lookism men reacting when you forget to say 'i love you' back
summary: you decided to do a little prank, turns out forgetting three little words is the fastest way to send several grown men into an emotional crisis.
author's note: took a bit too long on the request i got too carried away enjoying my break š a lot of newer characters aren't here bc i genuinely don't know how to write them yet | masterlist
Daniel Park:
āI love you, don't forget to call me when you get home!"
You: āOkay. Bye.ā
Pauses. Processes. Doesnāt say anything.
Says nothing for 10 minutes, then hits you with:
āIs this a test?ā
You: āWhat?ā
āA test of loyalty. Honesty. Trust. Emotionalāā
He looked like a puppy, whining, drenched in the rain, getting told to stay outside the house because he destroyed the sofa. You feel so bad for him so you stay with him for 30 more minutes outside your house to calm down.
Gun Park:
āLove you.ā
You: āAlright."
You blink, and heās suddenly standing five inches closer.
āSay it.ā
You: āSay what?ā
āYou know.ā
Stares at you so hard your soul leaves your body, you say āI love youā with your full chest just to survive.
Goo Kim:
āLove you~ā
You: āMhm!ā
āMHM???ā
Starts spiraling instantly. Drops to the ground like a dying Victorian man.
āYou said āmhmā like I handed you a napkin, not my heart.ā
Demands reparations in the form of 20 kisses.
Johan Seong:
"I love you."
You text: "Thanks, you too."
"You too..?"
Goes dead. Goes silent. Doesn't reply or even see your texts for a whole day.
You return home and see him glaring at you.
āI knew it. I was right all along. Trust is an illusion. Love is a scam.ā
You comfort him and assure that it was just a prank, and after a while of convincing you still love him (of course you do), he breathes a sigh of relief.
You practically see Eden and Miro facepalming.
Zack Lee:
āLove you! See you later!ā
You: āSee ya!ā
He stops. Blinks. Turns.
āā¦Wait.ā
Follows you like a shadow. You lock the door? He stands outside. You go to work? He shows up during your lunch break.
āYou forgot. I can wait. Iām patient. Youāll break before I do.ā
Vasco:
āI love you!!ā š„ŗ
You: āHehe okay bye!ā
He doesnāt move.
He just... stands there. For a while.
Then he goes to Jace:
āā¦Do you think they still love me even if they didnāt say it?ā
Lua overhears and with a stroke of luck (for Lua, not Jake) gossips to the girls at Big Deal street.
Word gets along fast in the street and Jake gets clowned in the groupchat within minutes.
Samuel Seo:
You: āBye! I'll let you know when I get there.ā
Samuel: āSure. Love you.ā
You wave and get on the elevator without saying it back.
He blinks.
...?
???
???????????????????
Loses his composure for a second but realizes he's in public and regains his nonchalance fairly quickly.
"Tch. Typical.ā
Pretends he doesnāt care. Totally does.
Spends the rest of the day overthinking while fixing his hair in every mirror he passes.
DG/James Lee:
He texts it casually: āLove you.ā
You: āAlright, later.ā
Doesnāt flinch. Doesnāt comment.
Just quietly nods and moves on.
But his next text to you is noticeably more formal.
ā...Let me know when you get home.ā
No emojis. No pet names.
Thatās his code for: āI noticed. Iām not mad. But I noticed.ā
Ryuhei Kuroda:
āLove you!"
You: āOkay, bye!ā
Malfunctions instantly.
āNo no no NO. Run that back. Say it again. With feeling. Full sentence. Iām not letting this slide.ā
Dramatically reenacts the moment for the rest of the day like itās a trauma flashback.
You kick him out of the house and begs you to take him back.
Jace Park:
"Bye. Love you."
You: "Mhm."
His first instinct? Apologize to you.
āIām sorry if I made you uncomfortable by saying it first I didnāt mean to rush anything unless you do love me then thatās cool but if not thatās okay too unless itās not thenāā
Send help. Heās spiraling respectfully.
Hudson Ahn:
"Love you."
"Okay, bye."
You stare at each other for 5 more seconds, like you both had something to say.
In the end, he just nods calmly.
Looks away.
You turn around and catch him brooding at the sky like heās in a coming-of-age film.
