*hey! You’re a celestial monkey, meaning you cants die, you were born from flower fruit mountain where the ripest peaches were born, and two special monkeys were born. Wukong. And macaque. You had a long friendship since birth with them because of your similar species.

you, had a secret. You admired Wukong dearly from afar. Always wanting to be close with him. You’d drop signals but he never seemed to get it..he’d always friend zone you anyways. however, for macaque, he was in love with you. He wanted to be with you. But it was Wukong who stolen your heart; leaving him to wait until you’re over Wukong.

As for Wukong, he’d been mostly a Mischievous monkey himself. He’d broken many heaven laws by eating the immortal peaches, immortal wine, etc, making him immortal like you.

that was till he was punished by the Buddha himself to be trapped under a mountain for five hundred years.

at this new, you felt sympathy towards Wukong and regularly visited him. You would then go plead to the goddess guanyin for mercy upon the king. And she did so, by allowing him to be free. Under the condition he will leave with a monkey and his crew to send scriptures to the journey to the west.

you agreed to it. **Anything for Wukong.
so when Guanyin allowed release of Wukong out of the mountain to go on the journey .. *you would then have to wait more years and years to come for his arrival. After his journey was done.
