“Taeb Nwod”

Word count: 1746

Lee!: Ricky

Ler!: Gyuvin

SUM: Gyuvin, Yujin, and Y/N are in a predicament where they need information that Ricky has. Gyuvin however decided to mess with Ricky despite their situation. (Based off the book series “Inheritance Games”)

Context below “read more” cut!

Context (Scroll down to “chess” image for fic!)

I am giving context due to the fact that yes, there will be a part two! You may read the context either before or after you read my fic!

This fic is based off of the book series “Inheritance games” which I read in 2023. I made this fic in March of 2024.

Inheritance games is about a high school girl named Avery, who has received an inheritance from a man who she had not met before, his name being Tobias Hawthorne. Tobias has 4 grandsons and other family members which Avery has to spend a year in the same house as to receive the inheritance. There are puzzles and games hidden that need to be solved, which can trace why Avery is linked to this family.

So with that basic summary without spoilers, I have made the 4 grandsons the ZB1 members who are specifically from the company Yuehua. In the age order the grandsons are; Nash, Grayson, Jameson, and Xander.

If you read the book, you would understand how I assigned each member the character. Nash is Hao, Grayson is Ricky, Jameson is Gyuvin, and Xander is Yujin. Which is also their age order irl. Crazy i know. but its so right

The grandsons have the last name Hawthorne in the book, instead I made their last names Yuehua for this. Makes sense?

Now for a little character analysis before I get into it, here’s what Jameson and Grayson look like as a reference that I found on pinterest.

Ricky - Grayson

Grayson is (If I remember correctly) always wearing a suit, is very serious and mostly cold. Always has his mind set and is focus on tasks. Doesn’t talk too much.

Gyuvin - Jameson

Jameson is flirty and goofy, His introduction in the book was literally him walking around drunk with his shirt unbuttoned. He will go out of his way to taunt Grayson.

Can you see my vision. Hopefully you do.

See I didn’t wanna put a Y/N in this, but Y/N is Avery. You DONT have to imagine yourself because it is a Fem Y/N, do what you please.

And this fic is based off of Book two, Chapter 17. Basically Grayson and Jameson are competing to solve these puzzles and Grayson has info Jameson needs. The story has a lot of word puzzles, mostly anagrams. Jameson starts “On spake” which sorted around means “No speak”. Grayson cannot speak until Jameson ceases On spake. After that, Grayson initiates, “Taeb Nwod” which sorted around means “Beat down” and they fight each other.

So basically, that chapter had such a GOOD opportunity for a tickle scene, but it DIDN’T, so I took matters into my own hands.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my first public fic. It’s short and I plan to make part 2 much longer I promise!!!

“Taeb Nwod”

Ricky stood with his arms behind his back, clearly frustrated by his inability to speak as Gyuvin explained the whole ordeal. But even after Gyuvin was done speaking, he didn’t want his fun to end just yet. “So…” Gyuvin dragged his every word painfully slowly. “Before I end this, Don’t you just like the sound of this silence?” he turned to Y/N and Yujin with an evil grin.

The elder simply rolled his eyes, but Y/N felt nervous seeing Ricky like this. His stare was cold and looked deep into the soul of his brother.

“I mean really,” Gyuvin put his arm on Ricky’s shoulder, leaning against him as if he were a statue. “It’s funny seeing you like this.” He poked Ricky in the side repeatedly, making him jolt as he adjusted his posture.

Gyuvin chuckled at the silent reaction. “Sometimes I want to make you break ‘On spake’. Or… Just see you break.” Gyuvin grinned mischievously as he squeezed Ricky’s side, making Ricky slap his hand away quickly. The older turned his head away to fight the smile trying to creep onto his face.

“What’s wrong, Icy boy~” Gyuvin poked at his ribcage, watching Ricky’s lips quiver as he did everything in his power not to let a laugh slip. “Gyuvin..-” Y/N whispered, trying to go back to the topic of why they even came to see Ricky.

Gyuvin sighed, knowing very well what was next. “You know what, the real fun only comes after.” Gyuvin said to Y/N specifically, referring to making his brother angry.

