For anyone wondering — Iriya was a side character in the manga Alpha’s bride, where his friend Keiki is actually one of the main characters.
On Alpha’s bride, Keiki is the alpha seme who has a fated mate who’s…. Well…. A high school kid Lmfao. The age gap do be very real. The omega kid who’s the main character on Alphas bride (yeah you guessed it, he’s the “bride” — names Riku) gets jealous thinking Keiki and Iriya have a thing, but that’s all in his head (if you think about it it’s kinda hilarious that in both stories Keiki and Iriya’s friendship causes drama, I mean, the main lead here is also clearly jealous after seeing them together Lol). Iriya was very helpful towards Riku to the end of Alpha Bride when thinks got sour in his life, helping him get back on his feet. The main lead of this story doesn’t show up on Alphas bride.

Didn’t we see that exact storyline before with Jin and Cap. Lovesick simp being bitched at by bossy asshole violent blonde. I’m so over that, seriously disappointed with the way Tehir and chocolate haired dude are developing.
I hope the author pulls some more interest character dynamics back, like the ginger fox dude and blondie friends who banged back on the first chapters, and the black hair psycho.

Yeah but it's different this time because we're not going to see the lovesick simp hope to be loved back or to have a better relationship with their crush. We see him instead, fed up by his feelings and the person he has these feelings for. And I think since we're going to be in that kind of perspective it's going to be really hard to see the better in Tehir. As, unlike Jin who endured for something better to come from Charin, I don't think Kimoto will spare Tehir any of that. Tehir might have a harsher portrayal on what he's become and what he can't be ie. someone emotionally stable or sane or deserving of love.
But that's just how I view Kimoto and Tehir
being different to Jin and Charin.

Personally, it just feel repetitive to me. I love the concept of the story, the art, the vibes, but Jin’s and Captains’s dynamic was the least appealing thing to me of all the manwha. So to see the plot focusing on a pairing similar to them disappoints me, since I think there’s more interesting relationships to explore.

I think it's kind of the point here that we see the same kind of dynamic. Charin and Tehir can't help themselves because they share the same genetics and grew up in awful circumstances.
Sadly, sometimes, when a person is falling apart, there's someone who enables their erratic behavior. In this story those enablers are Jin and Kimoto.
I guess I'm taking this horny story very seriously and looking to deep into it.

Guess seme by the end of this chapter Seme finally realized he’s caught feelings. My prediction for what happens next — they sleep together bc Uke passed out and seme on the next morning tries to get close to him but Uke will be really angry. There’ll be some heavy angst coming up but it’s setting up for possible seme groveling arc (hoping for that).
Guuuys if you havens already check out Iriya’s story on Ω no Kashoku honestly I think it’s shaping up to be waay better than The alphas bride
