Dom or Sub
featuring: Jinrang (Lang Jin), Seongji Yuk
Jinrang (Lang Jin) is an alpha male in the only ways that count: charismatic, devoted and protective. He is a dom by heart, but is inexperienced with sex and romance. His heart hurts every time you cry or flinch as you make love. Growing up the way he has, Jinrang associates sex with evil and filth. The former King of Busan was a degenerate, so everything he represented, everything he indulged in—Jinrang simply can't find those things fun.
He doesn't understand why you want him to hit you; even when you beg for it and promise him it makes you feel good, he holds back a lot. He never loses himself in pleasure and will stop when your reactions sound too real, even when you don't use your safeword. He will try to be rough because that's what you want, but he never crosses the line in the secret way you want him to. I don't think there's any changing that. He's a softie through and through.
"I can't do it, I'm sorry. I can't hurt you even if you beg me," he'll say, sitting on the side of the bed and staring at the wall. What do you mean you want him to slap you across the face? And take you from the back while he chokes you with his arm?
Even if it's pretend, that is too much for his heart.
Seongji Yuk is the one true sub among the Lookism men. Out of all the adult guys in the main cast, he's the most innocent, having the least amount of interaction with the opposite sex. Before you, romantic love and sexuality were a foreign concept to him. He knows how sex works, though admittedly, when he first heard of it, he thought it was so ridiculous that surely someone was pranking him.
He can be prickly, but I don't think he's as intimidating as the other Kings, so it's no surprise to you just how big of a sweetheart he is.
His earliest memory was him trying to desperately survive. He had to harden his heart and he lived in isolation for years. Even when he opened up to his self-proclaimed students, a big part of him was sealed away.
But then you came along and changed all of that. Instead of running away in disgust, you kissed every single finger on his hands and giggled at his extra toes—"four more reasons why I love you," you said.
Hold his face between your palms and he will melt like butter. For reference, behold this image of a cheetah finally seeing the appeal of domestication. That is exactly it, you've domesticated the Monster of Cheonliang Mountain.
Seongji is at his happiest worshipping you and following your lead.
