Chapter 171 – Chapter 171
[☆Ticket price☆]
[Aquarium/adults and youth 33,000 won/children and seniors 29,000 won]
[When participating in a paid program, you must pay separately from the admission ticket fee. Please refer to the detailed information for each program.]
“Yes, three adults and two children will go in. Have a good time.”
It’s a price that transcends imagination at any time, but nevertheless, parents with children seemed to hear it all at least once every time they came to the sea.
“People are really messy. Was the aquarium originally this popular?”
“They come because the kids like them. There are not that many adults who visit the aquarium because they really like it. These days, you can just watch it on You Tube.”
“Yes, they are all parents.”
The reason why parents bring their children to the aquarium even if they pay a lot of money is simple.
“Whoaaaaa!”
“Wow!”
Miho and Noah are also amused at first, but despite their second visit, they admire the grandeur of the aquarium and look at the fish as if they were their first visit.
“Beluga, Beluga!”
“Sister, there are sea lions over there.”
“Kyaaaaang!”
[Beluga]
[Beluga, as white as snow, means ‘white’ in Russian. It has a dark gray color at birth, but as it grows older…]
But to be honest, even for an adult, it’s amazing when you enter and walk around. If there’s one thing different from children, it’s that they get bored quickly.
“Guys, there are a lot of people, so if you go around like that, you might end up lost.”
Or you might run into some big-headed boys when you see them screaming and running all over the place.
But, you may not have to worry about that now.
“What is so strange about it? They are all the same fish.”
“Isn’t Yerang’s emotions dry?”
“What, bitch?!”
Seonwoo Yerang hold Miho’s hand tightly.
“It’s really amazing.”
“Noah thinks so too.”
Watching Nayoung hold Noah’s hand… It didn’t seem like I needed to walk around with two children in my arms like I used to.
Conversely, since I am now lonely, I might be more disappointed that I can watch the fish leisurely with my hands behind my back.
‘Well, this must be an ordinary family.’
Maybe if I had a mother from the start, I wouldn’t have to constantly look after my children. It’s just that I had to play both the roles of mom and dad.
“Kyaaaaa Come on!”
“A stingray, a stingray!”
When I walked a little further to the central center, a tube with a variety of fishes on display appeared.
There were even sharks in it.
“Kyaaaaah!”
When the shark got any closer, everyone screamed and loved it. Should it even be hammer-shaped?
What kind of shark is this called?
“That’s what a hammerhead is. Can you see the eyes on both sides?”
“Oh, you look gross, brother.”
Just in time, a couple who showed affection in front of me gave me an explanation. By the way, is it okay to release a shark into an aquarium with other fish like this?
“Now that the keepers usually feed them sardines, and the sharks themselves naturally hunt at night, they seem calm now.”
“Aha, that was it~ Thank you.”
“Yes?”
“Oh, no. It’s nothing. Have a good time.”
I thanked you for explaining as if I had heard the sound of my heart without even realizing it. While touring the aquarium like that, Miho and Noah, who were at first curious, hardened their expressions for a moment.
“What’s the matter?”
Seeing that, I approached and asked, and the children said.
“Tonnu, it seems that the sharks are in pain for some reason.”
“Noah felt that way too.”
“Okay?”
“Look at that!”
“Puck!”
“Kyaahhhhh! The shark just hit the wall!”
Of course, it wasn’t a full-on headbutt, the shark seemed to have accidentally bumped into a wall while swimming. Looking at the shark Miho pointed out, that is, the hammerhead I had just heard about, it looked like it had a lot of scars on its eyes.
‘You saw that?’
Oh, it was an elf.
Convinced by myself, I cautiously looked at the person who had been explaining about sharks.
Then, as expected, he is a man who explains to his girlfriend his as if he had been waiting.
“That’s because the hammerhead’s eyes run to the side, and I can’t see this wall well. Besides that, sharks are now under a lot of stress in this confined space, so their health deteriorates faster than when they lived in the wild, and they die quickly.”
“Hey, what about the dead shark?”
“Now, what are you going to keep separately at the aquarium and hand it over to an institution that can conduct experiments? Sharks are sold at a high price even if they die.”
“Aww, that’s too cruel…”
This is the moment when I and the kids think that way and put on sad faces.
“Ah, but I can’t just see this as pitiful. If you see sharks hunting other fish, you’ll be able to say that again. It’s not in the top 10 most dangerous animals on the planet for nothing.”
“Really?”
“Anyway, it’s a fish that can kill people. Don’t take it too seriously.”
“Ohh…”
All of us, including Miho, nodded in the same way.
Really thinking that way makes me feel less pity. Still, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the shark, also called the king of the sea, being trapped in this narrow coffin and getting more and more scars, no matter how scary these guys are.
“If you are weak, you become a spectacle, that’s the same here.”
“Noah?”
“No, Dad. Hehe.”
Since I’m visiting the aquarium with my mom, the stability itself is definitely different. If there are teenagers rushing at them, the mothers immediately protect Miho and Noah while frowning.
After spending time like that, the broadcast that the dolphin show is starting to ring out before I knew it.