āThe stars donāt talk back either. I get it now.ā
Hey.....I saw that you are accepting requests.... can you do lookism men reacting to s/o who is a independent woman and refuses to use their money
Hii omg ofc!! Thank you for the request!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Money, Money, Money
Ft. Gun Park, Goo Kim, Samuel Seo, DG/James Lee, Zack Lee
Notes: arguing, gaslighting, some fluff, dating/established relationship
Summary: youād rather die than let a man pay for you
GUN
- Heās baffled that you pushed his card away and used yours instead
- He continues to try pay with his card but youāre somehow faster than him and heās lowkey impressed š
- He admires how you stick to your own convictions and are independent
- However, heās a traditional man and he thinks he should be paying so he often gets annoyed when you donāt let him
- Specially when youāre out on dinners together and argue on whoās getting the bill
GOO
- He WANTS to spoil you
- He canāt stand it when you refuse to let him pay
- He WILL hold you in a chokehold in front of the cashier and tell them to quickly use his card
- Heāll sneak his credit cards into your purse hoping youāll accidentally use them
- Will buy you TONS of gifts to make up for when you refuse his money, and every time you fight because youāve told him many times to stop doing that
- So heās really shocked when you refuse his money
- At first he didnāt really care, if you wanted to use your own money it wasnāt any of his business
- But then it starts to irk his inferiority complex
- Did you think he canāt provide for you? Does he not have enough money? Do you have more money than him? So you think youāre better than him?
- Eventually, every time you refuse his money or pay for him he turns bitter and would throw backhanded ācomplimentsā 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 doesnāt insist if you say no
- Heāll still spoil you with gifts and flowers tho because he thinks there isnāt 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 heās a bit hurt and paranoid thinking you donāt like him
- You explain to him how important your independency and values are to you and he understands and respects it
- But he wonāt give up and will always try to pay for you
- Specially if itās a date, he will try extra hard to not let you pay but still respect your boundaries
Without making a sound he leaves the room to make breakfast. He returns in exactly half an hour and pulls back the curtains so there is just enough for light to kiss your face.
The brightness causes you to wake up and your eyes feast upon a dozen of dishes laid out on bed-miso soup, rice balls shaped like bunnies, grilled fish flaky, tamagoyaki rolled, and fresh natto.
"Thank you husband!" you hug him.
For a second he's lost for words .... Husband? Oh, right. We're married.
He feels weirdly prouder than usual. He has a wife now, doesn't he?
Goo Kim
Good luck, you're a brave one to marry Goo!
"I still can't believe you said yes, Mrs.Kim!"
"i can't believe it either."
"Hey, no take backs!"
His cooking is really, really, reaaaaaaaaaaally bad (he learnt nothing from Gun) so his pancakes are all fully burnt.
So, you decide to cook instead but it's in vain because half the time Goo is smothering your face with kisses or sinking his teeth into your neck.
James Lee
Mr. Perfection has everything ready already.
You wake up with coffee in bed, his smile and love.
His eyes look at you softly, the same eyes that hides storms and lies but shine brightly for you.
"Mrs. Lee, what would you like for breakfast?"
"Ice cream."
He'll give you one hell of a disgusted look before regaining his composure.
"That's not healthy, dear."
"Please husband dear?"
15 minutes later you're both on the terrace, him listening to your sleepy ramblings while eating ice cream.
He wipes a drip from your lip, his eyes still soft as he continues to listen to your yapping about the wedding.
Daniel Park (OG)
Daniel's literally buzzing nervously.
He had overslept (please ignore the fact he literally can't sleep with his 2 bodies) and woke up to find scrambled eggs and coffee ready for him.
"So sorry! I just-"
"It's okay husband."
Oh, yeah. He fainted right after that because his brain short circuited.
Breakfast in pajamas, him feeding you bites, eyes wide with wonder like marriage's a dream he pinched himself for.
The whole day (life) will be full of 'i love yous' and 'thank you for marrying me'.
He'll keep touching his wedding ring constantly and grin like a teenage girl every time.
Johan Seong
Johan is up early, watching you sleep, his ring glinting as he brushes hair from your face.
He accidently wakes you up.
"Sorry. Go back to sleep."
"Wow this even better than my dream."
"What?"
