Sorry, guys! During system maintenance, some functions like comment are unavailable.

keen on breaking up the side couple and became hitched in the side instead

u know when the side couple becomes even better than the main couple and people read the main just to get to the side?? where the individuals of the side couple used to be minor antagonists/road blocks in the main couple's relationship?

a self indulgent list hehe. honestly kimi ni todoke's kurumi would fall into this category but the ml just doesn't resonate with me lol

the main couple was so boring and lowkey painful to read but i was too curious about side couple to quit. uke is the delinquent looking kid who dated the main couple uke but he was insane trash that tried to date rape him while seme is the "ideal" man main couple uke tries to date. uke finds out seme is trash and tries to expose him

omegaverse. old(er) men yaoi. never read the main story and couldn't find anyone who summarized the relevant chapters. just be patient, the story slowly reveals the puzzle pieces. uke is the older brother of the seme in the main couple and used to date the uke of the main couple. now years have passed and he works abroad. a mature and slow romance between two souls burdened by their own regrets

omegaverse. both couples are excellent.
main couple: dominant alpha who accidentally turns a beta into an omega after a one night stand.
side couple: the main couple uke's ex who traumatized him. bc he believes alphas can only be with omegas. was obsessed with his ex after his gender change. his soon to be lover is a cheerful beta who has been main couple's seme's childhood hyung figure since they were young.

this one was shit compared to the main couple (twink top and delinquent bottom. just my food) but i guess it fits into this category. uke tried to break up main couple and meets main couple uke's friend who listens to his troubles and falls for him with all his ugliness.

switch up in the seasons is pretty jarring. not just in the art but also in the content going from kdrama secret baby angst to full blown bl non con activity. season 2 is dedicated to the side couple. antagonistic ex husband of uke and elder brother of seme in s1 is disowned and falls into a contract engagement. basically trash gets some recycled loving. omegaverse. s1: alpha x omega. s2: beta x alpha.

for quick skim read context:

he doesn’t try to break up the main couple but bc i love the second couple so imma pop it in here. he does act as a minor antagonist to remind the main couple to not be so obvious. s1 is main couple and their domestic slice of life. no real plot, no smut. s2 is side couple super unexpected but so good. side stories revolve around the second couple and an accidental pregnancy (omegaverse)
