Sooneul

Sooneul is the femslash ship between Zoe Park and Crystal Choi from the Lookism fandom.

Canon
Zoe and Crystal both attend J High School's fashion department, although Crystal only attends school in her smaller form. The two are close friends in school, and they are often seen hanging out in the same friend group. However, when it comes to Crystal's other body, their relationship is strained. The two are often seen glaring at each other, and they talk much less than usual. This is mainly due to jealousy on Zoe's part and the love triangle between them and Daniel Park.

Despite their rivalry over Daniel, the two are shown to care deeply about one another. This is most apparent during the Daniel Park vs. Logan Lee arc. After being threatened by Logan, Zoe vows to protect Daniel so that Crystal can be happy with him. Crystal soon becomes protective over Zoe, even getting to the point where she slaps Daniel for not doing anything to help Zoe. She is seen crying over Zoe's situation and their confrontation later, as well as waiting outside of the bathroom stall that Zoe breaks down in.

There are multiple instances where Zoe mentions having a crush on Crystal. The first time is after Crystal saves Zoe and her friends from some bullies during the Picnic arc. The other instance is during the Wuthering J High School arc. It's important to note that both of these instances happened while Crystal was in a different body (smaller body and taller body, respectively). This happens to fit with Zoe's preference of personality over appearance.

Crystal also tends to perform romantic gestures towards Zoe without thinking. During the Wuthering J High School arc, Zoe tries using Mary's technique of untying her shoes to get Daniel's attention, but in the end, Crystal ends up rushing over to tie her shoes. There are numerous other scenes that include things like Crystal helping Zoe around the corner store in the same way that Zoe was helping Daniel.

Fanon
Sooneul is considered a rarepair, mainly due to the prevalence of slash ships within the fandom. Nonetheless, it is still seen as one of the most popular femslash ships in the Lookism fandom. The ship is overshadowed by people who ship Daniel Park with either of the girls. Some other ships that often clash with Sooneul are Zoe/Mira Kim and Crystal/Eli Jang. Despite this, the pairing still has some dedicated fans and a developing AO3 tag.
