Early in the morning, the house was filled with soft sunlight, and Monkey Su sat quietly beside Mom, his tiny eyes watching her every move. Su had always been sensitive, a little more emotional than the others, and whenever Mom showed even the smallest change in her mood, Su felt it deeply.
That day, Mom seemed tired. She moved slowly, her face softer than usual, and Su sensed something wasn’t right. Without a word, he climbed onto her lap and leaned his head against her chest, letting out a small whimper. Mom looked down, surprised, then gently stroked Su’s back. “What’s wrong, Su?” she whispered.
At that moment, Su’s emotions bubbled over. His eyes became watery, and he made a soft, broken sound—as if telling Mom he didn’t want her to feel sad, not even for a moment. Su held onto her arm tightly, clinging like a little child afraid of losing his comfort.
Mom hugged him close, and Su’s reactions changed again. He pressed his face against her shoulder, breathing deeply, calming himself with her warmth. His sensitive heart reacted to every gentle touch she gave—when she smiled, he brightened instantly; when she sighed, he tensed up again.
To cheer him, Mom lifted Su’s chin and kissed his forehead. Instantly, Su’s whole expression shifted—his brows relaxed, his lips curled slightly, and his tail wrapped around Mom’s waist like a warm hug. His emotional world was simple: if Mom was okay, Su was okay.
A little later, Mom began humming a soft tune. Su slowly closed his eyes, resting his tiny hand in hers, completely comforted. His emotions—so pure, so honest—showed just how deeply he loved his mom.
For Su, every tear, every smile, every heartbeat Mom shared became part of his world. And all he wanted, more than anything, was to stay close to her forever.