"My husband's beautiful face."
He'll try hiding it, but his face is currently cherry red.
"Uh...you-your husband?
"Yeah. Aren't we married?"
He'll keep hovering near you the whole time you cook, which would distract you A LOT, since he's so fucking hot and beautiful.
Breakfast would be half burnt that would not stop Johan from engulfing it in one go.
He'll probably put a wooden board on the front door with the engraving: Y/N SEONG, JOHAN SEONG.
(yeah, he bought it in advance)
Jake Kim
Jake as a husband is like a cold pillow on a hot summer night.
He wakes you with kisses trailing your shoulder.
"This is like the best morning view ever. Good morning wife!"
You both cook breakfast together. While eating he steals bites from your chopstick, just because it's tastier that way.
The ring? He shows it off in the mirror, grinning like a kid.
He keeps muttering "I have a wife. my wife~" (to literally no one)
Samuel Seo
Samuel's controlling demeanor slips just a bit.
He wakes you with coffee and is still ready to go to work.
"Husband. This is not fair."
"What?"
"We just got married. Don't tell me you're going to work?"
"No what did you call me?"
"Husband...?"
The rest of the day is spent with Samuel going rounds with you until the wedding bed breaks.
Zack Lee
Zack's literally a golden retriever.
He jerks awake, nearly falls off the bed, then peppers your face with kisses.
"Holy shit, I'm married! To you!"
He clicks 100000 pics of his hands with his wedding ring on, posts every single one of them on social media.
The whole morning he'll be touchy-touchy and won't let you go.
"Zack! We need to eat. Let me cook!"
"Ok then let's just order. I don't want to let go of you, Mrs. Lee."
That got you to stay.
Eli Jang
Awwww, Eli. Thank you for making Eli trust in love again.
Eli wakes up to find you caressing Yenna's hair who's currently sleeping in your lap.
"Good morning, husband."
"Thank you."
"Huh. What for?"
"For everything."
He leans forward and kisses your cheek.
(Yenna watched everything with one eye slightly open)
Series Title/AU: My Baby Brother is the Strongest Character
<<read the synopsis and content warnings first>>
Pairing/Relationship: isekaid!older sister!Reader x Gun Park, nurse!Reader x platonic! J High students
You sat on the veranda facing your miniature garden. Behind you, your baby brother struggled to be gentle as he detangled the knots in your hair.
āGun, I have a request.ā
āAt least let me finish this one before you assign me another chore.ā
You chuckled dryly. āDonāt be silly, children should be happy to help their elders.ā
āWhatever you say, nee-san. So, whatās this request?ā
āDonāt ever tell anyone that you do not wish to be the next leader.ā
You felt his hands flinch.
āItās okay if you donāt want the position, but donāt ever voice those feelings, not until youāre an adult.ā
Gun stopped brushing your hair.
āItās a weird request, I know, but please humor me.ā You gazed at the orange sky. āOur cousin is a kind person, and this is the only way we can protect him.ā[1]
āI donāt understand. Youāre being cryptic again.ā
āJust listen to me, will you? This is for the greater good.ā You tousled his hair.
Pouting, he demanded you comb it back for him.
***
He had just finished todayās training when Haruto arrived, grinning softly. āIāll walk with you back inside.ā
Gun bowed to his teachers and then joined his cousin, who suddenly asked, āYouāre close with your sister, arenāt you?ā
āI donāt know. She messes up my hair every time she sees me and pinches my cheeks whenever I win at those silly games she likes, and she forces me to watch those American sitcoms so I can learn Englishābut I think she just wants someone to shake when something funny happens. She also talks in riddles and laughs at her own jokes. Not to mention she converses with her pet fishā¦ā
āDo my eyes deceive me? Your words are harsh but youāre smiling.ā
He covered his mouth with both hands, earning a laugh from his cousin. ā...am not.ā
A chuckle, then silence.
Haruto stopped walking.
