Cleaning the Memories
How Could You Do This?They arrived back at the dorm at the end of the day, exhausted but satisfied. They'd spent the day working on an album track list and GDs song.
Their comeback date had been set for four weeks from now, giving them just enough time to prepare. They'd need all the time they could get. Preparing for this particular comeback would be one of the hardest things they'd done yet.
Siwon dropped them off in front of the dorm with promises to pick them up again at 7 sharp the next morning. They went upstairs and opened the door.
Top flopped down on the couch and the TV, ignoring Taeyang's comment that it was too late and to move his off the couch because he was sleeping there.
GD retreated to his room to make some adjustments on the song. Chances were he'd be up half the night making it perfect.
Seungri sighed and went to his room to clean it before Top killed him. He closed the door and the light, heart sinking at the extent of the mess.
He bent down and picked up the broken lamp at his feet, figuring he'd buy a new one later. He threw it out as he passed the garbage can on his way to remaking his bed.
An hour later, he'd cleaned most of the room. He pushed the desk back against the wall and picked up his laptop. As he moved to put the computer back on the desk, it fell from his grasp and opened slightly. He rolled his eyes in frustration and picked it up, opening it fully. As he placed it on the desk, he froze.
His desktop background could now be seen, it's light spilling onto the desk. But he couldn't remember....
The last time he'd been on the computer, his background had been a picture of the five of them with an army theme.

"Did I....?" Seungri asked himself, trying to remember the muddled week. Then it came to him.
That first, awful night. He'd gone back to sleep after Taeyang's little freak-out, only to wake up an hour later, drenched in sweat. He'd had a horrible nightmare about Daesung. Since he hadn't actually seen Daesung's body on the bed, it had been up to his imagination. And his imagination hadn't been kind to him. He'd dreamed up all sorts of terrible situations concerning Daesung's death. When he woke up, he'd needed something to calm him down, so he'd turned to his laptop.
For some reason, when he'd turned his computer on, in his befuddled, half-asleep state, he'd been annoyed with the picture he'd set as his background. He must have switched the picture then; finding the picture that captured Daesung's smile, one he hadn't seen for a while.
Seungri how handled the laptop with extra care, as if the picture of Daesung had somehow changed its quality.
He jumped as Top came in, and slammed the computer shut. He didn't want Top thinking he was weird.
"What's wrong?" Top asked, noticing Seungri's shifty look.
"Um, nothing, hyung. I just....cleaned the room. You don't have to sleep on the floor tonight."
"Thanks."
Seungri abruptly changed the subject. "Nothing on TV?"
Top rolled his eyes. "There's plenty on TV. Young-bae fell asleep and started getting into my personal space."
That being said, the two of them prepared for bed and lay down.
Seungri closed his eyes, seeing his background in his mind's eye. It calmed him a little, and he had a feeling that this would be a more relaxing sleep then he'd had in a while.

I know this is an incredibly lame and extremely boring filler chapter. I'm sorry! *hands out Daesung muffins in consolation*
But there's only one more chapter left in this fic and I'm kinda stalling for as long as possible. I don't want to give it up just yet! But don't worrry, if this fic hasn't made you cry yet, I think this last chapter might. I'm really not trying to sound bragging or anything. But I almost made myself cry when I wrote the last bit. I think you guys'll like it.
So bear with this dumb chapter and hopefully you'll think the last chapter will be as epic as I'm saying it is.
