You remind Macaque too much of his old enemy—best friend, Wukong, the Monkey King himself.

Despite the complex history and their past rivalry, you and Macaque had forged a bond that transcended the remnants of their enmity.

The two of you quickly became best friends and soon joined the Monkie Kids: MK, Mei, Pigsy, Sandy, Tang, and Red-Son.

Together, you formed a tight-knit team that saved the world from chaos, but with every victory, an unspoken tension brewed.

As you traveled back to the Jade Palace, Wukong couldn't shake off the feelings that were stirring inside him.

He watched you and Macaque share laughs and trade playful jabs.

A pang of jealousy gnawed at him, one he tried to ignore but couldn't erase.

He remembered the days when he and Macaque were practically inseparable, brothers in arms against everything that threatened their realm.

Now, seeing you so close to Macaque stirred up painful memories of a friendship lost.

With a deep sigh, Wukong gently pulled you aside as the rest of the team continued chatting, unaware of the internal struggle brewing in their leader.

“We need to talk,” he said, his voice low but steady.

From the shadows, Macaque piqued his ears, using his super hearing to catch every word.

He felt a mixture of concern and curiosity about what Wukong wanted to discuss.

Could it be about the closeness you shared?

Would this lead to tension between the two old friends?

Wukong looked into your eyes, searching for the right words.

“I know you care about him,” he began, his voice softening, “and I get that you have your own friendship with Macaque. But... I just want you to understand where I’m coming from.”

His gaze shifted for a moment, the weight of his feelings palpable.
