The first to discover Yujin's secret was Gunwook. I mean it didn't really take much. He had stayed home similarly to Gyuvin and Yujin. It just so happened the walls in the dorm weren't very soundproof and he could overhear the younger member's laughter.

Gunwook knew he would have to put a pin in that and use that knowledge later on. He always tried to be careful and smart about all his actions and this was no exception.

The day he decided to pull out the card was on a day him and Yujin got off from school (they went to the same school now), while the hyungs were out busy with some sort of schedules that they had to do at a later date.

"You know Jinnie, I know your secret." Gunwook blurted out while they sat on the couch watching some show together.

Yujin wide eyed looked over at Gunwook "Secret? What secret?" He was confused but also worried. Could Gunwook be referring to... that?

"That you're extremely ticklish." YEP it was in fact that.

"W-what gave you that idea?" Yujin attempted to play it off cool, he knew he wasn't doing a good job at that.

"I overheard Gyuvin hyung tickling you not that long ago, after we played twenty questions." Gunwook said nonchalantly. Despite his act though Gunwook was ready to pounce on Yujin any second now. He wanted to be a good hyung to Yujin.

Growing up Gunwook was the younger one in his family, he had been on a handful of occasions tickled by his older brother. Gunwook saw it fitting to take a page out of his own brother's book and do the same to the younger boy.

"Dunno what you're talking about." Yujin cleared his throat, "I'm not ticklish." He leaned back into the couch stiff as a board, on edge in case Gunwook tried anything.

"Really? Maybe I was wrong." Gunwook pretended to brush it off before pouncing on top of Yujin. "Just kidding!" He had a big grin on his face as he easily pinned Yujin down.

"Hyuuuung come oooon..." The younger whined trying to wrestle against the older boy.

Gunwook giggled softly at the younger's attempts to escape. "What Jinnie," he smirked as he scribbled his fingers on his stomach, “You seem scared~" 

"NOHoHOo!" Yujin squirmed trying to kick Gunwook off him but it was proving difficult.

"Cmon Yujinnie surely you're not thaaaat ticklish~" Gunwook teased. Honestly before Gunwook was rather nervous about being Yujin's hyung but now they he had actually had time to settle into the title, he was having a blast with it.

I mean now he had someone he could tease. With that, he slipped his finger into the younger's naval, wiggling the finger around. "NAHAHAH IHIHIHITS SOHOHO BAHAHAD!" Yujin squeaked out.

"Ohhh well that's what happens when you lie to your hyung and try to keep things from him!" Gunwook grinned as he leaned down, lifting up the boys shirt enough so it was exposed to him.

"Hey Jinnie do you know what my favorite fruit is?"

Yujin furrowed his eyebrows, quickly he realized what Gunwook was referring to. "NOHO HYUHUNG DOHOHO-" His protests were cut off as Gunwook leaned down and blew raspberries all over the poor boy's stomach.

"PLEHEHEHEASE NAHAHAH-" Yujin cackled his whole body shaking with laughter. Gunwook just continued though, loving hearing the younger's loud laughter. "IHIHIHI CAHAHAHANT-"

"Why not Jinnie? Do you not like raspberries? They are such a good and healthy fruit though!" Faking innocence Gunwook squeezed at Yujin's hips, causing the younger to buck his hips and kick his feet out. "NAHAHAT THEHEHERE!" He squealed

"Aww why not? Too ticklish?" Gunwook chuckled leaning down, inhaling a long breathe of air before blowing a long raspberry on Yujin's stomach once more.

"NAHAHA-" Yujin's laughter turned silent as he softly hiccuped. Gunwook took that as his queue to stop and let the younger go.

"Ticklish aren't ya? I don't know how you planned on trying to keep that a secret." He rubbed at Yujin's stomach to help ease the phantom tickles.

Jiwoong was the second to discover. The two often hung out despite their age difference. Mostly because Jiwoong looked at Yujin the same as his younger brother, they were basically the same age anyways so it came naturally.

He felt like he had a duty to take care of Yujin make sure he had meals and was keeping up on his schoolwork regardless of their busy schedules.

In turn of that, it was exactly how Jiwoong discovered it. While helping Yujin with his homework. "Hyung I just don't understand the problem." He huffed staring at the math sheet. Algebra was just too hard.

