The school bell rang, signaling the end of another grueling day. Jun, as usual, was the last one to leave the classroom, his nose buried in a book. He was so engrossed in his reading that he didn't notice Yuki standing in the doorway, watching him with a soft smile.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH69fJUMoM8
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr6JEqjKfN
"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oRK2UZqYg
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bxY8LeU9g
Jun's heart skipped a beat. Yuki, the school's most popular girl, was talking to him?  He quickly closed his book, his cheeks flushing red.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS8D1wWxip
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9Y4GqLNBb
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3wnTNhwgT
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr6ZZubz9b
Yuki took a deep breath. "I... I wanted to ask you something," she said, her eyes meeting his. "Would you... would you like to go out sometime?"253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43Ble0icwz
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEWeojf5DG
Jun's brain went blank.  He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Yuki, the girl of his dreams, had just asked him out on a date.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4TYBgziju
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM4b5aCJm9
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU70vjjJshs
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g6MiuXtRd
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEIKELOr4R
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpKTJkGLqm
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIPpF8iu2P
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwviDPUgqN
He couldn't finish his sentence.  He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXVa9DXQem
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMeLirm51q
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTkYFJJcel
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8csimYbvSy
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z2SCyTH0x
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ecehfqbFF
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.  I just... I thought maybe..."253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUywFYT0WTy
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvST110OCM
She trailed off, her eyes filled with disappointment. Jun felt a pang of guilt. He wanted to say something, anything, but the words wouldn't come.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h30QaGB2f
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDNB3AhaAX
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79TMDePO4C
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEcFVGjKqa
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking.  He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGohKMEker
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA6NoPLAXj
As Yuki walked away, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness.  She had been so nervous to ask him out, but she had finally worked up the courage.  And now, it seemed like it was all for nothing.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSCHZkZmMX
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdujN93GVb
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0Yp87cwDf
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIHMOZoV03
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEnzrqRiDo
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh24IJUHB6
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile.  "Just a little... misunderstanding."253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjN2kXXW0S
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPDUG6NIGz
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding?  You were practically blushing when you asked him out."253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedqC3x1Tml
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66ZdT997nD
Yuki sighed.  "I know, I know.  He just... he's a little shy.  But I'm not giving up on him."253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KJIueFbam
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdff7mbILs3
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaBMsoVlVI
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqVNil7PPo
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkQVfX7T2M
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLhOr52r6J
But deep down, she knew Hana was right.  She had a crush on Jun, and she wasn't going to let this one little misunderstanding stop her.  She was determined to win his heart, even if it meant facing her own fears and insecurities.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvxjntZZ9M
