Hyung, aren’t I cute? Hyung, aren’t I cute? Extra Story – Chapter 64

Extra Story 64: Job Interview (1)

Kang In-cho, 1st Grade, Class 1.

The teacher looked around at the children.

Even though they were chattering excitedly, they quickly quieted down when she said, “Shh.”

While the first semester focused on helping the children adjust and study diligently, the second semester was centered around various activities.

School competitions were one of them.

“Everyone, I’m going to give you a good assignment this time.”

“Aww…”

The children made sounds of dislike.

But the teacher didn’t give in.

She knew that education wasn’t such an easy task.

“Ahem. Everyone, do you know what an interview is?”

“No!”

“Yes!”

Some children knew, and some didn’t.

Among them, Siha had a very confident look on his face.

“Then, among those who know, is there anyone who can explain it to their friends?”

The children who raised their hands were all from Kang In Children’s Center.

Seungjun, who dreams of being a soccer player.

Hana, who dreams of being an idol.

Yeonju, who used to be a child actor.

Jongsu, who is knowledgeable about everything.

And finally, Siharazzi, Siha.

A total of 5 people were raising their hands.

The homeroom teacher glanced at the five of them and momentarily pondered who to choose.

They were all full of personality.

“Then, Yeonju, would you like to try?”

“Yes!”

Yeonju stood up from her seat.

Jaehui sent her support, saying, “Yeonju, good luck!”

“Interviews are done when actors have a new project! Reporters ask all sorts of questions.”

“Yes, that’s right. They ask all sorts of questions in entertainment news, right?”

“Yes.”

“Yes. Good job. An interview is about asking questions to find out about things you’re curious about.”

Siha raised his hand.

“Yes, Siha. Is there something you want to say?”

“Yes!”

“What is it?”

“You have to answer the interview questions in a cool and concise way. Like Hyung! In a foreign language!”

“Yes. You answer in a cool and concise way in a foreign language. That’s the story of the person answering the interview, right?”

“Yes! Holding the microphone and looking cool!”

“Being cool, is that what’s important?”

“That’s the most important thing. Being cool.”

“I see. I see.”

Anyway, being cool was important to Siha.

“And there has to be humor. Then it’s a perfect interview.”

“Wow. Humor. You know difficult words?”

“Yes!”

Siha had scenes of actors, directors, and Si-hyuk being interviewed in his head.

Speaking coolly and with composure.

That scene, which he had seen since he was young, became an unforgettable memory in Siha’s mind.

It had become an image of how it should be done.

The homeroom teacher said.

“But Siha, that’s only the person answering the interview, and the assignment I’m giving you is to become the person doing the interview!”

“!!!”

“Each of you will directly interview someone about a job you’re curious about, or the difficult aspects? Or the good aspects, etc. Mom is good, Dad is good, Hyung is good, aunts or uncles are all good.”

A job interview assignment.

It was an assignment where children could learn about what their mom and dad do, how they live, and what they feel.

Usually, it’s good for children to learn about their busy parents.

Sometimes, it tells how much parents love their children.

Even when work is hard, thinking of you gives me more strength.

Siha frowned and muttered.

“Uncle is unemployed…”

The homeroom teacher gave a bitter smile.

Interviewing an unemployed person would be quite fun, right?

Of course, she couldn’t say it out loud.

She was wondering if she should consider being unemployed as a job.

Even so, she was an elementary school teacher, so she couldn’t say that being unemployed could be a good job!

“Ahem. Anyway, try interviewing several people. Got it?”

“Yes!”

“Write what you interviewed in a diary and submit it.”

“Yes!”

The homeroom teacher gave enough notice, and the bell rang.

Recess.

She was organizing her books and was about to leave the classroom.

Seungjun looked at Siha.

“Siha, I want to interview a soccer player, but is there any way to meet one?”

“Who are you trying to meet?”

“Messi!”

“Since he’s a foreign player, you have to go abroad.”

“Yeah!”

“But going abroad requires a lot of money, so isn’t it difficult?”

