Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 91

Hyung, Am I Cute? – Part 91 (91/500)

In the end, I stood before the stage.

I couldn’t help it since Siha wanted it.

Siha was too cute to refuse.

And it wasn’t right to waste people’s time.

‘But where did Siha get that Bluetooth microphone he’s holding?’

Before I knew it, Siha was waving the Bluetooth microphone at me.

He looked like he was showing off something amazing.

“Hyung. This. Sing song! Do.”

“Wow! That’s really amazing!”

“Ah ah.”

I knew that it played songs, but I pretended not to know.

Because I knew Siha liked it when I reacted like this.

‘That’s not the problem.’

I felt nervous standing in front of the stage.

Even if the kids were short and not easily seen from the back, I would be clearly visible.

I’d rather interpret for many people than sing like this; it was so embarrassing.

Alisa in the front was smiling and taking pictures of us with her camera.

‘Easy for her, not her problem?’

Seo Su-hyun on the stage said.

“Shall we sing a song that the kids know well? A song that everyone has heard at least once. The Number Song!”

Jwaang. Jwaang.

The sound of the guitar echoed cheerfully.

The kids nodded their heads, knowing the song well.

They looked cute holding the prepared microphones tightly.

Except for Siha, who stood out with his Bluetooth microphone.

‘This is so embarrassing?’

Once the song started, I didn’t know where to look.

I wouldn’t have been embarrassed if it were a presentation or something.

No, maybe if it were a ballad or a pop song, it would have been less embarrassing.

But a children’s song.

Singing a children’s song in front of people.

How many people could endure this?

I squeezed my eyes shut and sang.

“One!”

“Get up and plaaay~”

The audience seemed excited and some even joined in.

I looked around and then gazed down at Siha below.

I’d rather just look at Siha while singing.

Siha must have felt my gaze because he turned his head and met my eyes.

Click.

The embarrassment melted away.

Siha was smiling brightly and singing along.

Right. If Siha is happy, I can endure even this embarrassment.

It’s worth coming out here just to see that smile.

‘But the harmony is a mess.’

The harmony, which hadn’t been practiced, was a mess, but that’s what made it sound good.

No, it looked good.

The children’s energetic singing echoed in the cafe.

There was a time when I sang like that too.

Singing loudly with young voices, messing up the notes and rhythm.

When you’re singing together, you don’t care about that.

You get caught up in the feeling of ‘joy’ and enjoy the situation while singing.

It’s fun because you’re with friends.

It’s fun because the song is exciting.

That’s enough.

There’s no need to sing well. It’s a song to enjoy, so is there a need to sing well?

The people over there are smiling too.

‘This kind of experience is fun too.’

Thanks to Siha, I’m also learning about the joy of music.

Siha is looking at me.

I am looking at Siha.

The space expands as the melody spreads widely in this place where we are together.

“I’ll never change this feeling~”

The world that we are looking at together doubles in size.

A scenery that I wouldn’t be able to see if Siha wasn’t here.

I took the microphone away from my mouth and took Siha’s hand.

“Was it fun?”

“Ah ah.”

“Hyung had fun too. Let’s go inside now.”

“Ah ah.”

Just as we were about to go inside, Seo Su-hyun beat me to it.

“Okay! Let’s give the children who sang a round of applause!”

Clap clap clap.

“Okay! Everyone, let’s all say hello together!”

So everyone greeted together once.

“Oh my! Where are you going? Hyung, who was looking at his younger sibling like a ballad duet singer while singing an exciting children’s song!”

I flinched.

What again? Don’t tell me it’s because the children’s song ended too early?

Seo Su-hyun grinned.

“Could you perhaps sing a short song for your younger sibling? The children’s song was too short.”

Holding the microphone, I smiled awkwardly.

“Hyung. Sing?”

Siha looked at me with sparkling eyes.

I was about to refuse…….

I subtly racked my brain.

Is there a way to satisfy these expectations and get out of this smoothly?

I don’t really want to sing in front of people.

I also want to retaliate against Seo Su-hyun for spitefully catching me.

I also want to fulfill Siha’s expectations.

So, I came to a conclusion.

“Singing is a bit much, so I’ll do a voice imitation.”

“Oh! A voice imitation?! I’m looking forward to this.”

“There’s that drama, Signal, right?”

“Ah! Signal!”

