"That's unusual," Macaque hummed, as he and Ming both looked at the 'Closed' sign, on the restaurant door. "Didn't MK say that Pigsy never closed his shop?"

Just as Macaque finished his sentence, the door slammed open, making both the disguised simians jump in surprise. In the doorway, stood a frantic MK, who looked up and blinked in surprise at the sight of the two. Macaque didn't even get to open his mouth, before MK tackled him, the black haired male barely managing to catch himself.

"Macaque! Oh thank the gods you're here!" MK shouted, the teen looking about ready pass out. "I can't find Pigsy anywhere, and he hasn't opened the shop, and--"

"Calm down there," Macaque interrupted, running hand through MK's hair, which appeared to calm the teen down. "Take deep breaths, then tell me what's going on."

MK took a deep breath in, then let it out, "Pigsy hasn't opened the shop, and I can't find him or Mr. Tang anywhere."

"I see," Macaque hummed, thinking about what might've happened. "If I remember you telling me before, you friend Mei made this sort of underground base, right? Perhaps the two of them are there."

"Y-Yeah...." MK said, eyes worried and wild. "M-maybe they're there."

"MK," Macaque's concerned tone made the teen jumped, and his head shoot up to face the worried simian. "Are you sure you're okay? Perhaps--"

"I-I'm fine!" The brown haired boy waved off his other teacher. "No need to worry!~"

The elder male narrowed his eyes, "Qí Xiǎotiān, tell me the truth."

MK flinched at the use of his real name, and he shuffled in place nervously, "I-I-......"

A sigh from the dark skinned monkey made him flinch, and MK thought he might be in trouble, only see a tired smile on Macaque's face, "How about I make you breakfast before you go at least, hmm?"

The teen went to say no, when his stomach growled, a red hue danced on his cheeks as Ming giggled, "I think that's a yes papa!~"

"I think so too," Macaque chuckled, gently leading MK into the restaurant.

The boy closed the door behind him, making sure that nobody could enter or see through, before nodding to the duo who took on their true forms. Macaque set Ming down in a booth, MK sitting across from her, and walked off into the kitchen to make some food.

Knowing that he'd be stuck where he was, MK decided to take a few more deep breaths to calm himself, before pulling out his journal and pulling out some pages, "Hey Ming."

The little she-monkey looked up at MK, gasping as she spotted the pages in MK's hand, making adorable little grabby hands as her tail wagged in excitement.

This made the boy laugh, as he set down the hand drawn coloring pages, and handed over some crayons he'd bought for the girl, "I drew a few new ones for you. There's one of Nezha and of Bai Long Ma in there."

Ming squealed, "Thank you Gēge!~"

"You're welcome Ming," MK chuckled, gently patting her on the forehead, and resting his head on the table, as he watched the happy female get to work on coloring.
