Taehyung had always been a clingy person; he needed attention all the time. He liked physical contactâhugs, kisses, affection. He had been like that since he was little.
But there is one kind of affection that, for him, is the best of all! Tickles.
Itâs kind of hard for V to admit it, but tickles make him feel good! They make him laugh until he canât anymore and send shocks of energy and happiness all through his body.
It was incredible! Simply incredible!
And sometimes, Tae would get clingy specifically for tickles. His friends often helped him, knowing that when he started provoking, poking, and annoying them, he just needed a good dose of the best medicine of allâlaughter
But it wasnât simple for Tae to just tell the other members. For some reason, he felt an extreme block whenever he had to talk about it, so he kept this information secret until their debut years.
When one of the other members discovered his secretâand it wasnât his best friend Jimin, or his only maknae Jungkook, noâŚ
It was a certain black kittyâŚ
âWeâre heading out, okay?â Jin-hyung shouted from the door. Namjoon, Hoseok, Jimin, and Jungkook were going somewhere with him.
âDonât break anything, please,â I think it was Jimin who said.
âDo you need anything from the supermarket?â Namjoon asked, always worried about us.
âNothing,â Taehyung and I answered at the same time.
âThen weâre going,â Hoseok said, things like that already made him excited.
âBye, hyungs!â Jungkook was the last to speak.
The silence that followed was a little awkward.
Taehyung and I still werenât very close; he seemed kind of detached from the world and no one could tell what he was thinking. But I liked trying to understand him.
And that day, I was about to understand him completely.
He was lying horizontally on the couch, legs curled up because I was sitting, curled up, at the other end. I had a book in my hand and headphones on, and he was on his phone. I donât know what he was doing, but I feel like it was something private.
He seemed very distracted and I started to worry. His face looked strange, his brows furrowed as if he wanted to say something that was stuck in his throat.
I tried calling him but he didnât hear.
âTaehyung?â I said a little louder, until he finally heard.
âAh! Yes! Hyung?â He jumped and turned off his phone really quickly. Iâm not the type to be interested in uncovering peopleâs secrets, but it seemed a little suspicious.
âAre you okay?â I looked at him for a moment, and he quickly avoided my eyes. V was pretty shy at that time.
âI am, hyung, thank you.â He smiled, and I gave a small smile back.
âDo you want to watch a movie?â I had started to realize he was feeling clingy. That was something I had already noticedâthe need Taehyung sometimes had to receive affectionâand that was completely fine. I wanted to help him. So I grabbed the remote and asked.
âSure,â he said, not really knowing how to hide that he was uncomfortable.
âWhat kind of movie do you like?â
âMaybe a Disney one?â
His eyes lit up. I hit the target perfectlyâIâm good at reading people.
âI like Disney movies,â I smiled. At that time, people had a somewhat stereotypical idea that I was serious and masculine, but I liked that kind of magical and fragile thing.
âDo you want to choose?â
âNo, I donât like choosing, you choose.â He looked embarrassed.
âAlright⌠Toy Story! I love Toy Story.â
âThe second one is the best,â we said at exactly the same time. Then we looked at each other. I laughed a little; Taehyung just smiled.
âGlad you agree, letâs watch that one.â
The movie had already started when I noticed he was clearly uncomfortable. Because I was sitting at the end of the couch, V couldnât stretch his legs completely, and it seemed a little painful. So I did the most sensible thing I could think of at the moment and offeredâ
âDo you want to put your legs on my lap?â I said, without much expression.
âUm⌠you donât have toââ
âCome on, before I change my mind.â I grabbed his feet and pulled them to rest on my thighs. It was fine; I wanted to show him affection so he could feel better, but he seemed so tense. His feet were bare, so I could feel that they were cold; he was trembling a little.
But when a specific scene playedâwhere Jessie tickled Woody in the movieâhe blushed and shivered, so I had to ask.
âYeah, Iâm fine,â he wouldnât even look at me.
âWhatâs going on, Taehyung?â I paused the movie. âYou can talk to me, I want to help.â
V shifted on the couch; it seemed like he wanted to speak but the feeling wouldnât come out of his throat. I knew what that was likeâit was as if the vocal cords tied themselves in a knot! Itâs distressing.
âIâm embarrassed to say it out loud!â I tried to helpâIâm not very good at thatâbut I ran one hand along his back and left the other on his feet, stroking him gently.
