Part 3 - I Only Need You to Be by My Side Until Always

16

Niel’s fever stayed for days, spiking Monday night and influencing his restless dreams.

He was in an empty train station. He could see scrawls of graffiti on the wall that he thought he recognised but he couldn’t place where he was in the city. The electronic boards, usually colourful and filled with information, were empty. There were no trains coming or going through here. He was waiting for something though, standing in the middle of the platform looking left and right for any sign of his train.

As he looked down to the left he spied a single person; they were simply standing, waiting too. It seemed they hadn’t noticed Niel yet, so he set off towards them. As he moved he noticed more and more people on the platform, how had he thought he was alone here? Niel was determined to get to the man that he had first spotted though, he seemed to know what was going on here. He would know what they were waiting for.

Niel felt like he had been walking for almost a minute. How long could this platform be? He increased his pace and seemed to go no faster. The man hadn’t even noticed him. Niel called out but his voice emerged as a small squeak instead. He shook his head frustrated. He tried again. Nothing. Niel cast around to ask one of the other people to help him call out to this strange man. The station was empty again. Had a train already come and gone, taking all the people with it?

When he turned back to the only soul left in the station with him, he was finally looking directly at Niel. A slight smile on his lips, the long black braids held back by goggles on his head.

“Are you waiting for something?” He asked, his voice a garble of noise.

“Yes.” Niel’s voice was still only a squeak.

“You’d better hurry.” The man seemed to be sliding backwards away from him, “Hurry. Hurry. Hurry. Hurry. Hurry. Hurry…” His voice sounded loud in Niel’s ears even as the distance between them grew.

Niel woke with a gasp, his throat was sore as though he had been talking in his sleep. He coughed and sat up in bed. His sheets were damp with sweat and he needed water. Hopefully his fever had broken through the night.

--------------------

Changhyun pushed his way through the apartment door; he was dead tired, any time Mr Worthington was away Changhyun was left to do twice the amount of work. Tonight he had stayed back to conference call into a meeting with his boss. With that finished he had another pile of notes to finish before coming home. Now he was finally able to just go to bed.

His apartment lights were already on, and something smelt delicious. After kicking off his shoes and putting them away he stepped into the apartment proper. Jonghyun was laying on his couch, eyes focused on the TV: glazed with tiredness. He looked up when he heard Changhyun chuckle.

“Hey.” He said softly.

“Hey yourself.” Changhyun replied, wandering over to the couch, removing his suit jacket as he went. With the jacket folded and resting over a chair he sat on the couch beside Jonghyun.

“How was work?” Jonghyun rubbed his eyes and jaw, trying to wake up a little more.

“It was long. And busy.” Changhyun replied, running his fingers over the very slight stubble that had begun to show on Jonghyun’s chin.

“Mm. I made dinner for you. I hope you like it. I’m not a great cook.”

“I’m sure it will be delicious.” Changhyun kissed his hair before getting to his feet again. “I’m just going to have a shower first, ok?”

Jonghyun heaved himself upright and stood as well.

“Can I come along?” He asked with a smirk.

-------------------------------------------------

Byunghun snuggled beneath the doona, scooting closer to Chanhee and wrapping his arms around him. Chanhee smiled and set his phone down on the side table, taking off his glasses and setting them down with the phone.

“Hello there,” Chanhee said, sliding an arm beneath Byung’s neck and rolling to face him.

“Hi,” Byunghun replied, he braced himself mentally, “We need to talk about something.”

“Ok. What are we talking about?” Chanhee nodded, eyes serious.

“You.”

“Me. What about me?”

