190 – Aquarium
Today is the day of the club meeting that occurs only once a month.
They usually take pictures of the animals they are raising at home and post them, or share their know-how about raising them.
They say that not gathering too much doesn’t feel like club activities, so we meet face to face and have a cup of coffee once a week.
So, I often chose places where animals were allowed to enter.
This time, there were too many people coming out, so we decided to go to a larger place even though we couldn’t let animals in.
Normally, there were at most 30 people, so there was no major problem.
This time, more than 70 people said they would attend the meeting.
And the most important place.
We decided to meet at a large cafe that had recently opened in front of the school.
So, even though it is the weekend, I am driving my car to the front of the school.
It’s a new place, so the building is clean and the door is clean, so it doesn’t look like a cafe.
“Did you go in first?”
The outside of the cafe is well-tanned, so the inside is hard to see.
That’s why I become cautious about going in because I don’t know how many people are inside.
Ding-dong.
As I opened the door and entered, I was greeted by the sound of a chime announcing that a guest had entered.
At the same time, I hear greetings from part-time workers and the noise of people talking, and I feel like my mind is calming down.
Cafes shouldn’t be this noisy.
“Yoo Seong-hwan! Here!”
Jeonghwan, who joined me, waved his hand.
When I looked there, I saw the club president, vice president, and a member of the club who was famous as a fish breeder sitting there.
Other members were chatting with each other around them.
I simply ordered coffee and a cake and headed to Jeonghwan with a tray.
As I put the tray on the table and sat down on the chair, I saw the club president in front of me.
The president who brought me to the club has graduated and is no longer there, but the current president, who was the vice president, is leading the club well.
In fact, it is better than before.
“Seonghwan, it’s been a while.”
“Hello, Chairman. It’s been a month.”
As I said hello, a member of the breeder club next to me also said hello to me.
If you were greeted, you said it was a personal matter, and you said hello so politely that anyone would think it was polite.
“So? What were you talking about?”
“We were talking about saltwater fish that came into the aquarium.”
“Aquarium? Oh, Jinhee also ran an aquarium.”
Jinhee, a 21-year-old breeder who is the same age as us, runs an aquarium.
She is said to be quite famous among those who raise saltwater fish.
“Seonghwan, aren’t you really interested in fish?”
“Hmm… I’ve received a fish tank and other things before, but it seems like it’s going to be a bit difficult.”
To raise fish, you must first catch them.
Mulfishing is the process of pouring tap water that has been stored for a day into a fish tank, adding water-killing chemicals such as bacteria, and running a filter.
The important thing is that fishing does not end with just one or two days.
Some people say it takes 1 month, some people say it takes 6 months.
In fact, you have to wait endlessly for a catch, not knowing when it will arrive.
Do you think that if I show great interest in fish, I can tolerate it without much greed?
So it just doesn’t work.
“It’s a shame….”
“I’m sad too. I didn’t know it would take so much time to raise fish.”
Then I took a sip of the coffee that was placed on the table.
The sweet and bitter coffee chilled my throat.
“Then how about going to the aquarium?”
“If it’s an aquarium, it’s the one in Redde World.”
“Yes, they said penguins and various fish were added this time.”
It’s difficult to raise fish, but it’s not bad to look at them.
Personally, I like seeing things like sharks or stingrays.
“It wouldn’t be bad…Let’s go on a date…”
“There are a lot of people, will you be okay?”
“Ah… Now that I think about it, there must be a lot of people.”
Once you become a little famous, you automatically become reluctant to go to crowded places.

Even if you wear a mask and sunglasses, people will notice.
“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that. Inside the aquarium, the lights are dark blue, so it’s hard to see the faces of people next to you.”
“Is that so? Then it might be okay as a date…”
It’s a bit funny to receive advice on dating courses after participating in club activities, but
Isn’t this what we are gathering for this kind of conversation?
Personally, I would like to receive good ideas from other people.
“But why are you planning a date for your couple?”
Junghwan asked if we were the opposite of typical couples.
Of course, I don’t talk back with normal words.
Because he is a guy who has harassed me over and over again.
“Junghwan. What is the world like these days…It’s not good to say things like that.”
“Huh? Did I say something strange?”
Junghwan asks back, asking if he did something wrong.
I gave up attacking.
This guy is not someone I can beat.