âDo you think Iâll judge you?â
âI wonât. No feeling or desire that makes you feel bad is strange or shameful, especially because it makes you feel bad.â I was worried about him. It was hard to understand Taehyung at that time, but I was making an effort. I truly wanted to understand him.
âDo you want some time to think about whether you want to tell me about it?â
âNo, I want to tell you.â He sat up and took his feet off me, so I copied him on the other side of the couch. I didnât really know what to do, butâŚ
I looked at him and smiled, trying to ease him.
âYouâre not going to judge me, right?â
âOkayâŚâ he took a deep breath. âI have a strange desire for people to tickle me.â
Not that I was belittling it, of course not! But with the way Taehyung treated this feelingâwith so much shame and insecurity⌠to be honest, of all the things I imagined, this was the cutest possibility.
âAnd how does that work?â I said. He wasnât looking at me; he was trying to hide inside his hoodie. âWhy do you want that?â
âTickles make me feel really good, they make me laugh and spread through my body a feeling of happiness like no other. I like when people I love do that to me.â
Taehyung stopped talking for a second, as if he was processing the words coming out of his mouth. I didnât interrupt or say anything; I knew he wanted to say more.
âUsually you guys already tickle me without me having to askâsome pokes or teasing. Jimin especially has always done that with me since we were younger. But today I just felt like this, in this⌠hm⌠lee mood.â
âLee mood?â I repeated.
âYes⌠thatâs what itâs called in the community when someone really wants to be tickled. If someone really wants to tickle someone, itâs called ler mood.â
I didnât say anything because I was absorbing the information. I didnât want to ever forget this and make V go through the suffering of having to explain it again, of course notâŚ
âAlright then.â I moved closer without permission and leaned against his knees, patting his head. He looked like a puppy. âThereâs absolutely nothing wrong with it, Taehyung.â
âYou think so, hyung?â
âOf course not. Itâs a different feeling, but tickles are nice I think.â I blushed a little; I admit that for me it was also a bit embarrassing to admit something like that. âAnd if this makes you feel bad, I donât want you to feel like that. I want you to be okay.â
And in that moment, even though I donât really like these kinds of things and they make me a little uncomfortable, I felt a strong urge to hug him and whisper in his ear:
âItâs okay, Tae,â I said, stroking one of his thighs.
âThank you very much, hyung.â
It was time. I felt it. Since he had been wanting this for so long⌠In that moment, I thought about all the times I had seen the others destroy Taehyung with ticklesâthe teasing, what made him blush more, the weak spotsâŚ
I was a great observer, huh?
So I put it all together and let the fun begin.
âBut now, I wonât keep you waiting anymore,â I whispered in Vâs ear. His reaction was to pull away, and I found it cute. âShall we start?â
Teasing is the most fun part of tickling someone, but also the most embarrassingâdefinitely my favorite.
I pushed him forward and made him lie on his back on the couch, sitting on his waist. He widened his eyes at me; I guess he didnât expect my reaction to be so quick
âTell me, Taehyung-ah, youâre not ticklish, are you?â I smiled, not waiting for an answer, and dug my fingers into his sides.
Taehyung exploded into laughter within seconds; I realized he wasnât even trying to hold back.
âAh! Ahahahaha! Hyhyhyhuhuhung!â He tried to grab me, clearly not using full strength, but I dodged his hands, changing targets every second.
âWhereâs your weak spot? Maybe here?â I realized he wouldnât tell me, and at least I didnât remember. I had already discovered everyone elseâs, but I still didnât know Vâs⌠oh⌠but that wouldnât be a problem for me.
âYohohouâlol neheheveheher fohohohound ihihihit!â He shook his head from side to side.
I searched my memory for a time I had seen someone tickle Taehyung, and I remembered about two days agoâhe was lying on the bedroom floor, Jungkook sitting on his waist and Jimin holding down his arms. His laughter could be heard from the other side of the neighborhood, all because the two of them were attacking his belly at the same time⌠thatâs it! His belly!
âAh~ feeling confident, huh?~ I have the impression I saw Jungkook and Jimin make you scream just by pressing a little button right around here~â
I slowly lifted his shirt, but V let out an exclamation and pulled it back down. I laughed.
âNo, no, no~ none of that. Let me see that belly of yours, okay?
