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.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ77RauZtKi

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.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBhyM8wlzW
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4PzotlgVD
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c4dbM840w
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp0KikkkUn
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNtnTysw53
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOEobIxSdM
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbphIei5Pa
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HIpgBEajU
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJktqzpJlk
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnTzojD2qQ
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz27GWZplxx
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgE64gVRaq
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6g7z3b1yH
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIifot5Omay
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.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeBtAMshf4
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIJJuoDOaR
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1T4qWVq9W
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwViUXasMT3
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYoU40aY5K
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbOnHBHUha
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ010xsEbIxQ
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43AqIc8N1J
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."54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTIGdqnHla
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBvZEiu298
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaEakPKChG
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDjoJauptv
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jzVorvLHA
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA17cTfnhcc
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG4uzBA9HL
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVDBQFBjph
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.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQlKrNLRHr
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yJoqiVs0C
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vJ2LVS4sR
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW28UFejhu9
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.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaWQ1SiKWk
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1lWSUhKE0
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93ERzxLh1P
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkVbEy3P3Z
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo7iHeWU98
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTAZxkuRxD
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.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfy9AHpYSI
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5Uz8KrDHQ
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpLZCOtbh2
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS01snSqiCw
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dRmrgIpvN
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq90LSyZrk
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6t2k0nlUk
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNWd8MSaQT
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
