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.148Please respect copyright.PENANAVTsVWN9JvQ
148Please respect copyright.PENANAv9Oe6xxrwq
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.148Please respect copyright.PENANA1lHSHbPdnp
148Please respect copyright.PENANAwmW9ScI4ef
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."148Please respect copyright.PENANAq3XHBARWGs
148Please respect copyright.PENANAhJtoWwXE0M
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"148Please respect copyright.PENANAPHnoyduaup
148Please respect copyright.PENANA2Gdp4iGxzi
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."148Please respect copyright.PENANA4sWFxsnaHF
148Please respect copyright.PENANAMoLuKuFMk8
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.148Please respect copyright.PENANAMHScWcUHtM
148Please respect copyright.PENANAjMQPQ5ZIQM
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.148Please respect copyright.PENANAEz0o501QrJ
148Please respect copyright.PENANAtp512xbYxc
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."148Please respect copyright.PENANAIKsLrZfi2S
148Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4lYf1cDbt
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.148Please respect copyright.PENANA8aXS3YaTUY
148Please respect copyright.PENANAN6Q6vQjBZp
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.148Please respect copyright.PENANARauOfUt4XJ
148Please respect copyright.PENANA1eB3Z24AEB
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."148Please respect copyright.PENANAcw7FYw6uzq
148Please respect copyright.PENANANhe83FugQY
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"148Please respect copyright.PENANAEwNSwxsF8p
148Please respect copyright.PENANAu1EV8VtEhA
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."148Please respect copyright.PENANAJzkbszbfOd
148Please respect copyright.PENANAFm16nl7i1B
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"148Please respect copyright.PENANAu16Wwu4n5a
148Please respect copyright.PENANAxWahdNRiso
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."148Please respect copyright.PENANAcqPQJIH57v
148Please respect copyright.PENANArLno4Ks4zY
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.148Please respect copyright.PENANAUPilHwuc3e
148Please respect copyright.PENANAunmUPXaMzZ
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.148Please respect copyright.PENANAh8P2M48rka
148Please respect copyright.PENANA0KAT6HpEym
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.148Please respect copyright.PENANAhBylmHWafl
148Please respect copyright.PENANApdFzEyYHSE
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.148Please respect copyright.PENANAwAkOeLpJd7
148Please respect copyright.PENANA3w78VJZPw9
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.148Please respect copyright.PENANANgsnWZD2MA
148Please respect copyright.PENANAQjBoWMwwbR
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."148Please respect copyright.PENANABCGaePobUL
148Please respect copyright.PENANAVz4cjQj1q4
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.148Please respect copyright.PENANAnFD0VDvQU5
148Please respect copyright.PENANAZshNysXhjr
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."148Please respect copyright.PENANALrKVlaqJ7J
148Please respect copyright.PENANAvXO1spqhnG
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.148Please respect copyright.PENANA1KAIakqQ6O
148Please respect copyright.PENANAS2gS4GtewF
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."148Please respect copyright.PENANAjcIKK5KiZe
148Please respect copyright.PENANAmAwAGOEWsC
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
