#ryuhei kuroda

[nyanyanihaonyan]

Now that I'm thinking about it, genuinely HOW does time move in Lookism. How long have they been in their final year of high school. Wasn't the Workers Circus take-down only a few months ago (in-plot)?? HOW LONG ARE THEY GONNA BE IN SCHOOL FOR GANG. This has me so lost, especially with Mitsuki and Ryuhei getting engaged SO FAST 😭

[nyanyanihaonyan]

Mitsuki and Ryuhei getting married is just further proof of how when writers lose their original concepts and charm, they'll ruin the roots of their writing. Them getting married just goes against their entire dynamic and really all it does is follow what a lot of other series are doing right now- throwing in useless romantic relationships that do nothing and entertain no one. This isn't even natural between the two characters honestly, when did Mitsuki stop being disgusted by Ryuhei, again...? People throw romance into everything now where it doesn't need to be 😭 It's just a disappointment. Who the FUCK ASKED FOR RYUHEI AND MITSUKI. NO ONE 😭😭 There's so many characters being brought back, and you bring THOSE TWO and do THIS. PTJ get out rn.

Also, female characters in media literally just can't be alone anymore. Why is it that lonely male authors who act as though they're more educated on different demographics can't seem to let most female characters go without romantic involvement or being married off. Like that doesn't complete their character or wrap things up for their involvement in your story, nor does them being a wife or smth make them more likeable or whatever goal he had here. It may not be their intention, but based on how people write women really does show what you think they're here for. They're not here to BE anything other than themselves like the rest of us, but to many, they ARE plot devices or there just to 'complete' male characters. Can we stop forcing straight couples in media, I'm tired of ALL the couples thank you. Men!! Women!! Ok they're individuals, I don't care what they are. Can you work on your characters, please? Instead of these shitty tropes people are tired of seeing? If I wanted romance, I'd read an evil alternate series called Romancism. Not LOOKISM. HAVE WE LOST THE FUCKING PLOT PTJ.

I miss the dog that pissed on Vin Jin's shoes more than I missed those two. FUCK MITSUKI, FUCK VIVI, FUCK THOSE BITCHES. I WANNA SEE MARY! WHEN DOES SHE GET REAL INVOLVEMENT BRUH but yknow one W? I missed Sophia, I'm glad she came back and got to see Daniel again, that's cute (even if it's old news)

I'm also going to state one more obvious thing, the way they were written is beyond shitty. I proposed? Eh, I'm thinking about the fucking. Invitations are sent out? Eh, I'm thinking about the fucking. Your dress? OHHHHH okay I think I get it now, I'm serious. I seriously want it off. RYUHEI WHAT ARE YOU DOING. The fact he's just trying to show off that he's marrying her too 😭🙏 WHAT IS GUN GONNA DO WITH YOUR INVITATION LIL BRO. DOES THAT LOOK LIKE A GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD. NO. Tom Lee not even knowing who Ryuhei is sent me over the edge bro. AND SAMUEL PUT THAT DAMN MAGAZINE DOWN, YOUR HEAD IS ALREADY TOO SMALL FOR YOUR BODY. PUT IT DOWN.

But anyways guys, omg!!! So cute how sweet!! Doesn't Mitsuki look so pretty!!! Gush over the bride!!! We're not forgetting what she did to Sinu, all for nothing. Right.

LOOKISM 587 SPOILERS

It might sound crazy, but I think this marriage between Ryuhei and Mitsuki is a sham. In my head, it makes sense that Mitsuki is staging the marriage as part of a plan to get Sinu back

like, why were Daniel, Jake, Sally, and Warren invited when they were the reason she lost the "love of her life?"

[thepeaklegendoffirstgen]

Could you write hcs ryuhei with a reader who is like emotionless or just stubborn, and that what makes ryuhei love reader more. Ryuhei is practically obsessed with reader e.t.c . (Enemies to lovers, except Ryuhei never considered them enemies and reader doesn't hate him but they look they hate him due to lack of emotions)

🍋‍🟩-anon-you can take ur time on this, no need to rush 🩷

You and Ryuhei first met through a meeting arranged by Eugene. From the very beginning, he was intrigued by you not because you welcomed him, but because you didn’t even spare him a glance, even as he insulted you repeatedly.

