Episode 169
“What does ‘hokkomman 20seoge’ mean?”
The phrase “Honjeo Opseoye” is one of the more famous Jeju dialects.
It has also been introduced through various video media.
But the dialect that came up in the next question was something I had never heard before in my life.
“Oh, just Hokkomman?”
“What is that?”
“Siyoon’s tongue―, Siyoon, do you know this?”
Heo Yu-bin, who barely managed to stop himself from tackling Hyung, looked at Kang Si-yoon, who had solved the first problem, with hopeful eyes.
However, Kang Si-yoon also shook his head while touching his forehead.
“I didn’t see anything like that in the Jeju Island vlogs I watched.”
“Guys, let’s put our heads together and discuss this. You said the answer is in the problem, right?”
Chae Eun-gyu tried to utilize the power of collective intelligence, but Manager Hyung quickly stopped him by imposing a time limit.
“Okay, there are 10 seconds left! Anyone can guess, so try quickly.”
“Uh, what should I do?”
“In times like this!”
While everyone was panicking about what to do, Kang Si-yoon suddenly turned his head and grabbed my shoulder.
“Do it, Charisma!”
“What, all of a sudden?”
“Hurry up! You’re really good at these things! I want to eat mackerel!”
Perhaps it’s because of the quiz-solving skills he showed in .
Of course, I was confident in guessing people or proverbs, but I had no confidence in guessing a dialect that I was seeing for the first time in my life… … .
‘for a moment.’
A fact that I had momentarily forgotten came to mind.
The ‘Foreign Language Magician’ skill was said to clearly increase your understanding of all languages.
Of course, Korean will be included in all languages.
Jeju dialect also belongs to the Korean language.
‘Just a little. Just a little… … .’
As I continued to repeat the words, something began to form in my head.
Since it is clear that the answer is in the question, it must have something to do with pronunciation.
If you think about it as much as possible, paying attention to consonants and vowels… … .
“5, 4, 3!”
As the countdown began, I raised my hand and said the correct answer.
“Can you please wait a moment?”
“Even if you ask me like that, I don’t think I’ll be able to give you more time―?”
“What do you mean, Siyoon?”
“huh?”
I said again with a calm face.
“This is the correct answer. Please wait a moment.”
“Hey, hey. It wasn’t for nothing that Siyoon asked me to do this. Correct answer!”
Manager Hyung looked genuinely impressed.
The members who were temporarily stunned cheered loudly when they heard that their answer was correct.
“Charis, you’re really awesome! How did you know!”
“You said the answer is in the question, so I thought about what words have similar pronunciations―.”
“Take out your passport again. Is it forged? Are you Korean?”
“How on earth am I Korean―.”
“Brother Charis―, wow! Charis, you’re amazing!”
Yumin Ha, who had developed a habit of calling his name “hyung”, succeeded in maintaining his informality by momentarily slapping his own cheek.
These are members who truly try to maintain the concept with the spirit of a true saint.
“Oh, it would be dangerous if Charis gets all the answers right. From now on, a friend other than Charis has to answer the next question.”
“This is too much, teacher!”
“That’s right! We’re a team!”
“You’re blocking teamwork, this is oppression!”
The members immediately protested, but Manager Hyung had no idea.
As a result, the members, excluding me, took turns trying to guess the Jeju dialect.
A flood of truly bizarre incorrect answers poured out.
“Dorman… …? Are you saying that you’re going to hit Dorman?”
“Is it a thorn, is it a thorn? It’s not a thorn, is it? It can’t be a fish bone.”
“Are you sick? … … Is something swollen?”
Perhaps because I thought I got too many right in the beginning, the difficulty of the problems that followed was beyond my imagination.
We were miserably destroyed by the feast of dialects that could not be inferred even with similar pronunciations.
Still, perhaps because the effort was worth it, the production team decided to let us eat some silver hairtail as a special treat.
“The hairtail looks delicious!”
“I would have been a little sad if I had come all the way to Jeju Island and not eaten silver hairtail.”
Among the members who said it was fortunate, Ji Yoon-cheol alone had some doubts.
“… … You didn’t make a restaurant reservation from the beginning, did you… … right?”
“Shh. In times like this, you should just pretend you don’t know and move on, Yoon-cheol.”
“……okay.”
Ji Yoon-cheol let out a sigh of pain and barely managed to answer me informally.
Normally, when this kind of palm time content comes out, the youngest ones get the most excited and tend to tease their older brothers, but Celeste has a slightly different vibe.
The eldest brother is confused and the youngest is also confused.
Meanwhile, the bus was getting closer and closer to Seongsan Ilchulbong.
A sparkling beach under a sunny sky.
A green island rising above the sea.
Everyone was quietly amazed by the beautiful nature they had seen for the first time in a long time.
“It’s a good thing the weather is nice today. If it had been cloudy, it wouldn’t have been this pretty.”
“Do you see those people walking up there?”
“Surely we’re not going to walk all the way up there… … ?”
From afar, I saw people climbing the stairs to Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak.
Everyone started to worry about whether we should go on a group hike, but luckily, our manager said there was no time for that.
“Our schedule is super tight, we don’t have time to hike up there, we’ll just take a group photo, look around a bit, and then go have lunch.”
“Oops, I’m not going hiking!”
“I wanted to do it.”
“Then, let’s have Eun-gyu go hiking alone and go eat some hairtail.”
Kang Si-yoon teased his eldest brother nonstop.
