Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 79

Hyung, Am I Cute? 79

Usually, the class representative is the representative for each grade.

They often post announcements in group chat rooms, which leads to a lot of conversation.

It’s common to use a lot of emoticons to create a bright atmosphere.

Of course, not everyone does that.

Seo Su-hyeon, the class representative for the third grade, was famous for being an “emoticon millionaire” [someone who uses a lot of emoticons].

People would start using the emoticons she used.

So, what would happen?

If at least three people keep using them, other people get influenced and start thinking, ‘Should I buy one too?’

Already, two people were using them in the third-grade chat room.

Me and Seo Su-hyeon.

-Seo Su-hyeon: Everyone who applied for the field training this summer, please gather in room 305 by 3 PM.

The field training is divided into summer and winter, and you can choose one of the two.

You don’t necessarily have to choose one.

But if you do, you get replacement credits that allow you to skip one or two required major courses.

‘Which companies are participating?’

It’s actually a bit difficult to work and take care of students at the same time.

‘Actually, it might be fun to boss them around.’

In reality, you end up doing a lot of odd jobs.

Sometimes they give you assignments.

That’s what I heard from the seniors.

I didn’t have a choice about it.

‘Because there might be a situation where I have to take Siha with me.’

A place where I can go with Siha during the vacation.

A place that preemptively selected me and made an offer.

That was KI Media.

‘I should reply first.’

I sent ‘ㅇㅇ’ [Korean slang for “okay” or “got it”].

Everyone seemed to have seen it, and they replied.

-Seo Su-hyeon: (Thank you~ Pepe emoticon)

-Lee Si-hyuk: (Nodding Pepe emoticon)

If you use them this often, you’ll end up buying them little by little without realizing it.

Familiarity is a scary thing.

I ended the chat like that.

Time passed.

It was 3 PM.

“Is everyone already here except for me?”

I approached Seo Su-hyeon.

Seo Su-hyeon quickly turned off her phone and looked at me.

“What’s up?”

“Ah, oppa [older brother or male friend]. Everyone’s been waiting for 10 minutes. We have to choose a company today. There’s a limited number of people.”

“That’s right.”

“The department office unnie [older sister or female friend] told me to decide and hand it over.”

“Really? Then we can start. But what were you hiding earlier?”

“It’s nothing. What am I hiding?”

“It doesn’t seem like nothing.”

“Ahem. Then I’ll start.”

Seo Su-hyeon went to the front of the whiteboard.

She started writing the names of the companies with a whiteboard marker.

Broadcasting station, KI Media, Meltz, research institute, etc.

There were various companies.

But I only had one to choose.

‘Seeing Meltz, it seems like Dohwan hyung [older brother or male friend] put in some effort.’

I can’t believe cooperation would work there.

Is it thanks to me? Nah. No way.

More than that, I was already decided.

I had already talked to KI Media.

It was on the condition that they specifically put me in.

“Then everyone, please choose the place you want. If there are too many people, decide with rock-paper-scissors.”

Seo Su-hyeon approached me.

“Oppa. You’re going to KI Media, right?”

“Yeah. Actually, I didn’t need to come, but I was curious about who I could go with.”

“Really? Then I should go to KI Media too.”

“Why? Isn’t it better for you to go to the broadcasting station?”

I don’t know what kind of work they’ll give you, but the broadcasting station might be helpful when filming videos later.

“I feel like if I’m with oppa, they’ll give me fewer odd jobs. And I might write a more meaningful report.”

“Yeah. Maybe.”

The prediction will be wrong.

You’ll probably be working.

And working hard.

It’s been a while since I’ve been to KI Media, but I still can’t forget the dark circles of the people there.

“And it’s not just singing videos that we’ll be filming.”

“You’re going to film other videos too?”

“If it’s fun, I should try anything. It’s important to increase the number of subscribers. I might discover another talent.”

That was a good spirit of challenge.

I looked at Seo Su-hyeon as if she was admirable.

Then I should give her some advice that fits.

“How about a frog-catching broadcast? Bullfrog catches a frog!”

“Why frogs all of a sudden?”

“You’re the bullfrog. The one catching is the green frog.”