“Cease On Spake” He finally commanded

As soon as the words were spoken, Ricky exhaled roughly as he quickly took off the suit jacket he was wearing, tossing it onto the floor. “Taeb nwod, now.” Ricky cracked his knuckles, clearly irritated.

Yujin huffed and shook his head disappointedly at his older brother's antics, “Now it’s gonna take forever…” He muttered under his breath. Y/N was left wondering what Taeb Nwod even meant… another anagram? But the longer the word replayed in her mind, the 2 words came together.

“Beat down???” Y/N asked out loud, Yujin nodded. “Seriously!? Guys we need to-”

Yujin grabbed Y/N’s wrist as he dragged her out of the room. “Come on.” he said, “Let’s just give them a minute.”. Y/N groaned, unable to believe they’re getting distracted from the task at hand. Is distraction even a Ricky trait?

“Don’t worry, Heiress!” Gyuvin called out, “This will be a quick, brotherly beat down.”

Well, let’s just say it wasn’t quick at all. As the other two sat outside the lobby, you could hear the older boys going at it loudly, their noises echoing all the way out the doors. Loud thumps were heard, some taunting laughs that undoubtedly came from Gyuvin, and several profanities being tossed back and forth like a hot potato.

“This is taking too long.” Y/N complained as she sat there, face resting in her hands. Yujin shrugged, “You’d understand if you saw how they grew up.. But Ricky may be winning by the sound of it.”

Then, It was silent… until a voice cut through. “GYUVIN YOU BETTER NOT.”

Y/N tried to ignore their business, but with such a shout coming from Ricky, it was hard to ignore. Yujin snickered to himself, “Nevermind, Ricky already lost.” He barely suppressed a chuckle as if Ricky were watching him.

Y/N tilted her head in confusion, “What makes you say that?” she wondered, knowing this didn’t sound like the end of their “Taeb nwod”.

“NOT HERE. I SWEAR TO GOD.”

“Too late, Dear brother.”

“GYUVIN I WILL KILL-”

Just then, maniacal laughter erupted from inside the building. Not sounding very familiar to Y/N, but more than familiar to Yujin. “There it is.” the boy nodded to himself. The girl had never heard such genuine laughter like that before

“What’s...” Y/N didn’t quite know how to ask, but Yujin already knew what her question was. “Oh yeah, Ricky is horribly ticklish. Gyuvin likes to torture him every chance he gets.” he explained with a little grin as he listened to the chaos going on

“That’s Ricky???” she gasped with disbelief. She thought It was a little crazy that he could have a weakness like that. Especially with the image Ricky had maintained since an early age. “Yeah, that’s not something you could make Ricky confess either.” Yujin shrugged.

“GYUHUVIHIHIN SEHEHRIOUSLY!!!”

The youngest brother sighed as he sympathized with Ricky, knowing he very well went through the same torture because of Gyuvin.

“I know he doesn’t seem like the person to be like this.” he said to the surprised girl. Y/N agreed instantly, “How long do these… last?” she asked anxiously, now reminded of the reason they’re out here to begin with

“Once this happens, not very long. He’ll tap out soon...” Yujin’s eyes traveled at a secondary possibility coming to mind, “Well, If Gyuvin isn’t being an ass, not very long.”

“OKAY OKAY! I LOSE! JUST STOP!”

As soon as Y/N heard this, she stood up and put her hand on the door handle, ready to re-enter the lobby. “Wait-” Yujin said, making the girl freeze. “Isn’t it over?” She looked back at the youngest Yuehua.

Yujin didn’t answer, but put his ear to the door and listened for a moment. “Can’t you just stop them?” Y/N asked impatiently. Yujin cringed upon hearing such an ignorant request, then softly laughed. “Bold of you to assume I have that much power against them. If they have something in common, it’s teaming up against their younger brother.”

Just when Y/N hoped it was over, the two hear a loud squeal followed by that same maniacal cackle, which made Yujin pull himself away from the door. “QUIHIHIT IHIHIT AHAHA!!”

You could hear Ricky’s shouts and punches being thrown. Yet Gyuvin laughed tauntingly, seemingly not affected by Ricky’s hits. Yujin groaned, “He’s being an ass.”

Y/N sat back down in disappointment, unable to ignore the sounds coming from inside the building. “Believe me,” Yujin sat beside her, “If I could stop them, I would.”

