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.196Please respect copyright.PENANANZYbcgtK5L
196Please respect copyright.PENANAcsEzx2oDDs
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAiU3fe3HSHG
196Please respect copyright.PENANAfBgkT8dsox
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."196Please respect copyright.PENANAOQOUOKMHzl
196Please respect copyright.PENANAtfrG9PCcJq
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"196Please respect copyright.PENANAigG12Sdtzo
196Please respect copyright.PENANAuJP1Bths9x
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."196Please respect copyright.PENANA3rP2fAIMkx
196Please respect copyright.PENANAfr5XmQC9UK
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.196Please respect copyright.PENANAf51h2ka8jx
196Please respect copyright.PENANAhUEJ3WUXDY
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.196Please respect copyright.PENANAyqYYxezDCs
196Please respect copyright.PENANAUnC8doZIDM
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."196Please respect copyright.PENANAuJDGL8EQYe
196Please respect copyright.PENANAxzRkhwZH6w
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAKqDBHIp9yq
196Please respect copyright.PENANALmy9UAT2o0
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.196Please respect copyright.PENANArXxsnmw9mS
196Please respect copyright.PENANAV2UVLcMwiu
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."196Please respect copyright.PENANAm5rhMBtx16
196Please respect copyright.PENANA2IAZ5m9k2O
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"196Please respect copyright.PENANAi89HjhLrc6
196Please respect copyright.PENANAh2ywefCWcc
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."196Please respect copyright.PENANAIiWMdlolim
196Please respect copyright.PENANAKxVafHhFZQ
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"196Please respect copyright.PENANAX1zgIt30A8
196Please respect copyright.PENANANgVTvKtvVb
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."196Please respect copyright.PENANAIH7I8qa5A8
196Please respect copyright.PENANACPu7gEo7yd
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.196Please respect copyright.PENANAbioweFzNEw
196Please respect copyright.PENANAT4p3RvVzGF
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAllqxxfviPg
196Please respect copyright.PENANAjMigIvUfwl
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.196Please respect copyright.PENANAUZWTc9jdUF
196Please respect copyright.PENANAwHMORFUpcW
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAjeN6XhT0nq
196Please respect copyright.PENANA9eDGQnX1hN
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.196Please respect copyright.PENANAUiOXqjph80
196Please respect copyright.PENANAFvGcu43YON
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."196Please respect copyright.PENANAMbkCpFMN1W
196Please respect copyright.PENANAkg8SP5i7V1
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAVcfTxej7LM
196Please respect copyright.PENANAWkwNNLzYpo
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."196Please respect copyright.PENANAtQLaDdsIuB
196Please respect copyright.PENANAx3Aw9O2PPt
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.196Please respect copyright.PENANAP1LmstHnnn
196Please respect copyright.PENANAKHDMwXtCbd
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."196Please respect copyright.PENANA5hwtk32Jcw
196Please respect copyright.PENANANhW6rQb2o4
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
