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.315Please respect copyright.PENANA4jeJQmQNay

"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"315Please respect copyright.PENANAjjbiaUAvUw
315Please respect copyright.PENANAJCmeARjRrR
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.315Please respect copyright.PENANAc7gP7JPtw8
315Please respect copyright.PENANAQBMsBaaKLq
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.315Please respect copyright.PENANABR8ybxUOiy
315Please respect copyright.PENANAzOK1QDZDQt
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?"315Please respect copyright.PENANA2nPXZxFF7E
315Please respect copyright.PENANAOUc7mtGwHo
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.315Please respect copyright.PENANARklIjnPc9U
315Please respect copyright.PENANAnRF94CyjiX
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."315Please respect copyright.PENANAgkHDeQEcMg
315Please respect copyright.PENANALo5UoYtEFB
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."315Please respect copyright.PENANAvMuZYo8mY5
315Please respect copyright.PENANAEEtW14CFRF
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."315Please respect copyright.PENANAmIJR0hiHvf
315Please respect copyright.PENANA1vq8CL0S1Z
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.315Please respect copyright.PENANAEJOhA75cAW
315Please respect copyright.PENANA0YjhBkIqtO
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.315Please respect copyright.PENANAUbrXqKiaLz
315Please respect copyright.PENANAtCIKO47E5L
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.315Please respect copyright.PENANAuJpyiwMW0q
315Please respect copyright.PENANAEKUnIVSKoZ
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I thought maybe..."315Please respect copyright.PENANAV5t2SYLpA3
315Please respect copyright.PENANAzyu80lOAO1
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.315Please respect copyright.PENANAMpT4aluCWr
315Please respect copyright.PENANAUoxjNKgEw2
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.315Please respect copyright.PENANAmYT2YQ9Ppv
315Please respect copyright.PENANAzbf9LPi8Tm
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking. He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.315Please respect copyright.PENANAxeKasiJChh
315Please respect copyright.PENANAIKBfhZHxXY
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.315Please respect copyright.PENANAqCKb5sQFnt
315Please respect copyright.PENANA8tQy7aKR3R
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.315Please respect copyright.PENANA3fqTw8CVAQ
315Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6TN1EN2dx
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.315Please respect copyright.PENANACVOWU5N6Zs
315Please respect copyright.PENANAx8KbYZBBDY
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."315Please respect copyright.PENANAp2CddjhLWs
315Please respect copyright.PENANAn25jMMTSFA
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."315Please respect copyright.PENANAQCXR4u0gTk
315Please respect copyright.PENANAXGy8IQXyvU
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."315Please respect copyright.PENANAn3vztQjYbX
315Please respect copyright.PENANA8DNR3V0f7j
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."315Please respect copyright.PENANABTuTjmuyny
315Please respect copyright.PENANAcgztevMgLw
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."315Please respect copyright.PENANAensTIFleoM
315Please respect copyright.PENANAgjxQUqceoT
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.315Please respect copyright.PENANAxBxSfnFtOS
