Personally, I always find it very interesting when you can compare the original idea with the finished project, especially from a reader's perspective.

This outline method I used is by Abbie Emmons. If you want to improve your writing, I recommend checking out her Youtube Channel 

 

Act 1

 

Hook

 

> Taemin is the new assistant of actress Choi Jiwoo. His goal is to save money until he can afford a good dance education.

> Had an exhausting first day. Is exhausted but knows it will be worth it. Is determined to keep going.

> Little scenes of what he has to do and what he has to endure.

 

Build Up

 

> The days progress with difficulty. Taemin is asked by a co-worker to take papers to Jiwoo. He overhears her say to Minho "If the press finds out you're not my real son, we're screwed."

> Minho comes to his mom and asks if she has a new assistant again. She says yes and says let's see if he can take it (in relation to the test).

 

First POA

 

> Puts Taemin to the test!

He receives a phone call. The caller says he will pay him a lot of money if he tells him secrets about the actress.

Jiwoo is not difficult at all. She only shows her true (and very sweet) face when she can really trust someone.

Taemin doesn't take the offer and says he doesn't want to be called in the future. He feels sorry for Jiwoo. Now he understands why so many assistants have been dismissed. He feels sorry for her. (He doesn't know it's a test, of course) but he passes it. 

> Taemin has to talk to Jiwoo. He is immediately taken to her office. He wants to talk to her seriously. But she is playfully stern at first. Confusion ensues. Taemin is taken aback. Jiwoo is actually really nice and makes fun of her own demands. But she had to make sure Taemin will not screw her over if given the chance to.

 

First Opposition

 

> Jiwoo's son Minho is a model. He comes to visit his mother on the set and sees Taemin for the first time. He falls for Taemin and asks the mother if he can have his number. She is against it. She has found a loyal assistant for the first time in a long time. He can't find Taemin on social media.

 

Act 2

 

Pre-Mid reactionary Hero

 

> Minho doesn't come clean, but he sometimes brings Taemin coffee or just hangs around him. Actually, he only wants to sleep with him. But this way he gets to know him better and realises that maybe he shouldn't take advantage of him.

> Minho asks Taemin to go out with him. Taemin thinks this is unprofessional, even though he finds him good-looking. When Taemin keeps saying no, Minho gives Taemin expensive gifts, but Taemin is not interested. Minho does not understand. Everyone else always took those gifts.

 

Plot thickens

 

> Taemin has to work even on holiday. Because Taemin declined Minho’s offers to go out with him, Minho persuaded his mother to take Taemin on holiday with them. In this way, he actually wanted to get back at Taemin for denying all his advances.

Taemin is totally stressed out etc. Minho knocks on his room, Taemin lets him in but says he still has to work. But it is already really late. He can't believe that Taemin is still working. Minho orders room service and helps Taemin with his work, which Taemin finds very sweet. They fall asleep together. 

> The next night, Minho comes to him again. They make out until Jiwoo calls Taemin. Minho is totally surprised that she calls him at midnight. He takes the phone from Taemin and says he deserves a break. Taemin is glad not to be alone for the night (his birthday). They sleep together.

 

Post-Mid hero

 

> After the holiday: Minho wants to surprise Taemin and pick him up from dancing. He watches him secretly an

Chapter 19: I found this story two years ago - it is sharply funny, silly, has deep thoughts, and a great take on celebrity life. Not to mention my favorite ship of all time - 2min!!! Very deserving of a feature!!

Chapter 22: Hello, I am so sorry for excitedly commenting many times in a row but I just want to let you know that I am very happy that I found this story ❤️ I don't really read comedies because it's hard for me to find them funny but this one really is very funny, heartwarming and fluffy. I have developed an attachment to the whole family already :') I love this fic so much and it'll always have a place in my heart! I love every characters so much, and although Jonghyun made little appearance, he gives so much impact and gentle wise advice to the characters like the angel he is and I lovee that. Thank you so much for writing it, you are such an amazing author! I'll be sure to check out your other fanfics as well!

Thank you again and sorry for ranting ❤️🥹 I am sure I'll come back again someday to reread this ❤️

Chapter 22: Hi hello it's me again, sorry.
I don't believe you at all when you say you're not a comedy writer, this was great! xD Yet again, so drastically different from your other stories I've read so far (I'm leaving the heavier ones for later..). I'm in awe of your ability to write such different stories and yet have them all be equally as captivating. I'm also not sure what was going on with the earlier stories formatting, I think it was probably this site having issues now I think about it more, I'm sorry ^^;
I do have to say though, Minho in this story really REALLY reminds me of King Julien from Madagascar lol. Especially when he calls Taemin his hater, it made me think of that episode about finding and converting his one hater lol. I love that lemur so much xD and Minho too I guess... :P

Chapter 1: I just checked this out this morning.
But you got me when Taemin had to remove the cat's hair manually because Jiwoo's chakra will be disturbed with the sound of a vacuum cleaner. Such characters!
Thank you so much for sharing this wacky story.

Chapter 22: Wow! I just binge-read this! Couldn’t stop reading. And you can definitely write comedy! I was smiling all throughout at how much of an idiot Minho is and I also laughed out loud several times! Really an enjoyable read, so please don’t say you can’t write comedy because you’re definitely good at it. Thank you for writing 2min. I really shipped (and still do) them from the start, back when I literally didn’t even know what shipping was and had to google it haha! And I missed JongKey more with this. I’m glad you included our angel in this. ❤️❤️❤️
