Caught In The Act
Forbidden HeartbeatMyungsoo stared at the blanket hanging on the ceiling, he in his breath as he placed a hand to his lips, his other arm balancing that arm, around his stomach. "Which side should I sleep on? The left side is closer to the restroom.... But, the right side has the wall. The wall is cool at night." mused Myungsoo. When he couldn't make up his mind he closed his eyes and spinned around five times, before pointing to either side.

Twenty Minutes Ago
Hyomin started towards the office when Myungsoo pulled her back. Hyomin glared at him and he squinted back at the office. Jihoon noticed Myungsoo and Hyomin so he pretended to clear the air. He pulled away from Ailee and in the loudest possible voice, he congratulate her for joining the family. Jihoon looked into Ailee's eyes, trying to give her the clue, and when she noticed she hesitated, but reached over and pat him.
"Yeah, I'm happy to join the family." Ailee smiled. Jihoon gave her a soft smile and Ailee's smile faded. It was a pure and innocent smile back then, that made her heart pounded for the first time. When Jihoon saw her sadden face, his smile started to vanished as well but he looked up instead, to Hyomin and Myungsoo and waved. Hyomin's rage died down and she waved back.
"I can't believe I almost misunderstood." She said turning to Myungsoo then walked over to the office. Jihoon came out to greet her and she motioned that they needed to go home before it gets late. Jihoon bid his farewell quickly when Hyomin pulled him, and they passed Myungsoo. Myungsoo stood his ground and noticed Ailee by the door wiping her face with her sleeve. Still, with no emotions he turned around and headed back inside.
Ailee was cleaning in the kitchen alone. After clearing off the table, she washed the dishes, dried them, and put them away. She was trying to keep herself busy so she wouldn't think about Jihoon. As much as she hate admitting it, she still loves Jihoon.

Myungsoo stopped spinning and opened his eyes, he was pointing to the right side of the bed. "Yes! The cold wall." He exclaimed cheerfully, then the voice of Ailee's call halted him. Myungsoo turned his upper body around.
"I-I'll sleep out here...."
Myungsoo blinked a few times then tiredly asked, "Why?"
Ailee rubbed her arms, "It's just, I'm more comfortable out here...." Myungsoo turned back to face the bed. Then he smiled and turned his whole body to Ailee's direction.
"Are you tired?"
"W-what?"
"Aigoo, let's go." Ailee was dumbfounded when Myungsoo approached her. He grabbed her wrist just enough to pull her along.
"I'M HAPPY!" Myungsoo shouted out to the dark waves silhouettes. They were standing alongside the beach, Myungsoo's place appearing as a dot from a distant. Ailee wrapped her jacket around herself while standing beside Myungsoo. Myungsoo was panting and out of breath due to all the shouting, yet at the same time he was at peace and felt refreshed. He laughed and turned to Ailee, under the moonlight, Myungsoo could barely see Ailee's face. But he sensed that she was crying, why? Only she knew. "Try it, (Ailee turn to him) whenever I feel cornered and down I always come here and yell to my heart's content." Myungsoo said sliding his hands into his pocke
