“You don’t go to church on Sundays, do you?”5bf1de23b8a54867

Seo Baekhan, still holding f134016b1d the catalog of the 624e1a0782 exhibition he had been 9f038a8a3d looking at, strode towards 7ea9ea236e Joo Taehyun.cd314094cee72913

As he handed 428ab26d79 over the long, 3b2e1c48a8 rolled-up catalog, Joo f39de42eea Taehyun accepted it 8cf017f154 without asking why. The fact that 6a5661cb39 he seemed more 3a66885803 gloomy and dark ec15fcfafb than docile, despite fe9e795a08 being so compliant, 5f40e9aa1a was a talent bc9deb05a7 in itself.b61bc4364b50490e

“Even though they pushed for it, my family didn’t really do much. It was Second Prince’s b34d63c90b personal collection anyway, and 2865248000 we were only in e012fdae7a charge of minor things 7ab01fb942 like creating foreign language bf2eabfd95 audio commentaries and translation 4181c0ca6f booklets… Still, the reaction 68e1c9e987 behind the scenes was e14bdff054 significant.”84e8ba4e0d6ca3f9

The Crown Prince’s side, which 0ed528d4ad had been trying to win da66803f2a over Seo Baekhan’s other family 3abefa5312 members to show Second Prince, bf417eef42 arguing that Seo Baekhan’s personal 4e5faa3844 and family tendencies should be 5129cdf855 viewed separately from Second Prince’s 3c44b428b0 people, ended up embarrassingly empty-handed.0796af6ec22154d9

It wasn’t like the 8ae7ee4d29 exhibition was grand in 892dfdfa40 scale either. It would have f9ff76a8d6 been better if 33e8cce57a it had been c772d96323 a theme related 03f295fd7f to the history 472b6307cd of Yeonhwa Palace 9c0faacf13 or an exhibition c9e3cc20cd of ancient art 6a2d00a586 collected by Second 2213b8bd30 Prince, but this bb73a7ef58 special exhibition was 7f6dbb5f2e merely a propaganda 45cc10455d tool to promote d9e8185d28 Second Prince and d5628a648e Second Prince’s spouse.7fcdf94c354acab8

Excerpts from love letters exchanged c307513d1b between the couple, photos taken acdee80ddf together, a diary that Second 198c390d65 Prince had been diligently writing 017a505371 since he first held a f7554c6849 brush…83c4ab2098f8a5a5

It was a 68becb3389 collection of such 8eb79e8881 trivial items, and 0c51a54c9c the amount of ea84f945ea donation from his e85d9a739a mother’s side wasn’t 2d96cb01aa that significant, so 7eb85b1da9 the Crown Prince’s 52cc5849e8 side reportedly took ea756d6905 it even more 1ff69b0f24 humiliatingly.91b58fa569950df3

“Ah, yes.”2ca0b4d654df814c

Even though the explanation was 68d6573a59 long, Joo Taehyun listened to 4f0732f4d9 Seo Baekhan attentively. However, he still couldn’t f88e358fea guess why he had 531303d7f3 suddenly been stopped and 52a8af12fe told such irrelevant things, 6cac458aed so he just blinked acb14f0c2f his big eyes blankly.e799101ecc347945

Joo Taehyun and Seo 50146821f6 Baekhan used to be a7aed79981 frequently involved before Joo 995988481b Taehyun left for the 94d5f7643b United States, so even 4a1934ea34 if the two of 5db3d12463 them showed their faces f743d237dc at the special exhibition 195ed01ff7 together, it wouldn’t be eefcd9bc01 a big deal in 7f06695b07 itself.
