Jimin hopped out gracefully and went to stroke his hand along the length of his bribe. "Pretty, isn't it?"

"Pretty over-the-top," I grumbled, incredulous. "He gave you that just for two days of holding me hostage?"

Jimin made a face. The aegyo wouldn't work on me. I was already immune to his cuteness. Well sometimes.

A second later, comprehension came and I gasped in horror. "It's for every time he's gone, isn't it?"

He nodded.

I slammed my door and stomped toward the house. He danced along next to me, still unrepentant.

"Jimin, don't you think this is just a little bit controlling? Just a tiny bit psychotic, maybe?"

"Not really." He sniffed. "You don't seem to grasp how dangerous a young werewolf can be. Especially when I can't see them. Taehyung has no way to know if you're safe. You shouldn't be so reckless."

My voice turned acidic. "Yes, because a vampire slumber party is the pinnacle of safety conscious behavior."

Jimin laughed. "I'll give you a pedicure and everything," he promised.

It wasn't so bad, except for the fact that I was being held against my will. Jin brought Italian food — the good stuff, all the way from Port Angeles — and Jimin was prepared with my favorite movies. Even Rosé was there, quietly in the background. Jimin did insist on the pedicure, and I wondered if he was working from a list — maybe something he'd compiled from watching bad sitcoms.
