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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLDx9JbRaz
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMZDpN7hQY
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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXbXP9wIXU
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59DjlaXnza
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6xa7U6Nu0
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgEryvKuDo
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWm9XAfzYT
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZhB8ZWbP7
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYJbNGhq6t
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoiMUyZSyf
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRUmgKR1Lb
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfShPLRFf7
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wY8NJgf4u
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PvdsjqYb8
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPkDGNjeRm
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06zRxLxtzJ
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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuAVltuJc9
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcxB47yKdA
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqHQh6FYfE
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMMPspDWj5
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncJYVkdKX0
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV01XKjxwnU
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vW6Ax5iBc
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wQtXR2I3i
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."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL99r2rnCu
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTCuWlRJ1Z
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sMGYgDL8h
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55TRuXDdxS
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIcKFPa6YD
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlXwJNAGMQ
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBUtr3VVS4
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHKgEGXuM8
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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0f4owXZBF
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSk8IjF1Yt
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCsNvMfCJe
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4XxRXMBsV
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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gCYoZF2q8
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiwbBPfXJ6
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09yXNWhsQ1
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOL5d6YGbU
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0cSpMkxWk
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyrAmdgDs8
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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkIkZzpLWw
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJbvc15Kwz
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MoISnU8cJ
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3pTYWj0Fi
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGZa8YcqGx
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauIOp1nL1s
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZBuurQWcd
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCEylvovab
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
