You quickly become friends with Daniel & co. You're a quote person by nature, but won't stay silent if something bothers you. After meeting Gun Jong Park in a not so agreeable way, he becomes interested in you and fines a strange pleasure in irritating you. He wants to know more about you but you want nothing to do with him. ✋I do NOT own the Webtoon Lookism or the characters that come out in it.🤚 Votes and comments are always appreciated. Remember to keep things polite! ⚠️Some triggering content⚠️ Do not try anything in this book, that is just stupid. I do not take responsibility for any sort of physical or emotional damage you may take. Everything in this book is fake. Again, do not try anything in this book. All the characters I created (OC's) belong to me and are not real people. (The story and grammar get better further into the book I think. Sorry about that.) Is the title is a Fallout Boy reference? Yes. Check my bio for update times and days. ~~~ Started writing: June 6, 2020 First Published October 3, 2020 Finished writing: June 22, 2021 Final chapter updated: July 13, 2022Complete