He’d stoop as low as saying something wildly inappropriate just to get a reaction out of you. He wouldn’t hesitate to curse at you, right to your face. But you never responded. Why? Were you deaf?

You only ever spoke to him about business. Nothing more. One day, desperate for a reaction, he bluntly said, “Let’s bang.” You simply scoffed and walked away. Why? Why weren’t you flustered? Why didn’t you fall for his charms?

And yet, he noticed how at ease you were around Kenta. That did something to him got him hard, even. That’s just how his brain works. That’s when he knew: you were the one.

From then on, he doubled down. He started pestering you more openly crossing boundaries, throwing cringe pick-up lines, and even blurting out things that came straight from his heart. Still, nothing moved you. No matter what he tried, you remained unbothered. That convinced him that you must hate him.

And for a while, that thought stuck. It made him go quiet.

After the HFBD, he came back injured. You found him silently tending to his wounds. It was the quietest you had ever seen him and for some reason, that stillness drew you in. You sat down beside him, took the bandages from his hand without a word, and began patching him up yourself.

For once, he didn’t say anything. He didn’t want to ruin the moment. When you were done, he looked at you and asked quietly, “Why did you help me if you hate me? Wouldn’t it have been easier if I’d just died?”

You answered plainly, “I never hated you. I would never wish you dead. I’m glad you’re back.”

And for the first time, you smiled at him.

That was it he felt something stir in his chest… and elsewhere. He was happily hard.

A rant about Ryuhei x Yoojin

{Can be platonic/romantic}

{Ryuhei's pov centered}

This post is about Ryuhei x Yoojin so if you happened to dont like this pairing or just dont like rarepairs in general, you can go ahead and scroll

Yes ofc this would contain a few spoilers but it doesnt affect much 🎀

Also my literature ability is not that great so forgive me if my writing sounds weird 😭

So it is rlly evident that Ryuhei's loyalty towards Workers stem from the fact that hes in love w Mitsuki However, I think that at one point his devotion isnt solely about love but rather his bond w his crew members as well

Of course we have some pretty obvious moments where the blonde expressed care for his collegues (him feeling that the meeting is empty w/o Samuel, letting Doo Lee go and considered him as the only Korean he has respected ect.)

But Ryuhei isnt someone whose respect and trust is given easily. Hes an overconfident and cocky character, he never actually listens to someone unless the person talking to him is someone who he held in high regards

The first time we ever saw Yoojin and Ryuhei interact properly was when he was attending a meeting w the chairman. Right away we can see how indifferent they are with each other

(With Ryuhei's indecent manner the whole meeting and Yoojin sarcastic reply to his antics)

After which, the blonde went on and talk shit behind his back, saying he talks too much and hes boring

In the next panel tho, we can somewhat see that Ryuhei was a bit intruige w whatever Yoojin's plan was then quickly reassured himself that Yoojin knows what hes doing

This is a really prominent detail in their dynamic: their trust towards one another

This detail was highly emphasize during the hunt for big deal arc when Yoojin got kidnapped by Johan

When received the news that Yoojin was kidnapped, unlike Mandeok and Yuseong, Ryuhei reaction was rather calm. Imo, this is because he trusted Yoojin's judgement in situations like these and believes that he would find a way to escape. But he still went to save him anyway

Going off track a little but later on, when the fight between Johan and Yuseong started getting dangerous, Ryuhei felt it instantly and started shielding Yoojin, telling him to back away

And after the fight was over, we get this small moment of Yoojin resting his head against Ryuhei's back while riding on the latter motorcycle

There isn't much to talk about here but I just find this form of physical contact and interactions between them endearing 🤭❤

Now back to the main point, here is where id like to focus on the most, Ryuhei being Workers symbol of hope and how significant it is to Yoojin

The instant Gun appear, all of the members of Workers realized immediately that they're fucked. As Gun started terrorizing all of Workers strongest members, all hope seems to be lost. Right then, it was very how agitated Yoojin, begging Gun to stop only for him to say that he can wait until Workers can get up once more. Yoojin has always been protected by Yuseong and Mandeok but now those 2 close friends of his doesnt have the capabilities to fight anymore. Even when Kenta appeared, he too got taken out by Gun easily

This is where Ryuhei comes in

"Dont cry, if you cry, Kagiroi will come for you"

