When I walked into Pigsy's today after a morning patrol, I didn't expect to see such a pile of undelivered meals.
"Um, what's going on here?" I ask a I point at the pile, and Pigsy grumbled, but didn't answer. I looked over to Tang, who shrugged.
I wasn't going to get my answer, so I simply sat down at a table to continue catching my breath. I had run into Jin and Yin again, who tried messing with some clueless humans, and they gave me quite the chase.
"Hey, uh, MK. You mind explaining to me why I have two hundred orders of noodles that haven't been delivered yet?!" Pigsy shouted angrily as Mk entered the shop.
MK chuckled awkwardly. "I thought Mr. Tang was gonna do it?" I face palm. Did he really think that was going to work?
"Distraction. That's your greatest weakness, MK. You need to follow through on the task at hand. Understand?" He turns away as he spoke, then turned back around, only to see Mk was distracted with his phone.
"Huh?"
Finally at his limit, Pigsy threw his spook at MK, bonking him on the head. "That's it. I'm done. It's over. Pack your bags. You're outta here."
"What?! Give me another chance. Please. I-I can do better!" MK pleaded while on his knees.
Pigsy's phone then rings and he answers it. "Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Of course. Right way." He hangs up and turns his attention back to MK. "Fine. One more chance. But, if you slip up, even a little bit. Well, the Deliverybot 9000 is surprisingly affordable."
"No! I'm not gonna let you down, Pigsy. I'm gonna have to focus, like I've never focused before." He was about to leave the restaurant when Pigsy coughed, pointing to all the delivery bags with narrowed eyes. MK laughed nervously, collecting the bags and running to the tuk tuk.
"He delivers noodles literally every day. How is this suddenly..." The chef sighs in exasperation and I stand up. "I'll go with him." Pigsy looked at me gratefully and I walked out. As MK was putting the deliveries away, I sat in the tuk tuk.
"Okay. Everything's good and-." "Hey." "AH!" I almost laughed at seeing MK's scared face, he gave me a look. "What are you doing?"
"I'm coming with you. Making sure that you focus, y'know." I explain, and MK slowly nods. "Yeah, okay..." He sits next to me and starts up the tuk tuk, then drove off.
He drives for a short moment before coming up to a stoplight at a 4-way intersection.
"Okay, do just like Monkey King said. Focus. Take everything in." MK looks around. "Lamp post. Street sign. Amazing awesome , filled with the best games in the universe. Ahh, no! I have to focus. Focus!"
"I win!"
MK looked like he wanted nothing more than to run in and play around, but the light turned green. I felt my inner Zoroark come out and I pushed my foot down on the gas, making the tuk tuk move. MK screamed. "(YN)! Not cool!"
"Then pay attention!" I said through my giggles.
"Fine! Fine..." MK began driving on his own again, and I spoke up. "While Monkey King's advice is decent, it doesn't even begin to cover focus." I exclaim. MK looks over at me and hums, but I simply push his head back to face the road. "Focus is having a goal in mind and acting on it. You can do everything distracting afterwards because it will still be there. Your goal could disappear at any moment. So for me, focus is shutting everything out until my goal to focus on is done. Of course it's different for everyone else, so my focus might be different from your focus. So the best thing to do is pick a goal and roll wit it. Okay?"