“You… threatened Jonghyun a

Chapter 27: WOW! Just wow! It's been so long since I read a great, chaptered Teen Top fic, that I almost forgot that this is what I'm living for ㅋㅋ it's just that people don't seem to write them anymore... which is too sad ㅠㅠ
But it also means that I'm incredibly thankful you wrote this story!! I loved it so so so so much!! I'd even go so far, saying it is the best Teen Top fic I've read in... probably two years. I loved your way of describing the characters and the dynamics of each couple. ChangRick was SO ADORABLE in here~~ and ChunJoe were so bittersweet at first and perfect towards the end ♡ as for N.A.P.... it actually drove me crazy ㅋㅋ the moment Minsoo stood Niel up I was literally screaming at my phone ㅋㅋ but it also turned out to be so cute and fluffy and just the right amount of sap xD
so yeah... thumbs up for this!!! thank you so much for sharing~~ (and please continue writing Teen Top fics!! I sometimes feel like I'm the only person with an ongoing Teen Top fic that nobody even reads... it's sad... we need more Teen Top again~~)

Chapter 27: Do i have one ? Rofl . Byunghun can be hilarious sometimes ! I really liked the staring part and the whole what are you staring at.. Why ..because i like them .
Byunghun blushing and playing with the carpet too . very natural ~ he actually confessed first ! How surprising ! It was funny when chanhee said bec you are my best friend lol i bet Byunghun felt his stomach drop . That aside though , I get why he got angry the first time . i mean .. I may too with chanhee laughing in such situation . but the second time i was like .. does he have split personality ?
What angered him in " you better get used to it "?
The part where chanhee thought the doubts would come back but he'd be there to chase them off was so sweet and perfect as a closure ! Really liked it .
And of course we can't forget niel's part . so enjoyable and so funny * thumbs up *

Chapter 26: your brain is fantastically bad at sticking to one project and mine is that way with procrastination , which explains why I just got to read this NOW . I have no word to describe how fluffy and adorable ( Chanhee calling Byung a marshmallow is seriously the best thing ever ) this was ( realistic too ) Byunghun's thoughts about niel having everything he himself lacks and still being scared , unsure of himself .
it's ironic how someone may seem to lead a happy life when they are in fact being bullied .
I'll see you in about four months when i stop being lazy and finally read the next ch .

Chapter 27: My hearttttt is melting!!! This confession honestly explains so much more why Byunghun was the way that he was throughout the story... his doubts and insecurities. I love how Byunghun was the first to confess and say “I love you” but chanhee was the one to reassure him and really be there to chase Byunghun’s doubts away. Ahhh they’re just perfect for each other <3

Chapter 25: It felt a little sad that it's completed, though I'm really GLAD it is in a way too, haha. Unfinished fanfics are the worst sometimes... anyway, I love the theme of this story and how you wanted to include everyone's point of view. It kept the interest going.

As a suggestion, I'd love to read more about Byunghun and Chanhee's story when they were younger and how their relationship developed (maybe that's what you meant with "Byunghun's confession story"?). Thank you for this lovely story and can't wait to read more from you! <3

Chapter 25: Waah... Such a sweet ,satisfying ending ~
I enjoyed every moment of it !
Happiness was practically radiating from everyone . Minsoo's thoughts were so heartwarming along with Niel's of course whereas Jonghyun and Changhyun were so cute ~
Byunghun and chanhee ... Well the part when bh thought 11 years hadn't changed anything and not an even eternity will . * squeals *
It's awesome how you managed in just 25 chapters to write a story that's not rushed and not slow-paced either . It was perfect .
Thank you for sharing it with us !

Chapter 25: I am so emotional omg I can't believe it's finished ㅜㅜ
The ending is perfect they're all together and happy...
I don't even know where to begin how to describe how much I enjoyed reading this story and just looking forward to the updates every week ahh I'm going to miss it
Thank you for making the ending so wonderful ㅜㅜ
Chanhee & byunghuns long strong relationship... it's like I can feel the love through the screen;; it's just so precious;; I definitely would love to read about byunghun's confession! (oh and if you're taking requests maybe about their first time?? askfkskdk)
Okay and Changhyun and Jonghyun can they be anymore cute?!? Throughout the whole story they were just so into each other and ugh the best. Now they both have rings to propose to each other! I wonder how that'll turn out lol
Niel being so happy for his best friends and minsu being happy for his new younger brothers made me so emotional ㅜㅜ those two are the perfect match and just so attached to each other seeing them so in love is so heartwarming like they finally found the one they've been looking for their whole lives~

Thank you again for writing this wonderful story!
I enjoyed it so much and I'll definitely be coming back to re-read it~!! <3
