The next day at school, Jun was trying to avoid Yuki as much as possible. He was still mortified by the previous day's events and couldn't bring himself to face her.227Please respect copyright.PENANAlaVGxFJNJi
227Please respect copyright.PENANA4I2237OWFX
As he was walking through the hallway, he bumped into Aiko, a girl he'd only ever seen in passing. She was known for her eccentric style and her slightly unsettling obsession with Jun.227Please respect copyright.PENANApgtkr1YoNP
227Please respect copyright.PENANAlAhyRnQpOj
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."227Please respect copyright.PENANAKzoJkJuUb9
227Please respect copyright.PENANAvADxF3Oe97
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"227Please respect copyright.PENANA0J3CwIlO56
227Please respect copyright.PENANANYuAOfIt5F
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."227Please respect copyright.PENANAaYSJpmHjlm
227Please respect copyright.PENANAPGMO3pJchD
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.227Please respect copyright.PENANAoGal5et9c8
227Please respect copyright.PENANAsED4SEs6O2
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.227Please respect copyright.PENANAQPcz3FNDtA
227Please respect copyright.PENANAM9Is3zu0hq
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."227Please respect copyright.PENANAUopoArgMD0
227Please respect copyright.PENANAvM21YhktAN
Jun opened the box. Inside, he found a small, heart-shaped box of chocolate. But something about the chocolate looked... off. It had a strange, almost metallic sheen to it.227Please respect copyright.PENANAfSd4KDKV2X
227Please respect copyright.PENANAT8vF99e9iW
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.227Please respect copyright.PENANAQRw1JIyUeN
227Please respect copyright.PENANA3A1n27f9j5
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."227Please respect copyright.PENANAcLAHSwBsZW
227Please respect copyright.PENANAmVUCeGo1Ty
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"227Please respect copyright.PENANAuAdm7NQ67x
227Please respect copyright.PENANAULFy7edDh9
Aiko leaned in close to Jun, her breath hot on his cheek. "I put a little bit of my blood in it," she whispered. "I wanted to give you a piece of my heart."227Please respect copyright.PENANASpZYSmDDM7
227Please respect copyright.PENANAUG7vXm8rXP
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"227Please respect copyright.PENANASy7o2kRgtF
227Please respect copyright.PENANAi73dJPUsEl
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."227Please respect copyright.PENANAyhVIkk7fTc
227Please respect copyright.PENANAUTKQ9f2x9A
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.227Please respect copyright.PENANADvfa99cqfg
227Please respect copyright.PENANA65xHUUcY38
He ran all the way to the library, where he could finally catch his breath. He was still shaking, his mind reeling from the encounter.227Please respect copyright.PENANA3w3NDFl7C9
227Please respect copyright.PENANAdI4UYaKfCV
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.227Please respect copyright.PENANAbVBY6WtU26
227Please respect copyright.PENANArCvXQmkzqh
Jun didn't know what to say. He couldn't tell her about Aiko's blood-infused chocolate. It was just too weird, too embarrassing.227Please respect copyright.PENANAnz3nKoe5MP
227Please respect copyright.PENANAJld6qQyycT
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.227Please respect copyright.PENANA41D8Ph3QbL
227Please respect copyright.PENANA5w0gM20j0Y
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."227Please respect copyright.PENANAsWeivY6J4N
227Please respect copyright.PENANA7G6sTEGc4v
Jun sighed. He knew he couldn't keep it from her any longer. He told her about Aiko's chocolate, about the metallic sheen, about the blood.227Please respect copyright.PENANA7aiOhW9azx
227Please respect copyright.PENANAYzCB9anDOZ
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."227Please respect copyright.PENANAwqp19mGEgN
227Please respect copyright.PENANAkk2Pt7xuJF
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.227Please respect copyright.PENANA5hCda0lMuy
227Please respect copyright.PENANA3v3JppG9Bu
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."227Please respect copyright.PENANAQLXNWEChEa
227Please respect copyright.PENANAqEGP7CPU32
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
