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.166Please respect copyright.PENANAcbu8OjqKjI
166Please respect copyright.PENANAd3xBpzK3hP
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.166Please respect copyright.PENANASGKrKaGe30
166Please respect copyright.PENANA7oW1KFYr9e
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."166Please respect copyright.PENANA71I7f3Ap5p
166Please respect copyright.PENANAcE55lFPRHy
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"166Please respect copyright.PENANAEL6ZLE5DU8
166Please respect copyright.PENANAgBlT8l5CvB
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."166Please respect copyright.PENANARMMlZjux79
166Please respect copyright.PENANAvObrYExFGe
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.166Please respect copyright.PENANARf4R6i6lFi
166Please respect copyright.PENANASAGX1XmzYY
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.166Please respect copyright.PENANAUgEumVE6eR
166Please respect copyright.PENANAxlIyjjFdxd
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."166Please respect copyright.PENANAbijMvi8Vea
166Please respect copyright.PENANAulwK7NPOV5
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.166Please respect copyright.PENANAjsqVp20iKv
166Please respect copyright.PENANAuafrxASucs
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.166Please respect copyright.PENANAc42xpCYA1D
166Please respect copyright.PENANA4SKWjMQ80X
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."166Please respect copyright.PENANAmSC1jAFBFF
166Please respect copyright.PENANAMg9z8LKGn9
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"166Please respect copyright.PENANAzvahOGVmOu
166Please respect copyright.PENANAb1v3kcVsv5
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."166Please respect copyright.PENANA5qW8NG9jc0
166Please respect copyright.PENANA3leMvm5sGy
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"166Please respect copyright.PENANAJqg1lcNNpi
166Please respect copyright.PENANAE1R26qcA0a
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."166Please respect copyright.PENANAL2d6DybJS4
166Please respect copyright.PENANAq4sOLSquq1
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.166Please respect copyright.PENANAlLMjWUiLvL
166Please respect copyright.PENANAI1s9UW3NGY
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.166Please respect copyright.PENANA7yRkWcqeJz
166Please respect copyright.PENANAfrIvmityKy
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.166Please respect copyright.PENANAH7O1aPc8tR
166Please respect copyright.PENANASUSOnV35Rj
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.166Please respect copyright.PENANAavP9lkpVZu
166Please respect copyright.PENANAxviYAQTMvY
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.166Please respect copyright.PENANAinN7r4njX1
166Please respect copyright.PENANA62b5GA3OXC
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."166Please respect copyright.PENANArtdlgGKdGo
166Please respect copyright.PENANAWQnvUfXuqS
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.166Please respect copyright.PENANAPivU1vBMmB
166Please respect copyright.PENANA24ZzjAkzb9
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."166Please respect copyright.PENANAUdY4Rk4SJz
166Please respect copyright.PENANAj3d6UIvT1M
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.166Please respect copyright.PENANAepctU7XaJF
166Please respect copyright.PENANA4w2MvG2CN6
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."166Please respect copyright.PENANAFDiA0KGCKq
166Please respect copyright.PENANAKVl2rWvwM9
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
