Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 485

Hey, hyung [older brother/male friend], aren’t I cute? Hey, hyung, aren’t I cute? Extra-60 (485/500)

Extra 60: First Day of School

The first day of school has finally arrived.

During vacation, I could sleep in, but now I have to wake up early to make it to school on time.

I feel tired, but I have to prepare breakfast, so I move busily.

I guess the good thing is that I’m not a company worker.

I felt less rushed.

For some reason, when I got up, Siha quietly got up too and was busy packing the homework he had diligently done during the vacation from his room.

“This and this too.”

“Siha, don’t you have much to pack?”

I thought I could just show the photos since I had taken most of them as pictures.

I organized them well so that the teacher could easily see them and put them all in one file.

I was going to print the picture Siha drew, but Siha strongly opposed it.

He said that the colors wouldn’t look as good if they were printed.

So, I put the tablet in my bag too.

It’s definitely a light tablet, but it feels quite heavy.

Siha said as he put the workbook in.

“No, I have a lot to pack.”

“There’s not much in your bag?”

“I have to fill it now.”

“Really?”

“I’m thinking about it.”

“It seems like enough for now?”

It seemed more than enough.

Isn’t it normal to go to school lightly on the first day?

I’ll get new books for the second semester anyway, and I’ll probably put them in my desk or locker.

“Is that so?”

“Yeah. Totally.”

“Then I should pack up to here as you say, hyung.”

Is what I say the truth?

Siha closed his schoolbag zipper.

I looked at Siha and went back to the kitchen.

I saw the bubbling soybean paste stew [doenjang-jjigae, a common Korean stew].

I stirred it once with a ladle and closed the lid.

Siha ran and clung to my leg.

“Hyung. What’s for dinner today?”

“Today is soybean paste stew and rolled omelet.”

“Yay. Soybean paste stew. I like the soybean paste stew that hyung makes. Did you put a lot of tofu in it?”

“I put a lot in.”

“Is the rolled omelet thick?”

“It’s very thick.”

“As big as Baek Donghwan’s forearm?”

“…No.”

How many eggs would have to be sacrificed to make it as thick as Baek Donghwan’s forearm?

I don’t think it would be an amount that could be eaten in one meal.

Siha stretched out his arms and drew a big circle.

“Make a really big one for me next time.”

“I’ll think about it and make it for you.”

It seemed to be the aftermath of my uncle constantly showing Siha strange videos.

The biggest kimbap [Korean seaweed rice roll] in the world, the biggest pizza in the world.

Showing him videos like that makes Siha want to eat them too.

Not only can I not make it in this small kitchen, but if it’s that big, I have to share it with the surrounding neighbors to eat it all.

“How long will you think about it?”

“I wonder?”

I’ll probably have to think about it for a very, very long time.

Until Siha forgets this request.

I quickly changed the subject.

“Now that the food is ready, let’s wake up uncle.”

“Okay!”

Siha was so excited that he stormed into the room where his uncle was sleeping.

Bang.

The door opened, and the bed was visible.

I could see my uncle inside the blanket, making an arch shape.

I don’t know why he covered his face.

The curtains were drawn, so not much light would come in.

“Uncle!! Wake up!”

Siha climbed onto the bed and fell on top of his uncle’s body.

“Just a little more.”

“If you want to sleep, eat first and then sleep. Get up now!”

Siha patted his uncle’s butt.

That’s the line I used to say.

Who did he learn to pat butts from?

Uncle tossed and turned in the blanket.

“Ah. I want to sleep a little more.”

“You have to eat before you sleep~ Hyung made something delicious. It tastes better when it’s hot.”

Uncle showed interest from inside the blanket.

“What is it?”

“Soybean paste stew and rolled omelet.”

“That’s what we usually eat.”

“Uncle. You should be grateful that I cook for you like this usually! And soybean paste stew and rolled omelet are always delicious, no matter when you eat them?”

Sniff. Our Siha has grown up so much.

But why is uncle in the blanket like a teenage son?

Why can’t you get up quickly?!

I also slapped his butt with Siha.

“Ah! My butt is on fire! Stop hitting me, you guys!”

