Synopsis:
If God is real, then He has one hell of a sense of humor.
Life hasn’t been perfect. There were ups and downs, times where you wished you were born as someone else, someone prettier or richer or more talented, but you had reached a point where you were content. Happy, even. A promotion abroad, a new apartment with no roommates, delicious paychecks and what does the Big Guy do? He kills you. What’s more pathetic is that you died choking on chicken skin while celebrating your new life of independence.
Just when you were an official, proper, working adult of society, the universe spat in your face and now you were back to square one.
No, scratch that, you didn’t regress—you reincarnated as the only known daughter of a yakuza boss. Sounds fancy, you know, but this is no romance manga. Actually, it’s somehow worse, because your baby brother is the infamous Gun Park.
Your Character Settings: AFAB, older half-sister of Gun Park, civilian, medical professional
Content/Trigger Warnings: swearing, typical Lookism violence, sexual themes, mind the warnings for individual chapters
Other Tags: slice of life, isekai, reincarnation/rebirth, sister complex, reverse harem/why choose, fluff, comedy, humor
💋 : smut (from mild to explicit)
Author's Note: There is no deep plot to this. This is just fluffy family stuff with Gun Park being protective of you, his older sister and a magnet for hot weirdos. There is some occasional smut. NO BROTHER-SISTER INCEST. Also, some ages have been lifted.
IMPORTANT: I started this AU during the early chapters of the Incheon arc. Don't think. Just enjoy the ride.

Gun, did you miss me?

Disclaimer: The image used does not belong to me. It is a screencapture from Ep. 505 - Lookism, Webtoon.
CONTENT WARNING: This post contains mild suggestive themes.
JAMES LEE
James notices it within exactly two seconds of you walking into the living room.
He says nothing. But you've managed to distract him.
His eyes trace the soft outline beneath your oversized tee.
He will play it incredibly cool.
He’ll sit back on the couch, crossing his legs, but his eyes will track your every movement as you stretch over the coffee table to grab the remote.
When you sit next to him, he casually drapes his arm over the back of the sofa, but his fingers gently hook into the collar of your tee, pulling you against him.
"You seem comfortable."
"Is that a problem?"
"Quite the opposite."
GUN PARK
The moment you walk past him in a thin, bra-less tank top, his eyes instantly fixate on the subtle bounce and the distinct outline of your nipples pressing against the fabric.
He stares right at them.
"You do know that they exist for support, right?"
"But they're a pain in the... chest?"
Gun smirks.
But as soon as the bell rings or you need to step out, he will literally take whatever oversized hoodie or jacket he’s currently wearing, toss it over your head like a blanket, and tell you to put it on.
If you complain that it’s uncomfortable, he’ll just glare.
"Only I get to see you like this, understood?".
GOO KIM
Goo is sitting on the floor playing a video game when you walk by to grab a snack.
He accidentally catches a glimpse of the unmistakable shape beneath your shirt, completely misses a combo, and the screen loudly blares GAME OVER.
He drops the controller, his jaw hitting the floor as his glasses slide right down the bridge of his nose.
"Are we... are we just letting the girls breathe today? What's the occasion?!"
"Shut tf up, Goo. I'm just feeling hot."
"..."
"Stop staring weirdo."
"Baby I'm trying, really! But they're staring back at me."
JOHAN SEONG
He’s sitting on your bed, trying to fix a strap on his bag, when you sit down right across from him in a loose, baggy pajama top.
As soon as he catches sight of it, his face goes full on medical emergency mode.
He violently snaps his head to the side and stared aggressively at the wall.
"Everything alright Johan?"
"JOHAN! ARE YOU OKAY-"
Buddy's literally having a nosebleed.
"Johan, calm down! It's just my pajamas; besides we're at home."
After you clean him up, he gets extremely touchy.
Wrapping his arms around your waist while you cook. Or constantly touching you while you guys sit on the couch watching movies.
SAMUEL SEO
He’s pouring himself a glass of water when you walk into the kitchen.
His eyes immediately lock onto your chest,
He sets the glass down with a heavy thud. He moves towards you.