Workers final spark of hope. Gun has stated that if he won the fight against Ryuhei, the crew would disappear. The pressure was there for the blonde and Yoojin ofc, but then Ryuhei called out to the latter and said

"Our genius chairman", in spite of always calling him names like four eyes, glasses, nerd, ect. in Ryuhei's eyes, Yoojin has always been an intelligent individual and put his belief on the crew leader. He knew how hopeless and scared the latter was (which is rlly unlikely to everyone as he has always been this calm and collected person), so he called out for him to think of smth to while he held Gun of for him

Ryuhei himself never knew that DG was gonna come to save Workers, he wholeheartedly believes that he was Workers final wall and that he has to fight for it and he did. He similarly meet the same fate as his other crew members, but thanks to him, Yoojin was able to keep his composure and accelerate his plan of involving the police and DG

There are ofc lots of other moments between them but I picked the hunt for big deal arc because thats where the impact they have on eachother is properly emphasize

Ryuhei believes in Yoojin's role as Workers chairman while Yoojin believes Ryuhei is a symbol of hope for Workers (yes ik everybody thinks that, just let me dream 😔 theres smth special between the two I swear 😭😭😭)

This is kind of a character analysis rather than a rant about a ship but pls bare w me

In conclusion, live laugh love Ryuhei x Yoojin 🌼🌼🌼

[castlephantom]

I think that blonde haired charcters form Lookism sufer form a curse.

The curse: unrequited love

I mean we saw with Goo, Mary and Ryuhei. I'm unsure about Jay, but Jaegyeon has blonde hair (dyied hair) maybe he sufers also form blonde hair curse (oh wait, he was close with Seongji)

Ryuhei Kuroda x Reader: Five Stages of Grief Attraction

G/N. 1.8k. Fluff. Masterlists

The moment you realised you were attracted to Ryuhei, you had to muster all your willpower not to fall to your knees and curse the heavens.

It wasn't your willpower that prevailed. It was the fact you were in a busy store food shopping, and would have likely been manhandled and thrown out by security.

Common sense and public courtesy meant you didn't cause a scene and scream. Instead you went home and sat with your head in your hands for the rest of the day.

There is no way. Absolutely no way you could fall for him.

He's pathetic, he's a pest, he, for some godforsaken reason, has redirected all his previous efforts from Mitsuki to you.

Attaching himself to you when he's not wanted. Constantly by your side. Clingy and annoying and endlessly rambling about this and that. You usually ignore him, but sometimes you hear him talking about going on a date and when you don't respond, he pouts and it earns you a few moments of precious peace. 

Yet despite him being a goofball with you, Ryuhei is an oddly intimidating presence for everyone else and handy for warding away dangers. It's useful, in a way. Having him around.

And maybe he's worn you down, gotten you used to him, because you also find his company, dare you say... comforting-

No. Absolutely not.

Cutting that thought off sharply, you vigorously shake your head and physically slap yourself.

Honestly, what is wrong with you? Ryuhei is not comforting. He is the reason why restraining orders exist.

.

.

Though you can't help but notice the next day that when Ryuhei walks with you, he's always the one positioned next to the road and traffic. 

Or how his body is constantly slightly turned in towards you, shielding you from the crowds and jostling as if it's second nature.

He does it so smoothly and subtly, which is insane to think that Ryuhei can be smooth or subtle, that the only reason you notice is your nerves are on a knife's edge around him these days and you're torn between watching him like a hawk or never looking in his direction at all.

There also seems to be a ton of inside jokes between you two. How did that even happen? 

At one point in time he was just stupid, annoying Ryuhei Kuroda. Now he's still stupid, annoying Ryuhei Kuroda but he can say something innocuous and nonsensical and it will mean something hilarious to the both of you and you'd guffaw together.

Crap.

Not to mention the day after, when the stars aligned to fuck you over even more and you see an old frenemy that your non-confrontational ass still greets as politeness wins out. 

Who makes you uncomfortable and likes to leave a trail of backhanded comments.

Who you must have mentioned before to Ryuhei because suddenly he feels bigger and taller and much more menacing and the other person leaves after a simple "Hi, how you doing?".

You convince yourself it's all just a coincidence.

It's sweet, nonetheless.

You reward him with a few more smiles and he preens.

Shit. This is the opposite of what you want.

.

.

You reason with yourself that the feelings are not mutual.