āGun, I shouldnāt be telling you this, but it doesnāt look like anybody else cares.ā He turned to face the younger boy. āFather plans to marry her off this spring.ā
āTo who?ā
āTo the Kurosawa familyās successor.ā
āButā¦ā That man was twenty-nine years old. ā...my sister just had her twelfth birthday.ā
His cousin closed his eyes. āIām sorry.ā
Stareā¦
Staaaareā¦
āThe lightās green, idiot.ā Gun grabbed Gooās jaw and forced him to look forward. āKeep your eyes on the road.ā
āIām surprised you could tell, youāve been glued to that phone since this morning. Iām a little hurt.ā
Gun ignored him.
āDid you finally find a woman willing to put up with your bullshit?ā
The provocation went right over his head as a new message arrived.
Older Sister: i get off work at 4, want sum bbq?
He sighed and put down his phone, simultaneously punching Gooās face away. āItās rude to read other peopleās messages, asshole.ā
āDonāt go preaching about manners when youāve been on your phone all day and ignoring me, bastard.ā
āWhatever. Just drive.ā
āHowās that successor youāve been nurturing?ā
āIām letting him be for the time being.ā
āWell, I hope you know what youāre doing. Choiās going to want an update soon.ā
āI donāt need you to remind me.ā
āYou just seemed distracted lately.ā
āYou worry about yourself,ā he said, typing a short reply back. āI know my priorities.ā
After you fell into the ocean, Gun lived for revenge. When he got his revenge, he carried on aimlessly. He refused to stay in Japan despite his cousinās insistence, and when he came to Korea he agreed to join forces with Charles Choi purely on a whim.Ā
But now his light has returned and he will never lose it again.Ā
***
It was ten minutes before four p.m. but you decided to close the clinic early and visit the principalās office.
āYou want to hold a lecture on gambling? Why so suddenly?āĀ
āLately, there has been a rise in minors participating in online betting and I would like to ensure our students donāt end up getting scammed.ā
The elderly man glanced at the other staff member in the room, Gordon Park, and asked, āIs that true?ā
āI heard some of the kids near my place talking about some gambling site, but I donāt think itās reached our students just yet.āĀ
āHuhā¦ā The principal clasped his hands together and looked at you. āIām not opposed to the idea. Prevention is better than cure, as they say, but who would hold the seminar? We donāt have the funds for that.ā
āIāll do it then,ā you answered immediately, surprising both men.Ā
āEh? Nurse, I know you care for the children and I appreciate your effortsāwe all doābut even if you did, we canāt pay you for that.ā
āI donāt mind, itās not like Iāll be doing anything special. I just need an hour or so with each department. Hereās a rough outline of the lecture.ā You put a copy of your powerpoint slides on the desk and slid it towards the principal, who gave it a quick scan before handing the folder over to Gordon.
You rose to your feet and bowed. āPlease consider.āĀ
The men exchanged looks.
After a beat, Gordon Park spoke, āLetās do it, sir.ā
āBut Parkāā
āEducating them about how scammers work has no downside, and the worst thing that they can do is not listen.ā
You smiled inwardly. Mister Park was the only teacher named in J High and one of the few reliable, normal adults in the entirety of Lookism.
The principal scratched his wig before exhaling loudly. āAll right! I canāt think of a reason to say no. But because this is technically unofficial, I canāt have you disturbing the regular lessons. Youāre going to hold your lecture during breaks.ā
You bowed. āThank you, sir, and thank you, Mister Park.āĀ
With that done, you stepped out of the office and threw your arms upward for a full-body stretch.Ā
Thatās one thing off your mind.Ā
The kids of this generation grew up with the internet, but at the end of the day, they were still kids. They had crappy survival instincts. It may not be much, but hopefully, a good talk about how scammers work can prevent the tragedy of Jiho Park. [2]
You checked your phone as you made your way out of the school building.Ā
Kiddo: Iāll pick you up.
You: you donāt hafta do that
You: letās meet up at the restaurant, iāll send you the address
Kiddo: Too late.
Students crowded by the school gate. Those at the back caught sight of you and then tapped the shoulders of those in front of them. Like a mob of meerkats, they raised their heads in unison and stared at you.
Just another day in your life, to be frank.
You nodded at them. āSee you guys next Monday.ā
Once you actually reached the gates, you realized why they were all gathered here.Ā
Gun stood across the street, dressed to the nines and leaning over a sleek black sedan while staring at his phone.
When he finally noticed you, he pocketed his phone and smiled.
