Namjoon's P.O.V.
I was so happy to see her. So happy. "Is that food?"

She put the bag on the couch.
"Stop stating the obvious. You have work to do."
Took place in the second chair. "What?"

"What do you think you're doing?" Min didn't know how any of this worked. She couldn't do more than she already had.

A smile.
"I'm helping. You had time to listen to the song. What are the steps to correct what bothers you? Start by listing that out."

I didn't even argue that it was the obvious thing to do. I just picked up a pen and a piece of paper. It took a moment, but I managed to divide it into a few steps, which she made me separate into smaller ones.
"That should do, right?"

She took a look. "From what you told me, that sounds about right. All you gotta do is follow the checklist."

"True. I'll get this going."
Wouldn't she get bored?
"What are you gonna do?"

Min pulled a book out of her backpack.
"Read, and when you want to take a break, I'll have dinner with you."

"Won't make you wait too long then." It was already 6pm.

"Take your time."
I put my headphones and got to work.

The good thing about that list was that I could check boxes off pretty quick! From time to time, she'd look at the piece of paper, gently brush her hand in my hair if I had been stuck on a task.. Randomly get up and kiss the top of my head each time she would come back in the room. After the third time, I figured boredom was probably setting in. I only had two checks left to do. I'd be done before tomorrow!

Finally, finally! Ah.. that felt great! It feels like I did so much. I'm so glad! They'd okay it on time.
"Done!"
I could stop panicking now.
"I think we're going to have to warm up the food-"
I lowered my voice.
"You could've told me you were falling asleep."
She was still in the second chair, her feet on the couch. Book closed, bookmark about to slip out, chest slowly moving up and down, sleeping soundly.
"Let me just take that.."
I pushed the bookmark deeper into the pages before removing the book from her hands and putting it back in her bag. The food was clearly in my mini fridge. There was an empty snack packet in the trash. I took the blanket off the couch and covered her legs.
"How do you even find this comfortable?"
Sitting back in my chair, looking at the list, I sighed. I hadn't put 2 + 2 together.
"I see what you did there."
I threw it in the bin.
"That's clever.. Very clever."

"..Did you fix it?.." Sleepyhead.

I did what she had done with me, left a kiss on top of her head before I cleaned my set-up.
"I did. Thanks to that very long list. Made be proud when I checked it pretty fast."

She slowly woke up and turned her seat towards the computer. "Because you did do them quickly. Small steps are best. It always looks like a big mountain.. You just don't take your own advice."

I think I knew a great way to thank her. My eyes met with the time. It was ten? Already? Damn..
"Want to have a listen?"

Oh, she was awake now. "Really? I can?" She looked at the file. "You switched the names up?"

We did say mirrors in the song. It was a lot more fitting. "Yeah! You'll see why. Tell me what you think the concept will be."

"You already have a concept?" We didn't, but I had a few ideas. "You're really fine with me listening to this?"

Why wouldn't I be? I had the okay without the change from my two hyungs. The change just made it better. "I'm sure! Come on. Plug these in and we're good to go."
