Second Lead Syndrome

Second Lead Syndrome is when the main character of a show/book is in a love triangle and the main character is leaning towards the primary lead/ the first love interest but the audience is rooting for the second lead/ the second love interest to end up with the main character.

Me: “Ugh, I really want belly to end up with Conrad, they have YEARNED for each other !!”

Friend: “Oh wow, you’ve got second lead syndrome bad”