Seo Su-hyeon glared at me.

“I’m just kidding.”

“You always tease me.”

“Your reaction is so funny. Bullfrog was a bit much, how about a beautiful frog?”

“Can you get away from the frog?”

“Then I sang a song with a frog. How about this?”

“This oppa, really!”

I stopped here and stepped back.

Seo Su-hyeon let out a hollow laugh as if she was dumbfounded.

“Oppa. I still get comments saying I’m pretty.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Ah……”

Seo Su-hyeon made an ‘oops’ expression.

She flipped her hair once and showed me her phone.

“Actually, I filmed and uploaded a few times.”

“Oh! Really? Why didn’t you tell me? I’ll subscribe.”

“I’m a little embarrassed to be known by people I know……”

“You know well.”

“Ah, oppa!”

I pressed subscribe on the [Shu] channel and looked at Seo Su-hyeon.

“But is it okay to be here like this? You said you were going to KI Media.”

“We already filled the spots in advance.”

“Who decided that?”

“The class representative did.”

As expected, power is good.

But looking at it, KI Media isn’t popular.

Everyone must feel the aura of dark circles.

After everyone was decided to some extent, one person came up.

The person who came was a classmate who used to flirt with Seo Su-hyeon.

I remember his name now.

‘It was Kim Byung-soo, right? Maybe?’

Kim Byung-soo came up and smiled.

“Wow. I’m going to the same place as you guys. This team luck is good? Actually, I didn’t want to go here, but I think it’ll be better if I hang out with you guys.”

This is really something. I had nothing to say to such a brazen face.

Seo Su-hyeon frowned.

Yeah. Field training will be fun.

***

-Daycare.

Today, Siha brought a tablet from his penguin bag.

It was to show the Pepe emoticon.

“Seungjun! Hana! This!”

Siha frantically sent Pepe emoticons through Hyung’s KakaoTalk [Korean messaging app].

Seungjun and Hana’s eyes sparkled as they watched it.

“Wow! Awesome!”

“Wow! Penguin!”

Seungjun grabbed Siha’s hand.

“Siha. Can I try it too?”

“Ah ah. This Siha drawing.”

“Huh? Really!”

“Ah ah.”

Seungjun clicked on the Pepe emoticon.

The Pepe emoticon is rising more and more.

The cute picture captivated the hearts of the twins.

The teacher who discovered it grabbed the tablet.

“Okay, let’s play with this at home. Okay?”

Seungjun shook his head.

“No! I’m going to play with it! Right, Siha?”

“Ah ah!”

“Hana too. Hana too!”

But the teacher was a master.

She knew how to change the children’s minds with her eyes closed.

“Then Siha. Hyung will hate it if you keep doing this here? Is that okay?”

“No! Hyung. Siha like.”

Gloomy.

Siha imagined Hyung hating him and squatted on the floor in despair.

“If you don’t do this, Hyung won’t hate Siha. Let’s play with it at home. Okay?”

“Ah ah.”

Nod nod.

Siha took the tablet and put it in his penguin bag.

Today, the penguin bag felt heavier.

The teacher turned her head and looked at Seungjun and Hana.

“If you do this at daycare, your eyes will get bad and you won’t be able to see your mom’s face later?”

“Ah, no!”

“Hana will see Mom!”

Two people clear.

The teacher nodded at the perfect performance.

Seungjun looked at the teacher and grabbed Siha’s hand and dragged him over.

“The teacher only says bad things. She’s a villain.”

“That’s right. She’s a villain.”

“Ah ah!”

Siha agreed with that.

That’s how the hero play started.

“We have to defeat the bad villain!”

“That’s right!”

“Ah ah!”

The teacher thought, ‘This isn’t it?’ but decided to run away first.

The children chased after the teacher who was running away.

But they couldn’t catch the fast teacher.

“Fast! Too fast!”

“Hana is tired. I’m going to stop now.”

“Ah ah.”

The tired children sat down on the floor.

The teacher saw that and smiled and approached the three of them.

“Then, instead of playing hero, shall we make emoticons together?”

Seungjun and Hana’s eyes widened as if they were interested.

“Yes!”

