Janiel

Janiel is the slash ship between Jay Hong and Daniel Park from the Lookism fandom

Canon
Jay and Daniel first met at Daniel's first day at J High school, where he transferred to because of intense bullying from his last school. Jay, who was usually very reclusive and uncaring, tried to stop Zack from punching Daniel, even though they had barely ever talked to each other before. Jay also beat up the people who trash talked Daniel behind his back, even though Daniel didn't know anything about it. He gifted Daniel lots of bags of clothes for his birthday, because he noticed that people were making fun of Daniel for wearing cheap clothes. It was shown that in the day before Daniel's birthday, he had been struggling to write a birthday note for him, finally settling with just writing "Happy Bday". Some of the notes that he didn't give Daniel read, "Let's be friends" or "Don't misunderstand, just take my clothes". He also defeated some of the members of burn knuckles gang, who were planning to beat up Daniel. 

The slave auction was one of the events of J High festival day. In the slave auction, girls bid on freshman guys, and the highest bidder can go on an 8 hour date with the winner. Jay desperately asked the auction staff whether he can bid too, but they denied his request as he was a guy. He was also ready to bid $1000, but by then, the auction was over. This moment can be interpreted as Jay trying to save Daniel from going on a date with Lala Kim, the queen of the slave auction who had an infamous reputation for her hellish dates, or that Jay wanted to go on a date with Daniel himself. It can also be interpreted as both. 

Daniel needed help for studying, so he decided to ask Jay for help. While they were studying together, their classmates started whispering among themselves, saying "Jay and Daniel.....They are something special." Daniel came in first place at the exams after, and Jay, despite losing his rank in the first place, was happy that Daniel got good grades. 

Jay planned to go on a solo trip to Busan, but threw away his bus ticket in a trash bin when he met Daniel in the bus station to travel with him. He visited Daniel at his home, and didn't judge the poor conditions where he lived. Daniel told him that it was his "friend's" home, and showed him his old body, telling Jay that it was his "friend". Jay treated Daniel's old body with respect, offering his chewing gum to him. When Jay found out that Daniel's treasured 5 dollar bill, which was a present from his mother, was taken away from his by Logan Lee, he decided to take it from Logan and give it back to Daniel. Jay also gave a lot of folded boxes to Daniel's mother so that she could sell it. Jay was about to lose in his fight with Logan, but Daniel came just in time to save him. Jay was unconscious, so Daniel carried him on his back. After Jay woke up, he gave Daniel the 5 dollar bill that he had swiped in between the fight. Overwhelmed with emotion, Daniel started crying. Jay panicked, thinking that Daniel was crying because he was too heavy, and offered to carry him.

Jay accidentally dropped his wallet and Jiho picked it up. Jiho tried to give it back to Jay, but he ran away to help Daniel with something. Jiho found out that there was a check for $10,000 in his wallet. Jiho hurriedly tried to find ways to give it back to Jay, but all his methods failed. After him and Daniel got Jay's wallet back from some bullies who had stole it from Jiho, they went to his apartment to give it back to him. Jay had went outside to search for his wallet, but came back immediately after Joy had texted him that Daniel was there, and tried to hurriedly clean his apartment. In the end, it was revealed that the check wasn't actually real, and it was just a coupon for the shop Daniel worked for. The coupon had Daniel's picture in it, and he went out and brought a pile of the coupons because he lost his old one.

When J High school went on an amusement park for a school trip, the main characters went on a disco pow pow. Joy Hong puporsefully tried to throw herself on Daniel in between the ride, but Jay pushed her away before she could. Jay noticed the drop tower while staring at the sticker on his phone cover, and he started thinking that if he rode the drop tower, maybe he can impress Daniel. In his imagination, Daniel wears a crown and the other character's faces are blocked out by an X sign. Jay accidentally dropped his phone and wallet on the ride, and he started searching for it. He cried tears of joy when some people found it for him. Jay helped Daniel exchange the damaged clothes for his mother when his store employees were treating Daniel and his mother unfairly.

After Daniel went into a coma, Jay moved him into a VIP hospital room, and wouldn't even eat properly. He just kept researching for ways to Daniel up, and practically lived there to look after him, staying up day and night. When Daniel finally woke up from his coma, Jay cried while smiling. On school next day, he tried to protect Daniel from his fans, forgetting that he had fans too. It was later revealed that Jay wants to become a doctor because of what happened to Daniel.
