#ji hyuk

Ji-hyuk: Ji-hyuk always tries to act cool and unbothered. His whole aura is emotionless and moody. But the kid’s been through a lot, so it’s understandable. The band members like to see him drop his façade, if even for a moment, just so they can see him smile and laugh and genuinely be happy, not the smirky, sarcastic happy he projects around others. Byung-Hee started doing that first, when they were kids. He’d jump on Ji-Hyuk and just grab at all his ticklish places until he was screaming and swearing at him. Ji-Hyuk always pretended to hate it, but he didn’t mind it once in a while, just because he knew that was how Byung-Hee showed affection. Aside from Byung-Hee, Do-il is the only other one that’s not afraid to tickle Ji-Hyuk. Ji-Hyuk is a HUGE revenge-tickler, which Kyung-Jong always learns the hard way. When he gets tickled he like does that thing where he acts like it doesn’t bother him and just elbows away the offending hands and puts on a stoic face and squirms away discreetly, but if you keep going he will break eventually, and his huge smile will make a rare appearance as he laughs. His laugh is much more loud and deep than you’d imagine. He doesn’t tickle Do-il because Do-il Knows where he’s the most ticklish whereas the others (minus Byung-Hee, who ALWAYS knows) don’t. Byung-Hee and Ji-Hyuk had tickle fights when they were younger, but not so much as they grew up. Ji-Hyuk is mildly ticklish everywhere, and more so on his sides. But his worst spot is like, the sides of his back and he will literally give you his soul to get you to stop tickling him there. Byung-Hee loved abusing this to get Ji-Hyuk to not be a grumpy butt.

Do-il: He’s much more of a ler to the others than a lee. He’s strong enough to keep them from squirming away, but kind enough to not Kill Them. You’d expect the son of a mob boss to be cruel, but people always expect Do-il to be anything except the quiet, kind, caring boy he is. His tickling is gentle and calculated; he pays attention to where his friends are the most ticklish and likes to focus there. He prefers tickling his friends in a way that makes them laugh and squirm rather than ticking them in a way that makes them scream. It’s more endearing that way. His main lees are Ji-hyuk (because he’s the only one other than Byung-Hee that can tickle Ji-hyuk without fearing revenge) and Kyung-jong, because that boy is too small and too cute and way too much fun to tickle. Do-il is ticklish too, but not intensely. The only places that make him laugh are his neck, back, and feet. Other places only make him smile sometimes. Occasionally the others will use his long hair against him and swipe it across his nape to make him recoil. Clawing their fingers on his back is the best way to make him laugh; the second is to gently tickle his feet, especially the tops. His laugh is quiet and low, and it’s just really nice to hear. He scrunches his nose up and it’s literally the cutest thing ever. He doesn’t get tickled by the members very often though, because he will 100% tickle them back.

Hyun-soo: (he’s literally canonically ticklish, I’d like to thank not only God, but Jesus.) Hyun-soo may seem cold and mean (well.. he is, usually lol), but he does have a soft side that shines through sometimes. His little sister only knows her brother as sweet, and his parents usually do too. But when Hyung-soo is around others, even his closest friends, he puts on a cold face and keeps himself from opening up. One way to make him drop his facade is to make him laugh. He doesn’t laugh very often, but when he does, it’s loud and happy and endearing. Hyun-soo isn’t used to being tickled very often; his parents stopped long ago, and the age gap between him and his sister generally meant he was the one tickling her, not the other way around. But the band knows that he is very, very ticklish; Ji-hyuk, Kyung-jong, and Ha-Jin are usually the ones to tickle him, mostly just to see him smile and not be a grump. Not very often, because Hyun-soo would literally murder them, but enough to make him know that his friends care. He’s the most ticklish under his arms, on his sides/ribs, and his neck. He can’t hold in his laughter whatsoever when he’s being tickled. He won’t ever start tickle fights, but is he’s dragged into one, he’ll shyly participate.

Kyung-jong: Literally the cutest lee. The whole band just loves tickling him, especially Ha-Jin and Ji-Hyuk. He’s one of those people where like you barely touch them and they’re like WOAHHHH that tickles, which is really hilarious and entertaining. The others are constantly pinching his sides and squeezing the back of his neck and grabbing his knees-always just quick little tickles throughout the day, tickles that make Kyung-Jong squirm and curse at them. But often sometimes the band just randomly pin him down when they’re hanging out and wreck him, especially Ha-Jin because they’re so close. They’ll pin Kyung-Jong down or sit on him and just tickle him. He’s really squirmy always and tries to grab his friends’ hands, but fails because he gets really weak when he’s tickled. When Byung-Hee was alive, he’d do “The Claws” with his hands and chase Kyung-Jong around while making monster noises, and by the time he caught Kyung-Jong, before he’s even actually tickled him yet, the poor kid would already be laughing so hard he could barely breathe. His laugh is really high-pitched and loud and it’s the cutest thing you’ll ever hear. Do-il makes fun of him for having such a childish laugh. Kyung-Jong likes to jump on the others’ backs and stuff and tickle them, but it usually backfires and then it’s him that’s getting tickled. He’s ticklish Literally Everywhere, but his worst spots are his tummy, knees, hips, and neck.

Ha-jin: Ha-Jin is a brat that tickles his friends solely to irritate them and get them mad. He’ll just randomly start poking one of them and slyly tickle them, just to watch them get annoyed. He thinks it’s SO funny, and the others are like -_- boi stop. Like he tickles Kyung-Jong a lot literally just because it’s really cute and funny, and they have tickle fights all the time, but he usually only tickles the others when he’s bored and wants to irritate them. When one of the others decides they’ve had enough and go for revenge, it can be a little challenging. Ha-Jin is ticklish, but mostly it just makes him giggle. It doesn’t, like, render him helpless like Kyung-Jong and Hyun-soo. And he’s good at fighting you off because he got so used to fending off his sisters, which is also probably why he’s pretty strong against tickling. But if you get his hips, it’s Game Over and he literally just goes limp and Scream Laughs and it’s really, really funny. Byung-Hee would just like, slightly dig his elbow into Ha-Jin’s hip when he would get too riled up and hyper, and Ha-Jin would literally Shut Up and Stop because it takes a lot to get Byung-Hee to the point where he’ll get revenge on you, so he knows he needs to quit it or he’ll get tickled so badly his brain will turn to mush. His other kind of more ticklish places are his lower back and his collarbones.

Byung-hee: Byung-Hee was quite the devastating ler when he was still alive. He was stronger than he looked and always just seemed to Know where his friends were the most ticklish. He liked to play around with his friends with this, like chasing Kyung-Jong around while threatening him with tickles and giving Ha-Jin The Look that let him know he was going to get the tickling of a lifetime if he didn’t shut up for once. He’s literally that person that pretended his lees were instruments, like he’d grab Kyung-Jong and pretend he was a guitar and the poor boy would just be trapped and laughing his little head off as Byung-Hee pretended to play their songs on him. He tickled everyone a bit, but not a lot, because he felt it was a tad childlish (so he said, but he actually thought it was fun to mess with the others). He tickled Ji-Hyuk a lot, usually when they were alone because Ji-Hyuk gets all frustrated when tickled in public, but it was always just his way of letting his friend know he was cared about. He was the most ticklish on his feet and his ribs. Like if his friends clawed at his ribs he’d crack up and cackle and it was pretty amusing (before he decided he wanted revenge, that is).
