YOUR MOM, HONEY. ASK YOUR MOM. IT LITERALLY SAID "PRE GENERATION" IN HER DESCRIPTION BOX A FEW CHAPTERS

Box Hair Dye

You're trying to get a fresh new look. Jang Hyun helps you pick a hair color.

A/N: beware of a slight angst at the end.

You and Hyun went to different schools. Every day after school you took the time to go to Hyun's school so both of you could walk home together.

Today Hyun promised to go with you to get a hair dye because you said you're bored with your dull lifeless hair. You wanted to dye it with something vibrant, but you didn't know what color suits you best.

So that's why you needed Hyun, your best friend-slash-a beauty department student, to be your hair advisor.

You both walked to the nearest convenience store.

Hyun followed you to the cosmetics aisle and stopped beside you in front of a small display of box hair dyes.

You reached for a wine-red with your right hand, and a mint-green with your left. A big grin plastered on your face as you held both of them on each side of your head.

"which one looks good on me?" You asked.

Hyun frowned at your terrible taste.

He turned his head at the array of colors in front of him, paused for a moment, then looked back at you, and then at the display.

You were starting to lose your patience until he finally reached for a rose-gold one. He held the box on one side of your face.

"This one suits your skin tone the best," he remarked.

You put the red and the green back to where they belong and take the rose gold from Hyun's hand. Without a second thought, you put the box into your shopping basket.

"I'll take this then," you said cheerfully.

"Are you sure? I thought you hated pink?"

"You said it suits me and I trust the opinions of professionals."

Hyun chuckled, "you think i'm a pro? I haven't even got my certification yet," he said while looking at his feet.

You knew that facial expression too well as you and him have been friends for a long time. Hyun was doubting himself again.

You gave him a reassuring smile. "You will get one and be an actual pro hair designer in no time, Hyun. I believe in you."

It seemed to you that your words of encouragement haven't been successful in lifting up his spirits. You frowned at the thought.

"I'm sure Hyeeun would cheer you on too if she was still here. She would be so proud because you work hard for your dream, her dream. She would be very happy because you're such a good father for Yena." You poured your heart into every single word you said in hopes to see Hyun smiles.

And he did. He smiled so radiantly, you felt a slight pang in your chest.

"Thanks, y/n. I really need that today."

"It's alright, Hyun. That's what friends are for." You smiled.

Hyun, if only you knew that I love you so much I don't mind accepting the fact that you love Hyeeun.

Chapter 437

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

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

Dammit.

"she's considered one of the 10 geniuses but for what?" MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY

The only awesome-ish thing she did was building her own streaming company (Crystal TV?)

Maybe she's a genius in business? Idk.

Oh. And she did beat up a guy once when she was on a train with J High kids.

I don't think she did anything else other than those to be considered genius.

...or did I miss something?

I think Crystal Choi might not be the biological daughter of Charles Choi...my gut feeling.

i think so too,, but then where would she have come from? 😭 i cant imagine charles would just find a kid he thought had potential and then pick her up to raise as his own. she seems pretty content living with him too??

also i wonder what her talent is....? shes considered one of the 10 geniuses but for what...? gun has been explicitly called "nurturer genius" and we can assume kouji is some hacking genius (unless his title was stated back when he was introduced but i dont rmbr;;) but what does crystal do? >:0c

Yo dude get outta ma shed! 😂

Jake got Jerry's head as his profile pic. No debate.

No shit, Samuel's power up is to block attacks with his boobs 🤣

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.

That panda seems to be enjoying life....

Honey, whose child is that?!

Part 2 of "Park Jonggun Came Home With a Little Surprise"

Previously on part 1: Jonggun brought a toddler home. You wondered whose child that was.

Read part 1 here

"Park Jonggun, answer my question," your voice was so calm yet so stern.

"Whose child is that?" With your arms crossed, you stared down at the man before you to assert dominance.

So what if he's a mafia boss, who's also a kyokushin karate master, who most likely could chop you in half with his bare hand? Screw that. You wanted answers.