"Are you doing this on purpose?"
"Why is something wrong?"
His eyes drop to your chest.
"Ohhhh. I don't think this should be a problem. You walk around like this all the time-"
He doesn't let you complete the sentence.
He hooks his fingers under the hem of your shirt, lifting it just enough to see your boobs.
"Smart choice. Saves me the trouble of taking it off later."
DANIEL PARK (OG)
Poor, sweet Daniel.
You two are sitting on the floor studying when you stretch your arms over your head, lifting your shirt just enough to show that you're completely free underneath.
Daniel looks up, sees the distinct movement, and his eyes go wiiiiide.
He lets out a high-pitched squeak, as his hands fly up to cover his face.
"Y/N! Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to look, I swear!"
He’s currently sweating through his clothes because he doesn't know where to look.
Even after you laugh and tell him it’s fine, he keeps his eyes glued strictly to his textbook, his fingers trembling as he turns the pages.
He keeps stealing tiny glances when he thinks you aren't looking, his heart beating so loud you can practically hear it.
JAKE KIM
Jake’s lying on the bed when you walk in, and the second he notices your bra-less look
A slow, incredibly fond grin spreads across his face.
He opens his arms wide, patting the empty spot on his chest.
"Come here the love of my life."
The moment you slide into his embrace, he wraps his large arms securely around your back, his hands sliding under your shirt to press directly against your bare skin.
He lets out a contented sigh, burying his face in your hair.
"I love it when you're this relaxed around me. Makes me feel like you're officially all mine."
- So he’s really shocked when you refuse his money
- At first he didn’t really care, if you wanted to use your own money it wasn’t any of his business
- But then it starts to irk his inferiority complex
- Did you think he can’t provide for you? Does he not have enough money? Do you have more money than him? So you think you’re better than him?
- Eventually, every time you refuse his money or pay for him he turns bitter and would throw backhanded “compliments” at you to make himself feel better
DG/JAMES LEE
- He would find it really refreshing
- As an idol, people were only around him because of his money and popularity
- But seeing you refuse to take his money makes him see you as genuine
- He still offers to pay but doesn’t insist if you say no
- He’ll still spoil you with gifts and flowers tho because he thinks there isn’t anything else he can offer to you
ZACK
- He also thinks he should always pay for his woman and would absolutely love to buy you food and gifts
- So when you refuse to let him pay he’s a bit hurt and paranoid thinking you don’t like him
- You explain to him how important your independency and values are to you and he understands and respects it
- But he won’t give up and will always try to pay for you
- Specially if it’s a date, he will try extra hard to not let you pay but still respect your boundaries
There wasn't a label on your relationship. Best friends? It sounded kind of childish, but you liked to call him that. It didn't really matter at the end of the day. It was always you and him.
☆ GOO
"Not fair," you said in a dissatisfied tone, your eyes fixed on the screen. You knew it would end like that. He was good at this game, after all.
Goo was grinning from ear to ear, looking as happy as if he'd won millions. One arm was wrapped around your shoulders, his fingers slowly tracing circles over your bare skin in an oddly soothing way.
"Aww, look at that face!" his free hand reached up, and you gently slapped it away before he could pinch your cheek. "So grumpy! Do you want me to let you win? Hmm? Want me to?"
You gave him an unimpressed glance, making him giggle like a schoolgirl. What was his problem?
Both of his arms wrapped around you, pushing you back against the couch. He was all touchy without trying to do anything more, though you could feel the warmth of his palm resting against your stomach. He wasn't even trying to support his own weight, practically lying on top of you.
What an asshole.
"Get your sweaty little hands off me! I just got out of the shower," your voice came out muffled beneath his excessive weight.
"Yep. And you used my shampoo," Goo replied with a wide smile, nuzzling his nose against your neck to catch his own scent on you. For some reason, knowing you walked around smelling like him made him strangely happy.
Then his tongue briefly brushed your pulse point and you squealed.
"Ew! Ew, ew, ewww... Fuck off, Goo!"
