[Nyongtory] [GRI]Reunion

Chapter 1: Of Ending and A Beginning

It was an ordinary day, as Seungri takes another shot from his glass, getting drunk and slurred over words. Another night, another one night stand. The red haired noona, his company for this night, had gone an hour ago, already waiting for her money to be transferred. Seungri, head is spinning and stomach clenching, he is staring at the photo hanging on his wall, plastered for eternity at the back of his mind.

Four years after Bigbang got disbanded and the maknae –Seungri always, will always think of him as a maknae –spends another night of dreaming about their old days and wondering if his hyung –his favorite hyung –ever think about him like he always does about the older man.

Seungri wonders if there's part of Kwon Jiyong that still wishes for Seungri; that still loves Seungri.

"G-Dragon will be the guest for next week," the sad voice of his manager telling him he is worried. "What do you think?"

Seungri chuckles. "I'm a pro," he lightly says. He is. He owns a broadcasting company, he has contracts as MCs and actors, he has packed schedules of meetings for businesses he runs.

"I know. Good luck VI."

Seungri says arigatou gozaimasu then hangs up.

Sometimes he thinks it's funny, that he is no longer Seungri but VI, that he is no longer living in Korea but Japan, that his fans no longer demand him to sing but speak, that he was nominated for the best MC last year; that G-Dragon is still G-Dragon, that G-Dragon is still a talented song writer, that G-Dragon is still YG's child, that G-Dragon is still remained as the same, and Seungri, VI, is the one whose heart still broken whenever Lies played on the radio.

Seungri, VI, is the one who can't move on even when he is no longer little Seunghyun.

Daesung visits him often because he has most of his activities in Japan, let alone his solo concerts. Seungri gets the invitation for his Dome Tour in November this morning, the tickets were wrapped up neatly in a yellow envelope with Lee Seunghyun written in hangul and Daesung's cute little drawing of D-kun beside it.

Seungri had called him to say thank you and was surprised that it was Seunghyun who picked up the phone instead of Daesung.

"Yah, Maknae!"

"Hyung?"

"You're going right? Next week?" Seunghyun sounded excited that Seungri couldn't help but laughing. Two years in military didn't affect Seunghyun's childish side; seemed like four years of disbandment and lots of successful movies, albums, and art exhibitions also couldn't. "Daesung will kill you if you don't show up in his concert like last year."

Seungri heard a familiar laughter, Daesung must be beside Seunghyun. He's thankful that after all, their friendship seems to remain the same.

"I'll look at my schedule first, hyung."

"It's my birthday, come up or else I'll nag you forever."

Seungri laughed, the thought of Seunghyun nagging him every here and there wasn't new. "Anyway, I don't know you're in Japan."

"Only for three days though, I'll return to Seoul tomorrow night."

"Work?"

"I need to see some paintings for the auction next month," Seunghyun sighed.

"Ah, I've heard about that, good luck, hyung."

"You too, and congratulations for your award for...what was that? MC something?"
