* The Korean manhwa ''Green Boy'' has a more direct spin on this. [[Genki Girl|Ha-Eun]] has a crush on [[Badass Bookworm|Taejin]], who is already on crushing on [[Action Girl|Jae-in]]. Since Ha-Eun wants to be friends with both Jae-in and Taejin, she happily pushes them both toward each other even as she makes no secret about her crush on Taejin to both of them while assuring them that she'd never act on it because she [[Shipper On Deck|finds them both adorable together]].

Unless you manage to [[Dogged Nice Guy|nag her into a date]]. {{spoiler|It all goes downhill from there, and unlocking her effectively [[Poisonous Friend|cuts you off from being able to win almost all characters you haven't met yet.]] For worse, Miyako soo shows her [[Yandere]] side too...}}