☆ JAMES
You held one suit hanger against your body, humming quietly. Then you picked up another with your free hand. Both looked fine, yet something still felt off.
Your eyes met his in the mirror as he watched you with his usual calm expression.
"What do you think?" you asked, turning toward him. You held up one suit, then the other, giving him a chance to compare them.
"Both are good," he said simply, never taking his eyes off your silhouette. "You would look beautiful even without anything at all."
You shrugged, turning back to the mirror.
"Liar. You haven't seen me without clothes, so you can't say that."
James's lips twitched. A tiny movement, not quite a smile. Slowly, he stood up from the armchair and took several steps toward you. Your eyes met again in the mirror.
"... Maybe something flashier? I bet you still have something left from your idol days."
James glanced at the ceiling, as if he was either thinking or quietly rolling his eyes at your attitude.
He raised a hand and gently tilted your chin upward. The touch was light and playful, almost like a reminder not to push your luck too far.
Before you could say anything else, he stepped back until your view was filled by his broad shoulders.
"The second one. Your legs look better in the second one."
You hummed, glancing down at your legs.
Do they?
☆ JAKE
Jake looked up as you placed a plastic bag in front of him. The smell of something warm and delicious immediately reached him.
"What is it?" he asked, though his hands were already unpacking the bag and peeking into the containers inside.
"Leftovers," you said simply, leaning your hip against the table. "I visited your mom and she gave me some."
His brows shot up in surprise. You hadn't told him that. His mom hadn't mentioned it either. Well, in her defense, it wasn't like she called him very often.
"Mom? Like my mom?" You nodded, and Jake stared at the food with a bewildered expression. "Why wasn't I invited?"
"I dunno... She only asked me to come over."
At your dismissive shrug, Jake chuckled and shook his head. Now you were visiting his mom without him even being invited? The last time he checked, he was her only kid.
"Okay, that's kind of cute, but I'm definitely asking her about it next time," Jake said with his usual easygoing smile as he stood up.
One hand settled warmly against your lower back while the other lifted the bag into the air. He gave it a little shake, smiling even wider.
"Will you keep me company?" His thumb drifted just a little lower, enough that the touch no longer felt entirely friendly. He was genuinely happy that you and his mother got along so well. That fact made him wonder what if...
"Yeah. Do you want something to drink?"
Jake nodded, his smile never leaving his lips. His eyes carried something warm and difficult to describe.
"Sure thing, bestie."
Hand slipped a little lower as he guided you out of the room.

Lookism Boys & How They Flirt When They Actually Like You - Part 2
Summary: Disaster boy behavior but make it endearing, Part 2 Electric Boogaloo 🤪 Here’s Part 1
Author’s Notes: I already had a part 2 in mind so it’s nice that I got comments for more. After work yesterday night I immediately started on this part so I hope y’all enjoy. It’s still not NSFW
Word Count: 697
REQUESTS ARE OPEN!!!
Eli
Flirting Style: Smooth, attentive, and giving
Gives you the quiet eye contact and sweet half-smile that melts panties
Lowkey flexes how good he is with kids (“Yenna made you a drawing… I helped her, but don’t tell her I said that”)
Will say “you’re beautiful” once, then act like it was nothing. But it wasn’t nothing because
His love language is offering you food and asking how your day was with full attention and active listening.
Protective but not overbearing. Will bodyblock a falling shelf and act like it’s just another Tuesday.
Bonus: If you touch his arm while laughing? Play with his hair? Be a good presence in Yenna’s life? Game over. He’s yours.
Gun
Flirting Style: Intense eye contact and threats that sound like proposals
“I don’t need a partner. I need someone who can keep up.” (Translation: I want you.)
Doesn’t smile, but you know when he’s into you because he starts looking at you like you’re prey, and HE IS STARVING.
Gifts you things that don’t feel romantic… until you realize no one else gets them. Like a new phone. Or a whole ass penthouse (to act grown in).
“You need discipline” - he’ll say after fixing your form at the gym, his hands lingering longer than necessary.
Bonus: He purposely loses at video games he’s previously beaten. Not because he can’t win, but because your grin when you win is more satisfying than victory.