"Should we do this now? When the kid is sound asleep?" Sighing, Jonggun took off his Dior sunglasses and put them carelessly on the mini bar top before proceeding to walk toward the kitchen.

Your jaw dropped in disbelief at how calm his demeanor was, considering the situation you both were in.

"Yeobo!" You whisper-yelled while helplessly tailing your dear husband, only to be ignored by him.

"Wow, it smells so good. What are you cooking?"

"Kimchi-jjigae," you answered shortly, hoping he would drop the act and address the elephant in the room.

"Oppa!" Gosh darn it, you really didn't want to whine. But you had to. What else would you do to make him stop ignoring you?

"What?" He responded lazily. His eyes never left the steaming hot kimchi stew you cooked and served less than five minutes ago. It was true that you wanted his attention, but not this way.

This is more exhausting than making dozens rolls of kimbab, you thought to yourself.

In fact, the said kimbab rolls are nicely plated on the dining table. And Jonggun was stuffing his mouth with one of them.

"What? What? Ya, Park Jonggun, you brought an unidentified human infant to our house. What do you mean, what?"

"Her name is Yena," he said. "There. Now she's identified. Are you happy now?"

"Not quite. You haven't answered my question," you said, joining your husband at the dinner table. You glanced at the sleeping Yena, who was still curled up in his embrace.

What a poor baby, you thought. She's taken away from her parents by your thug husband. He must've done that to threaten them. The reason behind the threat was unknown to you, but you were certain it was related to his line of work.

That was when you felt a click in your brain.

"Don't tell me..." you shifted your glance to Jonggun's dark eyes, "you're planning to get ransom money by kidnapping a child?"

He let out a chuckle, seemingly amused by your guess. "You are quite sharp, my love."

You almost swooned by his endearing remark, but you didn't let that get you off your serious mode.

"So, is this your new business line or what?" you asked.

"Kind of..." he shrugged.

You rose from your seat, then walked around the table toward Jonggun. You offered to hold Yena. He appreciated your considerate gesture. That way he could eat his dinner comfortably.

You were quite amazed at such a heavy-sleeper she was. She remained calm when you moved her from Jonggun's arm into yours.

Then silence filled the room, while questions filled your head. The love of your life seemed to notice your silent curiosity.

Cute, he thought to himself.

"Are you perhaps interested in hearing a story?" he said, finally.

"Well of course I am. Pray tell?"

While cradling Yena, you positioned yourself gently onto the chair next to him. Jonggun began to talk about how the man he was working for requested him to gather a huge amount of money to fund his business. He told you how he was supposed to meet that request by collecting 100 million Won worth of deposit money from each gang of teenagers from all over Seoul.

"So basically one of the crews refused to hand over their cash, so I took their leader's daughter."

Crews. That's what he called the gangs. Groups of teenagers who ran various illegal businesses to earn money so they can deposit 100 million Won to Jonggun every month. Some of them managed to still keep the remaining income as a profit, while some of them didn't. The few others couldn't even fulfil the deposit. That was when Jonggun had to eliminate them.

"Why don't you just, you know, eliminate that crew instead of taking the trouble to kidnap her?" you inquired, gesturing toward the sleeping toddler in your arm.

"Because I see a great potential in their leader. I think he would be a perfect successor for me. You know I'm going to retire soon."

"You crazy bastard," you remarked sharply despite the smirk on your face. You couldn't deny that his story amused you. It always felt like an adventure just being by Jonggun's side. He's very... thrilling.

"And you love me," Jonggun retorted, winking. You rolled your eyes at his cheesy act.

Jonggun thanked you for the delicious meal, then planted a quick kiss on your temple. He announced that he was going to take a shower and told you to leave Yena to the maids' care.

"Wait, babe!" you called out to your husband after one of your maids took Yena from your arms.

"Yeobo, let's wash together!"

You followed the love of your life to the master suite. At that very moment, you were glad the toddler was not your husband's mistress's child. God forbid if he even had a mistress!

Edit: part 3 is here!

I wonder if we can screenshot comic panels from naver webtoon and at this point i'm afraid to ask.

Seriously, where can we get the raws? I just want to translate them myself 🥲
