Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 94

Hyung, Am I Cute? 94

Inside the box, I saw lollipop sticks, a letter card, and bubble wrap.

First, I took out the card, and it read:

[The fact that a candy has been delivered to you probably means the time has come.

Use this candy to see if the child follows a stranger.

As written in the notice, Siha’s turn is the day after tomorrow.

Let’s see if the education has been effective.]

I chuckled and looked at the teacher.

Of course.

This was all planned by the teacher.

As written in the notice, the education about not following strangers was supposed to be tomorrow.

Removing the bubble wrap, I saw clothes and a wig for disguise inside.

I thought the box was a bit big for some reason.

“Hyung?”

“Yeah?”

“What’s that?”

“It’s nothing. Hyung ordered it, but it must have been delivered to the daycare. Okay, Siha. Hyung’s leaving.”

“Ah, bye-bye.”

After parting with Siha, I immediately got into the car.

I had forgotten that this was written in the notice.

Because I’ve been having so much fun and busy days lately.

‘Hmm. The day after tomorrow…….’

First, I had to tempt Siha while taking advantage of the teacher’s absence at the time of pick-up.

Of course, the teacher wasn’t really absent.

‘Should I look at the clothes in the box first?’

I had to disguise myself to deceive the other party.

The clothes, wig, glasses, and beard that the teacher gave me.

I didn’t think they would be fooled by this.

Other kids might be fooled by covering their faces.

But Siha wouldn’t be.

What is the most important thing in drawing?

Drawing style? Line? Color sense? Creativity?

None of them.

It’s ‘observation,’ the most basic of the basics.

That means Siha’s observation skills are extraordinary.

Of course, it might all be my imagination, but I want to deceive him properly if possible.

‘I should get some consultation first?’

I need to ask for help from transformation experts.

I picked up my phone and called Alisa.

After a few rings, Alisa answered the phone right away.

“Hello.”

“Hello. Alisa, it’s Si-hyuk.”

“Yes. What’s the matter?”

“Actually, I’m trying to transform, but I don’t have enough clothes.”

“Are you trying to change your style drastically?”

“No. I have to disguise myself. I have to approach Siha as a stranger. It’s also for education.”

“Ah, I see. Do you have any transformation you want?”

I have something in mind.

To not get caught, I have to change my body shape first.

I can’t do anything about the height, so I have to put on some weight.

“First of all, I’d like someone with a belly.”

“Okay. I got it. I happen to be in a theater club. I can bring a fake belly for disguise from there. What about clothes?”

“I have a free-size outfit that I received, but would you like to see it?”

“Sure. Let’s not just talk on the phone and take a look. We have to work on the face too.”

I made an appointment and drove to Alisa.

***

Arriving at a clothing store near Daehakro [a district in Seoul known for its youthful atmosphere and street performances], I looked around.

Then, the door of the clothing store opened, and Alisa waved her hand and approached.

“You came quickly?”

“It’s right in front of me. What.”

“Shall we go in then?”

“Huh? Here?”

“Yes. This is where I work these days.”

“You work at a clothing store?”

Alisa nodded.

I couldn’t help but think it was strange.

I wondered if it was okay for her to help me like this while she was working.

Alisa said.

“I’m very close to the owner here, so it’s okay. And people don’t come at this time.”

“Ah…….”

“And there are more things sold online than in the store.”

“That’s true.”

It’s the internet age these days.

It was true that favorite clothes were sold better online.

Of course, there are many people who try them on and buy them.

“Shall we look at some clothes then?”

“Yes. Here.”

I showed her the clothes in the box.

It was free size, but it was big enough to do old-school hip-hop.

It seems like they deliberately avoided tight-fitting clothes.

“This would be good to wear with a fake belly. Kids will be fooled by that alone. The problem is the face…….”

Alisa looked at my face from side to side.

“Let’s transform with makeup first.”

“Do you have face fat too?”

“I don’t have face fat, but I can make it look like it with optical illusion. First, let’s attach the wig to the cheeks so that the face line is not visible. Hmm. Let’s use a wig with a perm instead of this wig. Then the face will look a little fuller.”

It’s surprisingly serious.

Since I said let’s try it out, she dragged me here and put makeup on me.

She lifted the forehead area with something like tape to make the eyes bigger, put on a wig, and put on makeup.

“Wow! It’s a completely different person?”

The skin tone changed to dark, and the face was also very difficult to recognize.

When I put on glasses without lenses and a beard, the original face was gone.

They say makeup is magic these days…….

This was a scam.

It wasn’t a magic to become prettier, though.

With this, not only Siha but also the teacher wouldn’t recognize me for sure.

Now, I only need to meet one condition, and I have to ask about it when I get home.

“Thank you, Alisa. I’ll ask you for a favor like this the day after tomorrow.”

“Hehe. Are you going to get away with just words? Aren’t Koreans from the Land of Courtesy?”

“Where did you hear that? Okay. I’ll buy you lunch today. How about it?”

“Then buy me something delicious. Pfft. But now erase your face. It’s really funny.”

I scratched my head and erased the disguise.

It was my first time using a makeup cotton pad, and it felt strange.

Alisa hummed and asked.

“Ah! I told you how to become a Korean last time, right? It’s really like that, isn’t it?”

I chuckled.

“I told you.”

“Then, is there anything else? Like, you’ve naturally become a Korean.”

“Of course, there are many.”

I thought for a moment.

It was easy to hear ‘You’ve become a Korean.’

Because you just have to follow what Koreans do now.

But Alisa still doesn’t know much.

She certainly speaks Korean well, but…….

“First, you have to press the elevator close button three or four times.”

“Huh? You don’t just press it once?”

“I don’t know. Strangely, I’m pressing it three or four times.”

Why is that really?

It’s not just me, I’ve seen other people do it too.

You only need to press it once, but you’re hitting it repeatedly.

Could it be that the habit of hitting arcade game machines repeatedly as a child remains?

Or is it because the Korean style of hurry-hurry [a cultural tendency to rush and prioritize speed] is ingrained in the body?

“And is there anything else?”

“You get up and stand in front in advance before the bus stops.”

“You can get up after it stops, right?”

“Then it’s a little late…….”

“Well, everyone does that. I agree! Then what else is there?”

“You probably know what Alisa knows, right?”

“I don’t know much, surprisingly.”

I pondered and looked at the makeup cotton pad in my hand.

“Ah! If a friend asks you to pull out a tissue at a restaurant, you pull out two or three.”
