Just A Few Seconds Before Everything Was Taken Away From Him

Jake. Hanging out with that guy would never be a dull moment. We would cook spicy ramyeon together, and do a lot of experiment with whatever food we found in the fridge during the process. Starting from some normal stuff like cheese, milk, and eggs to the most questionable substances that had absolutely no business in going into a pot of boiling instant noodles. Like soju and red velvet cake flavored oreo (soju would be my idea, and the oreo would be Jake's).

And then we would binge watch some sitcoms on netflix while sharing a huge pot of our freshly made experimental ramyeon. It would be so much fun.

Bonus point if we ended up fucking

if you were trapped in a room with a lookism character and could only leave after 24 hours, which character would you rather it to be ?

THIS JUST IN:

Samuel Seo Without His Business Attire Spotted Having Soju at a Local Pojangmacha

So, I just watched Pee Tee Jay's YT video where he talked about his obsession with man boobs and I honestly think he should change the title to "Boobism".

Seriously, the amount of milkers in this manwha is astronomical. And Samuel takes half of it.

While the other half goes to Jake.

Big Deal is the Lookism equivalent of the Indonesian Preman Pasar.

I mean they both are groups of thugs in charge of guarding an area full of shops and shit (?)

James Lee was a witch that took Taesoo Ma's eyeball and Ji Geongseob's legs to complete a human cloning ritual in order to create Daniel's second body.

Chapter 437

Okay but why tf do i find this guy hot?? 🫠🫠🫠

Oh yeah, cuz i'm a sucker for men in suits.

Dammit.

The Mystery of Kim Gabryong's Death: Who's Responsible?

"YOU KILLED KIM GABRYONG" - Park Jinyoung to Lee Dogyu, Ep. 403.

Right off the bat? Geez. What a bold accusation you have there, Jinyoung. Sorry dude, but you saying that still doesn't solve the mystery behind Gabryong's death. But thanks to that, I think I'm gonna put Lee Dogyu in my list of suspects, along with Gimyung's Mexican half brother. And you too, probably. Yeah, I don't trust anyone in this webcomic.

⚠️This gonna be a long read⚠️

Gimyung's Mexican Half Brother

If he were the one who murdered Kim Gabryong, then his motives could be because he hated Gabryong for not recognizing him as his son. You might want to read this part where I talked about Kim Gabryong's wife to get the whole picture.

Park Jinyoung's Accusation

Park Jinyoung claimed that Kim Gabryong took Lee Dogyu under his wing "out of pity" for he was "a beggar who lived under a bridge", and yet Tom Lee "stabbed him in the back".

"Lee Dogyu, Kim Gabryong, Park Jinyoung, and ELITE," Park Jinyoung began to list his friends' name. He seemed to have become mentally unstable upon recalling the name Elite.

Who the hell is Elite? According to Park Jinyoung, he's the guy with the round glasses from Gabryong's Fist Gang. The true identity of this Elite guy is still unclear. All we know is that he was Kim Gabryong's second in command (Ep. 381)

Did Jinyoung have PTSD involving this Elite guy? Why? What happened back then?

I'm definitely adding Elite to my list of suspects.

"On Gabryong's last day, I'm sure you and I, and Elite..."

Yes, Mr. Park? You, Mr. Lee, and Mr. Elite did what on that day?

"ELITE! MY (little*) BROTHER! KILL ME TOO!"

Mr. Park, sir, we're going to need you to calm down and explain slowly. Were you asking this Elite guy to kill you too because Gabryong died? what does Elite have to do with Gabryong's death?

*Side note: in the raws it said "nae dongsaeng" which means "my little brother" in English. In the Korean gang culture "dongsaeng" is used to address a junior/subordinate, while "hyung-nim" is used to address a leader/senior. Therefore, Park Jinyoung didn't address Kim Gabryong. He addressed someone below him. Who could that be?

To be honest, I don't trust Jinyoung's testimony completely. This guy was mentally unstable, and he seemed to have lost his memory. What caused his mental instability remains unknown. From that, I can only assume two things:

He could be the one responsible for Kim Gabryong's death. It could be an accident that left him with guilt so deep it made him live in denial, which eventually drove him to insanity.

Somebody brainwashed him into thinking that Kim Gabryong was murdered by Lee Dogyu. That somebody might actually be the culprit behind Kim Gabryong's death. But who could that be? Do you think that could be "Elite"?

Lee Dogyu's Denial

"Why would I kill Gabryong?" - Lee Dogyu, Ep 403

You know what it feels like when you haven't seen your best friend for years, and when you finally meet, they suddenly have a mental breakdown and accuse you of your other friends' murder?

