▲ The affectionate appearance of the two encountered at the <Haechi> regular meeting
Seo Baek-han (29), the eldest son of Special Assemblyman Seo Hong-gyu and Hye-eun Gallery Director Ahn Ye-seon, and Joo Tae-hyun (22), the youngest of Chairman Joo Il-wook of DH Group and Archery Association President Yoo Young-hwa's four sons and one daughter, held a private wedding ceremony this morning at the Seoul Donghwa Hotel.
The unexpected marriage between a prestigious family that has produced prime ministers since the Joseon Dynasty and DH Group, one of the leading conglomerates of the Korean Empire, is drawing attention from political and business circles.
The offices of Assemblyman Seo and the public relations department of DH Group announced, "The wedding ceremony was held modestly at Hoyeon, a Korean restaurant in Donghwa Hotel, with only the immediate families of both parents present, and we ask for your understanding that further details are difficult to convey as it is a personal matter."
Although it is possible for same-sex individuals with the same traits to register their marriage, it is not a common occurrence. In particular, the marriage between Alphas is rare worldwide. However, it is said that the two were able to become close easily because they shared the same traits as a common denominator.
Seo Baek-han and Joo Tae-hyun, who are founding members of <Haechi>, a volunteer group for descendants of independence activists, naturally developed tender feelings for each other as they had frequent opportunities to meet since childhood.
In fact, it is said that there was no one in <Haechi> who did not know about this couple's cute and lovely love story.
According to an insider, the two were close as older and younger brothers for a long time, and then naturally developed into lovers as Joo Tae-hyun consulted with him about the process of transferring to Pyongyang University.
Since the two are even each other's first love, the exciting love story of these 'real gold spoons' is expected to continue to heat up various social media platforms.

Wow, their face combination is magnificent ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I'm not only stanning Yeonhwa Palace, but now I'm going to stan a politician and a chaebol ㅠㅠ
➥ ㅇㅇ They don't even have any scandalsㅋㅋㅋ They're both Haechi members, and they haven't been kicked out yetㅋㅋㅋ
➥ Why is it a big deal that they haven't been kicked out yet?
➥ Haechi has strict requirements for maintaining regular membershipㅋㅋㅋ There's an annual quota for volunteer work that must be filled, and you're immediately out if you have unpaid taxes ㅇㅇ
➥ More than anything, they're genuinely certified descendants of independence activists ㅋㅋ There's a reason why Haechi acknowledges everyone who came from there, even if they were kicked out
How long is that special assemblyman thing going to last?? Does it make sense that Seo Hong-gyu is still a member of the National Assembly just because he was born to good parents?
➥ Yeah, descendants of independence activists are allowed to do that ㅇㅇ They're allowed to live well thanks to their ancestors and parents ㅇㅇ
➥ Hey, if you say that kind of thing in Pyongyang, you'll be dead serious... Seo Hong-gyu does his job really well
➥ Seriously, is it just Seo Hong-gyu who does his job well? Seo Baek-han's grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, all his ancestors were gods
➥ Honestly, Joo Tae-hyun is going to have a hard time... The citizens of Pyongyang are going to look at him like a thief who stole our son... Of course, if you only look at their ages, Seo Baek-han is the thief.
➥ National Assembly members or administrative officials aren't given unconditional privileges just because they're descendants of independence activists;; You have to build up your own specs like crazy to pass the special recruitment test. It'd be better to take the regular exam than to pass those standards?
Wait, 29 years old with 22 years old...?? How many years have they been dating? If an adult seduced a minor, isn't that a crime??
➥ It says they fell in love while consulting about transferring....
➥ Yeah, what's wrong with adults getting married? Royals and chaebols usually get married early
➥ With that face, that physique, and those specs, who cares about a 7-year age difference? I'd rather have a 7-year-old than a loser who doesn't have Dutch face and just hangs out on online communities ㅠㅠ
"The article's already out? That's faster than expected."
When I asked because the news section was flickering on Joo Tae-hyun's phone screen reflected in the car window, he nodded coolly.
I used to flinch without realizing it if I leaned this close to Joo Tae-hyun, but has he gotten used to the distance between us in the meantime? Or has he become more nonchalant because he's two years older? Well, maybe it's both.
"The reaction seems to be generally good. Although I haven't looked at all the comments."
"Good reaction? A twenty-nine-year-old marrying a twenty-two-year-old, there's no way."
"Well, from the part where it says they met and became friends in <Haechi>, everyone seems to be in a position where they can't say anything."
Well, there probably aren't any crazy bastards who would pick a fight with descendants of independence activists who fell in love while doing volunteer work. Still, it was unexpected that the public's reaction was so favorable.
"Isn't it a bit strange that an old man had a wedding with a twenty-two-year-old, and the reaction is only good? Maybe the assemblyman's office or the public relations department released some people."
