The festival was in full swing, and the courtyard was buzzing with activity. Jun and Yuki were busy manning their class booth, selling homemade crafts and snacks. They were having a blast, laughing and joking with their classmates, and enjoying the festive atmosphere.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCZYxcc7lT

Jun was feeling a little more confident now, thanks to Yuki's unwavering support. He was even starting to enjoy the attention he was getting from other girls. But he knew that he only had eyes for Yuki.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pMzKcbVjm

As the night wore on, Jun noticed that Aiko was watching them from across the courtyard. Her eyes were fixed on him, and she had a dark, brooding expression on her face. He felt a shiver run down his spine. He knew she wouldn't let him forget about her.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0ueKf53Si
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUwKAescgU
"Yuki," he whispered, his voice a little shaky. "I think Aiko is watching us."270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6zHFn3Ah9
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLLCDKHOUL
Yuki followed his gaze and saw Aiko standing alone in the shadows. Her eyes were fixed on them, and she had a menacing look on her face.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2pDdp4Osy
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBnWLmuzeA
"Don't worry, Jun," Yuki said, her voice firm. "She can't hurt us."270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUUGk8R4Qs
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCUTYrXLsP
But Jun couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. He felt a sense of dread creeping over him.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhVc1iysKG
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD7G0abOTU
As they were packing up their booth, Jun noticed that Aiko was walking towards them. Her eyes were fixed on him, and she had a determined look on her face.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCh2aQztmD
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpopECL6La
"Jun," she said, her voice low and menacing. "I have something for you."270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ5tI4eF3f
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gIdDz0NrS
She reached into her bag and pulled out a small, intricately carved wooden box. It was beautiful, but something about it made Jun uneasy.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJU9fCHkIv
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0yopb9YKO
"What is it?" he asked, his voice hesitant.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NiPm9C1Ab
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymxNzOeHHc
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "It's a gift," she said. "I hope you like it."270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngXcTjIL67
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zRGiaYfsO
She handed him the box, and Jun hesitated for a moment before taking it. He felt a sense of dread creeping over him.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U4CglCLxX
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww8WtYeZwc
"Thanks, Aiko," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "But I don't think I can accept it."270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQBlGi9cV3
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdqFozAs2Z
Aiko's smile faltered. "Why not?" she asked, her voice tinged with hurt.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdS8jCPxT3
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxVoM1MTVS
"I... I don't want to make things awkward," Jun said, trying to find the right words. "I'm happy with Yuki."270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo94mHMG23M
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNVOc3QHHA
Aiko's eyes narrowed. "You're happy with her?" she asked, her voice laced with bitterness. "But she doesn't love you the way I do."270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuCSQHy4EA
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXuyGplpT3
Jun felt a pang of guilt. He knew Aiko was obsessed with him, but he couldn't help but feel a little flattered by her attention.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh73AsFCAm
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTl51O71ho
"I appreciate your feelings, Aiko," he said, trying to be kind. "But I'm happy with Yuki."270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTOj3rNRdk
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOsf5a6cXR
Aiko turned and walked away, her shoulders slumped with defeat. Jun watched her go, his heart heavy with guilt. He didn't want to hurt her feelings, but he knew he had to be honest with himself. He was in love with Yuki, and he couldn't imagine being with anyone else.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL2x5wRPJE
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS9po4h2qI
As Jun turned to face Yuki, he noticed that she was staring at the box in his hand with a look of concern.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4s3EHmPVV
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhjUxCAfXy
"What is it, Jun?" she asked, her voice soft. "What did Aiko give you?"270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vrxhhjg3q
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf9XogwZfS
Jun hesitated for a moment before handing her the box.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6BarfhgL2
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy6jA8c5iJ
"I don't know," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "She just said it was a gift."270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nhj2C53wM
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17shkUmg7Y
Yuki took the box and opened it. Inside, she found a small, intricately carved wooden doll. It was beautiful, but something about it made her uneasy.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrfyjMbngL
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkhDHnwRAG
"This is... this is strange," she said, her voice a little shaky. "I don't think we should keep it."270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sSUrsMAtM
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eM7uZGu8K
As she spoke, she noticed a faint, sweet scent emanating from the doll. It was a familiar scent, one she had smelled before. It was the scent of blood.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6nSZgknNH
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2ba5YKZPO
Yuki's eyes widened in horror. She realized what Aiko had done. She had poisoned the doll with her own blood, hoping to use it to harm Jun.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvhS5JaRzz
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJz5r5NCLi
"Jun," she said, her voice urgent. "We need to get out of here."270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRa9pOo6qT
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFe9FrboVy
She grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the booth. They ran through the crowded courtyard, their hearts pounding in their chests.