Chae Eun-gyu, who had now adapted to some extent, made a grim prediction with a calm smile.
But that wasn’t enough to stop Kang Si-yoon.
“Siyoon, I’ll see you later tonight. You need to hit me with a pillow to come to your senses, right?”
“Oh, is it really that scary?”
“Why do I get annoyed just by looking at it?”
I thought there would be quite a lot of people looking for Seongsan Ilchulbong on a sunny day, but fortunately I chose a good time because it felt quiet even from near the parking lot.
“Okay, if you all walk forward, there’s a wide plain. We’re going to take a group photo there, so make sure your hair is in order!”
It was a bit of a walk to the place the manager mentioned.
“The air is so good!”
“Do I feel like I’m on vacation now?”
We walked slowly, enjoying the cool breeze.
If you just forget about the dozens of cameras following you around, it really feels like you’re on a trip with just a bunch of students in their school uniforms.
“Oh, but it shouldn’t be this windy.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Isn’t it cool and nice?”
“No, that’s true.”
Song Hyeong-bin and Yoo Min-ha questioned Kang Si-yoon’s words, but soon realized the reason with their whole bodies.
“Okay, I’ll take a picture! One, two―”
“Wait a minute, wait a minute! Teacher! Absolutely not now!”
“It’s so windy!”
“I can’t open my eyes—!”
“… …Your head is hitting me right now.”
The spacious plateau had beautiful scenery and fresh air.
But the cool wind of Jeju Island blowing from all angles came back to us as poison.
In order to take a good picture, I had to somehow control my hair flying everywhere, which was virtually impossible.
“Ahhh! Yubin, your head is a mess right now!”
“Ah, ah, my bangs keep flipping over!”
“Oh, please. I look ugly with my bangs up.”
“Just let everything go and be at ease like me.”
Heo Yu-bin and Song Hyeong-bin tried to look at the camera while somehow holding down their bangs.
But when the bangs were pressed, a strong wind caused the side hairs to stand up comically.
Kang Si-yoon looked at the two members who were continuing their difficult fight with kind eyes.
Half-giving up on the prospect of your own head rising up like a lion’s mane.
“Hehe, that’s funny! How about everyone wearing their hair like this on a regular basis?”
“That really won’t do!”
“Don’t say such horrible things, Min-ha!”
In the midst of chaos, Yu Min-ha alone smiled brightly without any worries.
It seems like he doesn’t care at all whether his bangs are blown or not.
Looking at my younger brother like that, I said calmly.
“Min-ha looks good with her hair no matter what.”
“Charis, you shouldn’t say that! Even with your head shaved, you’d still be the most handsome.”
At Yu Min-ha’s words, everyone’s attention turned to me.
Heo Yu-bin, who was still holding his bangs tightly, shouted in a resentful tone.
“The real world is unfair! Why, Charis hyung, no, Charis is handsome even with his hair like that.”
“Hey, Charis, how about you cut your bangs for your next comeback?”
“I’ve already passed halfway through it.”
“Don’t be shy. I think it would look cool even if you just shaved it like this.”
“If Siyoon joins, I’ll do it too.”
“Oh, that’s a bit.”
While we were making noise and creating content among ourselves, Manager Hyung stood there waiting miserably.
“Hey guys? So when are you going to take the pictures?”
“I’ll take the picture now!”
“Oh, I don’t know! I just want to take a picture with my bangs flying!”
“Yeah, the group photo from the math trip wasn’t supposed to turn out well, that’s what makes it fun!”
After many twists and turns, I succeeded in taking a photo of the ‘national rule’ of the school trip in front of Seongsan Ilchulbong.
We tried to take pictures of each other’s lives during the remaining free time.
“Shouldn’t we go somewhere with less wind?”
“But if you want to get a pretty picture of Seongsan Sunrise Peak, you have no choice but to take it in a place like this.”
“No, just trust me, Hyungbin. I’ll take a picture of it accurately when there’s no wind.”
“Well, I don’t quite believe it.”
While Song Hyeong-bin posed, we all waited with our phones in hand.
For that perfect moment when the wind doesn’t touch his hair.
But unfortunately, Jeju Island was not that easy.
“… … How long do I have to go on like this?”
“Hyungbin, I’m sorry, but can’t we just take a random picture?”
“You said to trust only me, Kang Si-yoon!”
“Hehe, sorry.”
Despite what he said, Kang Si-yoon showed off his amazing photography skills and took pictures of each member.
Now it’s his turn.
“I like anyone, so just vote for me except Charis.”
“Can’t you take a picture of Charis?”
“He can’t take a picture of anything but his own face.”
“This is too much, Siyoon.”
I guess the fact that I took the wrong picture of Kang Si-yoon several times was etched strongly in my mind.
But if we just stay still, we’re not friends.
I ignored Kang Si-yoon’s request and silently took a picture with my cell phone.
The other members who were watching this scene seized the opportunity to take revenge on Kang Si-yoon who always teased them.
Among them, Chae Eun-gyu, who had been particularly targeted, spoke to his younger siblings with an evil smile.
“Guys, put your cameras away. Let’s just take a picture of Charis.”
Then Song Hyeong-bin also intervened in an astonishing manner.
“If there are any pictures that Siyoon took, you have to delete them all, okay?”
“No, wait a minute, those guys―”
“Siyoon, you shouldn’t move. Your face is appearing like a ghost photograph.”
“Take a good picture of me too!”
“I’m trying my best.”