Or rather, there are no feelings on your side.

That you merely feel flattered at all the attention, his compliments and sweet talk. Even if it's less sweet, and more obscene and disgusting.

(Disgusting. In a curious way. That makes you wonder what he would actually be like in bed. 

What would Ryuhei actually do if you took him up on his proposition to do you.)

Ugh. Your train of thought is becoming, frankly, deranged.

A surge of irritation courses through you.

How could he do this to me? Fuck that guy, you think to yourself angrily. But this time you also mean fuck that guy and ugh why isn't he doing me and it makes you want to pull your hair out.

.

.

You hold on to your sour mood all weekend.

Flip flopping between rueing the day you met Ryuhei to wondering if he'd ride you as well as he rides that stupidly cool motorbike of his.

You hate yourself for even thinking that, almost as much as you hate him.

Until you see him again Monday morning, and the way his eyes light up makes you blush furiously.

You want to equally strangle him and kiss him senseless.

.

.

Really, is Ryuhei that bad? 

Sure he has no sense of personal boundaries, or decorum, and he runs his mouth with the most unhinged things.

But he's good, at least to you.

Sort of.

(It took you a while to come to that conclusion. You had to double, triple check whether your standards are actually still ok or if he really has worn you down.

That beneath all his bravado, Ryuhei is actually pretty nice. Thoughtful. He looks out for you in ways you don't expect. And he is nothing if not loyal.

There's also bonus points for simply how much he makes you laugh.)

So maybe you can like him back a little, as a treat. A guilty pleasure.

Perhaps it isn't so bad that you allow yourself to drift closer to him. That your shoulder nudges his when you walk together.

How you find any excuse to lightly touch him on the arm under the guise of getting his attention.

You no longer tell him to shut the fuck up when he asks if you want to bang. That sometimes you just raise your eyebrows and give a smirk at his pick up lines, and you relish how his look of shock turns into glee at your response.

When he asks if you want to go for a coffee, you shrug and say sure and let him lead the way as he keeps giving you furtive glances as though you may change your mind and disappear any second. And when you still remain, following him obediently to the cafe, his glances turn hopeful and you allow yourself to melt at how cute he is.

Damnit.

However, the real killer that shifts you from liking him as a treat to full blown liking him is when he offers to take you for a ride.

Your throat immediately dries at the question, and lewd images flashes before your eyes. Unfortunately (or, depending on how you want to look at it - fortunately, before you manage to embarrass yourself) you notice the bike helmets in each hand and squash down your disappointment and presumptuousness. 

Except holding on to Ryuhei as he navigates the night traffic of Seoul, your arms circling his waist, his hand resting on your thighs at every stoplight does something absolutely stupid to your heart.

You're pretty certain he's not even touching you to cop a feel and that he's touching you purely because he can't not. It's so casually, heart wrenchingly intimate that you wonder how on earth you got here with Ryuhei but also please can this never end.

Maybe having sex with him would have been the lesser evil and helped you to get over this crush, rather than doing this and deepening it.

Your brain also shorts when you arrive at your destination and it turns out that romantic bastard has taken you stargazing.

He's uncharacteristically quiet and when your eyes meet his, he looks at you like you're far more interesting than the inky sky littered with the moon and dazzling stars.

With galaxies.

With the goddamn universe.

Fuck.

.

.

Fuck.

Ok. Maybe you shouldn't have given yourself this because your stupid damn heart has betrayed you.

Give it an inch and it took a whole fucking mile.

Depression sets in and you barely get out of bed when you realise you don't just like him, you think you might be falling for him.

Ryuhei.

Ryuhei Kuroda, of all people.

You used to think he was a joke. A creep, if you're being honest. What was that you thought about restraining orders?

Now look at you.

Besotted with him. Checking your phone to see if he has texted. Smiling at the stupid memes and selfies he sent you.

You kick your feet with force and scream into your pillow.

Then pause briefly as you remember the funniest thing he said to you the other day. How he leaned in to whisper into your ear and his breath tickled your skin-

And you start screaming again.

But, you think, this isn't what depression feels like. You go through periods of gloom but mostly you feel like you're floating on clouds.

Your cheeks hurt from grinning so much, like a lovestruck idiot.

You actually feel like dancing and jumping around.

