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.140Please respect copyright.PENANAcbzSgV5gkO
140Please respect copyright.PENANAuPENRceOuZ
"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"140Please respect copyright.PENANAbOMg07q8AN
140Please respect copyright.PENANAggZw5qXLKL
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.140Please respect copyright.PENANA2TpVlV4Q0X
140Please respect copyright.PENANAXQghFaBJUA
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.140Please respect copyright.PENANATgZdpZ8ftB
140Please respect copyright.PENANAe2Z9Oe9AfC
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?"140Please respect copyright.PENANADJ34Dap1Cc
140Please respect copyright.PENANAAYMkVQ0iHt
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.140Please respect copyright.PENANAwBzFHleE49
140Please respect copyright.PENANAoAsevcJTxq
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."140Please respect copyright.PENANA5ppnxbAbRJ
140Please respect copyright.PENANAAzudf1qhYx
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."140Please respect copyright.PENANA1UYNN333EM
140Please respect copyright.PENANAphtMxYMWGa
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."140Please respect copyright.PENANAoaamOD27kM
140Please respect copyright.PENANAcBe4W19SpB
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.140Please respect copyright.PENANAZNqVs5aQkj
140Please respect copyright.PENANA4GbrNG2eYw
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.140Please respect copyright.PENANANHcX8JwT95
140Please respect copyright.PENANAxvo3yYz1LS
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.140Please respect copyright.PENANAmd2d4leo15
140Please respect copyright.PENANARmhbgmqqSy
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I thought maybe..."140Please respect copyright.PENANAoCTwHPUpy8
140Please respect copyright.PENANA9BS1rkBZTB
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.140Please respect copyright.PENANA4cB1vLI4tE
140Please respect copyright.PENANAj5PsLsYMeN
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.140Please respect copyright.PENANAoFOvPZy1rM
140Please respect copyright.PENANA2xO1aogYPF
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking. He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.140Please respect copyright.PENANAGME4aKcwpt
140Please respect copyright.PENANACthhI1ry5s
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.140Please respect copyright.PENANAFw1isyYB8r
140Please respect copyright.PENANAgoB4UfTrzA
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.140Please respect copyright.PENANA9ycR8pE4g9
140Please respect copyright.PENANACxqfl6oAN4
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.140Please respect copyright.PENANARJRbs2kEnK
140Please respect copyright.PENANA1k6sNQonTR
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."140Please respect copyright.PENANAKVTlJ0DDFt
140Please respect copyright.PENANAzXcwvSBcrN
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."140Please respect copyright.PENANAghJ6BNovKX
140Please respect copyright.PENANABltcS78NPN
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."140Please respect copyright.PENANAtWxTS4ffik
140Please respect copyright.PENANAmKtpsAPpvs
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."140Please respect copyright.PENANApEbAB0RmiH
140Please respect copyright.PENANAL43MSaoiuO
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."140Please respect copyright.PENANAB5yYE6F6cI
140Please respect copyright.PENANAZaGMVqb2D6
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.140Please respect copyright.PENANA535fgPJfHm
