    Hello!
    I’m looking for Danmeis where the MC (shou or gong) is in love with someone that (seemingly) doesn’t love him back.

    It could be a friends to lovers situation, where the MC believes the ML is straight, therefore the MC believes the ML will never love him back.

    Any recommendations are welcome!

    (Also this is my first ever post on this forum, let me know if I’m doing something wrong)

    Loneliness - MC and ML are 2 middle-aged working men who have been friends since high school. What ML doesn't know is that MC has been in love with him for the past 15 years. Slow burn, friends to lovers

    The Daily Life of Being the Campus Idol’s Fake Boyfriend - MC/ML are two closeted gays in mutual pining to decide to fake gay relationship to ward off the girls. Basically, 2 idiots pretending to be straight pretending to be gay

    Be My Wife Instead! - ABO. MC, a Beta, is neighbours with ML, an alpha. MC thinks ML is in love with his omega sibling and does everything to bring them together.
