The next day at school, Jun was trying to avoid Yuki as much as possible. He was still mortified by the previous day's events and couldn't bring himself to face her.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQYoqEVv73
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKOmwSxuZn
As he was walking through the hallway, he bumped into Aiko, a girl he'd only ever seen in passing. She was known for her eccentric style and her slightly unsettling obsession with Jun.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8PWr35dug
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjqaNrIaSQ
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftEKqcEu3G
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8lcz73ezo
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE7VA4rooA
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyenN3AzJ3
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FD8IxGzNX
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBm3vK5h3r
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfObYvKiWY
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkL36Fo99W
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSWU9NqTQ5
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPYFZ7bO6T
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcCvfgOZqk
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIAMbiakcU
Jun opened the box. Inside, he found a small, heart-shaped box of chocolate. But something about the chocolate looked... off. It had a strange, almost metallic sheen to it.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1A0gO4hGe
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSezBAxFdoa
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW41V1aLdB
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnmDex5swx
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP17WpfbozG
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGc0XulCCX
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUt4gKWQot
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfDAWIB1XX
Aiko leaned in close to Jun, her breath hot on his cheek. "I put a little bit of my blood in it," she whispered. "I wanted to give you a piece of my heart."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONK3tRPcfQ
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm6f1JalSe
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcvEU2jq0b
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYTvEEhuZV
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8COslHEns
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FBP5U7DcB
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWnLoRc2md
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6LJqbHI3P
He ran all the way to the library, where he could finally catch his breath. He was still shaking, his mind reeling from the encounter.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGa6AycODw
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7mdNaoUWE
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp05ggzfsJh
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTqLZBeVKF
Jun didn't know what to say. He couldn't tell her about Aiko's blood-infused chocolate. It was just too weird, too embarrassing.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVkbccQiYT
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfgz7upLfd
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvED9hDiFQr
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtJjl8M6k6
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqlDFJEXQh
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0UPlSbw1G
Jun sighed. He knew he couldn't keep it from her any longer. He told her about Aiko's chocolate, about the metallic sheen, about the blood.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXhvWQdlVQ
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjksd7hYfDk
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXDUlgD2rP
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID61ODKbSw
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8CZ85wlZR
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DlFThmXD1
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0anByu2hS2
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThI8CeSeOc
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
