*At a photoshoot Ryujin gets done with her part as Yeji comes*

Ryujin: Ah this is so uncomfortable. Yeji, can you give me a hand and loosen this up for me? 

Yeji: Sure. 

*Yeji fixes it and pinches Ryujin's sides causing her to jump*

Ryujin: Hey! 

*Yeji laughs*

Yeji: Sorry, I can't help it. I like it when your sides and tummy sticks out like that. It's cute. 

Ryujin: Stop calling me cute it makes me sick. 

Yeji: Okay...I'll stop I guess...

*Yeji leaves as Chaeryoung comes and notices Ryujin's cheeks*

Chaeryoung: Did you change your makeup? 

Ryujin: No why? 

Chaeryoung: Your cheeks are really red right now. 

*Ryujin rushes to the bathroom and looks at her cheeks and gets upset*

Ryujin: Ah! This is the 2nd time this week. Why am I like this? I don't like to be tickled...I don't even like Yeji! Ew...

*Yeji goes into the bathroom and smiles at Ryujin's pink face*

Yeji: Your face... it's red. Is it because of me? 

Ryujin: Shut up it isn't because of you I just got hot. 

Yeji: Is it also because of me? 

*Ryujin sighs*

Ryujin: I don't know why I'm gonna fight with you if you won't listen. 

*Then she leaves and the next day Ryujin and Chaeryoung are at an office preparing for a vlive*

Chaeryoung: So...you and Yeji? 

Ryujin: It's not true. She's only being annoying because she thinks I enjoy it. 

Chaeryoung: But...you do. 

Ryujin: No, she's a nice friend I admit that but dating...no...

Chaeryoung: How about that one time with Yeji? 

*Ryujin is confused and thinks*

Ryujin: The time I almost beat her because she stole my toothbrush or the time I accidentally threw a loaf of bread at her? 

*Then throwback to a month ago where her and Yeji are dancing and she trips*

Yeji: Ah! Ow!

*Yeji touches her leg in pain*

Ryujin: Unni! Are you okay? 

*Ryujin gets worried and holds her hand*

Yeji: Yea. I can't afford another break I just got done with my eye infection. 

Ryujin: It's fine, I can help you until you can get better. 

Yeji: Thanks but I can't leave my team again, as my job as a leader I must guide them to success. 

Ryujin: But you overwork yourself. You need rest. 

*Yeji sighs and gets upset*

Ryujin: Fine...you can do it. 

Yeji: Do what? 

Ryujin: That weird poking thing you do on my stomach. 

Yeji: Really?! 

Ryujin: Yea...

*Yeji pokes Ryujin's stomach but she isn't laughing*

Yeji: Why aren't you laughing? 

Ryujin: You aren't exactly touching my tummy. I can't feel much with this thick sweatshirt. 

*Yeji lifts up Ryujin's sweatshirt and pokes her tummy really gently as looks the other way in hopes she won't laugh*

Yeji: Should I try harder? 

Ryujin: Nah it's o-okay. 

*Ryujin is close to giving her laugh away until Yeji pinches her sides*

Ryujin: Yeji please stop!! 

Yeji: Why? You only want me to stop because you feel embarrassed. Just admit your cute and I'll stop. 

*Ryujin laughs until she grabs Yeji's hard with her strength*

Yeji: You forget I have another arm. And upper body strength. 

*Yeji is able to pin Ryujin down even with her injured leg*

Ryujin: Fine I'm cute! There! 

Yeji: I don't play easy, especially when it's tickling. I'll make sure you say that even when your in between breathes. 

*Yeji tickles Ryujin's sides and armpits leaving Ryujin hysterically laughing*

Ryujin: I'm cute! I'm cute! 

Yeji: Already? No, I want you to say it once I'm done finishing you. I want payback after all the ty stuff you've said to me. 

*Yeji continues tickling Ryujin*

Ryujin: I'm cute! I'm cute! I have a crush on you! 

*Lia hears that and that's when the backstory ends*

Ryujin: That doesn't mean anything. When your tortured to death you can say anything. 

Chaeryoung: Right...

*Chaeryoung rolls her eyes and starts the vlive*

Chaeryoung: Hi, we are- 

Ryujin: Ah ! 

*Ryujin feels a pinch to her side and it's Yeji hiding another the table*

Ryujin: Why you little...

Chaeryoung: Ryujin, were on camera. 

Ryujin: Oh hello. What should we talk about today? 

Chaeryoung: A lot of people were wondering about our comeback date. 

*Ryujin pretends to think and gets attacked again and jumps*

Chaeryoung: What was that? 

Ryujin: Just a spider. 

*She slaps her leg*

Ryujin: I got it. 

Chaeryoung: So as we were saying...

*Another poke happens*

Ryujin: Yeji I swear! 

Chaeryoung: Yeji is under there? 

