The school bell rang, signaling the end of another grueling day. Jun, as usual, was the last one to leave the classroom, his nose buried in a book. He was so engrossed in his reading that he didn't notice Yuki standing in the doorway, watching him with a soft smile.242Please respect copyright.PENANARH2Gq53l33
242Please respect copyright.PENANAR5T1y0pYoj
"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"242Please respect copyright.PENANAFtjmXL9gmM
242Please respect copyright.PENANAIx8l3QqmEa
Jun's heart skipped a beat. Yuki, the school's most popular girl, was talking to him? He quickly closed his book, his cheeks flushing red.242Please respect copyright.PENANAY2bjapsf0c
242Please respect copyright.PENANAXoFpXslB4T
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.242Please respect copyright.PENANAXwep4ctcsK
242Please respect copyright.PENANAytvaMucFYP
Yuki took a deep breath. "I... I wanted to ask you something," she said, her eyes meeting his. "Would you... would you like to go out sometime?"242Please respect copyright.PENANASsHtYgCnXV
242Please respect copyright.PENANA9sLrkt97N5
Jun's brain went blank. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Yuki, the girl of his dreams, had just asked him out on a date.242Please respect copyright.PENANAiOArbRvaPK
242Please respect copyright.PENANA4vMX9mHbj6
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."242Please respect copyright.PENANAIL6viJDTcA
242Please respect copyright.PENANA6DNlEG4WTe
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."242Please respect copyright.PENANAforyYHvtLl
242Please respect copyright.PENANAEk7BpPjG5E
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."242Please respect copyright.PENANANRnCYwMgQZ
242Please respect copyright.PENANAcM80cLpDuo
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.242Please respect copyright.PENANAH3hsSAmg1Y
242Please respect copyright.PENANAEoGtzIqun1
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.242Please respect copyright.PENANA2uGCEPXOcB
242Please respect copyright.PENANALoGGveEkT6
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.242Please respect copyright.PENANAlUaprr4QoW
242Please respect copyright.PENANAj19pAI4dXf
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I thought maybe..."242Please respect copyright.PENANAOrGp5jiRXG
242Please respect copyright.PENANAoeJjPbth83
She trailed off, her eyes filled with disappointment. Jun felt a pang of guilt. He wanted to say something, anything, but the words wouldn't come.242Please respect copyright.PENANAKpGSYF1Dyt
242Please respect copyright.PENANAru7iHnOiGQ
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.242Please respect copyright.PENANA1DywUJXnYJ
242Please respect copyright.PENANAraiW8Xps3q
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking. He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.242Please respect copyright.PENANAvaMq7TIwcV
242Please respect copyright.PENANAyXMXal4S4B
As Yuki walked away, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness. She had been so nervous to ask him out, but she had finally worked up the courage. And now, it seemed like it was all for nothing.242Please respect copyright.PENANAIbRkjUUcr9
242Please respect copyright.PENANAQaqg5ibaCV
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.242Please respect copyright.PENANAUwrg3ii1JB
242Please respect copyright.PENANAgmbA8D7hXG
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.242Please respect copyright.PENANAknAh6L3rET
242Please respect copyright.PENANAYbHUYczRnh
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."242Please respect copyright.PENANA0uThhg4vDD
242Please respect copyright.PENANAfCOh1dZ1Ma
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."242Please respect copyright.PENANAGMVjx2GVJZ
242Please respect copyright.PENANAeKd5EzKLGS
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."242Please respect copyright.PENANASbkh7HD5sx
242Please respect copyright.PENANAFUIIzPU5CI
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."242Please respect copyright.PENANA7hSZjSTItB
242Please respect copyright.PENANAxuXAOzpfjV
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."242Please respect copyright.PENANAEW3aYzLOKJ
242Please respect copyright.PENANAPtacreRkVE
But deep down, she knew Hana was right. She had a crush on Jun, and she wasn't going to let this one little misunderstanding stop her. She was determined to win his heart, even if it meant facing her own fears and insecurities.242Please respect copyright.PENANAh3vBmItZ2c