Jiwoong leaned over to look at Yujin's work, his hair brushing against Yujin's neck causing the younger to flinch. The older noticed the reaction but kept quiet, looking at the sheet. "Don't worry Yujinnie your hyung's got you!"

He kept the position and wrote out the problem explaining step by step how Yujin would be able to get the answer. While it seemed like the younger kept flinching from his hair brushing against his neck. Jiwoong could tell what was going on and it only made him smile.

"How about we take a little mental break, you seem a little distracted anyways~" He couldn't help but tease the younger. Yujin blushing slightly as he nodded "Yeah sounds good."

He began to stretch in his chair, bringing his arms up to really get a nice stretch. Jiwoong saw this as his golden opportunity, moving his hands to quickly squeeze at Yujin's underarms.

"ACK-" Yujin yelped loudly slamming his arms back down to his sides. "HYUHUHUNG!?" He questioned confused. The last thing he had expected was for Jiwoong to actually tickle him...

Jiwoong smiled softly chuckling at Yujin's reaction "What? Did you think I didn't notice how ticklish you are? This is the perfect way to free your mind anyways!"

Blush spread over Yujin's cheeks, he thought he was hiding it well but now the amount of people who knew his secret was only increasing...

The older took this time to dig his fingers in more at the spot, causing Yujin to sit up and try to escape the torture. "Nah ah, no can do Jinnie." As Yujin was slipping away, Jiwoong grabbed the younger by his ribs and started tasering his fingers inbetween each rib.

"NOHO COHohOMe OHOn!" His legs wobbled, his body giving out on him. Jiwoong noticed and laughed pulling the younger closer to help stabilize him. "Better get used to this kinda stuff Yujinnie, the more people find out the more they will want to see the cute smile of our cute maknae~"

It was true, everyone loved seeing their youngest smile. If anything this would be even more of a reason to tickle him.

Matthew and Taerae. They had learned from Jiwoong, randomly it got brought up in conversation and Matthew and Taerae hadn't forgotten about it.

The group was staying a hotel due to some schedule that required them too far away from their dorms and company. It just so happened that Matthew, Taerae, and Yujin were staying in a hotel room together.

After a day exploring the city's sights and indulging in delicious meals, the tired trio went to their hotel room. Yujin had immediately jumped into bed, getting comfortable while watching the tv.

It was at this time Matthew came up with the idea of them tickling Yujin. Out of sight from Yujin, Matthew whispered to Taerae the plan. They would come in from both sides and sandwich Yujin in between them.

Grinning mischievously, they walked towards the bed where Yujin was already all snuggled up in the middle. Matthew lying down on the younger's right and Taerae on the left.

"Watcha watching Yujinnie?" Taerae asked as he wrapped an arm lazily around the younger's back.

"Just some kdrama that's on." He replied not noticing anything odd about the two's behavior. Though, he really should have.

"Yeah?" Matthew wrapped his arm around Yujin as well, casually trapping the younger between them. Yujin didn't even notice until he felt poking at his sides.

"H-Huh?" He gasped a confused look on his face, Matthew and Taerae were poking his sides...

Matthew grinned "What's the matter?" acting as if he wasn't doing anything at all in the first place. Taerae took this chance while Yujin was focused on Matthew to scribbling his fingers up Yujin's side.

"AcK- HYuhuhung-" He giggled squirming away from Taerae's hand, with that Matthew took the opportunity to do the same as Taerae. So while Yujin tried to escape by leaning closer to Matthew he ultimately was just leaning into more tickles.

"WHAhAt- NOho-" Yujin's squirming had started and yet all it did was make one side worse and then when he tried to lessen that side the other ended up getting worse.

It was truly a lose lose situation. "THihiS IHIhisn't FahahaIR!" He yelped as Taerae moved one hand to spider up Yujin's back, causing the younger to arch his back.

Taerae chuckled "I think it's pretty fair, we get to hear you laugh which is the best gift we could ask for!"

Matthew nodded in agreement "Exactly Yujinnie! We need a little energy boost after the tiring day we just had!"

Yujin shook his head in disagreement "IHiHIt DoHOhohoesn't EhEHehenergize MEHEHE!"

"Oh wellll~" Matthew teased taking the time to flutter his finger's over Yujin's neck, the boy scrunching up his neck in turn.

This was borderline worse than Gyuvin and Gunwook were with him... "Hyuhuhung's coHOHome Ohon-" he jerked towards Taerae as Matthew started squeezing his side rapidly, eliciting a snort from him.

