18

Niel sat on the couch in Chanhee and Byunghun’s apartment; glazed eyes watching the television as Chanhee hummed to himself in the kitchen. Niel wasn’t really thinking about anything. He was sulking. After talking to Byunghun a few days before he thought he had convinced him to go back to Shinhwa that weekend, but today he had gotten a text to come over for dinner and they could “talk as a family”. He was less than impressed. It was Friday night. They should be going out.

Chanhee plonked onto the couch beside him; snuggling up to his shoulder, a wheedling look on his face. Niel looked down at him, displeased.

“Don’t be mad, ok?” Chanhee said in a pleading tone.

“Why would I be mad?” Niel pouted.

“Because you wanted to go out. And…” Chanhee cut himself off, biting his bottom lip. He looked away and jumped back up off the couch to scurry to the stove.

“And?” Niel asked, sensing a scheme in the works.

Chanhee pretended not to hear him.

“And!” Niel said loudly.

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

Changhyun climbed the stairs in the old building slowly, he was tired from a big week at work and was in no hurry to make it to the apartment. As he crested the stairs he froze, as quietly as possible he backed back down the steps to the nearest landing. When he heard voices approaching from above he began to climb once more.

Feng and her date passed him on the stairs, Changhyun winked as he passed them by. Feng turned bright red and hurried the other woman down the stairs without greeting him. He would about kissing in the hallway later. With the pair gone he moved to the apartment door and walked through without knocking.

“Hyung! I’m here!” He called through the apartment.

“Ok!” Came a reply from somewhere.

Changhyun shrugged, kicked off his shoes and wandered into the lounge. He was booting up the PlayStation when Youngjin emerged from his bedroom, freshly showered.

“Hey Changie. Ready to get obliterated?” Youngjin asked, settling on the floor beside his younger brother.

“Get real.” Changhyun retorted, handing the other Yoo a controller, “Loser pays for dinner.” He challenged.

“You’re on.”

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

Byunghun shut the front door quietly, hearing Niel’s voice from the living room.

“Why would I be mad?”

“Because you wanted to go out. And…” Chanhee cut himself off. Byunghun sighed and shook his head.

“And? … And!” Niel said loudly.

“And I got you a date.” Byunghun announced as he wandered into the apartment proper. Niel’s head snapped around to glare at him. Byunghun smiled in reply.

“A what?” Niel’s voice was irritated.

“A date, little brother, a date!” Byunghun sing-songed at him. Wandering across the room to kiss Chanhee hello and examine what he was cooking.

“I don’t want a date!” Niel cried, sounding like a toddler having a tantrum. Byunghun and Chanhee ignored him, occupied with touching hands and foreheads together mumbli

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
