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.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUliKU91x8

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.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKVKQUJcuX
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJi0D2VvNw
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWddGPdKKq8
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRo2SNZm4k
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaFPLEKmQy
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxHK2CzOD6
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFoICGnp3y
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmbyHQY6vI
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvyg4ysyww
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfymseUeZB
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLqS8usMOF
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznb19Nb1LO
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1RThjYZe2
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZmMdgGA9N
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.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlkMlPVmsE
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzANqJcAoz
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPctV04aseU
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkzRMv3SEA
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBgg3iZuiN
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEE5aZovcw
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5L1oli9hv
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwNyCcb6fz
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."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3FW28SMZg
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAinfA7Wlh
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6vakjQqrH
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA7TOWzaXN
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJTWlwAwo9
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGFRxWU7Fp
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeClwJmzVf
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTyo4X88iN
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.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtksZx8UEWo
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbl2azU4nE
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja0HHTaNwh
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZBV7UNwSv
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.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5viqLqcIA2
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZsLUaZ3vA
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPmJH3eyjZ
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdD6iACnzG
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhcvZhTOoe
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHor6BkmsYP
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.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpS57S5fKL
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6aApuCt6Q
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N606Xl5kn
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5cayE8CQG
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC0TwPK6ur
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUiyxZDMSt
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPV2TDH9qZ
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Yyf9Gh7Kl
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
