Cant wait to throw Maya and Josy under the bus in chapter 7 by letting Maya's father know what they're upto then spend all of the inheritance on lapdances from Nicole... but who am I kidding it's not like we're not gonna be forced to act as her boyfriend and pay her tuition regardless of being on the third-wheel route or not.
That's not going to happen because the MC, even a DIK MC, isn't that spiteful and callous. They are important characters in this game because they're main LIs which means they're not going anywhere.
I'll be so pissed if DPC forces us to act as Maya's boyfriend
As much as I would personally love a scenario where Maya proclaims him as her boyfriend and he just goes along with it to help her out, this feels like something out of a cheesy, Jennifer Aniston rom-com and I don't think that quite fits this game.
What I think would be more likely is that, if her Dad is still in the room when they get back and if the MC is present when that happens, he'll stand up for Maya and her Dad would ask, "And who are you?", at which point we'd get the choice of, "Her boyfriend", or, "Her friend", with the first option being greyed out for those not in a relationship with them.
