JIMIN

By the time ai got back to my pack of friends, I had mostly contained the flush on my cheeks and the rapid beating of my heart.

My tail was tingling from the feel of her fingers still, though. It felt like an ice burn, but I sort of enjoyed it.

I sat down heavily and all faces turned to me.

"You were gone a while," Taehyung smirked suggestively, "Did you catch a female?"

"He's all red, he must have," Hoseok cried.

"Who was it?" Jin demanded, "Was it that bunny female?! Jungkook's sister?"

"No," I sighed, "Someone fainted so I took them to the infirmary,"

"Damn," Namjoon grinned, "Well seeing as she's not your prey, I'm going to have her. Her brother doesn't scare me,"

"No!"

The shock on the males faces turned to suspicion the moment I yelled. I clamped my jaw shut and cleared my throat.

"Well if you want her that badly I won't touch her," Namjoon said, "But only if you just want her for sex. It's just sex... right, Jimin?"

I hesitated. I wasn't even sure why I was against Namjoon touching the rabbit girl.

Hoseok laughed, "He's territorial Joon, this is his first hunt, of course he'd be like this,"

Taehyung grinned, "Yeah, you wanted to rip my throat out when I went after that doe girl, d'you remember?"

As they began to joke and bicker amongst each other, my thoughts whirled around in my head.

Did I want to experience sex? Yes.

Did I want to hunt her? No, I wasn't interested in hunting.

But did I want sex with her, just like my friends thought?

Maybe I would if the opportunity arose. That wasn't a bad thing, though. All male carnivores got urges like that - and she was an attractive female.

But she was a rabbit, so how would I know if I wanted her because she was prey or just because I wanted sex, or because of something else entirely?

It wouldn't really matter, I supposed.

Maybe they were right. I was feeling territorial because this was the first female I'd had even the slightest interest in. Maybe I should hunt her...

"Earth to Jimin,"

I looked up as Jin stared at me, "You know, if you want to hunt her, I can get her number for you from Hyori... She can get any information, it's kind of scary,"

The bell signalling the end of lunch chimed out loudly and I grabbed my bag.

"It's fine. I don't want to hunt her, I just think if you guys do it you'd get in trouble with her brother. He's massive, he could take you on,"

I shouldered my bag and headed away as they all got to their feet.

It was probably best to stay away from that rabbit. Nothing good would come from being around her.

BEE

"I hate myself," I groaned into my pillows, thinking back to Jimin's face after I touched his tail, "He hates me, I sexually assaulted him oh my God someone kill me, I'm the worst!"

A hard knock on my door brought my bright red face up.

"I'm coming in, Squirt,"

The door opened and Jungkook came in with a bowl in his hand.

"Shouldn't you be back at school?" I pouted, wanting to be left alone to wallow in my misery and humiliation.

"They gave me permission to stay off 'cause you're not feeling good," He said, "But I've got exams coming up so you owe me," He raised an eyebrow, "What are you doing?"

"Hoping to die," I whined, dropping my face back into my pillows, "I sexually assaulted Park Jimin and I didn't even know it,"

My brother sighed and I'm pretty sure he rolled his eyes at me, "I don't know what's wrong with you today, but chill out. Yeah, you definitely shouldn't have grabbed that asshole's tail, but he probably liked it anyway. Wolves are completely-"

"You can't say things like that about a victim!" I cried, completely shocked, "What's wrong with you?!"

He rolled his eyes at me for sure this time, "It's not sexual assault, pea brain. Yeah, the tail is an intimate area, but it's not... I don't know how to explain,"

"You said it was like touching his penis," I knew I was pouting like a kid and I hated myself even more.

He let out a sheepish laugh, "I did say that, but I was just winding you up... I didn't think you'd actually take it seriously,"

"Wooow," I sat up, "That's mean, you're so mean!"

"It's intimate but not sexual, okay? Like... Sort of like holding hands, I guess. Unless you have short tails, like us. That's way too close to my ass to have some one who I'm not sleeping with touch it,"

I really didn't want to think about my brother's bedroom habits, so I quickly changed the subject.

"What's that?" I gestured at the bowl he brought in.

"Oh. Food," He held it out, "Eat it. Seriously, you actually passed out from not eating? You're an embarrassment, Squirt,"

"I hate you," I took the bowl from him, happy to see the same raw vegetables as before, and also hating myself for being happy about that.

"Feelings mutual brat,"
