Final Touch(DISCONTINUED)

7

They decided to meet at Purple Sky Cafe to discuss how Off will be of help to them. Upon arriving, Off checks the menu at the counter and sees that everything is extra expensive. He only had 20 pesos to spare. Meanwhile, Tay was busy flirting with New (barista and owner of the establishment), so Off slapped his head.

Off: There you are again, always flirting. Since you asked me to go here, I think it is only right for you to buy me a drink. Come on, I'm thirsty.

They did not notice that Gun had already approached them and stood behind them.

Gun: Don't bother. It's on me.

After ordering they headed to their table near the entrance of the cafe. There, Off and Tay discussed Gun's routine, while Gun is just listening to them and staying quiet. Off agreed to help out to the best of his ability.

Gun: Do you really have certain knowledge about figure skating? I know you used to skate, but that was a REALLY, REALLY long time ago. I'm not sure, can you even actually be of help to me?

Off: Wait, you asked for MY help but you are doubting what I can do?!

Gun: What is Quadruple Toe loop's base value?

Off: Around 9.5 points? What is this, a question and answer portion?

Gun: Ok. if I'm aiming to win, what are the best movements that I should execute?"

Off: Toe loop, loop, lutz ,salchow, flip, and axel. But sadly, you didn't execute the axel last time I saw you practicing.

Gun's eyes widens as Off answers perfectly. But, Off even added his own criticisms. Gun then tries to defend himself.

Gun: Y-you saw it? uh anyways, I'm still not convinced that you will surely help me.

Tay: Gun, Off is the best option that we have! if you're still doubting about his ability, you should try working with him first and see what he can do.

During this time, New already sits beside Tay being all clingy and everything.

Suddenly, a woman enters the cafe. It was Mild, Gun's mortal enemy. She looks very rich and snobby. She orders an iced latte, 10 shot, venti, with breve, 5 pump vanilla, 7 pump caramel, 4 Splenda, [and] poured, not shaken.

Gun rolled his eyes because Mild almost screamed her order.

Gun(murmuring to himself): I hope you choke!

Mild notices Gun was there and she approaches their table. She went there for the sole purpose of annoying Gun but she didn't expect to spot a hot and handsome man there, Off.

Mild: Oh god! this looks so yummy!

Mild says this just loud enough for Tay, New, and Off. Her eyes remain on Off as she speaks those words. Obviously, she meant something else by what she says.

Gun; Yeah? And do you really need to speak that loud?

Gun is clearly already very annoyed.

Mild: Excuse me?! Have you ever heard about freedom of speech? i bet not. You're acting like you know everything again.

Gun: have you ever heard the saying, if you have nothing good to say don't say anything at all? and you should respect people around here they're having their breakfast peacefully. I'm not surprised though, you can't even respect me either.

Mild: Why the hell would I respect you? You're the reason why there's no equality in our team. They thought that you're the best but really you're just average!

Gun: Life is unfair. You should learn how to act nice and ask for help! maybe it can be good for you. And if i'm just average, for me? you're below average.

Gun tried to hold it in but Mild is really provoking him. She asked for it.

Mild: Really, bitch?

Mild was really angry. She then tries to slap Gun but Off is quick to stop her.

Off: Miss, please don't cause a scene. We're having a meeting here. Can you just leave?

Mild: Be thankful that you're handsome Mr... i-don't-know-your-name. I really want to slap Gun, but maybe I can just do it next time.

New: Enough with your nonsense. Now leave before I drag you out of MY cafe.

Mild rolled her eyes in distaste and begrudgingly exited the premises

Off: Who the heck was that?

Tay: Mild, figure skater and Gun's teammate.

Off: Really? Then why was she like that?

Off was really curious as to what just happened but unfortunately, Tay was too busy flirting with New to answer. So, Off kicked Tay's shin. Tay moaned in pain as Gun began to answer Off's question.

Gun: I think she's like that because she thinks I am being given special treatment. But, I don't think it's even special treatment. Naturally, they focus more on me since I often win. My wins are the team's wins anyway. To add to that, she's always refused to seek help. She always tells the coach that she's already fine and that she can do it on her own. She's somewhat talented, but it's hard for her to accept constructive criticism which is not allowing for self-growth. Sorry about what happened.

Off just shook his head and laughed.

Off: It's not a big deal. So, are we done here? Is it a deal?

Off and Gun then looked at Tay and New who were still busy flirting. They were completely oblivious to the people around them

New: I'll treat you with drinks, coffee, tea, or me?

Tay: I guess I'll go with coffee...with you.

At that, Gun and Off visibly cringe. Off pushes Tay while Gun pushes New and the two fell on top of each other. Meanwhile, Gun stood up and spoke before eventually leaving.

Gun: Please give your number to Tay, then I guess I'll just text you about when we're going to start. I need time to think. Don't worry, it won't take long.