Goo
Flirting Style: Chaos and catcalling, but make it charming
Will call you every nickname in the book. “Sugar tits,” “baby shark,”or “wifey” - he’s def testing which one makes you react.
Pulls pranks just to hear you laugh… or scream. Either works for him.
Gets jealous easily but pretends it’s a joke (“Oh, he looked at you? I’ll murder him, Y/N. kidding! Unless…”)
If he’s quiet for longer than 10 seconds around you, it means he’s either in love or planning something stupid. Or both.
Bonus: He’ll flirt with everyone to throw you off. But only you get the soft, sleepy Goo voice at 3AM.
James Lee / Diego Kang
Flirting Style: Elegant, detached… until you touch him.
Doesn’t flirt traditionally. He just shows up, stares at you from across the room, and somehow leaves you breathless. (Not too far from canon lol)
Compliments feel like confessions: “You’re a distraction. And I hate distractions. But I keep looking at you.”
Will not initiate physical touch, but if you do? He’s not letting go for anything.
Dangerously polite. Opens doors, holds your coat, corrects your form at the private gym he booked for just the two of you. You’ll think he’s just being nice until he says something like - “I dreamt about you...again”
Bonus: One kiss and he starts spiraling privately. He’ll still act cool. He’s not lol
Ryuhei Kuroda
Flirting Style: Bully-to-lover with unhinged fixation energy
Constantly bothers you. Flicks your hair. Steals your pen. Won’t stop poking your buttons.
“Dumbass. You’re too cute when you’re mad.”
Treats you like a game until the moment someone else flirts with you, then it’s not a game anymore.
You get under his skin in ways he hates. And craves. He’d rather eat nails than admit he’s blushing.
Bonus: He’ll fake-disgusted moan if you touch him - “Ew, you’re touching me? Are we dating now or something?” (he hopes yes)
Hudson
Flirting Style: Gentle loyalty with hints of angst
He watches you with sharp eyes but speaks softly. He doesn’t talk much but when he does, it’s only to you. He also never brings up his street life because he thinks it’ll ruin how you see him (it won’t lol)
“Need anything?” - sounds sooo casual, but it means he’s already halfway to solving your problems before you finish answering.
The kind to memorize your favorite snacks, the exact way you like your tea, your allergies. Acts like it’s no big deal. (He gives your snack choices +100 points even if he doesn’t like them)
Protective as hell. If you so much as stub your toe, he’s ready to declare war on gravity.
Bonus: When he finally touches you, it’s hesitant and reverent—like you’re sacred. His ears might go red.
This was super fun to write! I wanted to add Sinu but I couldn’t think of what to say idk. Requests are open so have at it. BYE!!!
Eli's totally not sulking a little and getting clingier. You're getting the wrong idea. Yeah, he hovers a lot, but he always hovers. He simply wants to be close to you.
In all honesty, Eli tries his best to not make it your problem. He knows it's his own problems more than anything when he doesn't feel enough for you. It results in him trying to be more helpful in general. Mostly as a way to prove himself. To you? To himself? He doesn't know. He just has to be better.
Daniel would totally let you know, but he's extremely lighthearted about it. He keeps it mostly playful and teasing when he "interrogates" you about the other person, but he'd never needle you so much that it becomes a hindrance.
It's pretty easy to reassure him, too, just grab his face and kiss him silly. He'll forget what he was jealous about almost instantly.
Not jealous, only protective.
Jake is not jealous by nature. Like, yeah, he has immaculate taste, you're hot, capable, and amazing in general. He'd not be the only one to notice that. At most, he'd get teasingly "jealous" where he feigns dramatic and asks you if you're leaving him for someone else. He's very "haha lmao" about it in general.
Seongji is a little... too dense to get jealous. He knows something is amiss, but he cannot pinpoint what's wrong. Obviously, he's not dumb by any means, but if he has a cause to actually get jealous, then something really troubling is happening to your relationship.
He'd be pretty straightforward about asking if there's anything wrong, but he trusts you implicitly, so verbal reassurance would be enough for him.
Lmao what?
