79 – Fishing Cafe
“Hmm.. What should I leave out and what should I add..”
“Let’s leave out the cartoon cafe…”
“Hmm.. I’ve been going there too often lately, haven’t I?”
Last week, even though I had nothing to do, I went to a comic cafe two days in a row.
Of course, you can say that reading the comic was fun and had a worthwhile time.
I was slowly starting to get bored.
Going to a comic cafe once or twice a month is enough.
So, the worries that Ara and she are desperately struggling with are no different.
I was worried about the dating course.
Every time, Ara is simple and close to the standard: cafe -＞ Movie theater -＞ Park.
I have been insisting on a date course.
Recently, I started by stopping by a cartoon cafe and ended up stopping by the same places in endless succession.
There was talk about having a date in an unusual place.
“When it comes to famous date courses, there’s fishing… Escape rooms… And a gold panning cafe…”
From the mouth of Ara, who began to spit out various unique date courses one by one.
The word fishing appeared.
Fishing is a hobby that can be said to be exclusive to women, and it has a more negative reputation than you might think.
The equipment is expensive, and once you leave the house, you don’t want to come back.
It seems that it is also on the list of female hobbies that men dislike.
But, I don’t hate it that much.
Rather, I think it is a healthy and fun hobby if enjoyed in moderation.
“Fishing looks like fun.”
As I responded to fishing, Ara’s face began to brighten.
Now that I think about it, she once appeared on a program called ‘Country Fisherman’.
“Really? There are places for real fishing, and there is also screen fishing.”
When I showed interest in fishing, Ara started talking about various things. She brought
Her laptop and she started searching things.
It looks like he wants to go on a fishing date.
“But, in order to fish, don’t you need equipment and go out to sea?”
“The place my sister wants to go is not the beach, but a fishing cafe.”
“Is there a place like that?”
“It’s convenient to think of it as an indoor fishing spot.”
“Ah.”
When I heard it was a fishing cafe, I wondered if it had anything like that.
It is said to be an indoor fishing site, so I think you can understand it at once.
Fishing in the city…
“What do you think? Do you want to go?”
There was no way I could refuse the invitation from Ara, whose eyes sparkled with anticipation.
She nodded appropriately.
“It might not be bad. But I don’t know how to fish.”
The problem is that I don’t know anything about fishing.
I have never even held a fishing rod, let alone gone fishing.
It is also a hobby that requires a lot of physical strength.
Growing up in an orphanage, the only fishing rod I could touch was
The only thing I have is a magnetic fishing rod, which was a common toy when I was young.
“Didn’t my sister tell me not to worry about such things? She knows how to handle most things.”
At the same time, Ara knocked on her big heart.
She is a dependable and trustworthy wife.
Ara patted my head and said there was no need or reason to worry.
She jumped up and stretched her legs.
“So tomorrow’s date course is confirmed to be fishing?”
“You’re not just going to go fishing, are you?”
Because Ara is about to see her end when she falls for one.
She needs to say something in advance.
There are times when she is cute and lovely that way, but there are also times when I want to smack her ass.
“It’s… Of course… Right…?”
“…..”
If I hadn’t said anything, I would have spent all day tomorrow at the fishing spot.
That’s no longer a ‘date’, it’s just going ‘fishing’.

“The price is quite high..”
“If you find out what’s in there, won’t you say something like that?”
First, I paid a total of 90,000 won for 4 hours each.
The fishing cafe took up the entire floor of a large building and was very spacious.
There were several bathtubs for fishing, and it was quite impressive to see various food items being sold on one side.
It looks like they also sell alcohol like beer.
The atmosphere was dark, but the floor was illuminated with LED lights.
Fishing is just fishing, but with soft background music, lighting, and even the sound of water…
I think I understand why it is recommended as a date course.
“Look at this, this.”
Where Ara held my hand and headed
It was the largest bathtub in this fishing cafe.
Something like a UV lamp is turned on in the air, and creatures swimming in the bathtub
It was clearly visible.
“Wow, there are all sorts of things… Huh?”
And, I don’t know why it’s there.
A huge amount of lobsters were either sinking beneath the water or swimming fluttering about.
“Did you see? That’s the specialty of this indoor fishing spot.”
“Can you catch that… With a fishing rod?”
“They said it was easier to catch than expected.”
Then, Ara began to gain her appetite again.
I guess I want to eat lobster.