Uncle reluctantly got out of bed.

I laughed when I saw my uncle with his bird’s nest hair.

I feel like this is what happens on the first day of school.

Siha came down from the bed and said.

“Uncle. Did you sleep well?”

“Yeah. Thaa~anks!”

Our Siha. He’s polite in the morning too.

Well learned.

***

Gangin Elementary School, 1st grade, 1st class.

The class where the children gathered after a long time was noisy.

When Siha opened the door and entered, Seungjun waved his hand.

“Siha! Hello! Sit next to me!”

“Hello, Seungjun. Okay!”

Siha put his schoolbag down and sat next to Seungjun.

During the vacation, they always met at the Taekwondo gym, but it was a long time since they met at school.

“Seungjun. Did you finish your vacation homework?”

“I finished it all! No problem at all. Hahaha.”

Then Hana, who was talking to Yeonju, suddenly intervened.

She sat behind Seungjun and shook her head.

“Oppa [older brother/male friend] did it in a hurry when the vacation was almost over. I finished it all and played.”

“Anything is fine as long as you finish it. It’s not good to do it early like you.”

“No, it’s not. It’s good to finish early and play?”

“If Hana does her homework hard, I can copy it. Hahaha.”

“I’m not going to show you.”

“You’re going to show me! Hahaha.”

“I’m really not going to show you anymore! I won’t show you even if you give me something delicious.”

Siha asked.

“Seungjun. Did you copy Hana’s homework?”

“I only copied a little. I did the rest myself.”

“I see.”

“Siha, did you finish your homework?”

“Yeah! I finished it all. Hyung and uncle did homework with me. It was so much fun.”

“Oh! We decided to do all the vacation homework. Did you really do it all?”

“No. I couldn’t do it all. I skipped a few because I was playing.”

“It can’t be helped if you skip because you’re playing. Still, that’s great. If you skipped a few, you did a lot, right?”

“Yeah. Do you want to see?”

Siha proudly took out his tablet.

He showed Seungjun the pictures he had drawn.

Hana and Yeonju also poked their heads out and watched what he drew.

“Wow. You drew really well.”

“Siha. This is what happened when we went to the water park.”

“Hana. Did you guys go to the water park?”

Hana nodded at Yeonju’s question.

Yeonju made a humming sound and pouted her lips slightly.

Hana gently hugged Yeonju’s neck at the sight of Yeonju.

“Yeonju, let’s go together next time.”

“Okay. You have to call me next time.”

“Yeah! Let’s swim together and eat cup noodles.”

“Okay.”

While they were talking so loudly, the Jongsu family approached.

“Hey. Lee Siha. Did you study a lot during the vacation?”

Jongsu shook the workbook in his hand and put it down on Siha’s seat.

“I solved a lot of workbooks during the vacation. You can’t beat me with studying anymore.”

“Wow. Jongsu is great.”

“Hahaha. I’ve already finished studying for the second semester. Isn’t my progress very fast?”

“You’ve already finished studying for the second semester? Then are you going to be a second grader now?”

“Huh? No. That’s not it?”

“If you’ve finished everything, you don’t have to come to school, right?”

“No. I have to come to school.”

“Then what’s good about finishing quickly?”

“Huh?”

Jongsu’s brain stopped at Siha’s words.

What’s good about finishing quickly? What was it? What did I say earlier? Ah!

“I’ll be very good at studying.”

“Wow. That’s really great. You’re good at studying.”

Jongsu was furious at Siha’s soulless answer.

“Hey! I can see that you’re not envious at all!”

“I have a hyung. Aren’t you jealous of this!”

“I’m not jealous!”

“I can see that you’re pretending not to be jealous.”

“Really not!”

“Okay. I’ll say you’re not.”

“You’re not saying it, it’s really not!”

Jongsu was a little upset.

Of course, he had been a little envious of Siha having Sihyuk.

But it wasn’t so envious that he would declare it so good.

Siha nodded.

“I know everything. I know everything.”

“No. You don’t know! You don’t know!”

While they were bickering, the teacher came in.

“Okay. Everyone. Hello!”

“Hello!”

“Everyone, take your seats.”

