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.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvygFtC4CZb

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.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGuhZTijxb

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.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2QfMxgPuo
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaknDgwSmH
"Yuki," he whispered, his voice a little shaky. "I think Aiko is watching us."200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOF1cVw9Y5
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwOvzxm0KY
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.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2oRjXsvPP
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb6oCnGdlu
"Don't worry, Jun," Yuki said, her voice firm. "She can't hurt us."200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSzNl0uM4n
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA6uuAUgLH
But Jun couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. He felt a sense of dread creeping over him.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEORlBJnp9
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0d1uULEhd
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.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2xFuz4Iwv
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH7YdcnG44
"Jun," she said, her voice low and menacing. "I have something for you."200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyCOXVuZse
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxbeU6VrYe
She reached into her bag and pulled out a small, intricately carved wooden box. It was beautiful, but something about it made Jun uneasy.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxeT4Zy7ux
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6KiraDbrG
"What is it?" he asked, his voice hesitant.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf9qQi9kZ8
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflW2vG2K3w
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "It's a gift," she said. "I hope you like it."200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk0h6v7Tjk
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLYbr2xIpE
She handed him the box, and Jun hesitated for a moment before taking it. He felt a sense of dread creeping over him.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeeahsM7Up
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgXVD0LsMs
"Thanks, Aiko," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "But I don't think I can accept it."200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aNitGYDuN
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbzgHKeb98
Aiko's smile faltered. "Why not?" she asked, her voice tinged with hurt.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLfpmfSggR
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxuqKBBDvc
"I... I don't want to make things awkward," Jun said, trying to find the right words. "I'm happy with Yuki."200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbBDIWzcJL
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vEYGfRyuI
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."200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXqSfS7Y9f
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzqtkkuaOH
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.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyWDe3NTjY
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj7rPHYtHf
"I appreciate your feelings, Aiko," he said, trying to be kind. "But I'm happy with Yuki."200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2lU04tEP2
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZx3xuvpXP
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.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCP8Sl0bxd
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeYfcPQhjW
As Jun turned to face Yuki, he noticed that she was staring at the box in his hand with a look of concern.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXzeOzbeNe
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LeIy459Rv
"What is it, Jun?" she asked, her voice soft. "What did Aiko give you?"200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWPHonSRb1
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TukaDHWbA
Jun hesitated for a moment before handing her the box.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzle9Jvs6B0
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCLuBoZFaT
"I don't know," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "She just said it was a gift."200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKbjdKjOyR
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXshfmDpNf8
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.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLGECftIes
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3u5SQB78X
"This is... this is strange," she said, her voice a little shaky. "I don't think we should keep it."200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtreM34IOP
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlhhtSCkDl
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.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk4RpTaAuu
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KkSxatmDx
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.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeDiGhFAPu
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95pUQvmVH3
"Jun," she said, her voice urgent. "We need to get out of here."200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePr9DxJZoy
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnWFrSRu4G
She grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the booth. They ran through the crowded courtyard, their hearts pounding in their chests.