Taerae grinned and started doing the same. Even with the both of them doing the same things the way they did it was different. Their speeds weren't the same and it was driving Yujin mad.

"KNoHOhoCK IHIHIT OHOhohoff-"

Hanbin the leader wasn't actually the last to know he was just the last one to show off his knowledge. As the leader he was pretty observant over each and every one of his members. Yujin especially as the youngest.

He'd be lying to say he didn't notice how some of the other members were more prone to poking the youngest in the side or blowing air on his ears to get him to jolt. It was plain obvious that everyone knew now.

It was also plain obvious that today Yujin had been exhausted from practice. Hanbin knew just the way to approach him as well. Walking into Yujin's room, it empty besides the young boy sprawled out on his bed.

"You seem extra tired today baby.." Hanbin came closer to the bed and sat down. "Do you want hyung to give you a special massage? You seem a little tense."

The younger looked up from the bed and nodded his head. "Yes please hyung... thank you." The answer put a soft smile on Hanbin's face. So if the massage was a little bit tickly that was something he could keep to himself.

It wasn't like he would be like the other's... at least not right now the future perhaps, but right now he wanted to give him the softest most relaxing tickles possible.

So, Hanbin sat up on the bed. He started off with an actual massage making sure to be gentle but firm to roll out all the knots in the younger's body.

Slowly Hanbin's massage started with gentle fluttering fingers at Yujin's side. "Don't be alarmed Jinnie." He warned the youngest of his plans. He didn't want anything to be unpleasant for him anyways.

To Hanbin's surprise, Yujin actually accepted it pretty quickly. Soft giggles flowing, slightly muffled from his face buried in his arms. If Hanbin could see his face he'd realize just how red it was.

"You did such a good job today Jinnie. You deserve to relax and laugh a little bit... you're so young and have so much pressure on your shoulders." Hanbin hummed as he lightly scribbled at Yujin's back, causing the other to squirm a tiny bit.

Even though Yujin was embarrassed that he was happily accepting the tickles, he still felt a lot more relaxed. "Thahank yohou Hanbihin hyung." He mumbled in his arms.

Hanbin smiled "Anytime you need Yujinnie," he skittered his fingers up the younger's back and to his neck, "never hesitate to come seek me out when you're stressed."

Yujin smiled at that, happy to hear those words from the older. He was really glad he had all his members by his side, no matter what. Even the ones he didn't know well prior to boys planet, they managed to hold a special place in his heart quickly.

If there had to be a time that Taerae loved, it had to be at night when all the intruders had left. Around this time, him and the other indoor monsters were free to roam outside of the facility and see the others who lived on the outside, like Jingxiang and Gunwook. Admittedly, he looked forward to when the pests would leave, their noisiness would always annoy him as they searched the facility, stealing the items that belonged to him and other monsters, and the fact that they could make him immobile by holding eye contact annoyed him even more. While heading to the spot he, Matthew and Gunwook would relax at, he heard loud laughter that sounded a lot like Matthew's. He huffed and began to smile at the sweet sound, walking just a bit faster to their spot, only to see Gunwook laying on top of the smaller and blowing raspberries nonstop on his ribs, drawing sweet cackles out of the older. Taerae had found himself to enjoy being around those two a lot, and it all started when Matthew insisted on him meeting Gunwook. Since then, the three had become close, meeting at the same spot almost every night. Being stuck in his own thoughts, he hadn't even realized that Gunwook stopped tickling Matthew until they had called out to him.

"Taerae-yah are you just going to stand there and stare?" Matthew giggled and motioned for him to come sit with them, to which Taerae obliged with a small smile.

"What did Tyu do to get wrecked so badly Wookie?" Taerae smirked at the smaller, feeling satisfied at the colour that blossomed on his cheeks.

"He didn't do anything, I just wanted to hear his laugh. It's super cute hyung, don't you agree?"

"HEY! I'm right here y'know."

Taerae chuckled softly at the two's antics, catching their attention.

"You know, as much as you hang out with us, neither if us has tickled you Rae-yah." Matthew smiled at Taerae who was taken aback by the sudden change in the conversation.

"Hyung is right! I haven't heard you giggle that much, I'm sure it'd be adorable!" Gunwook grinned and Taerae swore if he had a tail, it'd be wagging at a thousand miles per hour.

"That's cute and all, but you two do know I'm not ticklish right?"