When I muttered because I was really wondering, Joo Tae-hyun bit his lip slightly and then lowered his eyes slightly. Even though his facial expressions don't change much, Seo Baek-han now knows a little that he makes that face when he's worried about how to react.
"......Twenty-nine isn't old."
"Well, I'm close to thirty and you're close to twenty? Of course, I'm an old man compared to you, Tae-hyun."
"Still-."
Seo Baek-han leaned back against the seat and tilted his head back. It wasn't a joke he made expecting an answer from Joo Tae-hyun anyway.
Perhaps noticing that his husband on paper had no intention of continuing the conversation on this topic, Joo Tae-hyun commendably closed his mouth and stared blankly out the window.
When the conversation with Joo Tae-hyun stopped, the music playing in the car began to enter his ears. It was 〈Elegant Ghost〉, which Marc-André Hamelin performed at a piano recital, which he had been enjoying recently.
The process of preparing for the wedding with Joo Tae-hyun was similar to this music. It meant it was quite comfortable.
The troublesome parts of the wedding ceremony were all omitted for various reasons.
Joo Tae-hyun's older brothers and sisters seemed somewhat dissatisfied, but that was just the grumbling of siblings who wanted to support their youngest brother, so it wasn't annoying.
Joo Tae-hyun filled the newlywed home with things that were not flashy or extravagant, but classic and elegant.
It was fortunate that their tastes and eye for things were similar, since they had been living together for at least 10 years.
Curious about Joo Tae-hyun's condition, who was as still as a dead mouse, he glanced at him and saw him sitting blankly and picking at his fingers.
As always, Seo Baek-han, who acted comfortably as he pleased, found this silence comfortable, but Joo Tae-hyun still seemed awkward and at a loss when these moments came.
Seo Baek-han recalled the day when Joo Tae-hyun, at the age of twenty, came to him out of the blue and suddenly asked him to marry him. At that time, he waited for him to bring up the subject first, looking at the Illustrated Book, considering him in his own way, but Joo Tae-hyun tormented the soft skin under his fingernails until blood seeped out. Just like now.
'I want to marry you, hyung.'
'...I heard that hyung is scheduled to meet an Alpha.'
'...I, so, for that reason... I thought I might be the best option for hyung.'
It was true that he liked hyung, but that was all in the past, and now he liked being fucked by the same Alpha and had touched Switch. Joo Tae-hyun, who barely moved his lips in front of him, asking him to use him as his spouse for his smooth dating life... no, his sex life, saying that he would definitely be helpful.
Looking back, Joo Tae-hyun, who thought he was managing his facial expressions quite well at the time, was clumsy in everything.
I still like hyung.
I've never not liked you.
What's the point of having a gloomy and expressionless face? It was at the level of shouting his heart out with his whole body.
"Hyung, I just got a message from my sister. She said that our parents will contact you separately when they have time, so don't worry about this side and let's see each other after I come back from the US."
"Yeah, yeah. Same with our side."
I didn't check properly, but the situation was probably similar. The notification window was ringing so much that the messages sent by my family were floating down below, and I couldn't even think of checking them. Joo Tae-hyun and I were already out of our minds, so how much more would our parents be?
Moreover, the names that flashed through the notification window were mostly unwelcome greetings. I clearly emphasized that I would politely decline congratulatory money, but there were people who just deposited money according to their own feelings.
People who were really close knew that it would only cause trouble for us if they accepted the money, so they stayed still, but the lukewarm bastards were eager to do something for us.
Even though I only roughly skimmed through the message previews that were densely packed at the top, sighs kept escaping. Even if I cleared the notification window, a similar contact from a similar guy would pop up soon. Even though they said they wouldn't accept congratulatory money, why do they add these kinds of words? Why are they sending it even though they know I said I wouldn't accept it?
"Tae-hyun-ah. Do you have a lot of bastards who sent you money without your permission?"
"Yes. It'll be automatically canceled if I don't accept it, right?"
"Probably?"
I threw the phone, which had become hot enough to explode, somewhere on the seat, and Joo Tae-hyun followed Seo Baek-han's actions exactly. It was ridiculous that he was pretending to do the same action unconsciously while being fully aware of me.
Well… Seo Baek-han thought it didn't matter anymore.
His feelings hadn't changed much from the beginning. Whether Joo Tae-hyun still had feelings for him or not, he didn't intend to argue as long as he acted smartly like he was now.
If Joo Tae-hyun could pretend that he didn't have a single ounce of lingering feelings for him, if he could cleanly take only the parts that would benefit each other without leaving anything behind… Then he wouldn't care at all whether Joo Tae-hyun continued to have a crush on him, or secretly masturbated while thinking of him.
Rather, it was the behavior of the ideal spouse that Seo Baek-han had so desired, so he even felt like praising him.
"What time is your departure tomorrow?"
"Around 11:40 AM. It's delayed."
"Didn't your lover say they'd pick you up? Then you'll be with your lover today."
