"Yuki, I need to talk to you about something," Hana said, her voice serious.164Please respect copyright.PENANAM0nNzL9QKb
164Please respect copyright.PENANA1dGjrJVIig
Yuki raised an eyebrow. "What's up?"164Please respect copyright.PENANA0uwwaHkbV8
164Please respect copyright.PENANADmHBmm43di
Hana took a deep breath. "It's about Jun," she said. "He's been acting really strange lately, and I think something's wrong."164Please respect copyright.PENANAtJ445nRrOt
164Please respect copyright.PENANAfD0YExCQqV
Yuki's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"164Please respect copyright.PENANAhMQ7dY7bhW
164Please respect copyright.PENANAueOxOKDNYE
Hana told Yuki about Aiko and the blood-infused chocolate. Yuki listened intently, her expression growing increasingly concerned.164Please respect copyright.PENANAMWaYZoqomH

"That's... that's crazy," Yuki said, shaking her head. "I can't believe someone would do that."164Please respect copyright.PENANAaKFiiqRo02
164Please respect copyright.PENANAxBZsQz6j13
"I know," Hana said. "Jun's really scared. He doesn't know what to do."164Please respect copyright.PENANAInixzA1HsL
164Please respect copyright.PENANACLKcnU6ldR
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.164Please respect copyright.PENANAFslxp4lnCp
164Please respect copyright.PENANAiwk48BZOqG
"I'm going to talk to Jun," Yuki said, her voice firm. "He needs to know that he's not alone."164Please respect copyright.PENANAWqX0OcnkSZ

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.164Please respect copyright.PENANA9QFR246LjM

"Jun, can I talk to you?" Yuki asked, her voice soft.164Please respect copyright.PENANAZOzLHrQ773
164Please respect copyright.PENANA6OrvM1hsYj
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.164Please respect copyright.PENANAhzh5Cngo9a
164Please respect copyright.PENANA8YSzJKhRbr
"Sure," he mumbled, looking down at his hands.164Please respect copyright.PENANAXeSN5CH4Bb
164Please respect copyright.PENANA0wv9pNuyy2
Yuki sat down across from him. "I heard about what happened with Aiko," she said. "I'm so sorry."164Please respect copyright.PENANA8Yf30wJmD3
164Please respect copyright.PENANA7IZtD1AhFJ
Jun looked up at her, his eyes filled with surprise. "You know?" he asked.164Please respect copyright.PENANAWEXqIRvRjB

Yuki nodded. "Hana told me. I'm really worried about you."164Please respect copyright.PENANA23dkpDAv9D
164Please respect copyright.PENANANBBVUqZTiL
Jun felt a wave of relief wash over him. He wasn't alone. Yuki cared about him.164Please respect copyright.PENANAgVGSkYsAJ5
164Please respect copyright.PENANAjBHqDk9ySj
"I don't know what to do," Jun said, his voice trembling. "Aiko is really scary."164Please respect copyright.PENANAZtekjH9mFT
164Please respect copyright.PENANAGk4CpXIy06
Yuki smiled. "Don't worry," she said. "I'll help you."164Please respect copyright.PENANA9i433DF5Ce
164Please respect copyright.PENANAGpfPkuWcEU
She reached out and took his hand. "We'll figure this out together."164Please respect copyright.PENANACwxruUHbc4

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.
