Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 56

Hyung, Am I Cute? – Episode 56 (56/500)

From morning, I could hear lively fighting sounds in my ears.

Bang! Bang!

I rubbed my eyes and woke up to the sound coming from the TV.

‘What is that sound?’

Maybe because I reduced my sleep, I was still tired in the morning, and my ears were sensitive.

Especially at this point, I realized that it was more comfortable to have a quiet morning.

“Siha?”

It seemed Siha had turned on the TV.

When I came out to the living room, Siha was focused on watching Penguin Monster.

How on earth did he tune to that channel?

After checking, it was a channel called Aniverse.

A channel that only broadcasts cartoons for children.

“Siha, you shouldn’t watch cartoons from morning.”

“Ah, hyung.”

Siha put down the remote control and clung to my leg.

“Hyung~”

“Then, should I turn off the TV?”

Shake, shake.

He shook his head vigorously.

I gently grabbed the remote control.

“Ah! Hyung!”

“There is a set time for watching cartoons.”

“Hyung~”

Siha fluttered my pants.

I almost fell for his cuteness, but what’s not allowed is not allowed.

Looking at the TV, the Emperor Penguin was about to transform.

「Then, it’s the second transformation! Emperor Penguin!」

「Peng Peng!」

It was definitely an important scene.

“Hyung~ Siha, just one.”

“Huh?”

Siha raised one finger and held it out to me.

I realized what he was saying from his staring gaze.

Just once.

I think he was trying to say something like that.

But he’s so cute.

Let’s just let it slide for today.

“Watch it only while Hyung is making breakfast. Not when eating. Got it?”

“Ah.”

Nod, nod.

I stroked Siha’s head and handed him the remote control.

Siha sat down and looked at the TV.

Fortunately, he was far away as I had taught him.

He listens to me well.

「Peng-」

I was about to prepare food, but I was concerned about the Emperor Penguin’s second transformation.

I saw the third one last time.

‘Should I watch it together for now?’

Even though it’s a kids’ cartoon, it was secretly fun to watch together.

In fact, I secretly watched the next episode and got caught, so Siha spanked my butt.

-Hyung. Together.

-I’m sorry.

I laughed as I recalled that day.

“Ah. Pepe.”

Siha got up from his seat as if he was excited.

Finally, the second transformation was happening on the screen.

The Emperor Penguin’s fur turned red, scattering hazy smoke.

He gently placed his short hand on the floor.

「Peng!」

「Emperor Penguin Gear Two!」

Is the third transformation Super Emperor Penguin Three, and the second transformation Gear Two?

I had nothing to say if it was a setting.

“Ah. Gear Two!”

Siha put one hand on the ground.

He’s squatting awkwardly, and his butt is bulging out, which is cute.

I slyly poked his butt.

Then Siha rolled forward.

Roll, roll.

“Ah?”

“Ahaha. What is that.”

“Ah.”

“I’m watching. Hyung will make food soon.”

“Ah.”

I was satisfied because I saw the mysterious transformation scene.

I have to prepare quickly because I have to go to daycare.

***

-Daycare.

Today, they prepared to make carnations to celebrate Parents’ Day [a holiday similar to Mother’s and Father’s Day combined].

The teacher cut the tissue paper into circles in advance so that the children could easily make them.

The red tissue paper, made by overlapping 10 sheets, was fixed in the middle with a stapler.

“Okay, everyone. Today is Parents’ Day. So, we’re going to make carnations. You have to say ‘Thank you for giving birth to me’ to your mom and dad. Got it?”

“Yes!”

“Ah.”

Everyone answered vigorously.

The teacher smiled as if satisfied.

“Then, you make carnations and put them around your necks. Got it?”

“Yes!”

Originally, I was thinking of making carnations so that they could be worn on the chest, but the children were still too young to wear them directly.

Since sharp things were dangerous, they were transformed into necklaces.

“Okay. Then let’s make it today.”

“Yes.”

The teacher handed what she had prepared in advance to the children.

Two for mom and dad.

Then, the teacher worried about giving Siha’s share.

Whether to give only one unlike the other kids.

Or give two.

“Ah?”

“Haha. Siha, how many do you need?”