Some girls behind you KYAAAAHād. Having enough of this circus, you turned around and addressed the students, āWhat are you doing? The guards have to lock up. Go home.ā
āBut missāā
āHome. Now.ā
They let out a collective groan and started treading off campus grounds.
You half-jogged towards Gun. āSorry about that.ā
āYou seem used to it.ā He tugged on your purse.
āUnfortunately. Did you wait long?āĀ
āNo, I just got here a few minutes ago.ā
āI hope youāre hungry because I plan on pigging out tonight.ā
āIs that so?ā
āYup, but before that, I need to make a quick detour.ā
āOkay. Where to?ā
āItās only a couple of blocks away from here. I wonāt be long.ā
He slid the purse strap over his shoulder. āOkay, Iāll walk with you.āĀ
You didnāt argue and led him to an alley where a dog waited for you in a house of cardboard. A bright red scarf was draped over her back.
āHey, Enu!ā
Her tail wagged but then she growled at the sight of Gun.
āItās okay, sweetie, heās harmless.ā You motioned for Gun to open your purse so you could reach for the dog food. āSorry to keep you waiting.ā
āIs she a Golden?ā
āMixed. Apparently, thatās why her old owners left her here. I wanted to take her home with me butā¦ā you trailed off.
āBut?ā
āMm, sheās not my destiny.ā
Gun looked at you like you were crazy.Ā
You fixed Enuās scarf and then explained, āI started feeding her since I transferred here last year. The students found out and now they take turns giving her food and playing with her. Some of them even wanted to take her home but sheās indignant about waiting for her old master. She lets me touch her, but she never tries to follow me when I leave. Weāre not meant to be.ā
āItās nice to know that, even after all these years, you still talk like a weirdo, nee-san.ā
āI take that as a compliment.āĀ
Gun took a step forward.Ā
Enu growled at him but he continued until he was close enough to offer his hand. She sniffed his fingers for a while, let out a final growl and then resumed her dinner.Ā
āWow. It took me a whole month to get her to stop biting me.ā
āI think you softened her up, so thank you for your sacrifice.āĀ
You leaned your head over his shoulder.Ā
āShe looks like Nugget, donāt you think?ā
āI think she looks like a dog, nee-san.ā
āYou lack imagination.ā
āI donāt wanna hear that from someone who named a dog āDogā.ā[3]
āFor your information, I didnāt give her that name. Thatās what the neighbors called her and it stuck.ā
āAnd what would you have named her?ā
āPudding.ā
āThatās soā¦so you.ā
You laughed and patted his knee. āCome on, letās go.ā
You eventually made it to the BBQ place and after giving your order, you decided to ask the hard questions.
āItās really nice to have you back, Gun.ā
āThatās my line.ā
āIsā¦is Harutoā¦ā
āHeās alive.ā
Years of guilt fell off your shoulder, the weight on your chest gone as you let out a shaky breath. āOh.ā You covered your face. āThatās good.ā
Gun was quiet as you wiped the tears with a napkin.
āIām sorry, I didnāt want to spoil the eveningā¦but thatās good news, thatās really great news.ā
He reached over the table and gave your free hand a squeeze.Ā

āHey,ā Gunās voice was low as he confronted the teenager that had been pointing his phone at you, ādidnāt your mother teach you that itās rude to film others without permission?ā
Taejoon Park nearly crapped his pants.Ā
The moment you left for the restroom, the man appeared next to him without warning. He was like a ghost.Ā
Taejoon knew that he should hurry and apologize, but the pressure was too much! His mind blanked out.Ā
The man held out his hand. āGive me your phone.ā
āAhāā
āDonāt make me take it from you.ā
āEep!ā
He surrendered the device with a bow.Ā
āSo youāre a student at J High.ā
āYes!āĀ
āWhy were you taking pictures of the school nurse?ā
āUmā¦ā
āHurry up.ā
āB-b-becauseā¦umā¦ā He heard a crack coming from the hand holding his phone and Taejoon confessed, āThe nurse is popular and everyoneās curious about her!ā
āIs that true? Sheās popular?ā
āYes, yes! Everyone loves her but she never talks about herself soā¦you knowā¦ā In Taejoonās case, however, he simply enjoyed being the center of attention, even if it was just attention for leaking photos of the nurse.Ā
The man sighed then returned the phone. āIāll let you go just this once, but donāt do this again. And delete the photos.ā
āYes, sir! Thank you, sir!ā
The man returned to his table and a few seconds later, you were back. āAfter this, I want to get ice cream.ā
āWe havenāt even finished cooking the pork belly and youāre already thinking of dessert?ā
Taejoon wiggled in his seat in disgust. The Doberman that chipped his phone screen was gone, replaced with a puppy-like boy.Ā
Heād rather not risk getting bitten so he erased the photos and signaled the waiter for the bill.Ā

Lookism Boys & How They Flirt When They Actually Like You
Summary: Disaster boy behavior but make it endearing lolol
Authorās Note: this might be a lil corny, itās not NSFW so idk. I hope yāall like it
Word Count: 862
ENJOY!!!!
