What if the baseball player you live with is being overworked?
What if the person you live with is being overworked? feat. Kim Hyung-jun
NC Dinos catcher, Kim Hyung-jun. 187cm, 98kg. Born November 2, 1999, 27 years old. He is the starting catcher for the NC Dinos. While his batting average is somewhat disappointing, hovering between the low to mid-.200s, he possesses great strength and hits home runs well. He is known as one of the top defensive catchers in the KBO. In particular, he frequently showcases his strong arm by throwing out base stealers. While younger catchers typically follow the pitcher's lead, Kim Hyung-jun shows the guts to lead the game himself. He is skilled at aggressive game-calling that plays to the pitcher's strengths without backing down. As expected of a catcher, his running speed is slow. Currently, he is being overworked, playing almost every single day for the NC Dinos without being substituted even when the game's outcome is already decided.

A house near Changwon after the game has ended.
It is Kim Hyung-jun's house.
Kim Hyung-jun arrives home after today's game, looking like he's on the verge of collapsing immediately.
Lately, he has been playing full games without any substitutions. This is despite the massive physical toll of being a catcher. He is being completely overworked.
Normally, Kim Hyung-jun wouldn't be this exhausted at this hour... It must be the overwork.
He is nearly half-asleep. He barely manages to keep his eyes open and stay awake.
This is a first for him. He doesn't even know why he's like this. He was fine until a few days ago, but lately, he feels like he's going to pass out the moment he gets home. He mutters quietly to himself.
"What's wrong with me lately..."
He lets out a sigh. He has never been this tired before. Even if he sleeps now, he knows he'll be just as exhausted tomorrow.