“Hana wants to make it too!”

“Siha too!”

Siha, who had tasted emoticons this time, also sparkled his eyes.

The teacher smiled slyly as if she had been caught.

Playing with active children was very physically demanding.

Sometimes, you had to know how to create a timing to rest your stamina by drawing like this.

“Then shall we draw the friends we think of as animals?”

The teacher thought it was a good idea.

A daycare teacher is someone who promotes harmony with friends even in these drawings.

Siha listened to the teacher’s words and started thinking about who to draw.

Seungjun said.

“Siha. Who are you going to draw?”

“Ah?”

Siha was worried and made eye contact with Jongsu.

“Ah ah! Jongsu!”

“Huh? Aren’t you drawing me?”

“Ah ah.”

Siha decided to draw Jongsu.

Jongsu shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be good.

“Haha. Did you finally realize that I’m handsome?”

“No.”

“You’re lying. Hey. Seungjun. I’ll draw you.”

Seungjun turned his head at Jongsu’s words.

“Hana. Draw oppa.”

“Huh? No. Hana will draw Si-hyuk oppa.”

Seungjun felt a slight sense of betrayal.

“Then I’ll draw Siha.”

“Ah ah.”

In the end, Seungjun chose Siha.

The other children also chose one by one and started drawing their friends.

The teacher watched the scene with a happy smile.

The reason why she didn’t particularly stop Hana was because she knew that Hana’s stubbornness couldn’t be broken.

Also, it was a pity.

Because it was an unrequited love.

No, it was puppy love.

No, it might be seed love [early stage of love or infatuation].

Everyone was engrossed in drawing and completed one by one.

The teacher said.

“Then Seungjun, can you tell me first? Who is this picture of?”

“Yes! This is Siha! When I see Siha, I think of a puppy, so I drew a puppy!”

It was a puppy picture that Seungjun drew cutely in his own way.

But the puppy’s head was a bowl cut [a simple haircut where the hair is cut straight around the head].

He gave Siha’s hair point.

“Next, shall we have Hana speak?”

“Yes! Hana drew Si-hyuk oppa. Hana is also a puppy.”

No wonder they’re twins, the pictures are the same.

Even the bowl cut.

The only difference was that there was a crown on the puppy’s head.

“Next, shall we have Jongsu try?”

“Yes! I drew Seungjun. This is a ‘horse.’ I’m going to ride it.”

Seungjun reacted.

“Hey!”

“Why!”

The teacher calmed the two down.

Instead of becoming close, they might end up fighting.

“Seungjun. Horses are very fast. Maybe if Seungjun grew up as big as the teacher, he would have been caught.”

Seungjun sat down in his seat as if he was calmed down by the teacher’s words.

Jongsu sat down proudly.

“Then, finally, shall we show Siha’s picture to his friends?”

“Ah ah!”

Siha got up from his seat.

He confidently unfolded the picture.

The children admired Siha’s picture.

That was the same with the teacher.

“Wow! Siha draws well!”

“Cute!”

“Oh my. He really draws well.”

Jongsu also had a satisfied expression on the cute picture.

Because he didn’t know that Siha would draw him so well.

Siha looked at Jongsu and explained the picture.

“Ah ah. Jongsu! Sheep!”

“Jongsu is a sheep? You drew it really cute.”

“Ah ah. Sheep!”

“But why a sheep?”

“Sheep…. Ugh. No.”

Siha covered his mouth and shook his head.

Hyung said that he shouldn’t use the word ‘thug.’

“Huh?”

The teacher tilted her head.

“Jongsu. Bad.”

Jongsu got angry.

“What did I do!”

At that time, Seungjun got up from his seat with a happy smile as if he knew.

“Ah! Shepherd boy! Hahaha! He’s a shepherd boy!”

“Ah ah.”

Nod nod.

Siha knows the shepherd boy.

Very simply.

He wasn’t a good child.

In fact, he could be thought of as a prankster, but Siha didn’t think he was a good child.

Because he made Seungjun angry today too.

The teacher thought.

‘What kind of close relationship? Ah, I’m ruined…….’

Even among children, there were groups that weren’t close.
