Chapter 492
Another thing about kings having a kid is when attending a teacher parents conference meeting.
Okay your student got into a fight? Wtf you gon do when these guys pull up? 😭
Those who'd be reasonable: Jichang, Taesoo, Jinrang
Kinda like just stares at you: Seokdu, Gongseob, Diego
Hope you wear a safety suit: Jaegyeon, Gitae
about james lee ╏ taesoo ma + first gen kings
𓇼 summary: taesoo finally found james lee — he figures he should tell the other kings.
𓇼 details: no reader, takes place after the dg vs taesoo fight (one night arc)
𓇼 wc: 1.4k
𓇼 A/N: thanks to the anon who gave me the idea! there's not much source material for any of them, but...i tried my best to write them in character (-.-)
!!! we don't know how long jaegyeon + dg have been working together. if it's revealed he already knew dg's identity during one night arc...we can just say he's playing dumb 😝
Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 created the group 'ABOUT JAMES LEE'
Jichang Kwak Taesoo? JaegyeoN❤️ Na 🚗 Oh ffs Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 Hello everyone. You know I wouldn't be contacting you all for no reason. I'm recovering in Gangbuk right now and I'd rather not have a group face time. This is about James Lee SEOKDU WANG Yeah we can see that. Thanks for making us look like stalkers Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 Shut up. You know as well as I do how much that prick terrorised us, which is why my people in Ansan made a plan to lure him out. I found James Lee Jichang Kwak You have? JaegyeoN❤️ Na 🚗 Seriously??? DAEHO TEMPLE 🧘☸️ Greetings 😊 This monk doesn't indulge in technology, but it must've been Buddha's will that this phone fell into my hands...What's this about James Lee? Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 Hello Gongseob. Still putting up this sham I see DAEHO TEMPLE 🧘☸️ It must also be Buddha's will to choke you with my prayer beads 😊😊 Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 I'll snap off that prosthetic leg while you're at it DAEHO TEMPLE 🧘☸️ You talk as if you don't have a glass eye 😊 Jichang Kwak Jesus Christ, how did you two children manage to rule your regions? Taesoo, you have us all here, so get to the point. Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 Right, James isn't just in hiding like we all thought. He's taken on a completely new identity, one that's very visible to the public...essentially, he's hiding in plain sight. SEOKDU WANG A new identity that's public? Why would James risk that? Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 No idea. But he fooled me for a good while when I first saw him Jichang Kwak But the bottom line is you saw him, right? So who is he? Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 Yes...and I fought with him. Everyone...this is James Lee
Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗
taesoo stares at the screen in confusion. no one sent anything for a good while.
until finally:
DAEHO TEMPLE 🧘☸️ 😧😧😧 Jichang Kwak ...You sent the wrong picture JaegyeoN❤️ Na 🚗 I don't even wanna know why you have this saved. Aren't you a little too old to be listening to him? 😬 SEOKDU WANG Exposing yourself in such a way...I'd be embarrassed if I were those Ansan kids Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 What the hell??? No you idiots. This is James Lee. He's been hiding as Diego Kang, better known as DG, a famous idol.
taesoo blinks as the chat goes silent again.
until...
JaegyeoN❤️ Na 🚗 🤣🤣😭😭 Jichang Kwak Taesoo... SEOKDU WANG Go vegan and these hallucinations won't happen Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 WHAT??? I've seen him with my own two eyes, this man is James Lee...you guys don't believe me? DAEHO TEMPLE 🧘☸️ Hoho don't you mean one eye? 😊 And...lying goes against the 4th precept... Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 Fuck you firstly. Secondly, WHY would I lie about this? DG is James Lee and he came to Gangbuk once he saw his name was being used...that was the plan to lure him out.
