"Yuki, I need to talk to you about something," Hana said, her voice serious.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UDfunE7Rk

Hana told Yuki about Aiko and the blood-infused chocolate. Yuki listened intently, her expression growing increasingly concerned.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCbNLe3Beg

"Jun, can I talk to you?" Yuki asked, her voice soft.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsaire0eRk
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcK8pplmMP
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.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9V4JoszBK
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1okoLaKge
"Sure," he mumbled, looking down at his hands.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3HLUrohmU
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2SWJhaj1O
Yuki sat down across from him. "I heard about what happened with Aiko," she said. "I'm so sorry."246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReSg5nVAZ4

"I don't know what to do," Jun said, his voice trembling. "Aiko is really scary."246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqBDyDsrUr

Yuki smiled. "Don't worry," she said. "I'll help you."246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus0IBgwSlW

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.
