I'd suggest you'd watch/listen to that before you read the last bit with Seunghyun and Nicole, just so you can understand it. Suit yourself if you don't, but its highly reccomended. Ignore the dialogue in the beginning of it.

Its been several months since the violent occurances in Honolulu, Hawaii. Things seem to have blown over in everyone's lives. Kim was just about done cleaning out her office, as her internship was coming to an end the next day. Summer was coming, and in the fall she planned to open up her own private practice in New York. She heard her door click and she looked up to see Youngbae. He wore a black pinstriped suit and a black fedora, and looked very business like. She didn't know how to react at first, but then the scenes months previously began to vision within her head, and she turned from him to her desk, shoving her frames into a small brown box. He came around to the other side of her desk and stared her down until she sighed and looked up at him.
" You dissapear after you blackmail me, and now you show up out of nowhere...what do you want ? " she huffed.
" I want to apologize, sincerely. " he said.
" Why'd you do it ? " she asked.
" Why did I do what ? "
" Why did you use me ? " Youngbae let go of the desk and walked around her, his hands in his pockets as he thought long and hard about her question. Part of him wanted to answer her and the other part of him still felt as though revealing too much information was fatal.
" I didn't use you Kim, I had to do what I had to do. Its what I do. " he said, stopping his half-circle and looking out the window.
" What do you mean its what you do ? "
" Kim, I'm 24 years old, I go from country to country, city to city, to end major gangs...this was simply a stop on my map " he turned to her. Kim was absolutely shocked and didn't know whether or not to believe him.
" B-but, everyone knows you, you've been here for two years..." she said.
" As long as I look as young as I do, I stay in schools as long as I need to in order to form connections and bonds in all the right places, then I do what I need to do and leave immediately. " he said.
" Well...that's...quite a job. " she wasn't sure how to express herself. " Where are you at now ? "
" I can't disclose my locations, but I'm back in junior year, weaving my way through another situation. "
" Not seducing anymore psychology interns I should hope ? " she joked. He smiled.
" Nope, this was the first time I've ever had to pull that role... " his phone began to buzz in his pocket and he took it out, reading the screen.
" That's my sign to leave, I could only come to check up on everything. " he walked over to Kim and kissed her lightly on the cheek. She felt her face growing hot as he pulled away.
" Good luck with your....things that you do. " she awkwardly said. He turned to her before he left.
" Thank you, don't worry someday we'll meet again. " and with that, he left.

Seungri closed his letter to Trang and took it to the small post office that was within the camp grounds. He walked inside the wooden cabin and handed the letter off to the desk representative.
" You never miss a day...you must really love this girl, huh ? " she said, taking the letter and placing it in the outbox.
" Something like that... " he smiled, leaving the cabin.
" Yo Seungri " someone came up to him.
" Hey Chris, what's up ? " Seungri asked, acknowledging his friend.
" Not much really, got told off by Kline, but whatever, I got my shit to handle when I leave this stupid place...our parents really expect this to have an impact on us, pffft. " Chris brushed off the whole program in itself.
" Word...Chris you need to take somethin' from this, not everything they saying is what you wanna hear, but its what you need to hear sometimes. " Seungri walked alongside Chris as they made their way to the field.
" Lets pick up the pace boys, come on " a counselor jogged past them, rushing them.
" I don't need people breathin down my back for every single thing, I can handle stuff myself... " Chris said.
" You just do you, I had enough of a scare before my dad put me in here, I'm ready to straighten up and fly right. " Seungri replied. Chris laughed.
" But see its easier for you to say that 'cause you don't know about all the street stuff I gotta deal with. " Chris said as they reached the field.
" I know more than you'd think " Seungri spoke as he stretched. Chris paused and looked at him, before letting it go and stretching himself as well.

