Was really messed up but really good. Anyway, two childhood friends. They’re in love. I can’t remember if they’re in a relationship or not, but one guy brings a lesbian coworker home to visit his parents and pretend they’re in a relationship. They bang, she gets pregnant and he has to marry her. He and his friend are distant for years. The friend sees the wife when she’s on her death bed, and she admits she resented him/was scared of him taking her husband away. Wife dies, they eventually get together again.
The love interest dies in the end, but I’m pretty sure they lived a long, happy life together so I wasn’t super upset by it. Then some years pass and the remaining guy dies and they’re kids in the afterlife or a flashback together.
Kid also has a gay friend and they had a brief romance together but ultimately remained just friends. Kid got married and had a kid of his own when he grew up.

Sotries where the main couple is straight and the secondary couple is gay. Or the other way around.
And when i say secondary i mean like their own plot line like with Jazz for two with that Doyoon guy and the other dude. That big.

I don’t know if this is what you’re looking for but, ML is in a straight relationship rn and there is a whole story about him and his male ex as well.

Its smut, lesbian side couple
How do you make it not creepy or weird for you to read or watch stuff where characters have the names of people you know irl? Like ive heard BJ Alex is good but John and Alex are the names of my brothers lmfao
A bit weird since sometimes they use my step family's names. A lot. So I usually change the names in my mind. I would use Ren, Ryu, Jin, Sou, etc..
Oh, but his real name is not "Alex"
I forget about my family, it’s pretty easy, just erase them from your brain
I have never read or seen any stories that had family members names but i did play a episode game where the love interest had the same name as my ex (who im still friends with), tbh i just kinda blocked it out
Lol, one I read recently had my nephews name in it so I mispronounced it on purpose inside of my head
