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.109Please respect copyright.PENANA2cJ2ygeb4y
109Please respect copyright.PENANA1p1mnkdzJC
"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"109Please respect copyright.PENANA9xBpIwWsPy
109Please respect copyright.PENANAQAlyJGlagE
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.109Please respect copyright.PENANAepFi2inWJ6
109Please respect copyright.PENANAplUUxggpL3
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.109Please respect copyright.PENANATDa71jIkaL
109Please respect copyright.PENANAOQR0kog8Rd
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?"109Please respect copyright.PENANAEE8tp0YoMY
109Please respect copyright.PENANA3MMtpH88wh
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.109Please respect copyright.PENANAO6wyGDcciX
109Please respect copyright.PENANAlviRZIg82x
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."109Please respect copyright.PENANAQdmpMBEPqJ
109Please respect copyright.PENANAYgImnBA1ng
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."109Please respect copyright.PENANAkW8tEHRVnD
109Please respect copyright.PENANANQeVvlbEn5
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."109Please respect copyright.PENANAtgxftzjxj9
109Please respect copyright.PENANADVcy72ySe9
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.109Please respect copyright.PENANAV9Mz5QvPE4
109Please respect copyright.PENANAW5qYTScaTO
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.109Please respect copyright.PENANAeVJ0ZL8lwb
109Please respect copyright.PENANAhP5tSiaXp4
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.109Please respect copyright.PENANAUSovpTkNCA
109Please respect copyright.PENANAbxHcarbJCa
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I thought maybe..."109Please respect copyright.PENANAslOQ041yBv
109Please respect copyright.PENANAMadDfhCN90
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.109Please respect copyright.PENANAFbMsavEq6W
109Please respect copyright.PENANAMPOyvxPHEP
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.109Please respect copyright.PENANAgQT1leFDSj
109Please respect copyright.PENANA4MvhBzKs42
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking. He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.109Please respect copyright.PENANAazTV7FhVDF
109Please respect copyright.PENANASx1vEWL5Qc
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.109Please respect copyright.PENANAan8YtBQSTZ
109Please respect copyright.PENANAT8DUJlC4c5
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.109Please respect copyright.PENANA2XCgWJF5DO
109Please respect copyright.PENANAiCqKKDUDUB
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.109Please respect copyright.PENANABHngDU9kGH
109Please respect copyright.PENANAbC7UmqslDQ
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."109Please respect copyright.PENANA6AqlQsrO17
109Please respect copyright.PENANAmFu5dRNeEZ
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."109Please respect copyright.PENANATumB2M5p0L
109Please respect copyright.PENANAR5YfEdVhEr
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."109Please respect copyright.PENANAXt1uoSV83u
109Please respect copyright.PENANAe40QNvO0QV
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."109Please respect copyright.PENANAkGy1dBXwDd
109Please respect copyright.PENANAvLGYNyCESC
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."109Please respect copyright.PENANARYXxd2cFjs
109Please respect copyright.PENANANBMAh1gF1h
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.109Please respect copyright.PENANAUO9XUFDhRv
