> ♡ °. INKED UP
♡ part two
☆ kwon jae sung x fem!reader
> summery:
it’s the first round of the tournament and to no one's surprise miyagi do’s first opponents are cobra kai. unfortunately for kwon that meant trying not to get distracted by you fighting his teammates in what was basically a capture the flag game, only instead of a flag the goal was throwing the captains to the mat.
OR kwon should have no problem staying focused and yet here he was.
> notes + warnings:
anybody else a d1 yapper?
the middle pic is the tat she got ( at least that's what I had in mind) in part one // part three if you'd like :)
Google translate was used for the korean and likey wrong (sorry bout that)
also posted on my ao3
> 1.5k written by:
S A R A H
Kwon had a problem. A shooker to everyone but him.
It was just his luck to make captain of his team at the most feared karate tournament in the world and still fuck up as soon as he got there.
It didn’t seem to matter that he had only just barely had time to touch his toes to the mat before he was unable to keep a clear goal in his mind. He was supposed to be thinking of nothing but his goals and how to achieve it. But instead he couldn’t stop thinking of you. Your voice, how you said his name, your hair, your tattoo he went with you to get last night. It was embarrassing. No, scratch that—it was humiliating. He’d only meant you last night! The sheer audacity of you being this distracting was going to make him lose his mind. He was so spacey that Yoon, of all people, called him out on it.
All the weeks of training leading up to this, the grueling late nights, and the blood, sweat, and tears he'd put into this moment—gone. Wiped clean from his brain like it was never there because of you. Like you were playing a game with his head and hit reset instead of continue.
When he forced himself on your little trip, he honestly didn’t plan on doing anything but make sure you got there and back safe. He had no idea that you were a yapper. And he doesn’t mean that like you just make conversation, but more that you were allergic to silence. Kwon heard more words from you in two hours than he’d ever heard from his own siblings. You told him, unprompted(!), about how you were a 3x wrestling state champ going for a fourth this year, that you hated curling your hair but liked the end product, how you couldn’t braid your own hair but everyone else was easy, that you’d only done karate for two years, and so on hardly stopping to breathe. It was a wonder that had him half-wondering how on earth you hadn’t passed out from lack of oxygen.
“ Ibwa! Byeongsin daejang, jibjung jom haebwa? (Hey, Captain asshole, maybe focus?)” Yoon snapped at him, dodging a flying kick from one of your teammates, the one with a mohawk, before kicking him off the mat.
“ Dagchyeo, Yoon. Na jibjunghago iss-eo. (Shut up, Yoon. I am focused.)” He grunted jumping into a flying kick, taking out one of your teammates with a satisfying thud.
“ Amado geunyeoege jibjunghaess-eul geoya, ( Focused on her, maybe),” Yoon shot back, and Kwon considered the pros and cons of “accidentally” taking down his own teammate.
Pro: Yoon wouldn't be able to talk to him for at least two minutes.
Con(s): he’d be mad when this was done and Kwon’s team would be down a number for the round.
Probably not worth it.
In the corner of his eye he watched you grab Hana’s, his teammate’s, foot before her kick could find it’s mark. You shoved her foot up above her head throwing her off balance and getting in close, you hooked her ankle with your own to rip it out from underneath of her forcing her to fall, and taking her out quickly. Which makes that 3 of his teammates out, and 2 of your’s.
Which left your twin brother the male captain to him, Yoon and your curly haired teammate, Tory and the female captain, with you trading opponents going back and forth between Yoon and Tory, opening weak spots for your mates to take advantage of.
Robby, if he remembered right, grabbed his leg, so Kwon twisted midair, using his pivot and jumping foot in a spin kick that forced him to let go so he didn’t take Kwon’s ankle to the jaw.
Kwon got two more hits in before Robby was able to knee him twice, Robbby had him in an arm lock but something must have grabbed his attention because he hesitated for a second too long and Kwon instantly took advantage. He punched him in the face, with that same arm he wrapped it over Robby’s chest and squeezed making his back bow. Robby elbowed him twice to get out of it, and threw a punch, unfortunately for him he swung too wide and left his waist open for a hip throw that Kwon took advantage of.
He looked over and saw you mid back handspring to avoid hitting the ground via Yoon’s foot. Yoon himself had been put in a headlock by a curly haired boy and was about to be thrown.
“ Miyagi do’s captain goes down.” Kwon heard the announcer say. “ Cobra kai beats Miyagi do. Last standing, cobra kai and the iron dragons.”