“That’s the problem.”

Hana said.

“I want to interview an idol!”

Seungjun shook his head.

“That’s even harder.”

“No, it’s not. Oppa’s [older brother’s] is harder. Idols are still Korean people.”

“Even if idols are Korean people, they’re hard to meet!”

There was no difference in that they were both hard to meet.

The homeroom teacher was about to leave but made a dumbfounded expression at the twins’ interview worries.

No. Just interview your mom and dad normally…

Siha fell into 고민 [a state of worry or contemplation].

“I have too many people to interview. Hyung and Uncle. Ah. Except for Uncle. Art Teacher and Baekdong Hyung. And Hyunie Nuna [older sister figure]. And…”

Seungjun suddenly raised his head.

“Wow. Siha has so many. I want to interview with Siha too.”

“Hana too!”

Siha shrugged his shoulders.

“Okay. Let’s all interview together.”

Again, without asking the other party, the three of them teamed up.

Seeing the three of them doing it, the other children got a hint and formed teams to do it together.

Yeonju, Jaehui, and Jongsu.

Eunwoo and Yundong.

And the other children also decided to pair up and interview.

The homeroom teacher was dumbfounded at the sight of it suddenly becoming a group assignment.

Why did it turn out like this?

Is this right? This wasn’t my intention?

Education doesn’t always flow as intended.

***

As soon as Siha came home, he started the interview.

The 준비물 [preparations] were a Bluetooth microphone that was lying around uselessly at home, and a notebook and pencil.

The first person to interview was Hyung.

“Hyung, come here quickly. I have school homework.”

“Okay. Just a moment. I’ll be out soon.”

I washed my hands in the bathroom and came out.

It seemed like Siha was very motivated today.

“What’s going on?”

“Today, I got an assignment to interview about jobs.”

“Oh. That’s a very important assignment.”

“Yeah. So I decided to go interview with Seungjun and Hana.”

“Oh? My interview too?”

“No. I’m the only one who will do Hyung’s interview.”

“Ah. I see.”

Hyung’s exclusive interview article!

It must be something like that.

Siha held out the microphone.

“Take this.”

“Okay.”

“Then I’ll ask questions. The teacher told me to write down the questions in advance.”

“Oh. The teacher taught you properly.”

Interviewing wasn’t easy.

Organizing the questions in advance helped you not forget even if you were nervous and get good answers.

“What kind of work do you do?”

“I do interpreting and translating. These days, I do more translating than interpreting.”

“Is translating fun?”

“Usually, I bring books that are fun and that Korean people will like, so it’s very fun and interesting to translate. I sometimes get movie translations, and that’s fun too.”

“Then is working fun? Or is playing with Siha more fun?”

Isn’t that too personal of an interview?

It felt like the answer was obviously the latter!

“Playing with Siha is more fun.”

“Me too! Playing with Hyung is fun!”

“Siha. We’re in the middle of an interview.”

“It’s okay!”

Hmm. Is this how you do an interview?

Can you show me the questionnaire?

Let me see what you wrote so diligently.

When I reached out my hand to the notebook, Siha took the notebook in his arms as if it were a secret and stepped back.

Well, there’s no way I can’t see it.

“You can’t see it!”

“Is there something amazing written there?”

“There’s something amazing written there.”

How amazing are the questions?!?

I’m getting nervous.

I chuckled at Siha’s appearance.

“Proceed.”

“Okay! No! Yes! Then, were there any difficult things?”

“Hmm. There’s nothing particularly difficult, but because I live a busy day, there are times when I want to rest leisurely.”

Siha wrote down my answer diligently.

“Work is done leisurely and coolly. Nothing difficult, it’s easy.”

Excuse me? Mr. Siha? That’s not what I meant?

Can reporters distort interviews like this!

Release the facts! Don’t subtly mix truth and lies.

In some ways, Siha may have a talent for journalism?

I wonder how he wrote the other things.

He wrote it properly, right?

“Next question!”

“Yes. Ask the next question.”

“Then Hyung. No. Mr. Hyung.”