DAEHO TEMPLE 🧘☸️
Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 What would I gain from making this up? JaegyeoN❤️ Na 🚗 I dunno but I always knew you were weird. No sane man willingly shits in the mountains Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 ??? You know I don't live there, right? And that's not the point. I'm telling the truth. Hudson was there too SEOKDU WANG All I'm saying is...you're the most vengeful towards James out of everyone here...so it's not impossible to think you got confused and beat up an innocent celebrity... Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 WHAT??? THAT'S ABSOLUTELY NOT WHAT HAPPENED
DAEHO TEMPLE 🧘☸️
Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 Send a Buddhist quote one more time I dare you Jichang Kwak Everyone...let's stop bickering for a moment. Taesoo, why don't you just tell us everything that happened? Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 Right...so basically, Hudson made a plan to lure out James by having a crew in Gangbuk use his name. James was obviously hiding for a reason, so he'd want to take out the threats to his concealment. DAEHO TEMPLE 🧘☸️ Little Hudson! 😄 His night club in Ansan is fantastic...or so I've heard. Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 😐 Anyway, it worked because James ended up coming. But before that, some 2nd generation kiddies were there...it's surprising but they were quite strong...I felt like I was back in my younger days. SEOKDU WANG Going toe to toe with the 2nd generation...this would never happen in Suwon Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 Whatever. It got interrupted when this guy with pink hair smashed through the window and started fighting me...he did scarily remind me of James but I didn't think too much of it JaegyeoN❤️ Na 🚗 I'm surprised you didn't recognise someone as famous as DG...then again, it makes sense given where you live 🤔 Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 I SAID I DON'T LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS. And he was wearing some ski mask so I couldn't recognise him either way Jichang Kwak How did you know he was James? Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 That fucker repeated the same lines during our fight back then...that's when I knew. And when he took off his mask, I saw James' face in him. He didn't deny it either, in fact, he confirmed it for me. DAEHO TEMPLE 🧘☸️ Hmmm... Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 Listen...I know it's hard to believe, but ignore the pink hair and flashy accessories and just look at his face. Don't tell me he doesn't look like James.
taesoo sighs as the chat goes silent again, bracing himself for whatever mockery they throw at him.
but to his pleasant surprise:
SEOKDU WANG ...He does look like him JaegyeoN❤️ Na 🚗 And I always thought that kid had good looks...he could've definitely passed as an idol DAEHO TEMPLE 🧘☸️ They look alike, but how come no one else has noticed? Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 This weirdo changed his entire personality too. He's way more calm and stoic, not the cocky guy we saw back then. SEOKDU WANG Hang on, how did the fight go? If you're recovering in Gangbuk, does that mean you lost? Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 Well what do you think?
taesoo rolls his eyes as the radio silence returns. until eventually:
JaegyeoN❤️ Na 🚗 🤣🤣😭😭 Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 What is it now? JaegyeoN❤️ Na 🚗 YOU GOT BEAT BY SOMEONE WHO TWERKS FOR TEENAGE GIRLS 🤣🤣😭😭 SEOKDU WANG I just watched one of his performances...Taesoo...this is a new low DAEHO TEMPLE 🧘☸️ Defeated by James even after forgoing his identity...this too, must be Buddha's will Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 I hope you all choke. Unlike you, I can admit when I've lost fair and square, no matter my opponent. JaegyeoN❤️ Na 🚗 I bet you're crying behind the screen right now Jichang Kwak Stop it everyone. Let's not kick a man when he's already down. Taesoo has suffered enough humiliation Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 ? I just said I wasn't feeling humiliated but thanks JaegyeoN❤️ Na 🚗 I don't get it though, why would James change his whole persona? It can't just be because of the first generation…and he must've gotten help from someone to become DG SEOKDU WANG Wait, didn't he say 'join our group' when trying to recruit Seongji to that 4 major crews thing? Could it be them? Or one of them? Jichang Kwak I think you're bang on the money Seokdu. I have a hunch about why James went into hiding…and who helped him become Diego Kang. JaegyeoN❤️ Na 🚗 Woah. I feel like we're in a detective movie 😆 We should rename this group to 'Incheon Investigations' Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 I'm not changing it. And if anything, it should be called 'Ansan Investigations' because I'm the one who brought this up Jichang Kwak Stay on topic for 1 minute, I beg of you. Anyway, thanks for telling us Taesoo. I'm going to try discreetly look into this…you've been a big help for my investigations. P.S. - It should be called 'Chungcheong Investigations' because I'm in the police force. Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I had a feeling this was tied into the case you're investigating. James should be brought to justice. You've had to give up so much because of bastards like him. I hope you succeed. Jichang Kwak :) JaegyeoN❤️ Na 🚗 🤢 Get a room. Anyhow, is there a point in keeping this group? Unless you wanna make the right decision and rename it to 'Incheon Investigations' ;) Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 I will not. But there's no harm in keeping it, just in case anything noteworthy comes up. SEOKDU WANG ...This better not be a regular thing Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 Well I hated this conversation more than seeing that pink princess, so it won't! DAEHO TEMPLE 🧘☸️ Taesoo, can I ask you one thing? Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 What is it? DAEHO TEMPLE 🧘☸️ Since you're friendly with DG, would you mind asking him for some concert tickets as a donation to our temple? 😊
Taesoo Ma 👊🏻🐗 has left the group
A/N: jichang x taesoo is my fav rare pair ❤️ taesoo even said he'd investigate jichang's death at his funeral + he was the first king there bruh 🥺😭 ohhh my shayla...