Sometime before their win the falchi della notte team got taken out, leaving shit all six of the iron dragons remaining.
He, Tory, and Yoon gathered in the middle of the mat.
“ Got any more ideas?” He grumbled.
Yoon made a face. “ Same as last?” He suggested halfheartedly.
“ Yep,” Tory said. “ Pierce the front line, go for the captains.”
Before the trio could take more than three steps, the iron dragons did something nobody saw coming, the entire front line took a knee, voluntarily taking themselves out. They all walked off the mat to line up behind their captains next to their sensei.
“ I’ll take the little girl, you two get the big guy.” Tory said switching places with Yoon on her right.
Kwon and Yoon exchanged a glance.
“ Geudeul-i ulileul gwasopyeong-gahaneun geolkka, animyeon uliga geudeul-eul gwasopyeong-gahaneun geolkka? (Are they underestimating us or are we underestimating them?)” He asked Yoon, rolling his shoulders back.
Yoon shrugged. “ Al-aboja (Let’s find out.)”
Find out they did.
Turns out iron dragon’s male captain is strong as fuck. Not good at fighting – all though that too, but physically. He got him and Yoon out in seconds, and Tory fell to the female captain at the same time, after getting put in a submission arm bar forcing her to tap out or break her arm. Kwon barely had time to process his opponent’s size before he was yanked off his feet and slammed to the mat. He blinked up at the ceiling, winded, as Yoon met a similar fate a second later right next to him.
Kwon groaned as he pushed himself up, wincing at the ache in his ribs. “ Naega WWE gyeong-gie deungloghago issdaneun sasil-eul mollassseubnida. Geuneun galadedo aneun geolkkayo, animyeon geunyang jaemisam-a salamdeul-eul ilijeoli deonjineun geolkkayo? (Didn’t realize I was signing up for a WWE match. Does he even know karate, or is he just throwing people around for fun?)”
“ Dangsin-i na-ege malhaneun. (Your telling me.)” Yoon wheezed, rolling onto his side. “ Maybe if someone had suggested watching more film on these guys, we wouldn’t be eating mat right now,” Yoon added pointedly switching to english so Tory could understand him, giving Kwon a side-eye as they got off the mat.
“ Oh, don’t start. We trained for fighters, not human bulldozers,” Kwon shot back with a wince after rolling his neck weird.
“ Save the excuse for later. As soon as this round is done, we’re going back to the locker room and watching every second of footage we can find on every team in this tournament.”
Kwon sighed, running a hand through his hair. He was definitely in trouble. “ Hear that Tory? Don’t think you can skip out again.”
Yoon was still grumbling under his breath.
“ Yoon,” Kwon began, his voice heavy with frustration as he tightened his fist. “ I get it. You're salty. But maybe save the lecture for when we're not licking our wounds in front of every dajang here.”
Yoon shot him a glare, rubbing at his ribs. “ You think this is about being salty? This is about us getting our asses handed to us because someone,” he jabbed a finger in Kwon's direction. “ Didn't think we needed to study footage.”
Kwon scoffed, flexing his jaw as he brushed some imaginary dust off his shoulder. “ Oh, I'm sorry, Yoon. Did you want me to spend more time obsessing over grainy tournament clips of every match? Maybe you can build a time machine and tell me how that guy has forearms the size of my thighs!”
Tory groaned from where she leaned against the barricade. “ Both of you, shut up. My arm’s not broken, but I swear I can still feel her pulling on it. Did she dislocate my shoulder? Or just my dignity?”
Kwon glanced her way, smirking. “ Well, your dignity's definitely bruised. Not sure about your shoulder, though.”
She rolled her eyes. “ Keep talking, Captain. It’s not like you didn’t just get folded like a lawn chair.”
Before Kwon could retort, Yoon cleared his throat loudly. “ Alright enough. The point is, we’re screwed if we keep going into these matches blind.”
“ Round up the rest of the team and have them meet us in the locker room, Tory. I’m gonna see if one of our sensei’s bought their laptops.” Kwon said.
“ First good decision you’ve made all day.” Yoon said.

what we used to be | Xll
Pairing: Eli Moskowitz x Fem!Reader
Summary: Kreese begins slithering his way into Cobra Kai and you're not so sure about it. It only makes matters worse when your friend gets hurt and your boyfriend can't be there for him.
Warnings: swearing, kissing, slight bullying, mentions of assault and battery, mentions of stitches, play fighting, sparring, mention of a dick pic
Word Count: 2.6k
A/N: This is when things start getting good!
