Joongdok

Joongdok is the slash ship between Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk from the Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint fandom.

Canon
Yoo Joonghyuk was the protagonist of Kim Dokja's favourite web novel, "Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World" or "Ways of Survival" in short. Through his difficult childhood, he always used to say "I am Yoo Joonghyuk" to himself as a coping mechanism when he was being bullied and such. For Kim Dokja, Yoo Joonghyuk was a father, brother and best friend. The novel and Yoo Joonghyuk were Kim Dokja's ways of surviving.

Yoo Joonghyuk and Kim Dokja's first meeting was quite rocky. Yoo Joonghyuk held Kim Dokja in a chokehold while debating internally whether to kill him, as he felt like Kim Dokja was an abnormal factor in his 3rd regression.

Joongdok is an extremely popular ship in the Omniscient Reader's viewpoint fandom. Fans ship it because of their trust and companionship. In AO3, Joongdok is the most written ship for both Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk, and it has a wide fanbase. The ship does have a bit of resistance from fans who see it more as a bromance.