Siha looked at the teacher and held out three fingers.

“Three!”

“Huh? Three?”

“Ah.”

“Why three?”

“Mom. Dad. Hyung [older brother figure].”

“Ah…. Okay. Okay. Let’s make three for Siha.”

The teacher gave Siha three.

Seungjun and Hana, who were watching from the side, raised their hands.

“Then I want three too.”

“Hana also wants three.”

The teacher looked at them in disbelief.

“Why do you guys want them?”

“I’m going to have mine.”

“Hana is going to give it to Si-hyuk oppa [term used by younger girls to address older male friends or brothers].”

Seungjun showed possessiveness by sticking out his stomach, and Hana had a cute idea of giving it to Si-hyuk.

I was worried about what to do with these twins, so I gave them one each.

“Not one.”

“Hana is not one either.”

“I’m sorry, but you’re supposed to give one to your mom and dad.”

Seungjun shook his head.

“Then I want two!”

“Hana wants two too!”

“The same!”

“The same!”

The teacher made a helpless expression as she looked at the two.

I had no choice but to give them two each.

“Okay. I’ll give you two each. Three is not allowed.”

“Okay!”

“Okay!”

They had already forgotten that they had asked for three in their heads.

“Then I’ll teach you how to make it. Fold one sheet of paper on top towards the center like this.”

Everyone folded diligently.

Some kids crumpled it, but it didn’t matter.

Originally, it was a way to make it pretty even if it was crumpled.

“You repeat that by folding two, three, up to ten sheets.”

Everyone diligently folded the tissue paper upwards one by one with their small hands.

Because they folded one by one, space was created, and the flower became abundant.

The carnation was completed as it was seen.

Hana’s eyes widened.

“Wow. Pretty.”

“Ah!”

Siha looked at the red carnation he made.

Three carnations that were made so easily.

Mom’s. Dad’s. Hyung’s.

A slight smile appeared at the thought of giving it to them.

The teacher did not miss that scene.

Because she had prepared the camera in advance based on her past experience.

Click. Click. Click.

A rare photo of Siha’s smile came into my hand.

“Then it’s complete if you attach the name tag necklace string here.”

The teacher clipped the clip attached to the name tag necklace to the carnation.

A simple necklace was completed.

But the children were already smiling, wearing it around their necks.

The teacher smiled bitterly as if she knew it would happen.

“Okay. Don’t forget that you have to give it to your mom and dad, not wear it around your necks.”

“Yes!”

“Ah.”

“And today is not the end. We’re going to make a pretty heart photo zone too.”

The teacher took out a large hardboard from somewhere.

The letters printed out read [Parents, I love you].

Underneath it, a pretty heart was drawn with a red marker.

“Let’s tear the red tissue paper here and make a heart.”

“Yes!”

Everyone had water glue and tore the tissue paper and attached it to the heart as the teacher taught them.

The teacher nodded as she watched the scene.

This is the vibe that comes from experience.

The goal was to drag out the Children’s Day event for a long time and finish the day.

For that, the teacher had also prepared a song.

“After this is over, we’ll learn a Parents’ Day song too!”

A professional daycare teacher uses the day usefully and educates the children.

It was a teacher who was satisfied with the full schedule.

After a while.

The photo zone was finished, and the children were taught a song.

A song that children can easily sing along to.

[Mother’s Grace]

[People say the sky is high.

I have one more thing that is high.

Mother’s grace for giving birth and raising me.

It seems higher than the blue sky.]

“Okay. Then shall we sing it again?”

But teaching was not easy.

The children sang along well.

The only problem was that there were always kids who rewrote the lyrics.

That was Seungjun.

“I have one more thing that is high!”

Hana, who was next to him, started singing along, inspired by Seungjun’s rewriting.

“A long neck and long legs! A long giraffe!”

Siha was the same.

“At home. More than the tree. It seems high!”

Before they knew it, everyone was singing the rewritten version as if paint was spreading in the water.

The teacher screamed.

“No! That’s not it!”

Everyone has a plausible plan.

Until it becomes a complete mess.

It was a teacher who was learning practice once again.

***

Parents arrived to pick up their children.