“WAIT LET GO- I’M SORRY! GYUVIN I’M SO-HAHAHA-”

Y/N honestly couldn’t help from listening to the laughter coming from Ricky. Deep down, she thought their brotherly bond was adorable. It was something she wouldn’t understand, so she waited regardless.

From inside the building, the two had tackled each other to the floor, Gyuvin having the upper hand. With all the hits Ricky had thrown, Gyuvin managed to pin both of Ricky’s hands above his head using a single hand alone. Gyuvin’s free hand moved swiftly from his sides to his tummy with ease.

“This is what you get for acting so serious all the time~!” Gyuvin teased as he lifted his tickling hand momentarily, Ricky smiled from ear to ear which was something he would never show anyone willingly.

“Dohont yohohu-” Ricky still giggled as he attempted to catch his breath. “Don’t you need my help!? Do you want to win this game or should I gatekeep!?”

Gyuvin smirked, “Number one, I do. Number two, I can just tickle information out of you~” He wiggled his fingers above his tummy, making Ricky panic. “WAHAHIHIT!” He pleaded desperately. “Wow… You’re already laughing and I didn’t even touch you yet~!” The younger brother chuckled.

“What if she can hear me!?” Ricky whispered frantically.

“Hmm... so~?” Gyuvin’s fingers drilled into Ricky’s hip, “Let our Heiress hear how ticklish you are~!”

Ricky tried to control himself but he couldn't help but burst into echoing laughter. The building amplified the noise he was making, and just as Ricky feared, Y/N was listening. “CEHEHEAHAHSE!!” Ricky tried to command, but Gyuvin was having way too much fun to stop.

The older kicked his feet around violently, hoping one kick would hit the boy above him.

The lobby door cracked open, “Gyuvin Hyung… Can you hurry up?” Yujin poked his head through the doorway, seeing exactly what he expected from his two brothers. “Hurry up? Why~?” Gyuvin looked up at his younger brother, then scribbled his fingers onto Ricky’s tummy, making him shriek with laughter. “PLEHEHAHASE GYUHUHUVIHIN!!” Ricky thrashed around in an attempt to escape.

“You want to be next~?” Gyuvin grinned deviously at his baby brother

“Nevermind, take your time.” Yujin shut the door before Gyuvin had a chance to even consider him his next target

Gyuvin looked down at Ricky who blushed redder than a strawberry. “How about that~ Our Heiress had to have heard you now~!”

Ricky tried so hard to argue, but his words came out as gibberish and laughter. “How unfortunate for you to have such a silly weakness~” Gyuvin laughed at Ricky’s reactions, finding him adorable.

“LEHEHET MEHE SAHAHAY SOHOMETHIHING!!”

WIth that, Gyuvin lifted his hand but not unpinning him just yet. “Yes, Lovelicky~?”

Ricky didn’t even argue upon being called such a nickname. He knew Gyuvin didn’t want to stop this any time soon. He knew what exactly to do despite knowing he’ll regret it later. “Ahahat thihis point...” he took another deep breath, “Just do this later… I’m trying to help you right now… You and Y/N…”

Gyuvin’s eyes lit up. It was such a glow in his eyes that you would never want to see, let alone encourage. “Really!? You know I’ll remember this right!? You can’t take this back!”

Ricky nodded, having a weary smile on his face. “I won’t take it back, do this anywhere else… just not here. Not now.”

“Next time I see you, it’s happening without question.” Gyuvin smiled excitedly. “Okay… sure… without question, whatever...” Ricky sighed deeply

Just like that, Gyuvin released his grip on Ricky and stood up. He held his hand out to his older brother. Ricky willingly took his hand and Gyuvin helped him up. The younger brother had a prep in his step as he practically skipped to the door to let the other two back in.

Ricky grabbed his suit vest from the floor, brushing it off and put it back on. Upon seeing Yujin and Y/N enter the building, he turned around to fix himself up. Taking deep breaths to regain his composure.

“Now, give us what we came for.” Gyuvin smiled brightly. Ricky rolled his eyes, but he knew what was yet to come. He cleared his throat, “Right this way...” He led as the other three followed.

To be continued…
