I'd Save You [Macaque x reader] (Lego Monkie kid)

Chapter 16 Living Together

"Don't get your hopes too high!" You shouted.

You stood up from the chair and went upstairs to Macaque's bedroom. You closed the door and jumped on the bed.

"Why did I say that~! What was I thinking?! I shouldn't have said anything when he avoided me~!"

You started to roll around the bed. Feeling really embarrassed about what happened earlier. It's been getting weird around him lately, which of course you dislike. True, you met him in your 'old' workplace where he first kissed you but this situation seems more awkward than last time.

You walked around his room after finishing your thoughts about him. You only realized now that there were more into this room than just a bed, a night table and a lamp. There was also a small wardrobe and a book shelf from the left side of the bed. It was dark but it was visible as soon as you get close to it. There were a lot of book on the shelf but most of them were filled with dust or completely are unreadable.

You searched around the shelf and found one that wasn't dusty at all. You grabbed it and opened a random page.

'Our last moment together. Both me, Wukong and our dear ...'

"Dear..? Oh come on! Did this part have to be scratched off?" You complained.

As you get more into the book, you noticed that this was a book of a girl that they had taken with them in their small journey. Apparently, both Wukong and Macaque had a huge crush on the female. But she doesn't seem to notice them and kept rejecting them without even knowing that they were confessing.

That's when you started to remember way back when you had a sleepover with Wukong.

"Edea, was this the girl's name?"

You didn't feel overwhelmed or anything. You just thought about how interesting that girl would have been. I mean, a regular girl wouldn't have caught those two's attention no matter what they would've done. You yourself have had no idea why they suddenly caught an eye on you. Did you look similar to her or something.

"Gotta keep reading if I want to know more about her!"

'Our first destination was the cherry blossom tree from an abandoned village.'

"That tree..could've it been that one I visited earlier?"

This text suddenly made you remember of the dream you had. It was a double dream, sure, but there was something more into it. The faces were blurry and yet they sound so alike to the current Sun Wukong and Macaque.

"What the heck.." You whispered as you saw one of the pages old picture.

"That.." You immediately closed the book and shoved it back to the shelf exactly where it was in the first place.

You were speechless and yet excited. You slowly sat back down on the bed and waited for Macaque to finally call you for dinner. You didn't think or plan on telling him of your discovery but you were just so surprised to see the girl's face and feature. She looked exactly like you. No wonder Wukong and Macaque has found interest in you.

But how was that possible to look someone this alike? You have heard something like this before in a book  but you couldn't quite remember.

You pulled out your phone and immediately searched for the word you wanted to know.

"Reincarnation. It was said, if a person dies while being cursed by some kind of god, it also continues in your next life. People say your soul transfers into a newborn baby's body. It only happens if the death of the person was in the same day/time as the baby's birth."