The teacher came in, and Jongsu had no choice but to sit down without resolving the misunderstanding.

Everyone sat down and looked at the teacher with sparkling eyes.

“Did everyone have a good vacation?”

“Yes!”

“Did you have fun?”

“Yes!”

“Did you all do your vacation homework?”

“Yeeees!”

“Let’s check how well you did.”

“Yeeees!”

“Shall we all take it out?”

The children began to take out their vacation homework.

There were many things that could be done even if they just played normally, so there was not much burden.

Surprisingly, mothers were enthusiastic about studying, so there were quite a few workbooks on the children’s desks.

Taking certification photos was also included in the vacation homework, so many children took out photos.

One thing that was a little unique was that Siha took out his tablet.

The teacher could clearly see that there were drawings on it.

“Then shall we talk about what you did during the vacation?”

“Yes!”

“Then let’s start with the first group.”

The children got up and started talking about what homework they did and what they remembered.

The teacher sometimes asked questions and spent time laughing when the children had interesting stories.

And it was Seungjun’s turn.

“I came to school during the vacation.”

The school was also operating during the vacation.

There were many dual-income couples in this day and age, so it couldn’t be helped.

Of course, Seungjun didn’t go to school every day.

Sometimes he rested according to his mother’s vacation.

“I made new friends in other classes, and I promised to play soccer together later, so I played soccer too.”

Usually, they did various activities rather than studying.

Seungjun looked at Siha.

“But still, my best friend is Siha. Hahaha!”

The teacher couldn’t understand why he was saying his best friend.

Siha raised his thumb.

Seungjun also raised his thumb together.

They were sharing friendship in the middle of the presentation.

“Hana helped me with my vacation homework! Hahaha.”

With those words, Seungjun sat down.

Next is Siha’s turn.

“I played a lot. I played in the water with hyung, drew pictures, solved workbooks, drew pictures, ate tteokbokki [spicy rice cakes], drew pictures there. And…….”

The teacher smiled wryly.

Why are there so many drawing pictures? By the way, did you do everything with hyung?

Siha’s fingers folded one by one.

“I monitored uncle every day so that he wouldn’t be lazy, so I think he became a little more diligent during the vacation. Now watch a little less reruns. I watch the original broadcasts, though.”

Is watching a little less reruns less lazy?

How much have you watched so far?!

Then a friend raised his hand and asked.

“Siha. What does Siha’s uncle do?”

“He’s unemployed!”

“Huh? Then he doesn’t go to work?”

“Yeah. So I have to feed him.”

“Huh!”

The teacher laughed at Siha’s words.

No. Who are you feeding?

Siha pretended to wipe away his cold sweat.

“That’s why I have a lot of worries these days.”

No. What kind of worries are those?

“If hyung quits his job later, I have to feed him. I’ll have uncle work part-time.”

No. Why is uncle working?!?

A friend asked again with the same mind as the teacher.

“Why does uncle work part-time?”

“If he’s been playing until now, he has to work that much.”

“Who?”

“I don’t know.”

The teacher was very curious.

Where did you hear those stories?

Jongsu nodded diligently at Siha’s words.

“If you’ve been playing until now, you should work hard that much. Yeah. Yeah.”

Was the culprit you, Jongsu?

I thought he was a sincere child, but I didn’t know he would be this sincere.

“Anyway, I had a hard time waking up uncle today. Really.”

“When does Siha wake up?”

“Me? I wake up at 6 a.m.!”

You wake up very early…….

The teacher was immersed in those words for uncle.

It’s hard to wake up at 6 a.m…….

Other friends were surprised and said this.

“Wow. You wake up really early.”

“Instead, I go to bed early.”

Is going to bed early a losing game?

Being able to be free at night was a great merit.

Morning is the problem, though.

“Then when does Siha’s hyung sleep and wake up?”

“I don’t know. Hyung goes to bed later than me and wakes up with me?”

“Wow. That’s great.”

“My hyung is originally great!”

Siha had a proud expression.

Meanwhile, that proud hyung Lee Sihyuk was passed out on the bed taking a nap.

Lee Sihyuk. Recharging his stamina.

Of course, Siha didn’t know at all.
