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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWQk84atFY
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FuNCZiQYF
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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZigBZvHofL
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKARV2XPN0N
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg42xz5Hmsl
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC2XtRuLsY
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9bYz9ia7t
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MuNRbxpWx
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq4ag8KpBq
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd4dJHfjMn
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXqYSHvBFG
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbaRDrlzfL
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLJostpPIl
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLmx70szvx
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvowh4yMOlf
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXC6ujADR5
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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVq7gjtlle
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U0f7Tt9v5
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDr0TC51Nq
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygIuiGI1xF
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VeN2UivQT
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6n6W7upI4
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3zifyIbVd
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0awFDsc2i
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."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyEqer3YHA
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRDLb9P1OT
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN42zkbzv3z
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETkPcZVDPI
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpQawTN0g9
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlE4O7ntzt
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZC4EvY9la
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6EKxZfMUN
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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOTdR3GwiL
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDrbD6Tyh1
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWidvKNXzX1
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9fKqUBoTh
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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuXt6qNLSr
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs3A5vwRRf
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf8H0fdFUi
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkT8ME8of0
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9jYnnMN9f
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZQdR56HkL
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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLPDRbuNrm
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5j7nBlkET
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE65ZHzVBca
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHafYNmx8WT
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJky7HB0PuQ
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB635XzNF5s
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEsMvlA9Vw
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Gm4aD76xC
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