*Yeji gets up from under the table and sits next to Ryujin*

Yeji: Hello, it's Yeji here. 

Chaeryoung: Why were you under the table? 

Yeji: I was pulling a prank on Ryujin. 

*Ryujin gets annoyed as Yeji smiles*

*Then after the vlive full of tickle teases Chaeryoung puts the camera up*

Chaeryoung: I'm going to leave you two alone and eat lunch with Yuna. 

Ryujin: Nooo, don't leave me here. 

Chaeryoung: Sorry. 

*Chaeryoung had no regret leaving them alone*

Yeji: So...you like me? 

Ryujin: Please help me...anybody. 

Yeji: So I guess you don't like me? 

*Yeji gets pouty as Ryujin feels guilty*

Ryujin: Don't make that face, then I'll feel guilty. 

Yeji: Exactly. You deserve to feel this way. 

Ryujin: I'm sorry for all the bad stuff I've said before. I do like you but at times I won't admit it. 

Yeji: So you do have a crush on me? 

*Ryujin chuckles and hugs Yeji as she smiles*

Yeji: And you like being tickled? 

Ryujin: Hey, don't push it. 

Yeji: But you didn't bother stopping my hand when I tickled you earlier. 

*Yeji hits Ryujin's favorite spot which is her back*

Ryujin: Hehehehe...go lower. 

Yeji: See! 

Ryujin: That doesn't mean anything. It's more relaxing than ticklish. 

Yeji: I tickled your sides and stomach and yet you didn't budge, just laugh. 

Ryujin: I didn't want anyone suspecting anything during the vlive. 

Yeji: I still think your lying. 

*Yeji looks at Ryujin's belly*

Yeji: If I tickle you for five minutes will you admit you enjoy it? 

Ryujin: Fine...but only those five minutes. If you continue longer I'll tickle you back. 

*Yeji laughs*

Yeji: You at tickling me. 

Ryujin: But I know your ticklish. 

Yeji: In which spot? 

*Ryujin doesn't answer because she doesn't know*

Yeji: That's right. Turn around so I can start. 

*Ryujin turns around and raises her arms*

Yeji: That won't be necessary, I know your worse spot is on your belly. 

Ryujin: You don't even know my worst spot. 

Yeji: I do, but I was waiting for a perfect moment to destroy it with tickles. You'll love it...and hate it too. 

*Yeji starts and immediately pinches her hips from under her shorts, Ryujin bursts out laughing*

Ryujin: HAHAHAHA NO NO NO MORE! 

Yeji: Told you you'll hate it, but after awhile it's bearable. 

*Then Yeji tickles Ryujin's hip and thigh*

Yeji: The tickle dragon might have to punish you real good. 

Ryujin: HEY HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN?!?! 

Yeji: Hm...only two minutes. 

*Ryujin keeps laughing so Yeji stops tickling her and goes on top of Ryujin*

Yeji: Were not done. 

*Yeji then continues tickling Ryujin's hips, then blows a raspberry on her tummy*

Ryujin: HAHAHAHAHA. 

Yeji: See, don't you love it. My little lee loves her tum tum getting tickled. 

*Then she finishes and Ryujin catches her breath*

Yeji: You like it now? Does my little baby like her tickles by the evil tickle dragon now? 

Ryujin: Only if you stop using the nickname tickle dragon. 

Yeji: No, I like that nickname. It reminds me of a fairyland tale character. So did you like it. 

Ryujin: N-no. 

*Yeji is confused*

Yeji: Are you trying to tell me no because you won't admit you like it? 

Ryujin: No, I swear...

Yeji: Then I'll punish you again tonight. Don't come late or I'll tickle you longer. 

Ryujin: Unni- 

*Yeji kisses Ryujin's cheek*

Yeji: I'm pretty sure after this my ticklish baby will finally treat my powers like a reward. 

*Yeji leaves then at home Ryujin is reading a book as Yeji comes inside*

Yeji: Guess what time it is? Tickle time! 

Ryujin: I'm already prepared. 

*Ryujin takes off her jacket with her crop top but it's sleeveless*

Yeji: Woah...and your barefoot? Your bold for that. 

Ryujin: I'm ready...to be rewarded. 

*Yeji eyes lit up in happiness*

Yeji: So you admit you like being tickled? 

Ryujin: Yes...but don't tell the others. 

*Yeji gets excited and jumps on the bed to tickle Ryujin, starting with her sides*

Yeji: Give me those marshmallow sides! 

Ryujin: HAHAHAHAHA. 

Yeji: The tickle dragon is really craving some...neck tickles. 

*Yeji goes lightly on Ryujin's neck as she laughs but Yeji kisses Ryujin*

Ryujin: Oh...

Yeji: Oh...

Yuna: Did you guys just kiss? 

*They look at Yuna in embarrassment*