“Yes. I’ll briefly imitate the role of Detective Park Hae-young.”

“Oh!”

“I’ll arrange it a bit and send a message to the YouTuber [Shu] here.”

“Yes? Ah! Yes!”

Everyone had expectant eyes.

Seo Su-hyun, on the other hand, had uneasy eyes.

Ahem.

I cleared my throat.

“Chirp. YouTuber [Shu]?”

“Chirp. Yes.”

“Chirp. Where are you right now?”

“Chirp. I’m working part-time at a live cafe for the first time.”

“You might not believe it, but a murder case will happen there. The live cafe murder case is not over yet!”

Everyone made ‘Oh!’ sounds.

People who didn’t know the drama well had indifferent expressions.

If we’re going to have fun, let’s all enjoy it together.

I looked at Seo Su-hyun.

“If you change the past, you can change the future. YouTuber [Shu]. Don’t make your senior do anything. Let them go inside. That way, you won’t be mentally drained later.”

That was a message telling her to prepare to die after this is over.

Seo Su-hyun looked at me in surprise.

Knowing that my eyes were sincere, she swallowed hard and took the microphone.

“Chirp. I think it’s already too late…….”

The people in front burst out laughing at that.

It was because Seo Su-hyun said it with a delicious expression and with all her heart.

Seo Su-hyun continued.

“If I apologize, will the future change?”

“I don’t know, but let’s try it once.”

Seo Su-hyun got up and bowed to me.

“Senior! I’m sorry. I want to have a smooth school life. Please let me off the hook just this once.”

At those words, I smiled and said.

“Chirp. We couldn’t change the future. Then have a good college life.”

“Ah, no!”

I finished like that and returned to my seat.

Siha looked at me and said.

“Hyung. Amazing. Words changing!”

He probably meant that my voice changed a lot.

Anyway, I was glad that I satisfied many people.

Now I have to lower my head, take pictures, and run away.

I’m embarrassed after doing it.

***

-A few days later.

The song craze didn’t end.

Siha still played the song every morning and moved along to it.

What’s interesting is that the video of me and Siha was uploaded.

On the condition that our faces were not revealed.

I was still reluctant to show Siha’s face on social media.

I don’t have the confidence to see countless comments.

I don’t like hearing various noises.

I’m also a little worried that someone might recognize Siha.

‘Maybe Siha would like it.’

Maybe this is all my greed.

Maybe I’m making Siha miss out on new opportunities.

But does that opportunity have to be now?

Siha is only three years old and his judgment is still immature.

Even if he nods his head when he’s young, he might hate it when he grows up.

‘Actually, it’s just because I don’t like it.’

Listening to people who don’t know anything talking.

It was something that could be stressful if you hadn’t experienced it.

Actually, as someone who heard people whispering and talking about my mother not being around when I was young, I was a little like that.

At least if my face doesn’t appear in the video, I can think of it separately.

It might sound strange, but the ‘line’ in me was like that.

“Siha, a video has been uploaded.”

“Ah ah.”

“Shall we watch it together?”

“Ah ah!”

Seo Su-hyun first uploaded a video containing only her live performance.

It wasn’t the first song she sang.

I skipped that video and played the next one.

Seo Su-hyun might be upset if she saw it, but I have no intention of listening to it twice.

I already heard it live.

“We’re in this behind-the-scenes video.”

“Behind?”

“Behind-the-scenes.”

“Behind. The scenes.”

“Yes. Behind-the-scenes is like um…. you can think of it as hidden. Like this.”

I brought a tissue in front of me and put it in my pocket.

Siha still asked a question.

“Why?”

“Yes. Because I hid it to show you later. Siha showed Hyung the Bluetooth microphone later, right?”

“Ah ah.”

“It’s the same as that. It’s showing it to surprise you. Ta-da!”

“Ah ah. Ta-da! Video!”

It sounds like a touching video.

But this behind-the-scenes video contains my and Seo Su-hyun’s personal talents, so it might be a touching video to anyone who sees it.

I don’t think that’s wrong?

Is Siha a genius?

I had such silly thoughts and clicked the mouse on the laptop.

Siha sat down in front of me and watched the video.

“Oh! It’s starting.”

But the beginning was strange.

Seo Su-hyun’s first song came out.

‘This…….’

