Hana found Yuki in the cafeteria, surrounded by her usual group of friends. She waited until Yuki was alone before approaching her.256Please respect copyright.PENANAoWqWXyKWfT

"Yuki, I need to talk to you about something," Hana said, her voice serious.256Please respect copyright.PENANA8B5KgdUgqT
256Please respect copyright.PENANAVGcwD35d3P
Yuki raised an eyebrow. "What's up?"256Please respect copyright.PENANA5GsPMsge71
256Please respect copyright.PENANA1uj8GvvYxm
Hana took a deep breath. "It's about Jun," she said. "He's been acting really strange lately, and I think something's wrong."256Please respect copyright.PENANAw5HSurhRCq
256Please respect copyright.PENANAUgR3UkSDOg
Yuki's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"256Please respect copyright.PENANAHKZrP1ie2h
256Please respect copyright.PENANAU4anWK7qEF
Hana told Yuki about Aiko and the blood-infused chocolate. Yuki listened intently, her expression growing increasingly concerned.256Please respect copyright.PENANA1RChQwPWgI

"That's... that's crazy," Yuki said, shaking her head. "I can't believe someone would do that."256Please respect copyright.PENANABH3Ji7iggU

"I know," Hana said. "Jun's really scared. He doesn't know what to do."256Please respect copyright.PENANAuzDCPmMMJX
256Please respect copyright.PENANAzjBcEasLG9
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.256Please respect copyright.PENANAgMqhKWlRXS

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.256Please respect copyright.PENANAzmgAzKKq6E

"Jun, can I talk to you?" Yuki asked, her voice soft.256Please respect copyright.PENANA5LZwW3wpdW
256Please respect copyright.PENANAlUlq6bypM3
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.256Please respect copyright.PENANAzEbMjQ8EQo
256Please respect copyright.PENANABQeS0uAv9G
"Sure," he mumbled, looking down at his hands.256Please respect copyright.PENANAIxPhK46H6B
256Please respect copyright.PENANAHWs1YGWsKt
Yuki sat down across from him. "I heard about what happened with Aiko," she said. "I'm so sorry."256Please respect copyright.PENANAVjRPj1i19q

Jun looked up at her, his eyes filled with surprise. "You know?" he asked.256Please respect copyright.PENANAvTyDmjAh4t

Yuki nodded. "Hana told me. I'm really worried about you."256Please respect copyright.PENANAAAo52BDLY8
256Please respect copyright.PENANAhhzkbbz7Na
Jun felt a wave of relief wash over him. He wasn't alone. Yuki cared about him.256Please respect copyright.PENANAPWKMnyiyqx
256Please respect copyright.PENANAmJOJSNPjeF
"I don't know what to do," Jun said, his voice trembling. "Aiko is really scary."256Please respect copyright.PENANADt8NANoEls
256Please respect copyright.PENANARRcgrQtxL0
Yuki smiled. "Don't worry," she said. "I'll help you."256Please respect copyright.PENANAYbnWj4M6kw
256Please respect copyright.PENANAGzG4UVohpC
She reached out and took his hand. "We'll figure this out together."256Please respect copyright.PENANAAafu14x583

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.