Thank you to those who already reblog and comment, I see you and I love you all for it!
I don't consent to this work being copied, translated or reposted.
“You gotta understand, the Mogadishu in the ‘90s was a hellhole,” Kreese explained. “Warlords controlled whole swaths in the city. My team and I were charged with cleaning the place up.”
You sucked in a breath, only imagining the hell Kreese went through while in the military.
“How many warlords did you kill?” Eli asked, smiling as he took interest in the conversation.
“You keep track of every ant you stomp on?” Kreese questioned.
“Woah,” you and Aisha said at the same time.
“Badass,” Eli grinned.
Kreese began another story, your attention span dwindling as you couldn’t picture where Kreese was as he listed other countries.
“They were outgunned, we were outmanned. I tell ya, Rwanda was no joke,” he sighed.
“Don’t you mean Somalia?” Miguel stood up. “Mogadishu’s in Somalia, Rwanda’s a whole other country,” he pointed out the man’s mistake.
“Of course, Somalia. I spend so much time in the sandbox, it all just bleeds together,” he said, cautiously stepping around his next words.
You nodded, attempting to understand.
“Listen up!” Sensei ordered, drawing your attention to him. “I see we got some new recruits,” he scanned over the crowd. “Everybody fall in. In neat rows and lines,” he said.
You caught his elaboration, a big step up from your first day. You face forward, face slack but you were giddy inside, already catching a few girls in the class.
Sensei stalked between the students until he paused, talking to someone.
You heard an older voice and turned your head to see a grown man was present. He wanted to learn karate. You sent a glance at Eli, interest piquing you.
“I thought my last group was pathetic but if you do what I tell you to do you’ll at least have a chance of becoming a fighter,” Sensei boomed. “But to do that, you gotta fight. So who has the balls to take on the champ?”
Silence filled the room.
“I’ll take him on,” a girl’s voice spoke up.
You turned around to see a blonde with brunette roots stand in the back, her aura radiated power and dominance. You already liked her.
“I saw your little demo at Valley Fest. You guys put on a good show, but can you actually fight?” She smirked.
Oh, you definitely liked her.
“That sounds like a challenge,” Sensei said, taking a few steps closer to her.
“I like a challenge,” she responded.
Your smile grew, glancing at Aisha who shared the same sentiment.
“Mr. Diaz, show Little Miss Hotshot here what Cobra Kai is all about,” Sensei ordered, turning around and walking back to the front.
Miguel nodded but hesitated when he approached her. “Look, are you sure you wanna-,” he didn’t get the chance to respond when she charged toward him, kicking him square in the chest. He chuckled before he got serious. “Game on.”
They began fighting, Miguel having to block most hits. This girl was intense and she managed to stay even with him.
You could also sense the heavy tension between them.
It was cute.
She body-slammed him onto the mat before he swept her legs out from under her. He stood up, offering a hand. “My name’s Miguel.”
“Tory,” she breathed, grabbing his hand before she flipped him over, pinning his head to the mat. “With a y,” she said.
You snickered, impressed.
After class, you were in the mini-mart, getting some snacks before you headed off for a date with Eli. Aisha sighed behind you, staring at her phone.
“Let me guess, dick pic?” Tory walked passed her.
You laughed, grabbing your favorite candy from the shelf before you joined both of them.
“No, my mom wants me to go to the beach club with her,” Aisha sighed.
You and Tory stared at each other before laughing.
“That sounds so miserable,” Tory mocked.
“It’s not that,” Aisha smiled. “This girl Sam’s gonna be there and she and I are not on good terms,” she said. “Anyway, I’m Aisha, this is Y/N,” she jutted towards you.
“Tory,” she smiled at you two.
“That’s a cool bracelet,” you pointed at the spikey one.
She smirked. “This? It’s not just for show. Some creepy guy at the mall tried to grab me once, but I managed to block him and give him a gift he won’t ever regret,” she jabbed her arm.
“Absolute badass,” you said, amazed.
“You seem like you know how to kick ass pretty well, why did you join Cobra Kai?”
“I’ve taken a few kickboxing lessons but I always wanted to smash boards blindfolded,” she mocked.
You laughed.
“The secret is poking little holes in the blindfolds,” Aisha whispered.
“Cool,” Tory said. She walked towards the front of the store before Aisha stopped her.
“You guys wouldn’t mind joining me at the beach club? It’d be nice to have some backup,” she said.
