    Hmm... Maybe to make the mains envy them and hurry up?

    The side pair doesn't get as much "panel time" as the main couple. Naturally, their relationship will have to be less complicated and, in a sense, more "one-dimensional" in order for their relationship to blossom; side couples have to end up together with less chapters and, thus, opportunities for development are limited. That's why they just "hit it off" so quickly. They contribute in lightening the mood during conflicts between the main characters. They essentially serve as an additional fluff X smut element when we're feeling sad on behalf of the main couple's (in this case, Alex and DG) conflicts. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

    I guess my tastes have become more “gourmet” as I get older so I have higher expectations for even side couples from authors cuz I love the angst the main couple has, whereas the side couple just feels a little meh for me personally. There are a lot of manga in which I become heavily vested in the side couples (sometimes more so than the main though rare) but not in this case ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

    ohboi i thought you meant the main. my bad. tho in that case i disagree. the side couple is kind of more satisfactory than the main. for the sake of not being cliche.

    I see what you mean but something about how the seme looks isn’t appealing to me I don’t mind older looking semes but he feels off somehow I love the uke chanwoo though

    i see. it's probably abt him kindof manipulating chanwoo? i guess? or not? hopefully you're enjoying still.

    Ohh okay. I get what you mean, personally I like MD and Chanwoo more than Jiwon and DG, even if they're relationship doesn't have that much depth. I hope that we do see more than just their BDSM relationship in the future tho (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

    Yes still enjoying this manga, my friend, quite immensely I might add (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
    Only thing I feel off is that md feels kinda like a greasy car salesman just a smidge lol but I agree if their relationship gets more depth than def will pique my interest :)))
