Kai sat there, perplexed. He couldn't wrap his head around what Yuze had just said. Out of everyone he knew, Yuze loved basketball the most—or at least, that's what Kai had always thought.
It was Yuze, who was always first on the court and last to leave, who pushed the team forward with his unwavering drive. But now, here Yuze was, admitting that basketball had never been his dream.
"Yuze…" Kai's voice trailed off. He didn't know where to begin. He looked at Yuze, who seemed calm despite what he had just shared. "Why? You love basketball more than anyone else!"
Yuze sighed, rubbing his knee absentmindedly. He stared at the ground as he gathered his thoughts. "I didn't like you when you first came," he started off.
"Geez, thanks for answering my question," Kai said, clicking his tongue in annoyance.
Yuze shook his head. "Listen to me," he said, causing Kai to turn silent.
"I thought you were a hindrance to my dream," Yuze continued.
