with a flushed face.

It was the moment when he had a motivation to do his homework.

Jong-soo was a little sad that Yeon-joo’s reaction was different from his recommendation, even though it was the same task.

Jae-hwi seems to be experiencing a lot of things that make him sad these days.

“Why is the reaction different?”

Eun-woo, who was listening from behind, joined in.

“I’m going to do 2 pop songs too.”

Jong-soo had a slightly touched look.

“2 pop songs are the best, right?”

“Puhaha [sound of laughter]. Yeah. I’m going to memorize 2 pop song raps. Keu [another sound of laughter]. I’m going to sing something really cool.”

“Uh…. Uh?”

Eun-woo just wanted to memorize his favorite rap.

It wasn’t about the homework itself.

“Puhaha. Yoon-dong, you memorize it too.”

“No.”

“Puhaha. He said no.”

“……?”

Yoon-dong didn’t know why Eun-woo was laughing, but he decided to move on because he didn’t know anyway.

And he chose 2 options.

-Whatever I want (Master one dance during vacation)

-Watch an educational broadcast and certify it.

Eun-woo sent a smile.

“Puhaha. Educational broadcast. Puhaha. But why are you watching this?”

“It’s fun sometimes.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. It helps me sleep.”

“Puhahaha.”

Eun-woo grabbed his stomach and laughed.

No matter how you look at it, his threshold for laughter seemed low.

Seung-joon looked at Siha.

“Siha, I think whatever I want here is good. I’m going to write down soccer and take a picture and certify it. Isn’t it amazing?”

“Wow! That’ll work.”

Seung-joon usually plays soccer, so it was easy to choose.

The last one was a bit of a concern.

“Ah! I should ask my mom to go on a trip. And I can certify that.”

“Yeah. I’m going on a trip with Hyung too.”

“Oh. Where are you going?”

“We decided to go to the water park.”

“Really?! Let’s go together.”

“Okay! It’ll be fun to play with Seung-joon and Hyung.”

Then Hana patted Seung-joon’s back from behind and said.

“Me too. Me too.”

“Ah. Okay. Don’t pat my back. If I go to play, you have to go too, of course. We’re twins, so.”

The twins were a set.

Hana liked it and checked the elective homework.

But she stopped writing with a pencil because she was curious and asked.

“Siha, what did you choose for the other one?”

“What did you choose for one?”

“I’m thinking about what to do.”

Siha showed his choices.

Surprisingly, everything was checked.

Hana looked at Siha with surprised eyes.

“Are you going to do all of this?”

“Yeah. If I do everything, Hyung will watch me do it a lot.”

It was a Siha-like choice.

Hana shook her head.

No matter what, she didn’t think she could do all that homework.

Hana glared at the printout.

“Should I draw a picture?”

Then Seung-joon said.

“What are you talking about? You have to do 2 pop songs.”

“Why?”

“You’re going to be an idol, so you have to practice about 2 pop songs.”

“Oh! Oppa [term for older brother used by females]. What’s wrong? You said it really well.”

“Hey! I always say it well.”

Then Siha raised his hand and interrupted.

“Hyung is the one who speaks well!”

Neither of the twins could refute that.

What if the interpreter can’t speak?

And because they had actually seen Si-hyeok’s wonderful performance, the two children liked Si-hyeok, though not as much as Siha.

Siha asked.

“But if everyone is going to the water park, we have to decide when to go. Hyung is okay with anything. Just tell me in advance. I don’t seem to be very busy, so I think it’s okay.”

It was Siha who had a tight grip on everything from Hyung to Siha’s schedule.

Seung-joon thought for a moment.

“My mom has to go to work, so I don’t know when her day off is. She’s deciding on her day off.”

“Day off?”

“Yeah. Her day off. I’ll find out later and let Siha know.”

“Okay. I understand.”

Hana said next to him.

“Oppa will forget anyway, so Hana will call.”

“Hey! I don’t forget.”

“Oppa forgot even when I asked you to bring me a tissue. Because you were watching soccer.”

“No, that’s not true. That was only once.”

The three of them were plotting to go to the water park.

And that too, without their parents’ permission.
