The next morning, with satiable stomachs, the two headed out to an aquarium. Jin was always prepared with the camera, whilst MiYeon craved for something to eat. It was rather ironic compared to what had happened yesterday. 

They threw some sort of a dart towards a list of activities that they had planned out. MiYeon was so confused as to where and how to begin their day in Miami. Jin had proposed the ridiculous idea, which had brought them to where they were right now. The moment they arrived at the said location, Jin was already dashing towards the ticket line. 

Leaving his wife in utmost vexation, she meandered towards her husband who was continuously jumping up and down in mere excitement. 

"I seriously have no idea what I'm going to do with you." She slowly shakes her head before lining up for the tickets.

"Two tickets for adults, please."

"That'll be 35 Dollars ... for one person" 

She almost wanted to bawl her eyes out, but did so anyway. 

MiYeon fished out the specific amount and Jin was the bodyguard of watching over the money ... and his wife of course. She handed the cash in exchange for the tickets. The moment Jin took the ticket from MiYeon's grasp, the lad was already dashing towards the entrance.

"Hurry up and bring your ass here! I want to see the goddamn fishes!" Jin exclaimed in utmost delight, but his overexcitement was overwhelmed by the morning noises. MiYeon sighed to herself and followed after the lad. She could not see him as a proper grown ass man years old. 

For now, Jin was a five year old kid at heart. 

Mesmerised by the front entrance only, Jin squealed in joy as he dragged MiYeon to the map. They observed the layout under the sunlight and Jin instantly pointed to the aquarium out of the whole theme park. She could not control his enthusiasm. Once he was excited, it was like observing a child high on sugar levels. 

"Jin, calm down would you? I'm still trying to wake up from my sleep." MYeon excused herself from running with Jin. She was wearing sneakers, but her body had not yet adjusted to waking up properly. Sitting inside the car almost made her fall asleep again. However, with the constant nudging from Jin, she remained awake.

"No! We need to see the fishies, now!" He grumbled in retaliation and she raised a brow in confusion.

"We have fishes back home in Korea too!" 

Jin wasn't having any of it and skipped with his wife at hand. He did not give a care about the others staring at them. He wanted to see the swimming fishes. He even wanted to swim with the fishes.

"But Miami fishes here are different from the fishes in Korea." She retorted back with her knowledge, in which Jin brushed it away with a kiss on her forehead. 

"But there's no reason as to why we can't visit the aquarium." Jin retaliated with a smug smile on his face, engendering his wife to roll her eyes. She accepted her defeat and hopped along with Jin to the aquarium section. 

Jin didn't waste any opportunity and snapped a lot of pictures of him with the fishes. The percentage of Jin with other creatures was higher than the rate with his wife. Most of the other pictures were single pictures of Jin's full face and MiYeon couldn't help but to fangirl over her husband. 

He looked so damn handsome in both pictures and real life. 

"Oh! A kingfish!" Jin exclaimed and dragged himself towards the shatter-proof glass. MiYeon trudged from behind and observed the blue scenery of the aquarium. She felt like sleeping just watching the fishes swim around. They did not have to work so hard to earn income and simply eat other fishes.