Shouldn’t I say Mr. Si-hyuk? Siha Reporter? What is Mr. Hyung. Mr. Hyung. Hey! Mister! It’s not like that.

“Then, what is the most important thing when doing translation work?”

It was a surprisingly good interview question.

“I think the most important thing is diligence. Doing it steadily every day.”

“Do well every day in a cool way.”

I said diligence, but he wrote that he does well every day in a cool way.

If you write it like that, it sounds like you’re showing off too much!

“Diligence.”

“Ah! Cool diligence.”

Do you have to attach cool?

Is this right?

“Hyung didn’t say cool, though?”

“It’s okay. I accepted it as cool.”

Is that okay? Really?

I looked at Siha as if I was dumbfounded.

Whatever I say, cool will be included, right?

“Last question!”

Siha’s eyes sparkled as if he had written everything down.

It doesn’t matter what question comes out.

It was just important that Siha was writing.

I have to check it later.

“What is the last question?”

“If you were born again, would you want to do this job again?”

Oh. The question is so good?

Is Siha a genius?

Or did the teacher give you the questionnaire?

“I think I’ll do this job again even if I’m born again. I can see various stories before they are published, or before movies are released. And I earn quite a bit too. Interpreting is also very attractive. I can meet and get to know various people.”

I adjusted the microphone and continued.

“And more than anything, I think it’s really good that I can introduce or have Siha meet various people, no matter what job he decides to do.”

Was it too long?

I should have spoken while resting a little.

I should ask if I need to say it again.

Siha muttered while writing diligently.

“I want to be Siha Hyung next time too.”

I didn’t say that!

Why do you write like that from those words!

Of course, it’s not that I didn’t want to be Siha Hyung.

“I’m done!”

“No. Um. Okay.”

Good job, Siha.

“Can Hyung check it? To see if you wrote it well?”

Siha jumped up again and hid the notebook behind his back.

“No! I wrote it well! It’s a secret!”

“Why!”

The questions and answers from the interview are written there, so why are you hiding it!

You wrote it strangely, right?!

“Hyung. Give me the microphone now.”

Siha takes the microphone from my hand.

If I leave it like this, the teacher will check the interview contents.

I’m already afraid of what she’ll think.

“Siha. Do you want to do the interview again? Originally, interviews are recorded.”

“No. It’s okay. I’ll record it from next time.”

No. Let’s record it again from now on! I have to explain to the teacher!

“It’s done now.”

It’s not done, Hyung is not okay?!?

“I have to interview Uncle~”

Siha ran away.

To Uncle on the sofa.

Uncle waved his hand as if chasing away a fly.

“Ah. What again!”

“Uncle’s job interview.”

“What interview does an unemployed person do.”

“You had a job before you were unemployed.”

“I did.”

“Then do that.”

“Hmm. I don’t know if I should say what job it is.”

That’s because I can’t say I’m a CIA agent.

No. That’s not important.

It’s important to properly correct what Siha wrote strangely.

I went to Siha.

“Siha. The interview isn’t over yet.”

“Huh? No. It’s over.”

“Originally, interviews have to write the words accurately.”

“I wrote it accurately.”

Where did you see it!

The words you’re muttering are saying that it’s not!

It’s completely different.

If someone sees it, it looks like you’re showing off a lot, so it looks annoying.

“Ah! I forgot this!”

“Huh?”

“How much do you earn?”

“That’s a secret.”

Siha muttered and wrote.

“I earn as much as my handsome face.”

No!!! I didn’t say that!

And something about the words… It sounds like I’m worth my face!!

Hey Uncle? Why are you nodding your head!

This isn’t an interview, is it? Are you writing this to make fun of me?

That’s what I think, but Siha’s face, who is diligently playing with the pencil, was serious.

Did he say he accepted it like that earlier?

Looking at Siha, who sincerely thought so, I couldn’t find the words to say anything.

Please have mercy…

I just covered my face with both hands.

I don’t know anymore.

Lee Si-hyuk surrenders.
