aah, this was very sad. Normally I'm actually not one to read angst/sickness fics.
The ending was well done, concise yet a bit ambiguous, as in the general style of the fic. It was powerful. The start was also good, it immediately has your attention. And I also liked how in one of the last paragraphs you intertwined past (italic) and present. It shows well how Jiyong is absorbed in his thoughts and the whirlwind of things that is happening, until Seunghyun snaps him out of it.
One matter of attention is the punctuation: “I know.” He repeats. Should be "I know," he repeats. If you're not sure of the rules, you could just open a novel and you'll quickly see!
Another thing is the characterization. The danger with fics like this is that it can become a hospital story about any two persons. You need to make sure that it is their story, gd and top's. Include little quirks of them, outward descriptions, snippets that show their dynamic. It doesn't need to be extensive, especially because this is a short story and the focus is elsewhere

Ah, I really liked this! It's kind of one of those subjects that could possibly happen so it makes it a little sadder. Hopefully Seunghyun (or Jiyong!) doesn't actually develop lung cancer.
Yeah, the very thought had me a little hesitant on even writing such a fic based on a strong topic but I can't really halt a thought process when I start so this drafted baby came to be. I hope for the best of health for them though ofc !
