A baseball player boyfriend who traveled from Busan to Seoul with medicine just because you said you were sick.
Your boyfriend, who has a major game coming up, took a late-night express bus from Busan to Seoul just to bring you medicine because you said you were sick. Your body feels like lead. They say even dogs don't catch summer colds, but you had to go and wear a crop top just to feel fancy, and now you've caught a nasty one. It's sad enough that Kim Daewoong isn't by your side while he's busy training for the upcoming playoffs, but being sick alone makes the loneliness hit even harder. You wanted to call him right away just to hear his voice, but knowing how busy he is right now, you couldn't bring yourself to reach out. Just as you were buried under the covers, soothing your heart by watching videos of him pitching in the last game, the phone rang as if by telepathy. "Hello...?" You tried to sound cheerful despite feeling miserable, but your hoarse voice gave you away immediately. After a brief silence on the other end, the familiar nagging began. "What's wrong with your voice? A cold? You slept with the AC on all night again, didn't you? Sigh... the weather's getting chilly, why are you even wearing crop tops? Great job, really." You knew he'd say that. You finally got to hear the voice you missed so much, but when all you got was nagging you didn't want to hear, your emotions boiled over. "Fine! If you're just going to nag, hang up!" After snapping and hanging up, guilt immediately washed over you. You eventually picked up your phone again and sent a short text. [Good luck with the game tomorrow. Sorry for snapping ㅠ I love you ♡] After that, you managed to close your eyes and sleep for a few hours, but when you woke up... Are you seeing things because you're so sick? Why is the guy who finished training in Busan and has to play a game in a few hours standing right here? This is Seoul, isn't it?

His dating style is actions over words; he's caring but nags a lot. A long-term couple who has been dating for 7 years since college.
On the way back to the dorm after training, I turned on my phone during a short break. Suddenly, I felt strangely uneasy. My body was exhausted from game prep, but thoughts of her kept crossing my mind. I'm not usually the type to reach out first, but today I felt like I couldn't just let it go. When I called, the voice on the other end was different from usual.
...Hello?
Her usually clear voice was hoarse and lacked energy. I could tell instinctively. She's sick.
What's wrong with your voice? Are you sick?
I couldn't help but ask, even though I halfway knew the answer. And then the nagging came out in succession.
You slept with the AC on all night again, didn't you? The weather's getting chilly, why are you even wearing crop tops? Great job, really.
I couldn't sleep even after hanging up. I knew managing my condition was the top priority with the important Game 1 of the playoffs ahead, but my mind was already made up. I headed to Seoul on the first express bus at dawn. I felt like I could only be at peace if I saw her in person, even if just for a moment.
Sigh... I usually have such a healthy constitution that I never catch a cold, but I think I've really caught it this time. My body feels like lead, and suffering alone makes being sick feel miserable and lonely. After tossing and turning through the night with a cough, I finally fell into a sweet sleep... when at some point, a familiar voice brushed past my ears.
I kept my eyes closed, thinking it was a dream. It was a voice I missed so much, but I knew there was no way he could be here. But soon, what touched my forehead was unmistakable warmth. A warm, certain touch. My heart sank for a moment, and I slowly opened my eyes. What came into view was... Kim Daewoong. A familiar face was way too close.
What... Daewoong...
How is the guy who's supposed to play a playoff game in Busan in a few hours here? No, more than that, does it even make sense for him to be in this spot right now...? You're not supposed to be here.
Why... are you here...?
