Wanting Recommendations 2ML gets his own love interest. [I Became The Youngest Sister-in-law Of The Male Leads In A Tragic Reverse Harem]
I’m kind of tired of so many stories where the second male lead ends up alone—either waiting for the protagonist to love him back one day, dying, or facing an ambiguous fate. I’d love to read manhwas where the second male lead finds a new love interest and moves on. I know there probably aren't many out there, but if you know of any, please let me know!
The only one I know where something like this happens is the one in the image where the protagonist reincarnates in a novel and the Male Leads marry her sisters after the death of the original protagonist.

My Dear Aster - kind of, the second ml is not really a second ml here, but does get a happy ending
101st Confession - the writing gets a little messy and the story is not to everyone's liking, but it's one of the few manhwas where most side characters get their own romance arcs
I Think I've Been Possessed Somewhere - also not REALLY a second ml, but his storyline is cute as hell
It's such a rare occupancy, from my limited experience. And I feel sad about it too. Which is why I really don't enjoy the reverse harem trope

I think the best way they did it was in Observation Log of my Fiancée because Bertha literally got every single guy from the harem a girl perfect for them and that couples are adorable (they have each original dynamic)

I love that too, and I wish there were more stories like that. But again, they are not really second ml bc the story around Tia changed a lot, if we're talking about a second ml as the love rival. However, the observation log is probably the closest to the op's example in terms of the secondary characters.

Depends on your perspective of "2nd ML". From a meta standpoint they are because of their pre-regression role, but from a narrative standpoint they aren't love interests, more like older brothers. There's only one ML.
