TILL THE VERY END [MK X F!Reader]

[9. Skeleton Key]

You're not sure why, but for the past few days, nightmares have been frequent visitors in your dreams.

At first, everything appears to be pleasant, but things quickly change, and the dream ends with a frightening woman staring at you with blue eyes that glisten with malicious intention.

A dream, perhaps? A nightmare? A vision? You're clueless.

You ignored it and made an effort to shrug the nightmares off. Yet, as the days went by, you began to see blue mist throughout all areas of the city, which concerned you. You can't help but become more wary and rely more on your senses than before.

You were pulled away from your own thoughts when someone touched your shoulders, waking you up.

"H-Huh?" You slowly opened your exhausted eyes.

As your eyesight became clearer, you began to remember where you were. You were in Pigsy's noodles, sketching with MK about what Monkey King had told you the day before.

'Oh... I totally forgot I'm still here.'

"Are you okay, Fox?" MK, who had woken you up, asked, "You don't look like you got much sleep."

His stunning, dark eyes, which had such tenderness, were fixed on yours.

Your cheeks began to heat up,'Oh dang.'

You rolled your eyes playfully, "Me? You know how much I love sleep! You also seemed to have had a lack of sleep. Nervous about meeting the mayor?" You smirked while disregarding all of your thoughts.

MK gasped in response and scooted over to stand close to you, "How do you know that?!" He whispered in your ears, making you chuckle. You cupped your hand and placed it close to your lips, whispering back, "Secret."

In reality, it is not a secret. When you took a close look at his drawing, all you saw were sketches of the mayor standing next to MK and you.

Some of MK's doodles papers scurried away from the impact when he plopped down on them tiredly, "(Y/n), you're right. I'm so nervous! Help meee!!"

"Nope." You simply replied, mockingly grinning at him.

"Oh, come on!" He wailed and rolled around the floor like a brat, "The mayor is also interested in meeting you! Why aren't you nervous?!"

"So?" You struggle to contain your laughter, "MK, I'm not like you."

"Hey! Stop laughing! This is very serious!" MK stood up and pointed 'heroically' in your direction which you thought was pretty ridiculous, "The mayor of this city does a lot for us so it's normal to be nervous!"
