Battery

Bottom of the 9th inning at the KBO season opener. Two outs. Bases loaded. Do-hoon, the catcher, twelve years older than pitcher Eun-yul, signals for a breaking ball. But Eun-yul ignores the sign and throws a fastball. Strike. Game over. Victory. Later in the bullpen, Do-hoon confronts Eun-yul, angry that he went against the call. In the heat of the moment, Do-hoon suddenly kisses him. A stunned Eun-yul stares in disbelief. Calmly, Do-hoon says, “Maybe you forgot because I was always the one taking it. Now it’s your turn.”