The lights were low at the Benedum theatre, and the audience filled with hundreds of sophisticated people of all generations became quiet as they awaited the performance. As the sound system began to play " No Day But Today " from the musical RENT, a spotlight appeared on Nicole, curled in a ball in the center of the stage. She slowly looked up and out into the audience, scanning over them slowly as she stood up, and as they expected her to dance, her mouth opened and the sweetest sound emerged as she sang;
" There is no future, there is no past... "
Seunghyun came out from behind the curtain and held Nicole from behind as he continued her song.
" Thank God this moment's not the last " he sang, they both looked off into the distance as they harmonized together.
" There's only us, there's only this...forget regret, or life is yours to miss...no other road, no other way...no day but today " as the music began to build up, the two seperated from each other to their respectives sides of the stage as they reached out for each other, several other vocally-talented dancers came out singing with them. The men sang a different part than the women did, but together the message was clear, and the energy felt was overwhelming.
" Will I lose my dignity, will someone care ? " the male singers sang.
" I can't control, my destiny " the women sang at the same time. And the song rose in tempo and volume, and from the back came an asian dancer with long brown hair, he took long strides over to Nicole and circled her as she watched him and sang. Another dancer came out from the back, from the older dance troupe, he was an asian man and he interacted with Seunghyun and he continued his song as well.
" Without you, the hand gropes, the ear hears, the pulse beats, life goes on, but I'm gone, cause I die without you " Nicole felt tears building up but she didn't let it ruin her voice as the power only increased behind it.
" There's only now, there's only here, give in to love, or live in fear. " Seunghyun continued on his side. As the dancers filled the stage, the two solo dancers dissapered back into the crowd and Nicole and Seunghyun turned to each other, walking slowly towards the center of the stage as the song came down to an emotional finish.
" No day but today " he sang the harmony.
" I die, without you " she sang at the same time, and the dancers in the background quieted down, leaving only Seunghyun and Nicole to finish the song. He held her, and kissed her soft, taking her hand as they finished.
" No day but today " together they sang, as the song closed, and the lights focused on the two in the center of the stage and slowly closed off. The audience stood up, clapping loudly and cheering. There was not one person in the theatre who was seated. As the lights came up, everyone came to the front of the stage and bowed. When Seunghyun and Nicole walked to the front hand in hand, the crowd went wild, and someone in the front row threw up two white roses. Seunghyun bent down and picked them up, handing one to Nicole and smiling at Jiyong who was applauding in the front row, with tears running down his face as he cheered for them.
Finally they walked back behind the curtains, and everyone ran back to congratulate everyone.
" Hey you, " Nicole called out to the dancer she had to interact with, he stopped and looked over at her. She came to him and gave him a tight hug.
" Thanks for being a part of this " she smiled at him.
" You didn't cry in the rehersals Niks ! " he said, returning her smile.
" I know, I know...I felt it this time, like he was with me...in spirit, through your dance so...thanks for that. " she said.
" You're welcome " he replied.
" Nikki ! " Jiyong called running to Nicole and sweeping her up in his arms, clutching her closely and almost suffocating her. He finally let her go and they laughed at his excited behavior.
" You did so good, you and Seunghyun...everyone did! I'm so proud of you " he hugged her again. Seunghyun finished thanking everyone and walked over to them.
" You guys ready ? " he asked, his rose in his hand.
" Yeah we are " Nicole said, grinning. Everyone followed Seunghyun to the car and got inside. He began driving off while Jiyong blabbed about how brilliant the performance was. Finally they pulled up at the cementary and they all quieted down and got out of the car. The rocks crunched beneath their feet as the three of them walked up the hill. Once they reached the mauseoleom, Jiyong took his keys out and opened the door, and they all stepped inside. Nicole stepped forward and placed her rose on Daesung's coffin, running her hand across it.
Seunghyun handed her his own rose and she turned to the other side, to the small casket, she ran her hand across it as well, feeling the lettering she knew far too well:
Here lies the beautiful Rita Giselle Kang-Mays, a little angel so precious, God decided to keep her in Heaven where she belongs. Forever in our hearts.
She laid the rose over-top the engraved words and stepped back a little, sighing.
" No day but today " she finally said, looking from Jiyong to Seunghyun. They both placed their arms around her shoulders and left the mauseoleom together.
" Truer words were never spoken . " Seunghyun agreed.
