The next day arrives, as it's just a quiet time in the office, with me doodling mindlessly in my sketchbook. Lee Know is sitting at my desk, making little figures out of some of my scrap paper. I never noticed it before, but it seems like there's always a little bit of music playing throughout the building.

"Minah?" Lee Know suddenly calls out. "What are you doing?" He rolls my chair over to my spot against the wall.

"Hm?" He gently pulls my sketchbook down so he can see into it. "I'm just doodling."

"Ahhh..!" He flips through a few pages, taking time to examine each thing before putting it back to where it was. "Can I doodle, too?"

I smile. "Sure. Here," I flip to a fresh page so that he can do so, and I hand him the pencil as well.

"Wait, no." He suddenly says, puzzling me. "I wanted to doodle with you."

I pause for just a moment, before my cheeks begin to slowly grow pink. "Ah-o..okay." I pull out another pencil for myself, and we both begin doodling on the same page.

My hand feels really cramped against his, and he suddenly changes hands. "Is that better, Minah?"

I smile again, chuckling just a little. "It is, thank you. I didn't know you're ambidextrous. That's so cool." I say, a tiny gasp escaping me.

"Yeah, I guess it is." He smiles this time, looking up into my eyes. I look up into his, and notice that they're fighting their way between being that electric blue, and a light, light hazel. "Not many androids enjoy changing their hands, but it's fine with me.. if it helps you?"

I feel a warm sensation form in my chest, constricting my breathing. Except, it's not... a terrible feeling? "Th-thank you, Lee Know, it does help me."

As I draw random heads, and he does an assortment of geometrical shapes, I can't help but notice the shape our hands made. If you pressed them together, it would make a-

Ding!

He freezes. "What was that?"

I look at my phone, and am greeted by a blaring text message. "It's just a text. I have to finish a few blueprints today..."

"Oh. Did you want to stop drawing?" He asks.

"I think I'll have to stop drawing in here, yeah... you can continue though!" I say, giving him my sketchbook. And, once, again, I flip to a new page.

I sit at my desk, roll out a blueprint, and begin adding more details.

I let out a sigh, turning around to see Lee Know. I turn back to my desk, and just let the office music play through my head, working aimlessly away.

*~*

"There, all done!" I flop down in my seat, the finished work scattered all over my desk.

And that's when another 'Ding' emitted from my phone.

"From: Sungie"

"Minah! Can I come find you after work? Let's go grab bubble tea :D"

I smile, and text him back.

"Sure! I'm assuming you'll be over here in... Ten minutes? I'll send my blueprints to chan :]"

An "okay!" immediately popped up, and I set my phone down on the table.

"Are you leaving soon?" Lee know then asks me, shuffling some paper's together.
