Doppelgangers Shenanigans (Jealousy, Jealousy Version)
It starts with bhjj, but that has gotten better because not only has Inho absolutely tortured lbh, he also has his very own anti-lbh/anti-bhjj online community to help him. Yes, he's that unhinged. No, Junho doesn't know about it (yet). But they're also no longer working together on a project that sounds suspiciously like his job and makes him question if Gihun wrote a book about it or is also haunting that toothless director.
He also discovered wsjj but jws took care of that one so thank you for your service jws, Inho truly appreciates it. Not only did you get rid of yourself, you also showed him that he's not the only idiot out there who fumbled an absolute catch so badly.
But then he meets Honggi and he asks for a job and well he can't say no to all that, can he? But in true Honggi fashion, he brings his bestie to help him. And Inho is not dumb, okay? He immediately clocks that their so called friendship is a little bit weird. Junho has to hold him back multiple times because if Inho goes to jail for hitting someone decades younger than him it'll be over for the both of them.
Shaman Update: Turns out, the shaman told Inho that Gihun always wanted a house close to the ocean and maybe if he builds one and "let's" Gihun's spirit live in it then the curse will stop. So Inho listens to her and looks for someone who can design him a house like that and you know who he meets? jj's character from il mare.
Junho is trying to take himself and the baby as far away from this ridiculous situation as they can but Inho has had enough because if he has to suffer then so does he because if he only had gotten to the island sooner then none of this would be happening. No, he does not see the fault in his logic. Junho has tried to reason with him multiple times and it is useless.
Bonus: Inho goes to get coffee one day for Honggi (and only for Honggi) only to discover that there's another Gihun doppelganger who is an actor (jj's character from nice to not meet you). He buys the whole display because he's supportive (and rich).
Extra Bonus:
Junho, to Inho & jws: How do you lose a Gihun?
Inho & jws: I forgot to cherish him 😔
TOOTHLESS DIRECTOR IM HOLLERING 😭😭😭😭😭
ANON, THIS IS SO AMAZING!!! 💖💖😩😩😩
inho creates an anti bhjj tumblr, insta, twt, yt AND tiktok account, all to expose how toxic they are 😤 he's lying through his teeth and making up ridiculous stuff abt bh to make him seem like a devil (he's never tarnish babygirl jj's name tho).
he then meets honggi's fuckass friend and is huffing and puffing bc what do u mean, ws junior is here now??? junho fr has to stop him from getting into a fist fight with dochul 💀 let's be real, inho would win that easil but junho tells him that gihun wouldn't want it and its enough to pacify inho slightly....
sung-hyun (jj's character from "il mare") is an incredible twist! inho wants to throw him off a cliff and straight into the ocean when he sees him but he figures that he first needs to make sure that gihun stops haunting him :/ he loves him malewife but he cannot keep getting chased by gihun doppelgangers, its bad for his health
but trust that when he discover yet another gihun variant, in the conveniece store as he buys coffee of all places, he wants the ground to swallow him. he knew he should have told honggi to get his own coffee but inho is soft for him. junho is trying to smother his laughter; he's around bc he's scared inho will hurt someone with his insanity. he's upset at him for blaming him for gihun's death but he loves his brother too much to leave him alone (and also he lowkey also believes that gihun's spirit is haunting them both).
also, im crying at the last part bc me and @rhubarbspring have talked abt the inhun/wsjj cosmic connection so many times.... they truly are two idiots who fumbled absolute baddies 🤧
I see that you're an mcu fan so I'm sure you can picture what I'm about to tell you. Imagine that Inhun are taken from the games and end up stuck in a place with all the other ljj homoerotic situationships from all these other movies (new world, deliver us from evil, city of the rising sun, hunt, the thieves, etcetera) and they all like Gihun because he's different from their Gihun lookalike (he's not as grumpy as Jasung, he doesn't have a bad history with jungdo, etcetera) and Gihun is trying to be kind to these men but they're also overwhelming him and Inho is trying to fight these men because if they didn't take good care of their Gihun lookalike then that's their fault but this particular one is his and his only.
