          When you walked down the stairs and into the noodle shop, the first thing you noticed was that Tang was helping your dad pack multiple packages of vegetables into crates. Sandy was carrying big containers with topped off lids, walking them out the back door and onto the noodle truck your father was going to operate during new years. You smiled as you walked up to your father, greeting him with a swift hug before turning to Tang and giving him one as well. Tang froze at your kindness, smiling and patting your back in gratitude.

The second you pulled away from Tang, standing up straight again, someone threw themselves onto your back at full force, squeezing you tightly. "Happy New Years Y/n!" You heard Mk shout from behind you, you only flinched at the sound before a smile slowly formed on your face. You turned around to face Mk, thinking he was done with the hug, but he only tightened it as his head rested on your shoulder. You pondered your options for a moment, your hands awkwardly hovering over his sides before you wrapped them around his back, pulling Mk closer to you in turn to give him a hug back.

You felt Mk shake with excitement and squeal a little as you hugged him back, the grip eventually loosening and he pulled back, holding your forearms with a giant smile. "Happy New Years Mk, you seem chipper right now. Something up?" You asked with a head tilt, this only sent the man into a spiral of excited plans he had for the day. Your eyes widen at the boys out burst, but them slowly softened as you watched Mk express how he was going to go through today, his smile never leaving his face as he did so.

With one final huff, Mk crossed his arms and gave you a confident smile. "And, I'm going to go train with Monkey King right afterwards!" He loudly boasted, Pigsy peaking his head out from where he was to slightly growl at the information. "Speaking of, you don't like loud noises. You also mentioned you don't like festivals in the city, so what are you going to do this New Years?" Mk asked you, now putting a hand under his chin as he looked at you with a thoughtful look. You opened your mouth to tell him your plans, only for Mk to jump on you with a comical smile. "You can come celebrate with me and Monkey King! It's quiet up on Flower Fruit Mountain, and after I train with him, we can celebrate together!" Mk's face spoke more words than what flew out of his mouth, he was practically begging for you to join him and his mentor up on Flower Fruit Mountain for New Years. You almost pondered the option.

With a sigh and a smile, you grabbed Mk's hands off your shoulder and held them in your own in front of you, Mk's stance slightly faltering as you did so. "Your offer is very sweet and very tempting Mk. As much as I would love to spend New Years with you, I'm spending it with... My mentor." You lowered your voice at the end of your sentence, scared that if you said Macaques name Mk's expression would fall flat. Instead of the reaction you thought you were gonna get, Mk only nodded his head in an understanding way.

You blinked at Mk's reaction, watching as he pulled you in closer by the hands. "That's alright! We can call for a few and enjoy each others presence over the phone if you want! I'm sure that Monkey King would want to say hi to you too." You gaze softened as you looked at Mk, you really appreciated having a friend like him. With a chuckle, you pulled back, watching as Mk's face grew a darker shade as he realized your closeness with him.

Clearing your throat, you pulled your hands from Mk's grasp, watching as he blinked a little before stuffing his hands in his pockets. "We can do that, make sure to send me pictures of the fireworks from up there, ok?" You asked him, Mk only nodded, happy you agreed to spend just a small fraction on New Years with him. You nodded back to Mk before you walked over to your father, watching as he looked up at you with a bright smile. "I'm gonna go now, ok?" You tilted your head, awaiting your fathers response. He only huffed and rolled his eyes, giving you a hug before waving you down.
