Jiyong stands in front of an orphanage, Seungris' wheelchair in hand.

Seungri was giving a speech out in the open, the skies were grey and the wind was cool, signaling it will rain soon. 

Yet, many people came and attended his speech alongside the children from the orphanage. 

Seungri refused to sit while he gave speeches. He would stand, balancing himself on the crutches and pace around slowly while cracking jokes and inpiring people at the same time. Despite the doctors telling him his pain will worsen if he pushes himself this way. 

Jiyongs' heart remained heavy after what the doctor had told him. 

"It will be a miracle if he survives more than a month. We can't help him much since the abnormality has reached an extreme. Next time he gets an attack, we will not be able to save him."

It had been more than a month since then. They were in the third month since that incident.

Seungri had achieved what he wanted with both Jiyong and Chaerins' help. He had opened donations in the beginning and made videos on social media about his website for donations for people like him. He would personally visit the people in need and help them and more people would start reaching out to him when his donation website grew, then he turned it into a support website where everyone can share their stories and help eachother. He started organizations in support for people with disabilities and forced tranuality and now he was fighting for their equal rights in the industry for their jobs and human rights.

His restaurant grew immensely by then and he had to open three new branches. All of them were specialized for the disabled and he started a campaign where new graduates can intern in his restaurant.

 

 

They were back home and as usual, Seungri would insist on cooking and the other would prepare the table. 

They would talk, laugh and eat together before going to bed. 

A few soft kisses were shared and they would cuddle to sleep. 

Jiyong had kept all his work on hold. Requests kept piling up but he was unbothered.

It was raining when he woke up the next morning and prepared their breakfast. He would awake earlier than the younger because he didn't like seeing him handle all the kitchen work. 

Seungri woke up a while later, washing up before meeting him at the table. A good morning kiss was shared and they'd eat and talk about what they had to do today. 

"I wish to visit the art gallery today." Jiyong told the other while eating his eggs. 

"Let's go after my conference! I would like to visit it too." 

"We both are going together anyways!" 

 

 

The art gallery was serene and made them feel like they had taken a huge break from their schedules that were filled with noise and energy. 

It was a very nice feeling. 

Jiyong kept pulling away Seungris' wheelchair from the art that he couldn't resist touching.

"You will get us a fine, you !!" He hissed into the snickering boys' ear. 

He sighed, he was amazed with how the others' personality has n

Chapter 11: So bittersweet: at the same time is heartbreaking all the scene played so beautifully in my head in that way you described.
The atmosphere of all the chapter actually gave the ending a tone that felt more realistic, even being sad the scene and their dialogue was so romantic. Is it weird that I it made the story even more heartwarming to me?
We knew this would happen at the last chapter, and I loved how you deal with them talking about how Seungri would spend his last days and how he said he wanted jiyong to be happy after him.... That dialogue made me cry, you explored the most sad part and didn't felt tragic, instead explored their perspective on it in a manner emphasized their love for each other and how Seungri's last days would be as good as they both can make it.
It makes you really feel the meaning of the title, reinforced how much they were important to one another, added a very necessary and beautiful scene.... I absolutely loved this epilogue, thank you so much.
Congratulations for everything, I really thought you could not make this one better.
("Young and Beautiful" don't just fit on the story context, but the fact is on the "The Great Gatsby" movie, and here our Korean Gatsby is about to pass away... it might be alternative universe, but it gave the tears an extra push...TT) Keep up with the great work! <3
