Well actually, there's no such thing with "ends up with second male lead" cause whoever ends up with the mc, he's automatically the male lead!
just fyi tho
No not really bc The main lead we get more of his POV and we get more moments together with the female lead just cause the second male lead wins that doesn’t make the second male lead automatically the first choice Also, second male leads are usually always introduced later like on pure operation love if dowan wins that doesn’t make him the first choice or the male lead
There are times when authors edges us with a guy who's supposedly the "male lead" only for MC to end up with another guy who had less screen time and was considered the second lead. Even if the MC ends up with him he was still second choice and there was another before him so yea OP is correct
So, i'm actually looking for stories where fl/ml ends up with the second love interest. Really want to satisfy my second lead syndrome right now..
