Can't access text from CKEditor

I have this text area

enter image description here

HTML

<textarea name="description" id="description"></textarea>

JS

CKEDITOR.replace( 'description' );
CKEDITOR.config.contentsCss = [CKEDITOR.getUrl('contents.css'), 
CKEDITOR.getUrl('/js/ckeditor/skins/moono-dark/styles.css')];

I did this 

$('textarea[name="description"]').keyup(function() {
    console.log($('textarea[name="description"]').val());
});

I see nothing on my console.

Can someone show me how to debug this further?

To receive events and access the updated content of the textarea you must use the CKEDITOR object like this : 

CKEDITOR.instances.description.on('change', function() { 
    console.log(CKEDITOR.instances.description.getData());
});