But the focus of the video wasn’t me.

It was Siha and me.

Siha’s voice and my voice.

The scene where I was jealous and gave him a choice between banana milk and a song.

The small sounds were shown with large subtitles to show the conversation.

The comments about it couldn’t hide their delight.

-ㅋㅋㅋHyung is too much.

-Banana milk vs song ㅋㅋㅋ

-Does milk win in the endㅋㅋㅋ

-Only the voice and subtitles come out, but it’s really cuteㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I’m focusing on the conversation sounds rather than the songㅋㅋㅋ

To make a video with this much effort.

It was quite something.

After the conversation ended, the video was edited and the part where everyone sang together came out.

People’s expectations must have risen at Siha’s words to join in.

They probably wanted to see his face.

But Siha’s and my faces, which came out betraying those expectations, were covered with different characters.

-No. Why is the baby’s face a penguin!

-That’s a Pepe emoticon [a popular internet meme] ㅋㅋㅋ Shu, did you get permission from the copyright holder?

-The baby’s hyung is bigger than I thought?

-But why is hyung’s face aㅋㅋㅋ walkie-talkieㅋㅋㅋ

-Walkie-talkie whatㅋㅋㅋ

Seo Su-hyun made my face a walkie-talkie.

I know why, but I felt a little spiteful.

To take revenge like this.

But she edited the video quite well than I thought.

It wasn’t anything special.

You could see Seo Su-hyun’s sense in the choice of those subtitles and the picture covering the face.

But the walkie-talkie was too much!

I wish she had made me a cute Pepe emoticon too.

“Ah ah! Hyung! Siha!”

“Yes. Hyung and Siha are coming out.”

“Pepe!”

“Pepe is coming out too.”

“Hyung. This. What?”

Siha pointed at the walkie-talkie with his hand.

“That’s called a walkie-talkie. It makes a chirp! sound.”

“Chirp?”

“Yes. It’s um. It’s like a phone here.”

“Why? Walkie?”

“Yes? Ah! Why do you use a walkie-talkie instead of a phone?”

What should I say to explain this?

What should I say to make him understand?

It would be better to just say something and move on.

Sometimes you can skip difficult explanations.

“Look at this. It’s very thick, right? Big and bulky?”

“Ah ah.”

“What would happen if a police officer threw this at a bad person?”

“Ah?”

“The bad person would scream and fall down.”

“Ah ah.”

“And you can catch mosquitoes when they’re buzzing around and on the ceiling if you throw it.”

“Ah ah.”

“It’s stronger than the phone here, so that’s why we use a walkie-talkie.”

“Ah ah.”

Yes. I skipped over it with a rough explanation.

The day will come when he knows more about walkie-talkies.

“Oh? Now Hyung is transforming his voice.”

“Ah ah!”

Siha’s attention turned back to the video.

The video ended with a parody of a scene from the drama and Seo Su-hyun’s scream.

It ended with subtitles at the end.

[I dedicate this video to my senior. Please let me have a good college lifeㅠㅠ]

She showed her sense until the end.

The comments were all laughing and going crazy.

-앜ㅋㅋㅋ [Korean slang for laughter]

-That’s not what that drama is likeㅋㅋㅋ

-Senior, you didn’t arrange it, you adapted it into a different genre?ㅋㅋㅋ

-Is that why Hyung’s face is a walkie-talkie?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Ah, I’m really curious about those two’s facesㅋㅋㅋ

I hesitated for a moment and then left a comment.

[Chirp. YouTuber, what on earth happened? The future has changed. For the worse. I think it would be better to take a leave of absence even now.]

After I left a comment, I watched the song video of Siha and Seo Su-hyun.

After a few minutes, my comment was pinned to the top.

Then many replies were posted there.

-Shu: Senior. What kind of future is it that I have to take a leave of absence ㅠㅠㅠ

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Chirp. I think it’s already too late.

-Chirp. My mother says I’ll die if I take a leave of absence.

-Chirp. I think a smooth school life has flown away.

-Chirp. I think I’ll just have to stay home and upload song videos often from now on.

-Chirp. Will you upload cover songs too?

The comments are so fast every time.

I guess they enjoy this.

At that time, Siha grabbed my sleeve.

“Yes? Siha, why?”

“Siha too that.”

“Yes? What?”

Siha started doing something with both hands.
