Hana found Yuki in the cafeteria, surrounded by her usual group of friends. She waited until Yuki was alone before approaching her.184Please respect copyright.PENANAqv4zYVVdZC

"Yuki, I need to talk to you about something," Hana said, her voice serious.184Please respect copyright.PENANAAA4FID0bJr
184Please respect copyright.PENANApO8Ho2mGHA
Yuki raised an eyebrow. "What's up?"184Please respect copyright.PENANAxn5gi54gLG
184Please respect copyright.PENANA5gBvQnaSix
Hana took a deep breath. "It's about Jun," she said. "He's been acting really strange lately, and I think something's wrong."184Please respect copyright.PENANA6BtHIwOq8O
184Please respect copyright.PENANAzJtQP9VNeF
Yuki's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"184Please respect copyright.PENANA1S9xklssnj
184Please respect copyright.PENANA6y5bGirjLD
Hana told Yuki about Aiko and the blood-infused chocolate. Yuki listened intently, her expression growing increasingly concerned.184Please respect copyright.PENANAFRYT5rNXeX

"That's... that's crazy," Yuki said, shaking her head. "I can't believe someone would do that."184Please respect copyright.PENANAZiLPkAZC29
184Please respect copyright.PENANAM9vPDXpr2w
"I know," Hana said. "Jun's really scared. He doesn't know what to do."184Please respect copyright.PENANAYy2YWfbQRT
184Please respect copyright.PENANA2dVjy1O2uF
Yuki thought for a moment. She knew Jun was shy, but she had never imagined he was being harassed by someone like Aiko. She had to help him.184Please respect copyright.PENANApH4cQdAfJ4
184Please respect copyright.PENANArOGXaWG3q6
"I'm going to talk to Jun," Yuki said, her voice firm. "He needs to know that he's not alone."184Please respect copyright.PENANAmfQnoPf4FU

Yuki walked over to Jun, who was sitting alone at a table in the corner of the cafeteria. He looked up when he saw her, his face pale and drawn.184Please respect copyright.PENANABXRdSVQnHp

"Jun, can I talk to you?" Yuki asked, her voice soft.184Please respect copyright.PENANAEs1TtThZRH
184Please respect copyright.PENANAiVc8Rj0pGu
Jun hesitated. He was still nervous about what had happened the other day, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief when he saw Yuki.184Please respect copyright.PENANAmlTirOnQis

"Sure," he mumbled, looking down at his hands.184Please respect copyright.PENANAn4EjgrXnQs
184Please respect copyright.PENANAvOfQ9sZwgL
Yuki sat down across from him. "I heard about what happened with Aiko," she said. "I'm so sorry."184Please respect copyright.PENANADYLCHdaIe7
184Please respect copyright.PENANAUs7xhL6Qd1
Jun looked up at her, his eyes filled with surprise. "You know?" he asked.184Please respect copyright.PENANANJcPe2Tok6

Yuki nodded. "Hana told me. I'm really worried about you."184Please respect copyright.PENANANueQjyi8ck

Jun felt a wave of relief wash over him. He wasn't alone. Yuki cared about him.184Please respect copyright.PENANA4mncfCKPcC
184Please respect copyright.PENANAmG7jJGr3UC
"I don't know what to do," Jun said, his voice trembling. "Aiko is really scary."184Please respect copyright.PENANAxbABdlgChp
184Please respect copyright.PENANAiT6ytjvLl0
Yuki smiled. "Don't worry," she said. "I'll help you."184Please respect copyright.PENANAYwcEwG0CAd
184Please respect copyright.PENANAyxwHZrdjfK
She reached out and took his hand. "We'll figure this out together."184Please respect copyright.PENANAdF9UcTneVo

Jun felt a warmth spread through his chest. He had never felt so safe, so protected. He was finally starting to believe that maybe, just maybe, he could find happiness with Yuki.
