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.155Please respect copyright.PENANAB5ihiRWRBN
155Please respect copyright.PENANAfcLGJyP998
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.155Please respect copyright.PENANAc7SjK9ib1s
155Please respect copyright.PENANACfsAm777ty
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."155Please respect copyright.PENANA5JLgl6JK0J
155Please respect copyright.PENANAu9owNmEBQ8
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"155Please respect copyright.PENANA2JFKGo6UgW
155Please respect copyright.PENANAFkEvgUk48j
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."155Please respect copyright.PENANASzxNcAQFJo
155Please respect copyright.PENANAVPiRETavoM
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.155Please respect copyright.PENANA4rkn4M7fOX
155Please respect copyright.PENANAqMEQcgdCcj
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.155Please respect copyright.PENANADwFierxwaH
155Please respect copyright.PENANA6sQ2ezjvCC
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."155Please respect copyright.PENANAdg13PUgDFN
155Please respect copyright.PENANAtaoNbrFk1a
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.155Please respect copyright.PENANAMzn33aQKpd
155Please respect copyright.PENANAn2qx8OAWWr
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.155Please respect copyright.PENANAFXHxUJwg0E
155Please respect copyright.PENANA44D4oE458b
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."155Please respect copyright.PENANA1HoO6HVSuA
155Please respect copyright.PENANA9lIbrOqJ0i
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"155Please respect copyright.PENANA9BPrkvc3um
155Please respect copyright.PENANAAtJuzjq3b4
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."155Please respect copyright.PENANAWxqnCQLNVh
155Please respect copyright.PENANAmpO6BcQSkr
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"155Please respect copyright.PENANA6hzPv9O1R3
155Please respect copyright.PENANA1MfomPvrvy
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."155Please respect copyright.PENANAw3vRvAyxZY
155Please respect copyright.PENANAqo3N9MEric
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.155Please respect copyright.PENANAUVisTTnhGr
155Please respect copyright.PENANAOz2c6uNXiP
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.155Please respect copyright.PENANA0FjzOHcLMp
155Please respect copyright.PENANAqwneChhnfM
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.155Please respect copyright.PENANA1jXrAV2VTe
155Please respect copyright.PENANAPi24f4ObDL
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.155Please respect copyright.PENANACMYTCFsLzT
155Please respect copyright.PENANAX2QDrSoT3E
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.155Please respect copyright.PENANAVz8eQHmhdk
155Please respect copyright.PENANAeFdDm7SGJj
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."155Please respect copyright.PENANAFSOA8QchBD
155Please respect copyright.PENANAMlG1zxJxtB
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.155Please respect copyright.PENANAPLB3X4JZxP
155Please respect copyright.PENANAWdexldt637
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."155Please respect copyright.PENANAjg3UHJEVRU
155Please respect copyright.PENANAWHT7wZnZrS
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.155Please respect copyright.PENANAgWikl1imos
155Please respect copyright.PENANAik7AcwtHCQ
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."155Please respect copyright.PENANAifXA1M6RUH
155Please respect copyright.PENANAPTwQhwdOng
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
