Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 74

Am I Cute, Hyung? – Episode 74 (74/500)

A child found a teddy bear on a bench by the street.

It was a teddy bear someone had lost.

The child picked up the bear and tossed it under a utility pole.

“Ew. Dirty!”

The child dusted off their hands and skipped home.

The teddy bear’s eyes gleamed red.

“Why don’t you return me to my owner! You’ll pay for this!”

That night, the child fell asleep.

When they woke up, they had become a teddy bear.

“Waaaaah! Why did I become a teddy bear?!”

The child, now a teddy bear, cried sadly.

How could they possibly return to their original body?

That was all they could think about.

Then,

A voice echoed in their head.

“If you return the lost toys, you can return to your original body.”

“Who is it! Who’s doing this! Give me back my body now!”

“Sorry, but I can’t do that.”

The voice was no longer heard.

The child, now a teddy bear, screamed at the top of their lungs, but it was no use.

A nearby robot, annoyed by the noise, spoke up.

“Be quiet!”

“Who are you!”

“I’m a robot. Teddy bear.”

“What? A robot?”

“Yes. I’m trying to figure out how to get out of here, so be quiet.”

“Where is this place?”

“This is a prison. A place where lost toys come!”

The teddy bear looked around and saw quite a few toys.

A robot, a LEGO person on a horse, a dinosaur, and a Snake Chuck-Chuck.

“Huh? There’s a jail cell here?”

“That’s right. We’re going to escape from here and return to our original owners.”

“Really? Then there’s a way out?”

“No. I don’t really know. How should we get out? I’m thinking about it.”

The other toys were also at a loss.

Because there weren’t any smart toys.

All these toys ever thought about was wanting to play with their owners in a fun and exciting way.

Only the child who became a teddy bear could save them.

The teddy bear said.

“Okay. Then I’ll make a plan for you. All you have to do is follow it!”

First, they looked around.

There was no door in this jail cell.

“Since there’s no door here, there must be another device. Has anyone seen anything?”

Then the LEGO person on the horse said.

“I’ve seen it! When I clicked that button, the jail cell went down!”

The child shouted.

“That’s it! If you press that button, the jail cell will definitely go up again!”

“But how are we going to open it?”

“That’s easy! There’s only one toy here that can get out of this jail cell and press the button!”

The child pointed to Snake Chuck-Chuck.

It was in the shape of a ball now, but it was actually a toy that could freely transform like a snake.

“Snake, transform into a snake shape and get out of here! Your height will reach the button!”

At those words, Snake Chuck-Chuck transformed its body into a long, straight line.

It slipped right through the jail cell and passed through.

It also pressed the button easily.

Clunk.

The jail cell went up, and the toys were able to escape from prison.

“Okay, everyone, let’s go out!”

Just then,

A siren went off in the prison.

The escape had been discovered.

Wooo eee oooo. Wooo eee oooo.

The child shouted.

“Hurry, run over there!”

Everyone hurriedly started running away.

The first to go ahead was the LEGO person on the horse.

Clip-clop. Clip-clop.

Following behind was the dinosaur.

The child also quickly waddled along.

But Snake Chuck-Chuck was slow because its body was angular.

The child had no choice but to pick up Snake Chuck-Chuck’s body and run.

The LEGO person said.

“This is a disaster. The bridge is cut off!”

The child looked around to see if there was a way.

And they were able to find another button.

But to press that button, they had to cross the bridge.

“I have a good idea. Robot! If you fire your fist, you can hit that button.”

The robot nodded and fired its fist.

Thwack!

As the fist went out and pressed the button, the rest of the bridge rose from the floor.

“Run again!”

They had almost made it out of the prison, but another obstacle appeared.

A giant wall appeared along with several prison guards.

“You guys! You can’t get past here.”

The child thought again and looked at the dinosaur.

“Dinosaur! You’re a Tyrannosaurus, right?”

“That’s right!”

“Then you must be super strong! Fight those guys!”

“Okay!”

The dinosaur defeated the prison guards with tremendous force.

It swung its tail to hit them, and it lifted them up with its hands and blew them away.

The LEGO figure next to him asked.

“But how are we going to get over that wall?”

“I have a way.”

The child pulled a thread from their body with a pop.

“We can use this thread. But how do we throw the thread to that wall?”

Then the LEGO person laughed loudly and said.

“Don’t worry, friend. I’m a cowboy! I’m confident in throwing ropes.”

The LEGO figure used a clove hitch knot.

Is this TMI [Too Much Information]? Do the kids not understand?

Then let’s do it again.

The LEGO figure made a circle with the rope.

He spun it around and hooked the loop onto the protruding part of the wall.

After confirming that it would never come undone, they all climbed up.

The dinosaur belatedly followed behind them and succeeded in escaping.

“Now, let’s go to the owner’s house you want to go to! Do you happen to know the address?”

When the child spoke, everyone said the address.

Surprisingly, everyone had the same address.

“Were you all owned by the same owner?”

“Yes. Our owner loses us all the time.”

“You really have an owner who loses things often. But you still want to go to that owner?”

“Yes. We want to see our owner happy.”

“Okay. Let’s go together.”

The toys went to where the child’s house was.

The toys standing in front of the door were excited.

“Then shall we ring the bell now?”

“Yes.”

The robot’s fist was fired and pressed the bell.

Ding-dong.

The child reattached the robot’s fist and hid.

The person who came out of the house was an adult.

“Oh, these toys! They’re the same as the toys I lost when I was little! Wow! It’s good to see you!”

That’s right.

The owner who lost the toys had already grown up and become an adult.

The child felt sad seeing that.

Because they knew that adults don’t play with toys anymore.