"Why do I feel like you're lying to us Coilie, you wouldn't riight?" Matthew smiled playfully at Taerae who couldn't help but avoid his eyes.

"I'm just not, you'd be wasting your time trying."

Gunwook hummed in acknowledgement but there was a grin growing on his face.

"Say hyung, if you aren't ticklish, surely you wouldn't mind if Tyu hyung and I tickled you a bit? I'm sure it'll be fun!"

Taerae tried his best not to make a run for it right there, but much to his own disappointment, he couldn't say no to those two no matter how much he wanted to. 

"Okay okay fine, but I'm warning you, you'll get bored quite fast.”

“Yay! Okay Tyu hyung can you hold his arms up?”

“Alright! This is going to be so fun!”

The two giggled as they shifted, allowing Taerae to lay down, and Matthew to hoist his arms above his head. Taerae would be lying if he said he wasn't feeling a bit nervous, especially with the way Tyu smirked down at him while Gunwook raised his shirt to expose his abdomen.

“Ready hyung? This is reaaally gonna tick tick tickle~” Gunwook grinned, wiggling his fingers close to Taerae's side. Much to his amusement, Taerae flinched and began to squirm a bit.

“Yes, I'm ready but it won't wORK-” Taerae was cut off by a squeal when Matthew suddenly bent down and blew a long raspberry on his neck.

“Uh huh, and you said you weren't ticklish. What was that then hm?~” Matthew grinned as Taerae went a bit pink at the noise that escaped him.

“Nohothing- You simply caught me off guard.” Taerae tried his hardest to hold back a nervous smile as Gunwook's fingers began to trace up and down his sides slowly.

“Yknow hyung, the sooner you laugh, the sooner this will all be over! Or is it that you've been wanting this hm? Have you seen Tyu hyung and I's tickle fights and been wanting in? The big bad Coilie is actually a big softie huh?” Gunwook cooed, switching to gently spidering over the older's sides, grinning when Taerae squirmed more, letting out small squeaks that he tried desperately to muffle.

“Cmon Coilie, let out that adorable laugh for us~ You know you want tooo~” 

Taerae shook his head quickly at the teases, but the longer the gentle tickles went on, the harder it became to hold back his giggles. Finally, the dam burst when Matthew began to knead at the centre of his underarms.

“WaHAHAit- TyUhUhu dOHohOn't-”

“Ahahaw, listen to that precious laugh~ Isn't he the cutest like this Wookie? We should have done this way sooner!” 

Gunwook grinned and nodded, prodding along Taerae's lower tummy, drawing louder squeals out of the man below them. 

“Just a cute little coilie for us yea? Look at how widely he's smiling! Are you having fun hyung? You haven't tried to escape and you haven't said stop eiither~”

“SHUHUT UHUHUP-” Taerae blushed bright red at the accusations, only causing his tormentors to coo more. They continued on for a while at the pace they had established, until Taerae had shrieked and his squirming had increased tenfold.

“SHIHIHIT- WOHOHOHOOKIHIHIE NOHOHOT THEHEHERE-”

“Not where hyung? This tickly little tickle spooot right here?~” Gunwook grinned as he drilled small circles into the older's hips, causing his laughter to raise in volume and pitch.

“Huh this must be a suuuper bad spot if our dear coilie is laughing thiiiis hard~ Does it tick tick tickle Rae-yah? I bet it does!~” Matthew giggled as Taerae only went redder at his comments.

“PLEHEHEASE- IHIHIHIT'S SOHOHO BAHAHAD-”

Gunwook hummed in acknowledgement and smiled fondly.

“I'll stop after one last thing, okay hyung?”

“fIHihIne- WAHAHAIT FUHUHUCK-”

Taerae was sent back into hysterics as Wookie pressed long raspberries to his hips, the vibrations traveling through his whole body as his thrashed and shrieked.

Gunwook paused as Taerae's laughter dipped into silent wheezing and Matthew followed, letting go of Taerae and rubbing away the remaining phantom tickles.

“That was adorable Rae-yah, we should do that so much more!” Matthew cooed while patting the Coilhead's hair, smiling fondly as the final giggles slipped out of him.

“I agree hyung! We have to make you laugh more!”

Taerae simply sighed and leaned into Matthew, who was more than happy to hug him into his side.

“Group cuddles Wookie? I think we tired our favourite coilie.”

“Okay!”