“I’d love to, but Eli is taking me out on a date,” you smiled.
“Eli?” Tory furrowed her brows.
“Mohawk,” you said.
“You’re dating him?” She was surprised by it. “Seems intense,” she joked.
“Keeps me on my feet,” you responded.
“Well I guess I can suffer through a day at the beach,” Tory smiled, turning to Aisha.
“Have fun you guys, but we should all hang out together soon, it’s nice to have another girl on the team,” you grinned at Tory. You left the two, paying for your snacks before walking out.
Eli was leaning against the pillar outside, putting his phone away as you approached, talking to Miguel about something that clearly wasn’t making the other boy happy.
“What’s going on?” You asked enthusiastically, glancing between the two boys.
They glanced at each other, Miguel sending Eli a look that was only understood between them.
“Just talking about Kreese,” Miguel sighed. “I don’t trust him,” he admitted.
Understanding, you nodded, patting Miguel on the shoulder. “Hopefully he doesn’t stick around much longer.”
Miguel agreed before he walked back inside the dojo, leaving you with Eli.
He kissed you on the lips, wrapping his arm around your shoulders before making his way to his car.
~
“Tory can kick ass, she proves girls are stronger than boys,” you snickered, ducking under a tree branch.
The weather was sunny, with not a cloud in the sky. It wasn’t windy so it wasn’t that hot. It encouraged a good mood that your conversation drifted into one in which sex was stronger.
“Sure she beat Miguel, doesn’t mean shit,” Eli retorted.
“I can beat your ass any day of the week,” you scoffed, stopping dead in your tracks.
He was pulled back by your resistance, his brows furrowed at your words. “In your dreams, babe, I’m stronger than you, it’s okay to admit it,” he sucked in a breath, tugging on your hand to pull you along.
The dock on the lake came into view and you were glad no one was around. This made this moment even more perfect.
“You’re on,” you pulled away, shrugging your backpack off.
He looked at you confused before he realized. “Winner gets bragging rights?” He smirked
“Definitely,” you grinned, raising your fists.
He did the same but you didn’t even give him a chance until you were swinging your first punch. He blocked it, swiping your arms out before he aimed for a kick to your stomach.
You reacted, blocking him easily. You threw another punch, distracting him and managing to sweep his legs from under him.
The leaves rustled under him and as he rolled onto his back, you swung your leg over, hovering over him. He was taken aback, visibly gulping.
“Told ya,” you hummed, hands pressed onto his chest. The shit-eating look you had in your eyes was swiped the instant he flipped you over, a yelp escaping you.
“Wouldn’t call a victory that soon,” he grinned, hands holding him up on either side of your head. “Better luck next time, babe,” he smirked, moving off you and offering a hand.
You frowned, tucking a piece of hair behind your ear. “Does the loser get a kiss?” You grabbed onto his hand, your other wrapping around his forearm as you brought him close.
He smirked, leaning in to kiss you but the next second, you grabbed him, throwing him over your shoulder and flipping him onto his back. He hissed in pain.
You laughed. “Pucker up, loser gets a kiss,” you smirked, still holding onto his hand.
A few minutes later you were now enjoying a tranquil day out on the dock, your leg crossed underneath you while the other dangled over the ledge.
Your stomach fluttered as Eli’s hand cradled your jaw, tilting your head to the side as he kissed you. Your hand rested on his wrist, the other pressed against his chest. No matter how many times you kissed him, you grew giddy, your face growing hot. It was a feeling you didn’t want to go away.
“I think if we keep kissing, our lips are gonna fall off,” you snickered.
“Shh, I’ll take that risk,” he smirked against you, pulling you closer.
The moment was beautiful but was cut short when your phone buzzed. This was the fifth time in the last ten minutes and you grew worried about who it was.
“Hang on,” you paused, pulling your phone out of your pocket.
“Just ignore it,” he brushed off, chasing your lips.
“It’s Demitri,” you said, growing worried, knowing he only called for emergencies.
Reading the messages he sent previously helped you relax, but seeing his urgency told you it was important.
“He’s probably only calling to bitch about something,” Eli scoffed, wrapping his arm around your waist to stop you but you pushed a hand against his chest.
“Stop it,” you furrowed your brows, straightening and facing out onto the lake as you answered. “Are you okay?” You asked your friend.
“Eli didn’t tell you?” He asked.
“No, tell me what?” You furrowed your brows, sending your boyfriend a look.
“Your new Sensei attacked me in the dojo the other day, I had to get stitches,” he explained.