Vasco
Flirting Style: Earnest puppy with zero game
Tells you youāre strong even if you just opened a pickle jar
Brings you random trinkets like a rock that āreminded him of your vibesā
Accidentally says āI love youā way too soon and then panics so hard he does damn near melts about it
Thinks doing 200 squats in front of you and flexing his muscles is flirting (itās working lol)
He blushes so hard when you compliment his tattoos. Expect full stammering, possibly passing out. His tattoos mean a lot to him so for you to like them is amazing.
Bonus: You could kiss his cheek and heād be so flustered he apologizes for existing.
Zack Lee
Flirting Style: Aggressive gym bro with a gooey center
Challenges you to a fake sparring match so he can definitely lose on purpose (and touch you š)
āWhat? I didnāt mean to fall on you. Maybe you shouldāve dodged.ā š
Will get jealous easily but tries not to show it. He fails miserably like every time.
Literally punches walls after flirting attempts go wrong (He asks Mira for help with you. But she lets him squirm and makes him wing it lol)
Will compliment you mid-argument: āYouāre so fucking annoying⦠and hot. Shit.ā
Bonus: If you sneak a kiss during a fight, heāll melt and forget what you were arguing about.
Johan Seong
Flirting Style: Brooding feral dog boy trying to love for the first time
Glares at anyone who gets too close to you (yes, even strangers. It can be embarrassing)
Has no idea how to flirt so he just⦠does things for you. Fixes your bike. Carries your books. Murders your enemies.
Once brought you an injured bird and said it āreminded him of you.ā Youāre still trying to unpack that symbolism.
Will not say āI like you,ā but will take a punch for you and then ask if you ate today. Like????
Blushes if you catch him staring. Denies it even when red as a tomato.
Bonus: If you patch him up after a fight, he will fall in love. Again. Harder.
Vin Jin
Flirting Style: Chaotic loudmouth with hidden softboi vibes and a negging problem lol
Roasts you 24/7 but would actually die if someone else did
āYouāre kinda ugly when you laugh⦠I mean itās cuteāwaitāno, shut upā
Sends you memes instead of saying āI miss youā
Offers to DJ a playlist just for you but insists itās ānot a big deal or anythingā
Heās LOUD but if you whisper something sweet in his ear? Heāll short-circuit.
Bonus: Take his glasses off and tell him he looks good. Heāll probably combust and start teasing you about something dumb to hide his flustered face.
Jake Kim
Flirting Style: Low-key mob boyfriend energy, acts chill but is dying inside from the cuteness aggression you give him.
āYou good?ā translates to āIāve been thinking about you all day and Iām obsessedā
Leans on things when you talk: doors, walls, your shoulder if heās brave
Subtly matches your outfits and pretends itās coincidence
Buys you something practical (āThought you might need this.ā) but wonāt admit it took him 3 hours to pick out
Gets quiet and smiley when you laugh. He notices everything about your face when you laugh.
Bonus: When you gently trace your fingers along his scars (face or body, you pick), heās flustered and already imagining joint bank accounts.
Warren Chae
Flirting Style: Golden retriever x protective big bro hybrid
Calls you ābroā for way too long even though everyone knows heās into you
Starts working out harder after you compliment his muscles ONCE
Brags about you to the other Hostel members like: āY/N said I was cool. They meant it, man!ā
Offers to teach you how to fight, but is terrified of accidentally hurting you
Gets flustered by physical touch. Like you bump shoulders and he suddenly forgets how to breathe.
