The air in the classroom crackled with anticipation. The annual school festival was just a week away, and everyone was buzzing with excitement. Jun, however, was feeling anything but thrilled. He was still reeling from the confrontation with Aiko, and he was worried about how she might react to the festival.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVQuSFwgn5

Yuki, sensing his unease, squeezed his hand reassuringly. "Don't worry, Jun," she said, her voice soft. "We'll be together the whole time."246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqqoXg3Eic
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZueIdfU8wR
Jun nodded, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. He had been feeling a little insecure lately, especially after witnessing Aiko's relentless pursuit. He couldn't help but wonder if Yuki was truly happy with him, or if she was just being nice.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7MRabndTX
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV8BLcW9eA
As if reading his mind, Yuki leaned closer and whispered, "I can't wait to spend the festival with you, Jun. It's going to be amazing."246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M7H4CRB3K
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX9aQq7zR5
Jun felt a wave of warmth wash over him. He knew he was being ridiculous, but he couldn't help but feel a little jealous when he saw Hana, his childhood friend, chatting with Yuki during their lunch break. Hana had always been a little too friendly with Yuki for his liking, and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of insecurity.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0AW0GiETl
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrZJ20WjNr
"What are you two talking about?" Jun asked, his voice a little strained.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qrzpN1hkb
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2olLW2GeOp
Hana, oblivious to his unease, grinned. "Oh, we were just discussing the festival," she said. "Yuki has some great ideas for the class booth."246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p8bz3K9At
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipoH8DtIjS
Jun forced a smile. "Sounds fun," he said, trying to hide his jealousy.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF4rQMYBw6
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruxDevFO8y
He couldn't help but feel a little left out. He wanted to be the one talking to Yuki, the one sharing ideas with her. But he was too shy, too afraid to speak up.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIdEXcSv3q

Later that day, as Jun was walking home from school, he bumped into Aiko. She was standing by the school gate, her eyes fixed on him with an intensity that made him uncomfortable.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgCzQhay9M
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4k2O7oib7
"Jun," she said, her voice soft and seductive. "I have a surprise for you."246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBJMeRmHKn
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpWZyc7046
Jun felt a shiver run down his spine. He knew he shouldn't take anything from her, but he didn't want to be rude.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWvoAcCRgq
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ET3vaVlMi
"What is it?" he asked, his voice hesitant.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy2csfgqEm
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRoftP2yc8
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "It's for the festival," she said. "I made you something special."246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgG0gDj4Hl
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5btmx4Nyye
She reached into her bag and pulled out a small, intricately carved wooden box. It was beautiful, but something about it made Jun uneasy.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4ySaJoXU9
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAOXFmFk5Z
"Thanks, Aiko," he said, taking the box. "But I don't think I can accept it."246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg0picCM6p
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAEwp4rwKE
Aiko's smile faltered. "Why not?" she asked, her voice tinged with hurt.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ1Np4ASKy
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnzNOCJQ6S
"I... I don't want to make things awkward," Jun said, trying to find the right words. "I'm happy with Yuki."246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qSnVc4Mwu
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yJ1trHHe3
Aiko's eyes narrowed. "You're happy with her?" she asked, her voice laced with bitterness. "But she doesn't love you the way I do."246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u0ZwMZTM8
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUMnqiVx9f
Jun felt a pang of guilt. He knew Aiko was obsessed with him, but he couldn't help but feel a little flattered by her attention.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc15HLAK6i
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp2wFgvClK
"I appreciate your feelings, Aiko," he said, trying to be kind. "But I'm happy with Yuki."246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiEhYRW7KR
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGeJel8wyI
Aiko turned and walked away, her shoulders slumped with defeat. Jun watched her go, his heart heavy with guilt. He didn't want to hurt her feelings, but he knew he had to be honest with himself. He was in love with Yuki, and he couldn't imagine being with anyone else.