I was recommended a good place called the aquarium.
As soon as I arrived home, I decided to look up related articles one by one.
“Ah, just because it’s called the Redde World Aquarium doesn’t mean it’s in the Redde World.”
It seems like they are just using it as a franchise-like brand.
It seems to be located in the basement of the Redde Tower right in front of here.
“The place in Haeundae is right in front of the sea… But an aquarium is being built even in the center of a city like this.”
The price is not expensive, and if you walk around slowly, you can see it for about 2 hours.
And various restaurants where you can eat…
“It’s not a bad date course, right? There’s a related course ticket…”
Isn’t it beneficial to go just once when you go out on a date when the time is right, rather than going out every week?
I still don’t know if Ara likes aquariums.
I should go and ask.
In order to take immediate action, I left the master bedroom and headed to the living room.
On the sofa, Playboy Ara was watching TV, holding her little one and her little one in her arms.
That drama is popular these days.
Is it fun?
No, now is not the time to be like this.
We need to quickly ask Ara and come up with a policy.
“Sister, do you like aquariums?”
“Aquarium? Is it in the game?”
“No, not that one.”
I think there’s a place called an aquarium among the maps in Ara’s game recently.
When I told him I wasn’t there, he nodded and smiled.
“When I was young, I often went to the aquarium with my parents. That’s why I like it a lot.”
“I see…Then would you like to go to the aquarium with me this week?”
“Is there an aquarium in Seoul too?”
Ara has a similar reaction to me.
She was also surprised when she said it was in the middle of Seoul.
“I knew about the zoo, but I didn’t know there was an aquarium.”
“It opened 4 years ago. Would you like to go there?”
Four years ago was when Ara and I met.
When I think like that, I somehow feel fate.
“Yes! Of course I have to go! Are you going tomorrow?”
“Yes. Sister, are you taking the day off tomorrow too?”
“hehehe, good timing, there is no filming tomorrow.”
Ara smiled brightly and nodded that she understood.
I should also prepare clothes for tomorrow.

– So? You decided to go to the aquarium?
“Yes, but do you know what kind of fish are there?”
– What are you trying to do with that? It might be on the homepage.
Jeonghwan quickly sent her a homepage address via message.
When I searched the site address, the types of fish and the animals inside came up right away.
Now that I see it, an aquarium doesn’t just have fish, it also has animals like sea otters and penguins.
It’s good because there’s more to see.
“If you study a bit in advance, I can tell you and it’s good.”
– You really know how to be loved by a woman… You’re amazing, really.
“I’m embarrassed.”
Junghwan showers me with compliments for some reason.
I can put up with as much effort as I can for Ara’s enjoyment.
– Ugh…I’m going to help with housework.
“Housework?”
– Mom came out and asked me to help.
“If I’m busy, can I work part-time?”
– What is a daily part-time job? It’s even more bothersome when customers flock to you after working for you.
Junghwan spits out outrageous words that cannot be considered a dutiful son.
Is this what it means to raise a son?
– If there are too many customers, it only bothers me. They don’t give me a single penny…
After finishing the call with Jeonghwan, I put my phone down on the desk.
Then I turned on my laptop, went to the site’s homepage, and started memorizing the names of the fish one by one.
“All I know are cichlids, piranhas… Eels, pararucu… Stingrays?”
I don’t even know what the rest of the fish are.
Not only that, I can’t even remember the name.
This is a truly miserable result.
How should I memorize it by tomorrow…..
It is quite difficult to be a husband who tries to pretend to know his wife in front of her.
Now that things are like this, I have no choice but to stay up all night and memorize.
Let’s give up a good night’s sleep for about a day.
Then, as a husband, you will grow even more.