“What should I do? If this keeps up, won’t the toys go back to prison?”

Just then,

A girl popped out of the door and clung to the adult’s leg.

“Dad. What are these toys?”

“They’re the nostalgic toys that Dad used to play with when he was little.”

“Wow! Can I play with them!”

“Sure. It looks like someone threw them away here.”

“Yay!”

The girl hugged the toys and was happy.

The toys who saw their owner were also happy.

They can’t make their owner happy anymore, but they can make his child happy.

The child nodded, thinking it was a good thing.

“That’s a relief.”

After the toys found happiness in that way, the child also returned to their original body.

The child jumped up and looked at their body.

They were no longer a teddy bear.

“I’m back!”

The child jumped up and left the house.

They picked up the teddy bear under the utility pole.

“I’ll find the owner for you.”

The child took the teddy bear and looked for the owner in the nearby park.

There, a girl was calling for the teddy bear.

“Is this yours?”

“Yes! This is mine!”

The child was a little surprised to see the girl.

It was the girl they had seen in their dream!

“Do you want to play with me?”

“Okay!”

The two children had so much fun playing together.

Together with the teddy bear who found its owner.

[Behind]

“But how can the address be the same when the owner has become an adult?”

The child had one question.

The reason was simple.

The owner’s father was the landlord!

He had inherited the building!

“Shouldn’t we take this out?! It looks weird no matter how you look at it!”

I looked at Seo Soo-hyun and Baek Dong-hwan in disbelief.

“Oppa [term of endearment for an older brother or male friend used by a female]. The hidden setting here is important. Actually, the address that appears in this dream is the girl’s house. And this child has seen the girl enter that house.”

“That setting is weird too?!”

“In the end, the point of this ‘I became a toy lol’ is that he ended up dating the girl. The ending is that they get married at the end.”

“No, no. It’s weird. Is it just me who thinks it’s weird? Dong-hwan, is it?”

Baek Dong-hwan chuckled and said.

“It’s fun.”

“It’s not just about being fun…….”

Wouldn’t that make it ‘I seduced the only daughter of a rich landlord lol’?

What kind of fairy tale is this!

Due to my opposition, this part was decided to be left as a behind-the-scenes video.

Not doing it in the performance.

***

-After the performance.

I gave Si-ha a teddy bear.

“Si-ha. The teddy bear’s arm is all better now.”

“Gooom!”

“Yeah. Do you like it?”

“Ah-ah.”

“Hyung [term of endearment for an older brother or male friend used by a male] is happy because Si-ha is happy.”

“Hyung. Joa [good/like in Korean].”

I stroked Si-ha’s head.

Si-ha looks cute holding up the teddy bear’s arm.

Would this teddy bear be happy that Si-ha likes it?

It’s unlikely, but if there was a soul in the bear, it would be very happy.

“Let’s get it fixed if it gets hurt again. Okay?”

“Ah-ah.”

Si-ha held the bear’s hand and spun around.

The bear’s legs floated up.

They’re dancing together.

I think I know why one of the teddy bear’s arms was torn.

But it’s okay now because it’s sewn with new fabric.

“Si-ha.”

“Huh?”

“Toys can get hurt, but you can’t get hurt? Okay?”

“Ah-ah.”

I don’t know if he really understood.

But it’s common for children to get hurt and sick.

I hope Si-ha doesn’t get sick.

I got up from my seat and looked at Baek Dong-hwan and Seo Soo-hyun.

“Thank you for today. For doing the voice acting and playing the OST [Original Sound Track]. Soo-hyun, you sing really well?”

“Hyung. It was fun as if I was doing volunteer work for the first time in a while.”

“Oppa is praising me?”

I burst out laughing at their different reactions.

“Ahem. Shall we go now?”

But we might have to wait a little longer to go.

Everyone was busy looking at the repaired toys.

The mothers were awkwardly separating the children from the toys.

The toys will be sad, but there will be many days to play together in the future.

“Si-ha. Let’s go too.”

“Ah-ah.”

Si-ha quietly put the teddy bear in the toy box.

“Are you going to draw today too?”

“Ah-ah.”

“Are you going to draw what happened today again?”

Si-ha grabbed my hand tightly and said.

“Bear! My ggoya [mine in baby talk]!”

I burst out laughing at the words he was learning quickly.

It seemed like today’s drawing would be themed ‘Bear! My ggoya!’

***

The toy repair shop owner received the video.

He was looking forward to seeing what kind of video was taken.

Lee Si-hyuk said that he filmed it quite interestingly.

‘Hmm hmm. If that face comes out, will the number of views increase this time?’

He smiled and played the video with that thought in mind.

“Oh?!”

A different and interesting story structure than he had expected.

He never thought he would film such a video.

“This is quite fun.”

In the video, children were gathered together watching a play.

Everyone seemed to be concentrating because they were having fun.

“This, this. The video length is also appropriate and good?”

He felt a sense of satisfaction that he had earned more than the repair fee.

He was very happy because it seemed to give the children a good lesson.

“Fun! Huh?”

But the video wasn’t over.

There was another video of them practicing before filming the play.

“Did they film the same thing twice?”

He was curious about this video too, so he watched it.

There were parts where they made mistakes in the middle, and there were parts where they said TMI, but this was also fun in its own way.

But…….

“Huh? No. What is this?”

At the end, a shocking setting, a behind-the-scenes video, came out, and he blankly stared at the scene.

It was truly a childhood innocence breaker.

“Who wrote this scenario?”

At this point, he couldn’t help but wonder who wrote the scenario.

So he received a list from Si-hyuk under the pretext of adding ending credits like in a movie.