Bonus points if they all noticed that there's two sets of men that lookalike except one is younger than the other and isn't that funny?
i have to say, i'm LIVING for all the gihun doppelganger / ljj characters multiverse asks that i've been getting 🙏😌💖
i completely get you, anon, do not worry 🙌
let's pick jj's most intense homoerotic situationships: pyongho and jungdo from "hunt", honggi and dochul from "city of the rising sun", ray and innam from "deliver us from evil", and jasung and jung chung from "new world".
the funniest thing abt these is that there are just the same two men (jws and hjm) recycled 😭😭 so u know that inho would immediately clock that this boxer looks like this ansp chief's son, or that the mobster and the hitman are almost identical.... he kinda feels like an outsider bc obviously gihun's doppelgangers have a type and its not him :/
poor gihun, like you say, is really overwhelmed bc he's not at all what these men want or are looking for. in fact, the only one who seems to make the most sense is dochul, the youngest around. his gihun doppelganger is also a gambler who owns money to bad ppl, steals from others and even likes to bet on horses....
that one is close enough to the actual gihun that inho is immediately on the fence. but gihun does not seem to particularly like any of these men and is, in fact, inching closer and closer to inho, as if to seek out his protection. and you know damn well that inho is gonna puff out his chest and protect his malewife, even against guys those two giants.
anyway, the only way this can end is inho and the other guys all fighting each other and, realistically, innam winning bc he's a hitman. however, he does not want gihun, he wants his nonbinary baddie back 😤 i do think inho would be in second place, tied with jungdo. dochul, poor baby, is last, bc he cannot win against a mobster lol.
It's so funny how most of Ljj's homoerotic situationships in his works don't have a happy ending. They're either dead (jung chung, sangwoo, salesman) , both of them are dead (pyong ho/jung do, il nam/ray) or they don't get together (ponytail guy from feelings). idk the only happy ending I can think of is hong ki and dochul l think? Lmao
and the way that honggi and dochul are only happy bc jj and ws told the director to not kill them 😭😭 the original ending had dochul dying during his final match and the director had even thought abt honggi actually drowning :/
not even our himbos were gonna escape jj and his doomed homoerotic situationships nejfivkfmejdifv
even taejun had his old man bf die on him, like at this point i need jj to lock in and stop signing up for tragedies like these cause my heart cant take it anymore 🤧
do-chul meeting hong-gi for the first time and his eyes immediately go to the latter's massive tits and he's like "WOWZA!! THOSE ARE SOME HUGE FUNBAGS. SOME REAL BIG JUGS. BAZOOMBAS. KNOCKERS EVEN." "okay i get it-" "SERIOUSLY WOAH LOOK AT THOSE HONKERS. I NEED TO ASK THIS GIRL I KNOW IF SHE CAN LET YOU BORROW YOU A BRA" "i already am wearing one" "SO YOU'RE SAYING THEY'RE EVEN BIGGER? ... do you lactate..."
RELEASE THE TITTIES!!!!
also honggi wearing a bra??? talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique 🙌
dochul is gonna be sucking on those until he dies, trust
can you talk about honggi and do chul pls 🩷🩷 i need more y them. be as horny and unhinged and/or as sweet as possible
omg yes of course i can!!!
honggi and dochul are my dumb sons, okay? they stupid and i love them 🥰
in fairness, i haven't seen "city of the rising sun" in a while and i don't remember some of the details, so apologies!
now, they def share that bed!! there is no way that this isn't a only one bed + omg they were roommates situation ndjkinfjdkfjvnfj
they are so obssessed with each other it makes me crazy 😩 i especially love dochul's complicated feelings honggi, obviously loving him but hating him for the things he does. him telling mimi to not talk shit abt honggi after he contemplated stealing her money is insane actually.... homosexual behavior 😭
as for horniness - dochul bruises honggi so much during sex bc he cant control his strength, and honggi loves the degradation so much he intentionally eggs dochul on to make him angrier and more frustrated.
