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.288Please respect copyright.PENANA5pFEaNeuGf

"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"288Please respect copyright.PENANANn4K47KwtC
288Please respect copyright.PENANAXDP5SrKq2M
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.288Please respect copyright.PENANAlAFAGwQeDu
288Please respect copyright.PENANAj30QxyJ8IT
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.288Please respect copyright.PENANAG4IWd8oKzt
288Please respect copyright.PENANAkEDVBzd8E4
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?"288Please respect copyright.PENANA5Vf4DLO5aU
288Please respect copyright.PENANAXL6cO45tDj
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.288Please respect copyright.PENANAZAPvDmG83L
288Please respect copyright.PENANAx6jUtPi1UN
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."288Please respect copyright.PENANAOVEVvcy26R
288Please respect copyright.PENANArYVvF2Jgqs
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."288Please respect copyright.PENANAVXWDpTCYlb
288Please respect copyright.PENANAff2iPdbISw
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."288Please respect copyright.PENANA9GvdAJpDSF
288Please respect copyright.PENANAN6UduEwNii
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.288Please respect copyright.PENANAlabEw8E7BI
288Please respect copyright.PENANAjnHiAoDUba
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.288Please respect copyright.PENANA2YXuEihRiD
288Please respect copyright.PENANAbgI02AAvTR
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.288Please respect copyright.PENANA9e0tCwtXuI
288Please respect copyright.PENANAguU66uZZSG
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I thought maybe..."288Please respect copyright.PENANAIyyGbBDlJ4
288Please respect copyright.PENANAkYwx53SAyx
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.288Please respect copyright.PENANAaEC6qYmFkV
288Please respect copyright.PENANADVyntnW2LT
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.288Please respect copyright.PENANAg4nweWcD6n
288Please respect copyright.PENANAxOOk2AdyAC
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking. He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.288Please respect copyright.PENANA7VcRzgDzdF
288Please respect copyright.PENANAwGdEGhu5Qa
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.288Please respect copyright.PENANAj0Xz3HWufV
288Please respect copyright.PENANAEfRjQ0kLgP
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.288Please respect copyright.PENANAmlNGfqzQfx
288Please respect copyright.PENANAb3lU2nllbx
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.288Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4sdbC7ROW
288Please respect copyright.PENANAmf7FoZHaWx
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."288Please respect copyright.PENANAdjINBQZjBt
288Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZwOWBlUEo
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."288Please respect copyright.PENANAs1XXbiMytJ
288Please respect copyright.PENANAKI1Uo5HMdP
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."288Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z2kFUCKxe
288Please respect copyright.PENANAtgbGl3Eu8o
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."288Please respect copyright.PENANAP7G66ABAGF
288Please respect copyright.PENANAYWHaK1ZYow
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."288Please respect copyright.PENANAMTYSEOG7wg
288Please respect copyright.PENANA92PkHmzg3y
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.288Please respect copyright.PENANAH3ybPCJ5ke