Although they don’t hold special Parents’ Day events, they took pictures over the photo zone that the children made that day and made memories.

Siha watched the scene while waiting for Hyung, who was coming late today.

Children putting carnations around their parents’ necks.

Children hugging each other and taking pictures in the photo zone.

Siha looked at the three carnations in his hand.

“Ah.”

Siha realized one thing.

That he can’t put a necklace around his mom and dad.

“Hyung…….”

Gloomy.

I didn’t feel good.

For some reason, Hyung didn’t come quickly today, and strangely, a gloomy feeling passed through my heart.

At that moment!

The door burst open, and Hyung came in.

“Huck. Huck. Siha.”

Siha’s eyes widened as he saw Hyung coming in panting.

Because pink and blue lights were floating around Hyung’s shoulders.

“Hyung!”

“Siha.”

Siha jumped up from his seat and ran to Hyung.

The necklace attached to the three carnations held tightly in his hand swayed slightly.

“Hyung!”

“Yeah. Siha. Did you wait too long?”

“Ah.”

Nod, nod.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”

“Ah. Hyung. This.”

Siha held out three carnations.

“Huh? Are you giving all three to Hyung?”

“No.”

“Then?”

“Hyung. Mom. Dad.”

“Ah…….”

Siha put the carnation around Hyung’s neck.

And he put the remaining two on Hyung’s two shoulders, respectively.

The blue and pink lights wriggled and drew a heart.

“Hehe.”

“Huh? Siha is smiling?”

“Ah.”

“Yeah. It’s funny because Hyung is wearing it like this, right?”

“Ah.”

Si-hyuk hugged Siha and stood in the photo zone.

“Teacher, please take a picture of us like this.”

“Oh my. Si-hyuk. What are the carnations on your shoulders? Hoho. Siha is sometimes unpredictable.”

“I know.”

“I have to take a picture quickly when Siha smiles like this.”

“Yes. Quickly. Quickly.”

The teacher took a picture for Siha.

Click. Click. Click.

I took the picture quickly because I was afraid the smile would disappear, but Siha continued to smile.

“How. So cute.”

“I know. Why is he smiling so much today?”

“Hyung~”

“Yeah. Yeah. Siha, are you in a good mood?”

“Ah.”

“He must be very happy.”

Si-hyuk stroked Siha’s head.

Siha thought that he was different from himself in many ways.

-Si-hyuk’s childcare diary. 6 years old.

-May 8th Parents’ Day.

Today, Si-hyuk gave me two carnations.

When I asked why he gave me two, I heard that Dad is also a mom and a dad to him.

I really don’t know how he can speak so well…….

My friends around me say that daughters are the best, but my son is the best for me.

I thanked Si-hyuk and told him to go eat something delicious.

Si-hyuk thought about it and said he wanted to eat a hamburger.

He said that all his friends had eaten it deliciously, but he had never eaten it.

I felt sorry for no reason and took my son’s hand and went to the hamburger restaurant.

When I asked him what kind of hamburger he wanted to eat, he said he wanted to eat a bulgogi burger [Korean BBQ flavored burger].

Fool. That’s the cheapest one.

When I told him to eat something more expensive if possible, Si-hyuk scolded me, saying, “Don’t spend a lot of money.”

I told him that I could buy an expensive burger because I made a lot of money this time, but he shook his head and said.

“If you spend a lot of money because a lot of money came in, when will you pay off the debt?”

Where on earth is he hearing this?

Does the child know that he is paying off his grandfather’s debt?

I thought so, but I wasn’t sure.

I said it was okay and ordered a set, saying I could buy this much.

Si-hyuk didn’t seem happy.

Still, he was eating french fries with his cheeks full like a squirrel, and I thought that he was still a child.

I kept looking at Si-hyuk, and he asked why Dad wasn’t eating, so I said that Dad was full because he received a carnation.

“Oh, a lie.”

When I said that Dad doesn’t like hamburgers, Si-hyuk said this.

“It’s not that Dad said he doesn’t like hamburgers. Just eat with Dad.”

How do you know that song…….

He is a son with good application skills.

I really don’t like eating hamburgers because my stomach doesn’t feel good, but it’s unfair.