Was it a penguin show before?
Well anyway…
Hearing the sound of the broadcast, Noah flinched and trembled.
In the past, there were too many people, so I went out halfway through, but I didn’t intend to do that anymore.
“Let’s go see a dolphin show.”
“Kyaang!”
“It’s gonna be fun.”
Following Miho and Seonwoo Yerang, who were excitedly leading the way, we followed the guide to the bleachers where the dolphin show was held.
“For those sitting in the front row, water may splash to some extent, so it would be really appreciated if you could get a disposable raincoat from here.”
Since the entrance fee to the aquarium is not too high, it seems that disposable raincoats are just given out for free.
I quickly ran and got raincoats for each person and handed them out.
For an event that only happens 2 or 3 times a day… I waited while watching the fish I saw to see this three times.
If you’re going to see it, it’s good to see it from the front row where you can see it.
“Thank you.”
“Thank you, brother. You guys should also say thank you to Dad.”
Miho and Noah also said.
“Tack Q.”
“Thank you, Dad.”
Ground q?
Before I could tackle anything, an announcement reverberated throughout the aquarium.
[After a while, the dolphin show you have been waiting for will begin. Before that, I will tell you the names of our lovely dolphins, who have built a bond with us for over 4 years, one by one.
“Is four years a long time?”
… I mumble.
All of a sudden, the couple who explained about sharks come next to me with raincoats and sit down.
“Brother, is four years a long time?”
“Ah, the average lifespan of a dolphin is usually over 30 years. Dolphins in aquariums or aquariums actually have an average lifespan of only 6-7 years. Did you see the sharks’ backs were bent earlier? That’s why dolphins, who are friendly and docile to people, are under a lot of stress. That’s why we can’t hold events like this often.”
That’s a complete explanation, huh.
After hearing such a long explanation, what kind of woman would you like?
“Wow, that smart guy. Do you look edgy? Hyunwoo, don’t you know anything?”
“I’ll make a dolphin sound.”
When I pretended to be a dolphin with all my heart, not only my girls laughed, but even the family sitting in the back seat burst into laughter.
It’s embarrassing, bitch…
“But still, Hyeonu is the best. Oh, I really laughed do it again later.”
“I do not like it…”
[Okay then, let’s start the dolphin show. Music, please!]
-I don’t, I don’t need confidence.
─Kirurururuk!
It was a truly terrifying sight to see dolphins spinning, jumping, and dancing at the hands of trainers.
To the point where I unknowingly clenched my fists and looked back to my innocent childhood.
“Chuleup, you’re feeding the fish.”
“If nothing else, don’t covet dolphin food.”
“…”
Why no answer?
[Now, I would like to give a big round of applause to our Pia and Nobel, who are making such wonderful jokes. Pair, pair, pair, have fun together, pair, pair, pair!]
[Then, shall we watch these children play tricks with hula hoops next time?]
After that, the joke continued for about 5 minutes, and then the trainer opened his mouth while wiping his forehead drenched with sweat.
[Then from now on, today’s special time!]
Special time? What is it?
However, looking at the reactions around them, everyone started to tremble as if they had waited for only this time.
“Hey, what are you going to do?”
“I know, right. What are you doing?”
Looking back, a dad was lifting her daughter up with both hands, making her lift up to hers as well. Also, this is what I’m paying attention to.
Before the trainer could say anything into the microphone, I placed Miho and Noah on my shoulders and lifted them up to stand up. It may be a little nuisance to sit in the back seat, but I wasn’t a considerate person to that extent.
“Kids, raise your hands if anything is good.”
Miho, you can eat fish!”
“No, Noah wants to take a picture up close!”
For the sake of the children screaming like that, I kept showing off by keeping my balance as much as possible on the really slippery floor.
[Wow, there are a lot of people who are seeing it for the first time today. Everyone is trying so hard to appeal. Oh, this will get me in trouble. I still have to make a decision.]
[Then, I will give you the opportunity to experience the fun dolphin show with me and now the assistant trainer. Now, who would you like today…]
It’s obvious, but I did it like this.
It was even more strange that the trainers didn’t look at me when there weren’t even any children with a noticeable hair color like our children.
Even the beauty of Seonwoo Yerang and Hwang Bonayoung sitting next to him was amazing.
[The children with blonde and silver hair over there? My father is dancing so hard, please. Even with two children on her shoulders her. My father has a better balance than I thought, but he must be strong.]
“Oh, everyone is looking at Miho. Kyaang!”
Haha… Oh, Dad!”
The charm of Miho, who responds casually, and Noah, who grabs my face in surprise, is a law that works all over the world.
It was to the extent that I could see everyone swallowing empty wind here and there.
[Please come forward with the father who worked so hard for his children right now! Applause everyone!]
Done, done
“Oong, come forward, tongue nu. I guess you’re going to share some fish.”
“Hauuuuu, I’m ashamed of you, Dad.”
I held the children’s hands and said, shaking the water from the dolphin and the damp hair from the sweat.
“Daddy will be right next to you, so don’t worry and let’s go.”
If I could give these children unforgettable memories, I could have been a clown.