“Then what do you want to do first?”
“Let’s catch the fish first. Try the lobster later.”
“Then let’s go over there.”
Once again, the place where Ara was led by her hand was a bathtub where there were more people than other places.
She sat down in a suitable place and waited for Ara, and Ara brought various items and handed them to me.
“Make sure to wear an apron and toss, and her gloves.”
“What about this towel?”
“Take care of it because water might splash.”
I wore safety gear that seemed a bit large.
Now that I look at it, I see that everyone else is doing the same thing.
It seems to be an item that must be worn.
“And this is the fishing rod.”
I accepted the fishing rod that Ara gave me.
I was momentarily taken aback because the shape was different from the fishing rod I had pictured in my head.
“It’s short and simple because there’s no need to throw it far at an indoor fishing spot.”
“Now that I think about it, there’s no such thing as a reel.”
“Really? It’s light and thin, so it’s called a whipping stick because it resembles a whip.”
The memories of going to catch crabs at the orphanage some time ago began to come back to me.
Even back then, they would put pork belly on something like a pole and put it in a crevice in a stone.
I caught a stone crab…
Or, she used something that looked like a thread rolled up like a spool of thread.
“And this is a float.”
“This is exactly what I thought.”
Although it was a little small, it was enough to be used to scoop up fish that came right in front of us.
It was also light in weight.
“Is it over now?”
“Yes, now I’ll teach you how to prepare.”
“Ready?”
“Do you see the fishing hook? Tie it to the line…”
Ara said he would teach me, but he did everything himself, including tying the fishing hook and attaching the pole.
My wife, who likes to take care of me, has used her skill again.
“There are a lot of flatfish and rockfish here… Straight hook size 4… Bongdol is size 6.”
I don’t know what it is, but Ara seemed happy as she explained it diligently.
Is fishing something I wanted to do more than racing games or collecting cards?
Anyway, I was taking my fishing rod with me.
There is no way to practice while watching what is being taught.
“If this is the case, there’s nothing I can do?”
I looked at Ara with a bitter smile, and saw that she was scratching her head, saying she had forgotten.
Then, she started to look a little sorry.
“Yeah…That’s right…”
“It’s just a joke. It’s nice and convenient because my older sister does everything.”
“hehehe… That’s nice of you to say that.”
Because Ara really likes to rely on herself.
She smiled and gave a compliment that was not a compliment.
And when I lightly stroked her head, Ara smiled brightly.
“But please teach me how to bait.”
“Okay! Can you see this round rice cake? Just put it here…”
Phew!
Just put a round dumpling-like piece of rice cake on the needle and
I threw it into the bathtub next to me.

“The end!”
“The end?”
“The end!!”
Then, Ara stuck her head out to pat her head.
I quietly stroked her head.
“Well, it doesn’t matter if you go out to the sea or fresh water, there’s nothing special about a fishing cafe, right? You don’t have to think too hard about it.”
“Can you catch fish with this round one?”
“Even if it’s worse than an earthworm, it’s good enough for a fishing cafe.”
And was the pat on the head satisfying?
Ara, sitting on the soft sofa chair, began to look at her water.
“Seonghwan. Hurry up and sit down.”
“Like this?”
I immaturely threw the fishing hook into the water and sat down next to her.
Then, she turned her eyes to where Ara was staring at her from earlier.
She started staring in that direction.
“Don’t you think he’s going to bite?”
“That’s right, keep touching me…!”
Ara lifted and lowered herself with one hand.
She suddenly raised her fishing rod high.
What did they say about this?
Did you say it was a championship?
“Seonghwan! Give me the landing net!”
“Hey…Here…”
It hasn’t been long since she was put in the water, but she has already caught one fish.
She fished the fish out.
And she put her hands towards her gills to prevent them from being bitten.
I used an object that looked like nippers to remove the hook that the fish had bitten.
To prevent them from escaping, she placed the fish in the net provided at each spot.
“Sister, isn’t this your first time fishing?”
“Huh? Before I came up to Seoul, I went freshwater fishing a lot with Hwayoung and other friends.”
“Before I became an idol?”
“It was fun back then… I wonder how everyone is doing…”
As Ara began to reminisce about her past, drool began to slightly drip from her mouth.
I took her handkerchief out of her pocket, wiped off the drool, and tapped Ara on the shoulder.
It seems that she is recalling her memories of making and eating maeuntang using the fish she caught.
