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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAY2Dk3ZU97D
189Please respect copyright.PENANArGqLoQ2F5C
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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAN99mldRW0U
189Please respect copyright.PENANAt77V5WuI4f
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."189Please respect copyright.PENANAo7WYP7qAe9
189Please respect copyright.PENANAMACy7hTRNw
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"189Please respect copyright.PENANACuT0V6vWtC
189Please respect copyright.PENANA6pz8JhIaNX
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."189Please respect copyright.PENANAz13p7baUxB
189Please respect copyright.PENANAjJ0ejL4B1C
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.189Please respect copyright.PENANAds67FGdv4z
189Please respect copyright.PENANAD8l7wfKHqs
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.189Please respect copyright.PENANARpIKI28BGA
189Please respect copyright.PENANAEJNNUaDFJ7
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."189Please respect copyright.PENANAuBe51KVs0O
189Please respect copyright.PENANAlVxHazJL63
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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAqVAV6JjJ6D
189Please respect copyright.PENANAIqTlhZfdb9
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.189Please respect copyright.PENANAQBuEypygkt
189Please respect copyright.PENANAvwnRFCei4Q
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."189Please respect copyright.PENANAoXUqEJYjG6
189Please respect copyright.PENANAO4nX0sCopR
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"189Please respect copyright.PENANAzHaTq1iELe
189Please respect copyright.PENANAASOK6qIYza
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."189Please respect copyright.PENANA7Pg0P5UiLA
189Please respect copyright.PENANAZN4d7LURk0
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"189Please respect copyright.PENANAAKRMS8OA5G
189Please respect copyright.PENANAtGvyxI9vyN
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."189Please respect copyright.PENANA8IkA5G8o8B
189Please respect copyright.PENANAOi5doKb7c7
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.189Please respect copyright.PENANArVX3aEvEeP
189Please respect copyright.PENANAChew7sgsNE
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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAiUY2LBbiU6
189Please respect copyright.PENANAYUi7XZVXtD
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.189Please respect copyright.PENANAbisTjgVrtx
189Please respect copyright.PENANAHKie95pPDS
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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAB7SfBYftNM
189Please respect copyright.PENANA2YbIcT3TDK
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.189Please respect copyright.PENANAitDmZbs2a3
189Please respect copyright.PENANAjDLT0b3wc7
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."189Please respect copyright.PENANAcaDKQi8kSz
189Please respect copyright.PENANAUIZzDREf3h
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.189Please respect copyright.PENANA0383pOqfrF
189Please respect copyright.PENANAwSQC6QVgmW
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."189Please respect copyright.PENANAuNECDIBqq8
189Please respect copyright.PENANAVg727UeWEa
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.189Please respect copyright.PENANAN9zCQQxeU6
189Please respect copyright.PENANAXYqgnfdzcO
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."189Please respect copyright.PENANA9NkVquge59
189Please respect copyright.PENANAKMHPUBLKGC
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
