In a beautiful city filled with lights and tall buildings. There was a noodle shop called Pigsy's Noodles, and on top of that building, there lived a young adult in an apartment named MK. He lay on his messy bed, covered in sweat, with his eyes closed shut and his blanket on the floor as his best friend tried her best to take care of the sick boy while she practically made a mess looking for whatever could help.

"Hang on there MK! Pigsy should be on his way with the medicine again..." Mei muttered the last word. They tried all the medicines that they could find to at least help with the terrible burning fever he was experiencing, but unfortunately, it didn't have any effect.

The front door slammed open, revealing Pigsy and Tang with a bunch of medicine in their hands before rushing toward MK. "None of the medicines helped while I was gone?" Mei shook her head at Pigsy's question.

This was going to be a long day.

The next day, Pigsy tried his best to reason with the still-sick MK to just stay in bed for the day, but MK refused; he had training to do and didn't want to let Monkie King down. Before Pigsy could say another word, MK used his staff to jump away.

Mk arrived at Flower Fruit Mountain without falling asleep or smashing people to death with his staff. But once his feet touch the floor, he immediately groans and his body collapses to the ground.

"Woah, you doing ok bud- Scratch that, you look TERRIBLE!" Monkey King poked MKs face with a stick in concern.

MK pulled his face away and bounced right back up, trying to hide the exhaustion in his voice. "I'm doing great! There's nothing wrong with me AT ALL!"

Monkey King raised a brow and stared hard at MK, making him sweat even more than before. He was not falling for whatever MK was trying to hide. Monkey King sighed and crossed his arms.

"I wasn't born yesterday MK. You're sick! Did you at least try to cure yourself?"

A frustrated sigh slipped out of MK's lips as he grabbed his hair. "I tried pretty much every medicine we could think of. And it did absolutely nothing!" Mk felt like he could faint at any moment. He tried his best not to think of how his head pounded every minute and how the back of his throat burned. His eyes were all puffy, and his whole body was trembling.

Monkey King rubbed his chin, lost in thought before smiling brightly and snapping his fingers. "I know exactly a person to help you! Oh, how I always wanted an excuse to visit!"
