179 – Indoor Hot Spring (2)
“Umm…”
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s a little different from what I thought.”
I was looking for a hotel famous for its hot springs in Korea, and it was very different from what I expected.
I thought it would be somewhat similar, even if it wasn’t Japanese ryokan style, but I never thought there would be this much difference.
“What did you search for?”
“I searched for hot spring hotel.”
When searching for hot spring hotels, the only ones that come up are places that have been in operation for a long time and are outdated, and places like water parks that can be enjoyed like a swimming pool even in winter.
This is not the place I wanted.
To put it in detail, it didn’t look much different from a large public bathhouse.
A bathhouse with hot and cold baths, and a special bath called herbal bath.
“Shouldn’t we search like that?”
“Then?’
“Give me a moment.”
Ara held out her hands and asked for it, so she held out her cell phone.
Ara took my cell phone and searched Google for a site where hotel information could be found with her small hands.
That site was also the one I used when I went to Ganghwado Island.
“Nothing will come out of there either.”
“Wait a minute.”
As she searched around, Ara began to worry a little about not being able to think of the search term she wanted.
It was as if he was recalling something he had heard from someone before.
Did you try to find a ryokan-style hotel other than me?
Come to think of it, Yeji said she booked a flight to Japan after seeing our photo.
“Look at this. Isn’t this the feeling you were looking for?”
“Oh, it’s true.”
When I looked at the screen of Ara’s cell phone, I saw a list of lodging establishments that had the type of bathhouse I wanted.
But… I don’t think this is a hot spring?
“What if it’s not a hot spring? Seonghwan is my sister, and anywhere is good if we’re together, right?”
“Sister…”
Look.
How can I just patiently tolerate something like that?
Everyone will feel the desire to step forward and do something first.
“Plus, it’s a pension, so you can easily take Little and Little.”
When Ara heard her name, Komulgi, who was lying next to her, jumped up and sat on Ara’s lap.
She tilts her head on the soggy floor, waiting for what to say.
If I go to the pension, I will have to give Jjomul her first bath.
It gradually grew to a certain extent.
There is no strange smell and there is still only a slight smell.
It is time to get used to hot water.
If you don’t get used to it now, it will try to avoid water for the rest of its life.
Even if dirt gets in my eyes, I won’t see it like that!!
“Then… Where should I make a reservation?”
“Should my sister choose?”
“Yes, it would be nice to have a place where my sister can rest well.”
It doesn’t matter where I go, but it’s important to Ara who goes to rest.
People are greatly influenced by the environment when they rest.
He searched while tapping his phone with his finger, and showed me two good places.
Perhaps because the businesses are located next to each other, the location was the same, but the feel was divided into modern and natural styles.
“I think you’d rather be on the right, right?”
“Oh, this place is really similar to the place I stopped by in Yufuin before.”
“Really? I guess it feels that way more because I’m in the mountains.”
.
The place we visited in Yufuin before was a hot spring located in the mountains and surrounded by nature.
The place Ara visited this time had a similar feeling.
If there is something a little different, Yufuin is an open-air bath that is closed on all sides.
The pension that Ara chose is open on all sides, so it has a sense of openness.
But… Looking at it now, it seems quite far away.
It’s not a place you can’t visit, but you’ll need 3 days and 2 nights to rest comfortably.
“Hmm… If this is the case, I guess I’ll have to stay for about two days?”
Ara must have figured that out, too, as she looked at me and asked if I was okay.
Of course, I nodded to indicate that it was okay.
“I’m fine.”
“Aren’t there classes?”
“It’s okay for a day or two. I’ve never missed class.”
It must be really absurd for her to openly declare in front of her wife that she will skip school.
Still, I can give up that attendance score for Ara’s sake.
I’m not aiming for the chief position.
“Our Seonghwan knows how to have fun too, right?”
“Hmm… I’m missing out just this once.”
“Really? Aren’t you going to skip school without my sister’s knowledge and go out to play?”
Her tone seemed to be scolding her for not being able to use it, but her face was smiling brightly.
Even though she likes it, she is trying to change the subject by saying something else.
That’s why it’s so cute.
She doesn’t even notice that she’s cute.
