Rough draft of the Epilogue of Praestigium ////

Act one : Jaejoong visits Jiyong's studio at wee hours bringing food. He wanted to talk and apologize for his and Dara's mistake, for cheating on him. Jiyong listens silently. 

act two: Jaejoong goes to Yg a few days later making everyone shocked since he was alone, Dara being in Japan, and went directly to his office. Rumours starts to spread that maybe they are planning to marry but brush it off since they've been only dating for 6 months. Yg and Jaejoong comes out and Top talks to Jae, with all bb members present, and he says that he got the blessing of Yg for Dara's hand in marriage much to the shock of everyone. They all look at Jiyong and he says his congratulations. 

Act three: Flashback to Jiyong and Jaejoong's convo. Jiyong says that he knew from the start. They were already a mess even before she knew jaejoong. She fell out of love. He knew that Dara wanted to break up with him but he always found ways to leave or cut off the conversation. And then she met jaejoong, she loves him, but he thought that she would love him again. All the scandals he made up may have destroyed his image but when it's just them, he begs her to stay saying he can't live without her and knowing how kind she is, she stays with him even when it hurts her. He felt sorry for holding unto Dara, amidst everything she stood by him. He realized he was just being foolish and he was hurting them in the process of his actions. Seeing her wearing Jaejoong's ring was his last straw, he realized he's got to let her go. Jaejoong says he understands and once again apologizes. He then tells him about their plans of marriage, and he congratulates him. Telling him to take care of her and for them to be happy. 

Act four: Dara came back to korea the next day jaejoong announced their engagement. Jaejoong and her went to Yg's office together to formally announce their wedding, and to give out their wedding invitation. It would be held in three months. They leave his office and Jae goes to a prior commitment leaving Dara with BB and 2ne1 members. They are all shocked with how fast things are going, since they've just been dating for six months, they felt that they were rushing things. Dara only smiled and gave out the invitations, since they are close friends. They are shocked to see the date. She tells them that it would be just a small gathering. Seungri suddenly bursts about Jiyong and Dara's relationship saying that they were together for almost a decade and never even heard of an engagement, now for only 6 months, she's getting married. An eery silence blankets the room and Jiyong throws his shoe at Seungri, calling him names making the others laugh. 

Act five: Jiyong receives a chat from BB group chat saying they should all meet up, eat then party. Jiyong arrives and the atmosphere was tense. Jiyong asks why they were all down and Yongbae, being his bestfriend asks how he's feeling. True to what Seungri said, Dara and him dated longer than Jaejoong and Dara and never were they engaged. Yongbae also talks about how Dara rejected his proposal, and they were already 5 years on the go. Jiyong defends Dara and says that they were just too young that time and had different aspirations still. He tells them to not worry about it and for that he wishes her happiness because he too know is happy. Seungri jokes about his affairs and says maybe that's why they broke up and Jiyong just laughs. He says that she deserves better than a rotten guy like him. Yongbae comforts him and they just look at each other in understanding. 

Act six: The day after, Jiyong receives a text from Dara asking if he's busy and that she wants to talk. They meet at a secluded cafe and seat at a corner. Things are awkward and silent. Dara starts of asking how he's doing and jiyong just smiles, asking her if she's happy. She says yes. He apologizes for holding on to her, telling her that she might already know this since he probably has told her already but jiyong thinks it must come from him. Dara also apologizes about cheating on him and Jiyong says it's okay. He already knew that her love for him was gone when she rejected his ring, but he turned a blind eye and held on to her. He also apologizes for making her look pitiful, with him and his affairs widely known and Dara says its okay since he did it for her. She apologizes for being blind and for his efforts to save her image. Jiyong accepts her apology and chuckles, finding the situation funny, they've been apologizing to each other for the past half-hour that they've been talking. Dara laughs alongside him and offers her hand to shake, which he accepted. Calling a new friendship for them both. 

Act seven: Jiyong calls yongbae drunk off his . Yongbae goes to Jiyong's apartment seeing him wasted. He helps him up and Jiyong starts to bawl, he then tells him everything. Yongbae is furious but Jiyong begs him to not say a thing to anyone. He loves her so much that he'd rather feel this pain than for her to be dragged along with it too. shedding the lie and everyone knowing the truth would do no good to anyone. He doesnt want her to get hurt, he just wants her to be happy. Even when it's not with him. 

Act eight: Dara's wedding day. Its held in busan, Dara's hometown in a small church. Close friends and close relatives has gathered to share the solemn event. BB is incomplete, with Jiyong being in japan for a month now for his promotions for his comeback. Seungri jokes that he must have rushed his solo in japan to avoid being in korea to be at Dara's wedding. He then bitterly says that Jiyong must have regretted cheating on Dara. Yongbae grabs his collar in fury and says that they don't know how much Jiyong loved Dara much to the shock of everyone. He then sets off to leave, seeing Jaejoong about to enter the church. 

Act Nine: Night time in Japan, same day as the wedding. Jiyong turns on the tv seeing news of Jaejoong and Dara's wedding. Theyre were pictures of the church and even the guests. His doorbell rings and he opens it to see Yongbae, a bag full of liquor and food at both hands. He greets him merrily and enters his suite, stopping by the tv again, a picture of Dara smiling beautifully in her wedding dress with Jaejoong by her side, their rings glistening. She looks beautiful, he says and yongbae replies. Yes she is. 

the end////// 

**ps. one act takes up more than a thousand words *more or less lol* i just can't find the drive to write this. but i just can't help but write up a draft since my open ending was TOO open. it was way too hanging so i ended up settling for this. I also thought of writing a short epilogue that would cut certain acts but it would throw me off, so i finally just settled with this one. An open ending for jiyong and a happy ending for Dara. you can think of other lines and scenarios with this hahaha. okay im done.***