Yeah, me neither. But that's what happened to Lee Dogyu. I can see he's confused as hell. Clearly something happened to Park Jinyoung. It almost looked like he was suffering from memory loss or some kind of a trauma.

Lee Dogyu stood there wide eyed as he watched Park Jinyoung lose his mind, until Yoojin told him to use the syringe he gave him earlier to knock Jinyoung unconscious. As he stabbed Jinyoung with it, his facial expression was filled with guilt and confusion. Not gonna lie, I kinda felt bad for him. I almost wanna cross his name off my list of suspects. Almost. If I'm not skeptical of him. Here's why I still find him suspicious:

During his fight with Park Jinyoung, if he was truly innocent, he could've said something to defend himself. Anything other than that he didn't murder Kim Gabryong. Idk, maybe the true cause of Kim Gabryong's death? Or maybe he could've told Jinyoung the actual person who murdered him?

This could mean one of these possibilities:

He didn't know that Kim Gabryong was murdered.

He knew Kim Gabryong was murdered but didn't know who murdered him.

He lied about not murdering Kim Gabryong.

For the sake of keeping a record, here's my list of suspects for now:

1. Gimyung's Mexican half brother

2. Lee Dogyu

3. Park Jinyoung

4. "Elite"

But hey, that's just my theory. Time will tell us how Kim Gabryong died and who was the one responsible for it. All we have to do is wait for the release of new chapters.

⭐ Bonus: Yoojin's ingenious way of using Park Jinyoung, and eventually Lee Dogyu

You know what bothers me other than Jinyoung's meltdown in Ep. 403? Yoojin. Idk why but there's something about that kid that doesn't sit right with me.

Ilhae lost their greatest force, Han Shinwoo. And as an attempt to make up for the loss of that force, Yoojin turned to Lee Dogyu. The little shit somehow knew his weakness and he used that in the last minute when Lee Dogyu had beaten up almost everyone at Ilhae.

Yoojin offered Lee Dogyu and the WTJC an alliance with Ilhae, in exchange for information about his long lost buddy, Park Jinyoung.

"You said you know where that guy is? I will do anything for you." Lee Dogyu said, finally after he beat the shit out of everyone.

"Well that was fuckin easy." - Yoojin thought to himself, probably.

And then, Lee Dogyu began his first quest from Ilhae. It was to find Janghyun and drag him under Yoojin's command. He succeeded. And as promised, Yoojin took him to meet Jinyoung. On the way to Jinyoung's lab, Yoojin gave him a syringe containing a questionable substance to use on Jinyoung in case he'd become mentally unstable. Which he did... become mentally unstable upon seeing Lee Dogyu.

"I thought it would be different if it was Lee Dogyu. I was looking forward to it, but as expected, it's not easy." - Yoojin

Bullshit.

Of course you were looking forward to it. Because it's a part of your plan.

Yeah, but it's easy for you to trick Lee Dogyu to extend his contract by using Park Jinyoung, isn't it?

Lemme explain.

Yoojin knows about Park Jinyoung's condition to the extent of being able to point out his symptoms. That is "whenever a specific word or situation comes out, he becomes hysterical like that."

And that's one of many reasons why Yoojin keeps Park Jinyoung in Ilhae, aside from the fact that he's a medicine genius who's also the one behind the production of Ilhae's black pills. It's also a trump card for Yoojin to use when the situation calls for it. For example when he tried to get Lee Dogyu to join forces with Ilhae after he lost Han Shinwoo. He knew that Lee Dogyu's primary goal was to find Park Jinyoung, so he offered Park Jinyoung to Lee Dogyu in exchange for a contract.

Getting Lee Dogyu to sign a business contract with Ilhae for a certain amount of time was not enough for Yoojin. Yoojin had to make sure Lee Dogyu stays loyal to Ilhae, but how?

That was by saying to Lee Dogyu that Ilhae is the only place to take care of Park Jinyoung because it's too dangerous for him to go outside. Thus, Lee Dogyu was left with no choice but to keep Park Jinyoung in Ilhae like Yoojin said. (As if mental facilities don't exist in the Lookism universe)

And as expected by Yoojin, Lee Dogyu decided to wait by Jinyoung's side until he recovers, which inevitably extended the business contract between WTJC and Ilhae. Just as planned.

Now for the next move, it's time for Yoojin to fly Xiaolung from China to South Korea. Pretty sure Yoojin sold Kim Gimyung's name to get Xiaolung. Why else would Xiaolung ask for Gimyung the moment he set his foot at the airport?

Istg, Yoojin collects people like he collects pokemon. Gotta catch 'em all.