Bonus: If you ask to wear his hoodie, heāll go speechless and just nod like an NPC loading new emotions lolol
I hope you guys had a good time with this one. Hereās Part 2. BYE!!!
A trend where you yell the words at your bf and try to hug him to see what heāll do
Jonggun: *blows smoke in your face*
Goo: āIām Gay!ā

Thatās all for nowš¼ thanks for reading pookies
The type to cry, sob, and be in utter disbelief that someone as angelic as you is actually marrying him of all people. He's tearing up, not just because you're breathtaking, but because after everything, youāre finally going to be together forever : Goo Kim , Daniel Park, Seongji Yuk, Jaegyeon Na , Zack Lee , Eli Jang, Vin Jin ( try hard not to but fails) , Jay Hong , Jinrang, Ryuhei , Vasco.
The type who seems calm on the outside but is totally freaking out inside. Still, he pulls himself together because today is about the both of you. He canāt take his eyes off you. And when you two slow dance, he leans in close, whispering how lucky he is, before the night turns into a celebration, neither of you will ever forget : Jake Kim , Johan Seong , Warren Chae, Jichang Kwak, Hudson Ahn , Taesoo Ma , Eugene, Jace Park.
The type whoās happy and content but lowkey wants the ceremony to be over already. You look absolutely drop-dead gorgeous, yes , but all he can think is how badly he wants to rip that dress off: Gun Park , James Lee/Diego Kang , Samuel Seo, Yujae Seon, Kitae Kim , Baek Sang.
The face of the game. All the ads are centered around him.
The ads defo exaggerate his lines because in the actual game, he has the most vanilla route: cute boy is nice to you ā> gets to know you better ā> trials and tribulationsā> realizes he canāt go on without being with you ā> kiss scene.
No hate to vanilla routes! Theyāre a classic.
Heās a safe bet and is an all-around green flag. Heās a bit of a dummy, but thatās his charm.
Heās the easiest route to complete. Itās almost comical how quickly his affection for the player can stack up.
Despite being the literal icon of the game on the App Store, heās actually quite underrated.
The fandomās general consensus is that we all like him, but ride-or-dies are few and far between.
As the gameās unofficial main protagonist and the route the devs are obviously pushing you towards, he gets the most action scenes. A lot of the actual plot development is in his story.
His bad ending isnāt even that bad. Heās still incredibly nice, and your relationship status would be ambiguous at worst.
Heās the one whose āgood ending CGā gets used in every marketing banner, even when the update has nothing to do with him.
Heās a bit wary in the beginning because heās not the most friendly guy, but that doesnāt last long. Heās quick to warm up to you and will be fiercely protective and caring even before you start dating.
Heāll be the most obvious with his crush on you, even if he does his best to hide it.
His insecurities are the overarching theme of his story. He does his best to improve and be a better man for you, but he fails again and again, and yet he keeps getting up and trying just one more time, and another after that.
Heās the most popular dateable. As in, the players like him the most for themselves. His yumeships dominate his tag on social media.
Heās the fandomās wife. His fan art always has him looking submissive, like in maid outfits or nurse costumes.
Slutted up on AO3 too, in all positions. Heās quite the all-rounder.
His bad ending makes the player look bad, but it is still implied that his door will never close for you if you choose to change your mind and come back to him.
Vasco
Earnest, simple-minded sweetheart.
Vasco likes you from the get-go, so his route progresses the quickest.
Heās planning your kids by day two, and tbh it can be a bit much for some players, so heās not the most popular pick.
But heās the purest-hearted guy in the gang. He wears his heart on his sleeve and will never lie to you.
His way of showing affection can be a bit unorthodox and youād definitely need to teach him stuff about romance and how you want to be swept off your feet.
The execution can go either way, but youāll never not feel his sincerity in everything he does.
His route is the shortest, but itās definitely the sweetest.
His route can go really wrong, though. Vasco can easily misunderstand the things you say. The worst-case scenario is that he thinks youāre evil, and heāll have to take you down.
In the good end, yaāll already have kids and a happy home. In the bad end, heās hunting your head for being the ābad guyā.