Then I grabbed his hands and placed them under each of my knees. I realized that even if Taehyung wanted to, he couldnât stop defending himself, so I decided to give him a little help
âNahahaha! Plehehehahahahase hyhyhuhuhung! Nohohohot thehehehere!â
âCahahahuseâ AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NAHAHAHAHAHA!â I didnât even let him finish thinking; I attacked his belly fiercely. I laughed at how he threw his head back and blushed about ten more shades of pinkâit was cute.
At that moment, I thought I wanted to see him laugh even more. I remembered once seeing Hoseok blowing on Taehyungâs belly and making him cry; I think he had called it a raspberry
Little did I know I was about to hit poor Vâs weakest spot.
âLet me test something~â
âNAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHA!â
âI havenât even done anything yet, Tae! You sensitive teddy bear~â I laughed, lowering my head to attack.
âAHAHAHAHAHA YOHOHOHOUâREHE GOHOHONNAHA KIHIHIHILL MEHEHE!â
âMaybe~ I canât promise anything.â I released as much air as I could against his belly button.
It was fun to see Taehyung like that, I lifted his shirt higher, almost to his neck, and started blowing raspberries wherever I wanted, also using my fingers all over his torso, not staying in one place for even a second.
Then I started thinking about what had happened before Taehyung told me his secret. I had offered for him to put his legs on my lapâpoor thing⌠he must have been dying of embarrassment! Ah⌠but I wasnât feeling sorry, I was going to tease him forever about thatâŚ
âYou went a long time without your tickles, Taetae. Thatâs why you were so nervous when you put your legs on my lap, huh? You were anxious about the possibility of my fingers moving all over you andââ
âOHOHOHO SHUHUHUT UHUHUP!â
âOh~â he opened a tiny slit to look at me through his eyes, blushing even more, if that was even possible. âIs that how you treat your hyung?!â
And then I remembered Taetaeâs last weak spotâthe one that made him laugh, jump, and shiver just by being touched with a finger⌠or a plant⌠or a featherâŚ
Ohoho. I moved closer to my target and placed my mouth on his neck, filling it with more sensitive raspberries.
âAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! NAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAO!â
âIâM SOHOHOHOHORRY! HYHYHYUHUHUNG! OHOHOHO MY GOHOHOHOHOD!â
I heard the sound of the door opening, but I didnât say anything or stop. I just attacked Taehyung even faster, pulling more laughter out of him.
I wanted the others to see how cute he looked.
âHow did this end up like this?â Namjoon asked. I didnât stop tickling.
âItâs a long story, weâll talk about it later.â
âOh, Taetae, your laugh is so cute!â Jimin approached from behind the couch and lightly dragged his fingers over Taehyungâs neck. He let out a small cute squeal; I was only attacking his belly now.
âSo ticklish, huh?~â Jungkook decided to tease. I donât think he has much right to talkâŚ
âYouâre so cute!â Hoseok said. I expected him to tickle V too, but instead he came near me and squeezed my cheeks.
I widened my eyes and blushed. He smiled at me just to tease me, idiot! Why didnât he tease Taehyung instead of me? I finally stopped the tickles and let Taehyung breathe, crossing my arms, embarrassed. Showing affection wasnât my specialty.
âLet him breathe a little,â I said when I noticed how hard it was for V to recover.
âThen come help me here? Argh! Hurry up!â Seokjin shouted from the door, and everyone went to help him carry the supermarket bags, leaving Taehyung and me alone again.
And like before, everything went silent. It wasnât a bad silenceânever for me. Iâve always communicated better without saying anything.
âDo you want to tell them?â I asked when I felt he could respond. But unexpectedly, he sat up and rested his head on my shoulder.
I knew he was scared; I could feel it. But I was sure no one would prove him wrong about what he felt.
I even think some of the other members might be like him.
âThey wonât judge you. Iâm sure at least one of them is like you. Maybe Jungkook? And Hoseok seems to have a certain addiction to tickling othersâmaybe heâs a ler, like you said.â
He relaxed more; I could feel it. I told you I wouldnât forget the information he gave me.
âYouâre right, hyung. Thank you very much.â I think for the first timeâor maybe the third at mostâTaehyung hugged me first. He was laughing again.
âYouâre welcome, Taehyung. Please, always tell me when you need some tickles.â
I poked him to tease him, and he stuck his tongue out at me. I laughed at how funny he looked like that.
And thatâs how everyone found out about his need for ticklesâand how Taehyung-ah and I became inseparable.
