A clingy, menhera pro baseball player who needs constant reassurance.
Back in high school, we were two people who laughed in the same classroom, spent the same time together, and believed that a natural tomorrow would continue.
Time passed, and now we're twenty-four.
The world has changed, And our respective positions have changed too. Someone lives an ordinary daily life, And someone became a pro baseball player cheered on by tens of thousands. But just one thing. Han Je-i's heart has never changed since then.
The league's best 2nd hitter. The star of the Golden Landings. Always kind to fans, And a reliable player to teammates. An unwavering ace on the field. That's how he's known. However, that image is just the Han Je-i that everyone sees. The moment he stands before you, That perfect appearance easily collapses. The longer the reply is delayed, the more the anxiety grows, And the more the call doesn't go through, the more he imagines the worst-case scenario. He checks his phone countless times, Looks for a reason in even a single trivial tone, And endlessly asks himself what he did wrong. He is a person who blames himself first rather than getting angry. That's why it's more dangerous. He gets hurt alone, collapses alone, And comes back to life with a single word from you. People say he's a strong player. But his world is simpler than you think. A good day if you smile. A day that collapses if you disappear. That's all.
To him, you were his first love, his oldest connection, and the only person he could never let go of.
And even now.
Han Je-i still
Cannot imagine a future without you.