Hell would freeze over the day Gun gets jealous LOL... if you're up to anything sus in his eyes, he'd just give you a raised eyebrow, challenging if you really want to go there. He's possessive, sure, but only if someone aggravated you directly. If you choose to play with him, well, he's not one to chase someone who doesn't want to be his.
Pink and Red James are also generally too self-reassured to get jealous. He's so full of himself at those points in his life that he can't get over his ego to get jealous. If someone hits on you, he'd just have that condescending smirk on his lips. Like yeah, he knows they can't ever be to his level. Try harder, dweeb.
Do you really want to make him jealous?
Black James would be easier to get ticked off. If he has a hand on you at that moment, he'd immediately remind you of his proximity. Whether it's through looming or gripping your thigh, he'll make his point known. His patience is pretty thin when it comes to his, well, ownership of you.
Will use any excuse to be annoying
Goo isn't even jealous; he just wants to be annoying. He will pester and cling. Do everything possible to get into your space as much as possible. Will steer you away immediately, yap your ears off, glaring at the other person all dramatic. All of this is mostly to embarrass you in public; feel free to smack him.
You pluck the phone out of his hands. He makes no move to block you, though he does throw you a dirty look.
This narcissistic idiot, you sigh. He needs to stop googling himself and reading all the trash so called journalists are writing.
But it's still his own stupid fault.
"If you stop running after these minors and get back into the studio to plan a comeback, the media wouldn't call you a has-been."
"Fuck the media," James replies, sullen and his bratty self coming out to play. Even if he's the one that's denying interviews and appearances, changing his look with no consideration for his merch, and there's absolutely no signs of any new music on the horizon.
"And can you stop obsessing over these 5th gens!" James crosses his arms, manspreads further, and absolutely refuses to look at you as you scroll through the forum open on the screen, rolling your eyes at all the trolling comments he has left over the last twenty minutes calling these new idols talentless in increasingly creative ways.
"Ok," you click the screen off and drop the phone into your bag. "I'm officially confiscating this."
He's about to say something, but catches the look on your face and shuts his mouth instead.
"Yeah," you smirk, "that's what I thought."
.
.
"Are these tampons?" you ask as Ryuhei carefully pushes something up each nostril, stemming your nose bleed.
He keeps his face carefully blank.
"Ryuhei," your voice takes on a dangerous tone.
He tries for a reassuring smile that only raises your suspicion further.
Then when you feel the telltale string dangle past your lips, you shove him away.
"Why the fuck didn't you get me tissues?!" You yank them out and fresh droplets drip down your shirt.
"They absorb blood better." He looks at you, fond and exasperated as if you're being a silly goose right now and you feel the urge to hit him. "Why wouldn't I get tampons for your nose bleed? Hold still, cutie pie, let me put another one up-"
"Fuck off!"
.
.
"You're an idiot, a waste of space and a waste of my time. You thought you could be my equal? I already know you're going to amount to nothing. Your life will be meaningless and pathetic-"
"Excuse me?" You say and Gun stiffens.
His fingers still move in a blur on the gaming controller-
A moment later his victory is announced on the screen and the distinct sound of a kid bursting into tears rings out from his headphones.
"Were you shit talking a child?"
Gun pretends he can't hear you.
.
.
"What are you doing?"
Jake's voice drifts over your shoulder and you still.
"Is that.. are you trying to learn that dance?"
How do you admit to Jake that yes you are, that you spent the last hour shimmying to a video trying to learn a viral dance and you still don't really get it.
"You're half a beat off." He tells you and you finally whip around to face him.
"How long have you been watching me?"
"Long enough," he grins, leaning against the doorway. "Start the music and I'll show you."
"What?"
"Just do it."
For the next minute, you watch Jake dance in sync to the choreography, flowing from one move to the next and timing the gyrating with the shoulders move perfectly.
Damn, he must have spent hours practicing this and you have never been more impressed.
"Amazing, Sir!" Brad's voice calls out.
You turn around to see him, Lineman, Jason and Jerry sincerely applauding with the latter wiping a proud tear from his eye.