Masterlist -----------------------
Lookism not Gangism
Lookism casts woke up one day and their inhuman strength disappeared✨
Johan: runs an animal shelter except they’re all his babies and won’t let go of any of them. Or a veterinarian if he could stomach studying for 100000000 years. (He’d probably cry at all the sick puppies)
Eli: he has a fruit shop but might accidentally get roped into becoming a model, imagine Kpop idol Eli tho?
Jake: didn’t mean to but he became the leader of small nonprofits to help women, it started as a fundraiser campaign to help women on Bid Deal street, but ended up leading nonprofits due to popular demand
Eugene: it wouldn’t really impact him, he’d still be a girlboss ceo trying to ruin people’s lives but this time he has to do it legally
Jay: a doctor, he wants to treat Daniel’s injuries after all
Daniel: works as a reporter exposing all the shady things companies are doing, but people are too focus on pretty he looks crying on camera
Vasco: he loves animals in general and he’d definitely be a zookeeper, he got fired for trying to kidnap a kangaroo tho
Zack: competitive boxer as a day job but is really a full time simp
Warren: helps out at the fruit store but for some reason I think he might get drag into some secret agent stuff
Samual: he was slaying it as a ceo, so i think he would still be a ceo, he likes having power over people so maybe even a politician
Gun: forever stuck in prison, prison gang leader?
Goo: scam artist and a really good one at that
Taesoo: forest ranger, he likes being in the middle of nowhere anyways
Seokdu: organic farmer, now he can grow his own food, imagine needing to make an irrigation channel so he use his head to dig it
Jichang: still a officer in the countryside, he’s grown to like the peaceful life, or maybe he would become a detective
Jaegyeon: professional car racer, but now he’s in debt for causing serious property damage, he is a terrible driver after all
Seongji: owns a sweets store, he only makes candy in the back where no one can see him
Gitae: stills a drug lord but now he face more opposition due to his lack of brute strength
James: hates being an idol but he will forever be stuck as one, just now he cant outrun the stalkers

Hi I really like the fluffy fics you do and was wondering if can I request a fic for the Gen 1 kings where they do the challenge where the parent lays their head on their babies lap to see their reaction. Their babies are really affectionate/ cuddly/ or babbling to them. How would they reach and would they be bragging about it.
A/N: Hi! Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so glad you enjoy the fluffy fics I write—it means the world to me. 🥰

Kitae Kim - King of Seoul
Kitae confidently sets the mood, laying his head gently on his baby’s lap, his sharp features softening for the moment. His baby blinks at him curiously before letting out a joyful giggle and patting his hair, clearly fascinated by how “pretty” their dad looks.
“You like that, don’t you?” Kitae chuckles, his grin widening as his baby leans in and starts babbling nonsense like they’re holding a deep conversation. He basks in the attention, and later, with his usual charisma, brags to the others.
“Looks like being the King of Seoul extends to being the king of their heart,” he says smugly.
