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.319Please respect copyright.PENANAV9JcrMHdX7
319Please respect copyright.PENANArUEvEMp1D8
"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"319Please respect copyright.PENANAhEHbsUKaB5
319Please respect copyright.PENANAArVrsvDkTn
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.319Please respect copyright.PENANA3LfLeH85W4
319Please respect copyright.PENANA1bxdwB1xos
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.319Please respect copyright.PENANAfYWjxKiPFK
319Please respect copyright.PENANA7BddWaaaqP
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?"319Please respect copyright.PENANACPlRJPK9RU
319Please respect copyright.PENANAfTGBzcl4FN
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.319Please respect copyright.PENANAmKIXPRFTuZ
319Please respect copyright.PENANAYNtxvppAqQ
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."319Please respect copyright.PENANA2lJSWUbzTl
319Please respect copyright.PENANAsXVzgrsIsT
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."319Please respect copyright.PENANAX9LXtwjJcV
319Please respect copyright.PENANAOmm08MQHOj
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."319Please respect copyright.PENANAGS36Bc8AHG
319Please respect copyright.PENANArog98Kf8wP
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.319Please respect copyright.PENANALIpY9UNpL2
319Please respect copyright.PENANA00MdENPDep
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.319Please respect copyright.PENANAfT2lAInqLN
319Please respect copyright.PENANAsoy3Pk7eRa
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.319Please respect copyright.PENANA9brDueWcDp
319Please respect copyright.PENANA29BV9B7FAo
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I thought maybe..."319Please respect copyright.PENANAnu8jhwYRA6
319Please respect copyright.PENANAGe1QwaLK9X
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.319Please respect copyright.PENANAnU31DbnXiG
319Please respect copyright.PENANAxdPgmLUL2P
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.319Please respect copyright.PENANAMuUMy05KIs
319Please respect copyright.PENANAPWt4pcjWCI
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking. He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.319Please respect copyright.PENANAxNIsj20Lmv
319Please respect copyright.PENANAgvtTZpQSG3
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.319Please respect copyright.PENANAvmbpk3MA4D
319Please respect copyright.PENANAiRIqoZAMc9
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.319Please respect copyright.PENANADDFX0V6cGy
319Please respect copyright.PENANAuvhkCgaBod
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.319Please respect copyright.PENANAhUj7uT8zcy
319Please respect copyright.PENANAL2vWEkJc0r
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."319Please respect copyright.PENANAWbuIseJG9Z
319Please respect copyright.PENANAonamWqE2IB
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."319Please respect copyright.PENANA8LjhMzu30s
319Please respect copyright.PENANAjaZ9UgTsEd
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."319Please respect copyright.PENANAsxPomY31yc
319Please respect copyright.PENANACmvceI5ZnN
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."319Please respect copyright.PENANA151VCVaQ8F
319Please respect copyright.PENANAYuItLQjRUi
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."319Please respect copyright.PENANAzuyQ0hXMtR
319Please respect copyright.PENANANzrw28ovzp
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.319Please respect copyright.PENANAIvmnhT27HT