Because so what if Ryuhei is pathetic. Pitiful. Rumours swirling around him and his previous terrible taste with Mitsuki.

(Though you like the person that liked Mitsuki. What does that say about you? It's a terrible game of Six Degrees of Separation.)

And perhaps, worst of all, blonde-

None of it matters.

He's good to you and he makes you happy.

.

.

Ryuhei avoids your eye. 

Fiddling with his tie, his coat, running his fingers through his hair, twiddling his thumbs. Eventually he shoves them in his pocket. For a brief moment. Before he pulls them back out to lace his fingers together, then back apart then back together-

You grab his hands in yours, find them clammy and tell him, "Enough. What?"

His face snaps to yours, as if he didn't realise what he was doing.

A nervous smile spreads. His eyes drop as he mutters under his breath and you catch some vague Japanese.

"Ryuhei?"

He clears his throat, and looks at you again. You don't think you've ever seen him this nervous before.

"Can I kiss you?"

Oh.

Oh.

The innocence of the question completely catches you off guard.

It's definitely not the most risqué question he has asked you, and you note absentmindedly that the frequency of him asking you to sleep with him has declined since you've been... Whatever this is.

However, there has never been such build-up, or frankly shyness to anything he has asked you before.

You're strangely touched.

.

.

Ryuhei's eyes keep darting to your face. 

He can't hold your gaze in case he has somehow massively read this wrong and is rejected (Am I really as delusional as Kenta says I am, he thinks), though he is desperate to know your answer.

You're not at all the first person he has kissed but this feels like the biggest deal. The most important. The only person he has expressed more than a passing attraction to and has also dated, if you can call this dating.

He's desperate to kiss you. Has been desperate for a while, actually. It's not how he is used to operating but he thinks you deserve a gentleman and he's trying his best to act like one and learn somewhat from his past mistakes.

"Of course."

Huh?

Your words cut through Ryuhei's rambling subconscious.

His anxiousness and furrowed brows start to disappear when your consent sinks in. A small grin, toothy and lopsided, and one you find utterly charming, takes over.

Removing his hands from your grasp, his arms snake around your waist and you're pulled close without effort.

"Really?" Ryuhei asks. 

"Really."

"I can kiss you?"

"You can kiss me."

He doesn't hesitate.

Ryuhei leans down and kisses your forehead first. Chaste and nothing more than a peck. Moves further down and brushes his lips against your nose. Then your right cheek, followed by the left. 

Finally-

The last thing you see, before your breath hitches when you feel his smile against your own and your eyes flutter shut, is the way Ryuhei looks at you-

Gleeful, as always, and with total and complete adoration.

Ryuhei Kuroda x Reader: At your beck and call

G/N. He's so silly. So pathetic. I love him. Masterlists

Ryuhei acts like it's the greatest privilege to do things for you. You can't help but be utterly charmed by how, well, pathetic he is.

If he could study on your behalf, he would. Let you stay in bed, lazing around forever until bedsores take over your body, he would. Take any of your illnesses or maladies for you, he would too. Not to mention, fighting for your honour-

(You had stubbed your toe once. He had cooed over your foot until you had gotten bored, kicked him away, then he offered to smash the offending coffee table to pieces.

"No."

"No?" Ryuhei, berserker in hand, pauses mid swing.)

But bless his pitiful soul, knowing he's in his Workers suit or his Kagiroi coat, whistling and carefully preparing your breakfast and bento lunch at a hellish morning hour pulls at your heart strings.

(The smiley face on your onigiri you know matches the one on his face.)

Hearing the way he talks to Eugene when a meeting overruns and Ryuhei is late to see you makes you a) surprised he gets away with talking to the chairman that way and b) absolutely smitten.

He knows everything just the way you like it. Considerate to a fault that you're frequently impressed by how much thought he puts into everything for you.

(You're not sure how much of this is his obsessive tendencies, or if his personality baseline is just really that observant, that caring.)

And despite his crude questions and lewd comments, he really doesn't ask for much in return. A little of your attention (he did try to take it all at one point, but that didn't work so well for him).  Some praise. A bit of affection.

Throw him a bone and he will gnaw on it forever.

He really is so very pathetic, so easy to please. A complete open book for you.

Ryuhei has worn down all your defences.

Is it really a surprise that now your heart blooms, your face softens, your smile brightens whenever you are around him too.
