Summary:

Between Seunghyun, sushi, and things that are broken.

Chapter Text

After all this time, Seungri's ringtone is still Last Dance. It's a sad song and Seungri admits he had hard times during the recording due to the overwhelmed feelings, but it turned out beautiful, one song that Seungri still often unconsciously sings even though it brings him back to the hot and cold feelings of being a part of BIGBANG.

It was released before Seunghyun went to the service, as a part of their 3rd full album, MADE. It had taken them over 3 years for preparation, tangled with the promotion, tours and concerts. Seungri wasn't sure of how it was back then, but as Daesung said, they made it in the end, at least. It wasn't easy but it was worth it. Seungri can still vividly remembers the tears in VIPs eyes as they sang the song. Sometimes, when there's no one around, sitting on the leather sofa he owns, he would dance by himself, listening to the song and the deafening chant from the fans that's trapped in the memories inside his head and heart all over again until the morning comes.

Sometimes, when it's too much, Seungri would pretend that he was never a part of it, of that song, of BIGBANG, of Jiyong, because it hurts; a lot.

"Have you seen this?"

Seungri glances sideways to see his manager grinning from ear to ear, his eyes shines with pure happiness that sets Seungri into a good mood.

"What is it, hyung?"

There, in the newspaper, first page, Daesung's recent photo along with "D-LITE'S 3RD DOME TOUR TICKETS SOLD OUT IN 2 MINUTES". Seungri feels the same excitement tugs in his heart, he's proud. More than proud actually, because Daesung deserves it, after everything he had done, for not nagging anyone, for not drowning himself in the parting, for coming and helping Seungri picked up himself even though Seungri knew that Daesung was also shattered, also scared.

"I received the ticket this morning," the manager continues. "Will you go?"

If Seungri wasn't sure about it, he is now. "Of course!"

"Great! I can't wait to see him again."

Seungri feels bad. They couldn't make it to the concert last year, which was Daesung's second Dome Tour, the first after the disbandment. Seungri was still busy picking up himself, offering and accepting contracts and agreement here and there, and he had to drag his manager with him. It wasn't new, his manager was once BIGBANG's, to Seungri's luck. He had always thought that the manager would want to do something with Jiyong or Youngbae or Seunghyun or Daesung but never him. That the older male opted to ask Seungri if he needed someone to help the schedules management surprised him; and that he agreed even after Seungri told him that they had to move to Japan shocked him.

Seungri was beyond thankful; he still is, every day.

To any outsiders, it would look like Seungri who was supposed to be the first one to move on; to get over BIGBANG. Known as star DJ, owned lots of buildings, getting praised as businessman –who knows waffles would be a hit? –had made people expected Seungri to be the first one to come out, after all the fuss and cries from both media and their fans.

Turned out it was Daesung, though, who had made announcement about his next solo album, first Korean one, along with the list of cities and schedules for his upcoming tour. Daesung had always been the matured one, despite that it was Seungri who wore suit and pointing shoes the most. Seungri couldn't meet his eyes when Daesung visited him one afternoon.
