Well 😭😭 th's whole tactic would have to change, because instead of material comfort he'd have to promise freedom and independence. And it would be way easier for Taehyun to marry him bc Beomgyu's background is properly illustrious even if his family isn't super rich probably, he's the son of a sovereign which is impressive plus marrying him would not indebt taehyun or his father to any of the important imperial families, just some islander nobles they don't care about that much so it would be a good choice for them. And Beomgyu would keep testing Taehyun's resolve to marry him even if he'd be a disobedient wife and tease and torture him by saying all the things he could do if Taehyun let him have the freedom he's offering but taehyun is bull-headed so he'd go through with it regardless. And Beomgyu would find him a little bit more loveable each time, and he'd yell at him for abandoning him during his heat when he'd do it to Beomgyu and taehyun would be like it has to be this way I'm sorry and beomgyu would be like wtf are you talking about and Taehyun would do his best to be avoidant but Beomgyu would nag it out if him anyway because he'd have tested Taehyun's ilk during their courtship and trust that taehyun won't retaliate. And he'd be like you know. What if I fucking want you do and taehyun would be like then I guess I would have to and Beomgyu might be a bit hurt but they'd step by step it until Taehyun felt comfortable. And could fulfill his duty to him. And taehyun would be more mad to get a concubine. And Beomgyu would be less inclined to start an affair because he'd have a relationship with his husband 😭😭