“I’ll have to ask Jeonghwan and Minho next time I see them.”
“Oh, by the way… Then would you like to make a bet with me?”
“Bet?”
Ara tilts her head at the sudden suggestion of a bet.
I had never missed school because I wanted to have fun, so I confidently proposed the bet.
Is it because I come out too confidently?
Ara scratched her head a little, then subtly lifted the girl she was sitting on to try to distract her.
“Uchjuchwi, do you want to eat sometime?”
“Sister?”
“Seo…Seonghwan, sit here and rest. My sister will come back and feed the piglet.”
“It’s not time to feed you yet…”
I smiled bitterly as I watched him hurriedly run to the kitchen.
Kkomulgi is barking happily after being given food again and is following Ara.
Only me and Jjomul were quietly watching the scene in the living room.
***
Time flies late before I go out to play, but for some reason, time flies so quickly that it’s already Friday.
It’s a long way, but our goal is to leave this evening and arrive by tomorrow morning.
Because it is a pension, there is no set check-in time, so I informed the owner that I would arrive early.
“You little bastard, let’s go in.”
“Woof!”
The squirrels and snails entered and sat in a cage that was large enough to accommodate five snails.
Perhaps because they are still fluffy baby puppies, they have the advantage of being easy to carry around since only one cage is sufficient.
Because he’s sitting like this, he’s like a doll.
I still have time before I leave, so I should put it on the table and look around some more.
“That’s right. I guess I should pack some cans of feed and Caesar.”
Because I will be away from home for two days, I need to prepare dog food.
Even if you go there because it’s a pension, there’s no food or anything else, so you have to buy everything in advance…
You could secretly say that this is a disadvantage.
You can have fun without paying attention, but there is so much that you have to do.
Of course, cooking utensils and grills are all provided as standard.
If you were told to prepare even that, you would just stay at home and no one would go to the pension.
“Sister~ Have you finished preparing?”
“Wait a minute! Not yet!”
I wonder if my wife is doing that to take something from earlier.
Didn’t you pack all your clothes and towels yesterday?

“Sure, you little bastard, what is mom doing?”
“Woof!”
“Uh huh, you can’t go out though.”
“Kkiing…”
I tried to run out because the door wasn’t locked, but they stopped me from leaving.
Not long ago, there was an incident where Kkomul surprised Ara and the tablet PC she was holding was completely destroyed.
It’s not that a broken tablet PC is a waste, it’s that if you’re holding something heavy for no reason and you get startled and drop it,
Isn’t it possible that our small fish right below could be hit by a direct hit?
That’s what I’m most scared of.
So, she does not want to let Ara in when she is taking care of something.
It was only after a while that Ara appeared to us waiting in the kitchen.
She was carrying her heavy bag slung over her shoulder.
“That’s….”
“hehehe, I’m going to go to the pension and give it a try. Can’t I?”
“Nothing can’t be done. Just for a little while…”
You probably want to show off to other people.
Or maybe it’s to communicate with fans.
“Then let’s go quickly.”
“Yes! Should Keiji come in?”
“No, I will listen.”
What are you trying to lift with that heavy-looking bag?
Your manners and consideration for men are admirable.
“What car are you going to take?”
“Since we’re going to the mountains, let’s leave Shiron behind, right?”
“Ugh…I wanted to ride the Shiron.”
For your information, Ara’s car’s nickname was decided to be Siron.
The nicknames I had chosen, such as Bbangppang or Vroom, were rejected.
“I can’t take Siron because I have to buy a cage and food anyway.”
“Oh, that’s true too.”
The Bugatti Chiron has a trunk of less than 50 liters.
And since there is no back seat, you won’t be able to carry the dog’s cage in, let alone put it down.
Ara, who had been feeling regretful all along, seemed to be convinced and lifted the cage and began to smile.
“Did you get everything?”
“I took everything too.”
“Then let’s go!”
She then raised her hands and started showing off something of hers.
What she was holding was clearly my car keys that had been placed on the table.
Ara likes to drive, so when her family goes out, they don’t have much time to drive.
On the one hand, there are times when she feels comfortable, but on the other hand, her husband feels sorry.
