After the Monkie Kids saved the world, things between you and Wukong shifted subtly but significantly. The mission had been intense—moments of chaos, teamwork, and adrenaline—yet somehow, it brought you closer together.

You found yourselves hanging out more, sharing laughs, and just enjoying each other's company without the weight of the world pressing down on you.

Wukong, who always seemed so confident and carefree, started to act a little differently around you. He caught himself lingering a bit longer when you spoke, his usual teasing tone softening into something more gentle.

He’d catch himself stealing glances, his cheeks tinged with a faint blush, and he’d quickly look away, pretending he wasn’t affected.

It wasn’t like he thought much of it—just a little crush, he told himself. Nothing serious. Still, he couldn't help but notice how your smile made his day brighter, or how he felt a little flutter whenever you joked around.

He’d never admit it out loud, but the more time you spent together, the more he realized just how much he liked being around you.

One evening, as you both sat on the rooftop watching the sunset, Wukong hesitated before speaking. His voice was a little quieter than usual. "Hey… I guess I’ve been meaning to tell you something. It’s kinda… important."
