The next day at school, Jun was trying to avoid Yuki as much as possible. He was still mortified by the previous day's events and couldn't bring himself to face her.274Please respect copyright.PENANAw3KRlBLhWr
274Please respect copyright.PENANA1m9Hu0p4PS
As he was walking through the hallway, he bumped into Aiko, a girl he'd only ever seen in passing. She was known for her eccentric style and her slightly unsettling obsession with Jun.274Please respect copyright.PENANAAuOZU2dNkB
274Please respect copyright.PENANA1E6hGPgZCB
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."274Please respect copyright.PENANAL5pXiuAvcH
274Please respect copyright.PENANAuyqpi7uABF
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"274Please respect copyright.PENANAZj1Ft80YvM
274Please respect copyright.PENANASMQFbsJVBT
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."274Please respect copyright.PENANAXb6wGzByGt
274Please respect copyright.PENANAAzPQN5mjvW
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.274Please respect copyright.PENANAJvjnPFbIDl
274Please respect copyright.PENANAFPxKFW00gq
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.274Please respect copyright.PENANAfyTebJbdz0
274Please respect copyright.PENANA8EryTVeewu
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."274Please respect copyright.PENANAvytzl97lDE
274Please respect copyright.PENANAgghc5lUqWw
Jun opened the box. Inside, he found a small, heart-shaped box of chocolate. But something about the chocolate looked... off. It had a strange, almost metallic sheen to it.274Please respect copyright.PENANAspFxl1L1GH
274Please respect copyright.PENANA5uP62Jcx0i
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.274Please respect copyright.PENANAss5algbU01
274Please respect copyright.PENANAuES3I3EgIc
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."274Please respect copyright.PENANAH7fFvI7LLu
274Please respect copyright.PENANA6qL6grbSkW
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"274Please respect copyright.PENANAh1VPKYiwdB
274Please respect copyright.PENANAo7zDlabKBH
Aiko leaned in close to Jun, her breath hot on his cheek. "I put a little bit of my blood in it," she whispered. "I wanted to give you a piece of my heart."274Please respect copyright.PENANAvFbEUqHdXk
274Please respect copyright.PENANAmXZj26Ta1q
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"274Please respect copyright.PENANAa2ivWPDNRc
274Please respect copyright.PENANAcqYnLMoIS4
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."274Please respect copyright.PENANAofHoyCiBCQ
274Please respect copyright.PENANAv6O0dAqdfy
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.274Please respect copyright.PENANAGfR8VMpbJa
274Please respect copyright.PENANAYQuVNaq4w2
He ran all the way to the library, where he could finally catch his breath. He was still shaking, his mind reeling from the encounter.274Please respect copyright.PENANAdIOk7v5muE
274Please respect copyright.PENANAHcQmvCxfWC
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.274Please respect copyright.PENANANvxjWHnxyg
274Please respect copyright.PENANAb04XSdolcq
Jun didn't know what to say. He couldn't tell her about Aiko's blood-infused chocolate. It was just too weird, too embarrassing.274Please respect copyright.PENANANH2s5fkyUe
274Please respect copyright.PENANAigWvyK4oaW
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.274Please respect copyright.PENANAAzbhlvd17d
274Please respect copyright.PENANA6fn02du0YV
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."274Please respect copyright.PENANArOXBacMRvU
274Please respect copyright.PENANA2ygJiOZIGy
Jun sighed. He knew he couldn't keep it from her any longer. He told her about Aiko's chocolate, about the metallic sheen, about the blood.274Please respect copyright.PENANAoTb9YX0U3m
274Please respect copyright.PENANA3rNmrGzbOj
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."274Please respect copyright.PENANA2JyptmxC8l
274Please respect copyright.PENANAfXZuLfzOXZ
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.274Please respect copyright.PENANAXgE0mfqVrP
274Please respect copyright.PENANACYPFEHbA95
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."274Please respect copyright.PENANAmLA5GBV19w
274Please respect copyright.PENANAzC2h7SOJLs
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
