"Yuki, I need to talk to you about something," Hana said, her voice serious.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6E98mMjn8
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbNGLrBjHy
Yuki raised an eyebrow. "What's up?"279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof7ztlS6Uj
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ7h40IHVe
Hana took a deep breath. "It's about Jun," she said. "He's been acting really strange lately, and I think something's wrong."279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoOU23XOqq
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05cdznQOaA
Yuki's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDWruYkigh
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvImEOiAF2S
Hana told Yuki about Aiko and the blood-infused chocolate. Yuki listened intently, her expression growing increasingly concerned.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGgc9wrGtD

"That's... that's crazy," Yuki said, shaking her head. "I can't believe someone would do that."279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzHUGQIsPt

"I know," Hana said. "Jun's really scared. He doesn't know what to do."279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkBhCyCbTu
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSoOTRXkAc
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.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIR87FIVnZ

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.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUBVpmqJeO

"Jun, can I talk to you?" Yuki asked, her voice soft.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRjTCHPmgY
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS2082JeCf
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.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIam7nzty5
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPlLjxGvfq
"Sure," he mumbled, looking down at his hands.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgUx05Bx6Q
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0d3vfNdNH
Yuki sat down across from him. "I heard about what happened with Aiko," she said. "I'm so sorry."279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblXwhroNcr
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPTAeBvEJx
Jun looked up at her, his eyes filled with surprise. "You know?" he asked.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ08roO6zPU
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPUOo3WOQV
Yuki nodded. "Hana told me. I'm really worried about you."279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJM9Rq75jV
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyTT5bcI0t
Jun felt a wave of relief wash over him. He wasn't alone. Yuki cared about him.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvovJN6VWlo

"I don't know what to do," Jun said, his voice trembling. "Aiko is really scary."279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6y42Qc316
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJEzJBhG98
Yuki smiled. "Don't worry," she said. "I'll help you."279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q0gUgRE4F
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMAg0Wb6CN
She reached out and took his hand. "We'll figure this out together."279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzE1rR8kh7

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.
