TILL THE VERY END [MK X F!Reader]

[10. Doubt]

Jiu Yuzhou expected that (Y/n) would constantly worry her; Much like a mother who worries for her matured daughter.

Oh, she remembered how little (Y/n) would always ask for her helping hand when it came to tying her shoes.

Now, (Y/n) would rarely seek her assistance, even if she needed to protect the city from dangerous villain.

She felt a little heartbroken, but that's okay. (Y/n) will always be her pride and joy, even if she is not her... not her biological...

Anyway!

Although Jiu Yuzhou couldn't hide anything from her adorable granddaughter...

This goddamn Sun freaking Wukong urged her to keep quiet about the adventure they currently took together.

How dare he ask such a thing! That was beyond the capabilities of Jiu Yuzhou! Not to her treasured granddaughter.

However, Monkey King was aware that that was going to happen.

He therefore said something in order to convince Yuzhou to follow his instructions.

A promise.

He offered her a forever promise to keep (Y/n) in the dark about what they were about to undertake.

You all know what happened after that.

Jiu Yuzhou couldn't violate a promise or back out of one, thus she kept a secret from (Y/n).

It's all due of her curse, which compelled her to always fulfill her promises.

Currently, she looked forward to the setting sun as she sat on a cliff's edge while Sun Wukong searched for something.

Although the scene was stunning, with all the red hues blended together in a serene way, the silence and guilt she was feeling consumed her mind and vision like monsters.

"The things I've done to run away from my secrets..." She chuckled bitterly, running her fingers through her hair, "are unforgivable."

"Oh, womp womp! Are you still weeping over the fact that you couldn't tell (Y/n) what you were doing this entire time?"

There it is! There's the voice that Jiu Yuzhou loathed at this moment—Monkey King's.

"Shut your mouth, King!" Yuzhou grumbled and rose up, turning around to face Monkey King, "I'm not going to stay here and trade insults with you like we're kids again because first of all, we're not kids. Second of all, we've done this argument before. Last but not least..."
