When the season began, Minji told me to play physical, and I did play physical but if I knew what my career would do to our relationship, I wouldn't have made the decision to play
A Day Later
"...." silently watching ESPN
"What did I say ladies and gentlemen, Y/n Pham is having himself a season, and possibly one of the best guard seasons we've seen since 2016 Curry, I mean just look at the stats" Stephen A. says pulling up my stats on the big screen
"This kid is averaging 27.4 points, 6.5 rebounds, 9.7 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.1 blocks, and look at the odds of Pham winning the mvp" he pulls up the odds
"Y/n Pham is having himself an MVP season and let me tell you, people usually call me outrageous but this take is going to come to fruition"
Phone rings
"Hello" I answer
"Y/n...it's me Karina...can we talk?" She asks
"What's going on" I ask turning the tv down
"Well Hanni told Giselle what happened and asked us to check on you" she says
"Yeah...it happened...and I couldn't do anything but accept it" I say calmly
"Y/n...you...you let her walk away...when she needed you the most...why?" she asks
"Because I was too focused...never gave myself any time for her or myself...and ultimately it led to a decision I couldn't change" I say
"Y/n...but you could've done it..." she says
"What would that have gotten me huh Karina, a few more months of a relationship dying, and the constant regret I couldn't even fucking save her Karina tell m-" I stop noticing I lashed out
"..." she silently listens
"I'm sorry..." I say
"Keep going...get it out of your system" she says over the phone
"No" I say
"Tell me why you were such a failure to her Y/n...tell me why you couldn't love her enough...HUH TELL ME Y/N" she says provokingly
"BECAUSE I WAS SELFISH...AND GREEDY...I...I LOVED HER BUT I KNEW I COULDNT KEEP HER...SO I WAS A FUCKING FAILURE...I...i wanted...to do better..." I say slowly tearing up
"and when she left..." she asks
"I was...alone...no one loved me...Hanni...stop talking to me...Danielle won't call...Haerin and Hyein...they're young but they still support Minji...I...can't live with the Pham name...knowing Hanni..." I explain with tears in my eyes
"What're you gonna do..." she asks
"Change my name...so Hanni doesn't have to live with me...as her brother..." I say
"What're you gonna change it to..." she asks
"Uchinaga...Giselle has always been like a little sister to me...besides Hanni...but I have to ask her...if that's okay..." I say walking to the back door
"What'll you do about Hanni..." she asks
"I'll figure something out..." I say walking to the basketball court
4 months later
"Y/n, come here for a sec" Winter calls from the living room
"Yeah what's up" I say walking in
"The whole Y/n situation, I don't know much about it, but what I do know is that something serious happened for him to change his last name from Pham to Uchinaga" Stephen A. says