Your eyes widened. “He what?”
“Yeah, you heard me,” he said. “I thought Eli would’ve told you, but I guess I was wrong,” he sighed. “I wanted to let you know.”
“Yeah, thanks, I’ll stop by when I can, do you need anything?” You chewed on your lip, a feeling bubbling in your chest.
“I’m okay, thanks,” he said before hanging up.
“I told him to let it go,” Eli spoke up.
“Eli, our friend got hurt!” You exclaimed. “I knew Kreese had something off about him,” you said, thinking back to his slip-up at the dojo today. “Why didn’t you tell me? We could’ve been checking on Demitri like good friends instead of coming out here,” you gestured around you.
His brows furrowed. “Demitri will be fine. Besides, why would you put him over me? I thought our dates were important,” he argued.
“They are but things happen, he’s our best friend,” your voice cracked. “You should’ve told me,” you stood up, walking towards your backpack.
“Why are you acting like this? He’s the one acting like a bitch,” he sneered, standing up and following you.
You couldn’t believe what he had said. “No, he’s not!” You turned around to look at him. “You’re the one acting so insecure! I’m not choosing him over you and it hurts that you’d say that,” you huffed.
You hated that you were arguing again. It’d been a while since the tournament but you hoped you were past it.
“Babe, stop,” he reached for your wrist, pulling you back. “I didn’t mean it like that,” he sighed.
“I don’t want to fight about this,” you breathed. “I just want to see Demitri and make sure he’s okay,” you gulped.
He was reluctant but after a beat, he agreed. “Okay, I’ll drive you.”
~
Disappointment filled you when Eli didn’t want to come inside to visit Demitri. First, it was the “nerd shit” stuff at the victory party but being so insensitive when he was assaulted?!
You were trying to understand why Eli was losing himself. It hurt you in more ways than you could imagine.
After his mother let you in, you made your way to his room. You found him sitting at his desk, playing a game and when you knocked on the door, he turned around, showing you the bandage on his nose.
“I’m sorry I didn’t know,” you went over and hugged him. “And I’m sorry for how Eli reacted, I didn’t think he’d be defensive about it.”
He nodded, patting your shoulders as he moved to sit on his bed. “It’s not your fault, at least one of my best friends still cares about me,” he shrugged.
Your gaze dropped, knowing you couldn’t even argue it.
“I’ll talk to him,” you said.
“Didn’t you already?” He looked at you. “It’s obvious he won’t change his mind. I’m just a big pussy according to him,” he sighed, licking his lips.
“I think Kreese is getting into his head. He hasn’t been around long but he’s already slithering his way into Cobra Kai. I gotta be honest when I say I don’t like it,” you frowned.
Valley Fest was his idea, he punched Demitri, and now your boyfriend is getting swooped up into his ideologies. Sure, he was Sensei’s sensei, but you had a feeling he was trying to revert Cobra Kai to its original state.
“At least you’re not getting assaulted because of it,” he spoke.
“I know,” you nodded. “I guess you’re not joining Cobra Kai then,” you stated the obvious.
He shook his head. “I’m thinking of joining Miyagi-Do,” he confessed.
Your brows raised in surprise. You knew if Eli heard of this or anyone from Cobra Kai did, they’d be pissed but all you could find yourself doing was feeling proud of him.
“Their demonstration did seem pretty cool,” you smiled. “I think you’ll fit right in,” you beamed. “And I promise I won’t say anything to Eli.”
“Thanks,” he sighed out in relief. “What about you?” He asked.
“What about me?” Your face scrunched in confusion.
“Isn’t Kreese one of your sensei’s now? Don’t you want to get out before it’s too late for you too?” His voice was filled with so much concern.
“He’s not my sensei,” you shook your head. “I don’t agree with what he believes,” you said. “Besides, someone needs to watch Eli, right?” Your tone was playful.
He agreed. “Sure, I guess. Until he turns completely toxic and takes it out on you,” he warned.
“I’m strong enough to not let that happen,” you cocked a brow. “Miyagi-Do will make you strong, so don’t worry about Eli, I’m proud, okay?”
“Thanks, Y/N,” he smiled.
Later, he offered for you to stay for dinner, which you accepted. It was a nice distraction from the worry you held when it came to your boyfriend. You just hoped he’d change once you talk to him.
~
The next day at the dojo, practice ran like usual.
“The back thrust kick works like this,” Sensei demonstrated.
“What about if your opponent attacks you from behind?” Eli asked.
