Niel plonked down at the table in the break room of the department store; he was tired and sad and just wanted to go home. Unfortunately, he still had 4 hours left. With a sigh, he found his phone in his locker and checked the messages. There was one waiting from Byunghun.

Byunghun: Hey, how are you feeling?

Niel: Fine, you?

Surprisingly, a response returned straight away.

Byunghun: Fine.

Niel: Liar.

Byunghun:  So are you.

Niel: Yeah true… I feel like crap. Worst part is I don’t miss her. I don’t feel anything about her leaving except guilt. Aren’t I supposed to be sad that she’s gone? Aren’t I supposed to miss her and pine for her? Is there something wrong with me?

Byunghun: No. There’s nothing wrong with you. You just weren’t in love at the end. Were you?

Niel: No… I don’t think I was. But I don’t think she was either. Everything felt forced, nothing was easy anymore

Byunghun: I know. It’ll be ok Niel, everything will go back to normal. Maybe now you can be happy again without that guilt.

Niel: I hope so. Hyung? Are you ok?

Byunghun: Yeah. No problems here.

Niel: Are you sure?

Byunghun: Yes. I have to go. Bye.

Niel glared at his phone, Byunghun had been increasingly evasive lately. After a long moment Niel sent another text message. His hyung was worrying him more and more lately.

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

Changhyun stood in a trendy, chain café waiting for his coffee order. As he waited he toyed with his phone; rereading the schedule for the next day, rechecking emails, and driving himself crazy by triple checking everything. It was a habit that made him highly successful as a personal assistant.

As he was going over flight schedules for his boss a message chimed in. It was Jonghyun. They had been texting on and off since their date 2 days ago.

Jonghyun: Hey cutie, what are you doing?

Changhyun smiled widely, a blush colouring his cheeks.

Changhyun: Hi! I like that greeting. I’m waiting for coffee and working. You?

Jonghyun: I thought you might, I can’t help it because you’re cute. I’m job hunting. It’s going ok so far. How can you be working and getting coffee?

Changhyun: I’m getting it for my boss. And myself. We always get coffee in the afternoon. So it’s work.

Jonghyun: Sure, sure. I want a cushy job like that. How about I personally assist the personal assistant?

Changhyun: Ooohh, what type of assistance are you offering? ;)

Jonghyun: Is that an innuendo? Because I can help with that too

Changhyun: Maybe…

The barista called Changhyun to collect the order; grinning he accepted the tray of drinks. Keeping his phone in one hand, he walked back to the office.

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

Byunghun abandoned his conversation with Niel, his friend was too perceptive and persistent for him to be able to avoid forever. It was easy now, while Niel was still distracted by his own crisis. Byunghun decided Chanhee would probably be about to start his shift and texted him instead. The reply came back lightning fast.

Byunghun: Hey, when do you finish night shifts?

Chanhee:  Hey honey, I only have tonight. Then day shifts until these VIP gues

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
