🪶 the teasing….

🪶 he will wiggle his fingers barely millimeter above your skin, watching you shiver from anticipation

🪶 he speaks in a low murmur right by your ear saying things like "I can see you shaking already, and i haven’t even started."🤭

🪶 he flashes his warm dimpled smile to make you lower your guard, only to strike the second you relax

🪶 because of his height and strength he easily traps you

🪶 he might pin your wrists above your head with just one of his hands 🫠

🪶 despite pinning you firmly, his actual tickling technique is rarely rough. he is highly aware of his strength, so he uses measured, controlled movements

🪶 however, if you try to fight back, he will laugh and increase the pressure to a intense, relentless dig until you completely collapse into giggles

🪶 namjoon uses his long, slender fingers to mimic a spider crawling lightly but rapidly up your sides and waist. this feather-light touch is incredibly sharp and hard to endure😩

🪶 he uses the broad palms of his hands to cup your sides, squeezing and kneading rhythmically

🪶 this alternates between a deep massage feeling and an intense tickle

🪶 if his hands are busy holding you down, he will bury his face into your neck or shoulder, using his breath, lips, and the tip of his nose to nuzzle you into absolute hysterics

🪶 his hands are large enough to wrap almost completely around your waist, allowing him to squeeze your ribs and dig his thumbs into your sides at the exact same time

🪶 he loves targeting the sensitive skin right bellow your ears and along your collarbone using a light, scratching motion with his fingernails

🪶 if he manages to trap your legs under his weight, he will casually run a single finger down the arch of your foot, knowing it completely paralyzes your ability to escape
