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.318Please respect copyright.PENANAn0ewRoCOUn

"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"318Please respect copyright.PENANAfKdiaP1YbW
318Please respect copyright.PENANAPZw0GpRvKb
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.318Please respect copyright.PENANAXpHxh5X9Fc
318Please respect copyright.PENANAExIykRVdip
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.318Please respect copyright.PENANAUXXSb31c1s
318Please respect copyright.PENANAmzEhZGu3da
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?"318Please respect copyright.PENANA9EX21Mtgkm
318Please respect copyright.PENANAPe3kCewIMr
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.318Please respect copyright.PENANApOAqoI5FXI
318Please respect copyright.PENANAiFN3ZtR2Hq
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."318Please respect copyright.PENANAQS3kpnM4xz
318Please respect copyright.PENANAOGVhqaN7hm
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."318Please respect copyright.PENANAqUaPkLaoPV
318Please respect copyright.PENANALZcu9HLI5Y
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."318Please respect copyright.PENANAQAeO2K8A7D
318Please respect copyright.PENANA2gcgvEeKxT
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.318Please respect copyright.PENANAklWaTeIDpT
318Please respect copyright.PENANAHSEjGJ2qfT
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.318Please respect copyright.PENANAKYlXSMZxcr
318Please respect copyright.PENANALWfSpFvPN1
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.318Please respect copyright.PENANAQdvMk5Vijy
318Please respect copyright.PENANA27t19Bpe0X
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I thought maybe..."318Please respect copyright.PENANAHPSyVFNJYj
318Please respect copyright.PENANAqVKiIAfwRW
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.318Please respect copyright.PENANAvgRr8YMjkK
318Please respect copyright.PENANA0O2NsbLGXk
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.318Please respect copyright.PENANAxJi1MKmCKU
318Please respect copyright.PENANAfcsdqA7h9Q
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking. He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.318Please respect copyright.PENANA9rzasJNadR
318Please respect copyright.PENANA78Vv9zRLLy
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.318Please respect copyright.PENANACgb2BYXjkl
318Please respect copyright.PENANAaMBppn7jst
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.318Please respect copyright.PENANAwYyVWz35jo
318Please respect copyright.PENANAm0is7HAM22
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.318Please respect copyright.PENANAz93LVGYKxC
318Please respect copyright.PENANA1NSXliqQWl
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."318Please respect copyright.PENANARSWbPFUpLn
318Please respect copyright.PENANAtlHHkzIPGX
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."318Please respect copyright.PENANAD8ONUsjVDu
318Please respect copyright.PENANAtosj9srt1b
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."318Please respect copyright.PENANA33TP6MrTqL
318Please respect copyright.PENANAXm4yHEQ5aM
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."318Please respect copyright.PENANA916qvyoGS1
318Please respect copyright.PENANAho2LLihn1I
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."318Please respect copyright.PENANAIcIsLxsIyC
318Please respect copyright.PENANA9XERzPjMXy
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.318Please respect copyright.PENANAWli75gvPhC