There are mid endings like the friend zone route, where he genuinely just thinks of you as a friend, and thereās no chance of it evolving into more. Thereās also the ending where you date for a bit, but he breaks up with you because itās for your āsafetyā.
His friendship route secretly unlocks one of the purest CGs in the game: him giving you a matching helmet.
Vin Jin
THEEE HARDEST ROUTE!
And itās not rewarding eitherā¦
Heāll put you through the WRINGER for CRUMBS.
His route is the darkest, too. Like they have to put in trigger warnings before his flashbacks and cut scenes.
Heās rude asf when you first meet him and continues to be rude even if heās interested in you. Almost everything you say decreases affection and no one gets his love ending on the first try, without consulting an online guide.
Heās funny asf though⦠has the best quips, especially in other routes. But in his own route, itās just pain.
BUUUT he does stick around. He says the snarkiest things, but heās never leaving your side like an annoying barnacle on a ship.
Polarizing in the fandom. People either hate him or would DIIEEE for him.
He gets the most slander on Reddit, but he also has more fans who bulk buy his merch.
His fans all have a savior complex.
Shit attitude aside, his route is incredibly well-written, and his good ending is pretty realistic, all things considered.
Heās not immediately sweet, but he shows that heās willing to open up a bit more.
He has one good ending and three whole bad endings.
Jay
Heās the MOST popular character, full stop. Zack might be the most dateable, but Jay gets the most love because heās highkey shipped with another male lead (we all know who this is)
His most popular tag is āx Danielā, with āx Readerā as second.
But heās youāre typical rich boyfriend. All your problems are solved because heās rich and insanely sweet.
Probably has the blandest route icl and itās not his fault. Most of his trauma is off-screened and you donāt get any elaboration on it because he doesnāt want to seem weak in your eyes (or the devs just didnāt care enough to add it).
The devs lowkey didnāt expect him, of all male leads, to be the most popular one⦠he might get an exclusive swimsuit DLC just to appease the fans.
He doesnāt really speak, so heās big on actions. That also leaves a lot of his thoughts up to fansā interpretation, so best believe that helps fuel his massive repertoire of fan content.
He doesnāt have a bad ending⦠Itās just one of the least romantic of the two endings heās got.
Hudson
Done absolutely dirty by the devs.
Heās even excluded from a lot of the merch because the devs assume he wonāt sell well.
Heās insanely hot, though, and rich with his self-made wealth.
Heās not actually that unpopular; his fans are just quiet. Thereās ONE Hudson daily account and all his fans just like and retweet its posts, but they donāt make a lot of content themselves.
His route has the least main plot development, but it makes up for it with character introspection.
You learn a lot about Hudson, not because the story spoon-feeds you his backstory, but because of the sheer consistency of his actions. Compared to the others, he doesnāt change much for you. But instead, incorporates you into his working principles and philosophies. The Hudson you meet, and the Hudson the game ends with are the exact same; the sole difference is you.
Heās not the flashiest guy, but heās an acquired taste.
His fans are a tight-knit group in one Discord server, and they all cheer at the crumbs he gets.
To a lot of players, they may not think much of his endings. But his endings, good or bad, are very meaningful conclusions to his character and his story with the player.
His route is the āmost completeā in the sense that it wasnāt created to make you want more. All thatās left when you finish is a lingering courage that makes you want to stick to your guns a bit harder, just as Hudson would.
Heās the only one whose route epilogue directly acknowledges the playerās growth, and itās played for both good and bad endings.
Bonus: UI Daniel
Secret route.
In his route, all the fragments of the plot are finally tied together to make the ultimate game conclusion.
In order to get his route, you need to unlock all of Danielās endings and at least one ending of each of the other leads.
Horniest fans known to man, oh my god.
He gets no advertising, though⦠to keep the mystery.
Thereās a hidden stat called āmoral standingā that only affects UI Danielās ending, but no one fully knows how it works.
His route is mostly plot, but at the end of it, you do get a little UI Daniel reveal.
Players are forced to pick between Daniel and UI Daniel, and if you pick UI⦠Itās the gameās overall bad ending.
But you do get a small cut scene at the end. In it, we see that heās all quiet and distant, but he lets you do his makeup and touch his face with little to no violent reaction. So I guess heās warming up to you?
