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.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2IraouCIo

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.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhXwrnHds3
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzk0lzmiIz
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJxHgTCXCP
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYfzT9sW1Q
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDaKJMqBU3
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT6NxNLaQA
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD499TdYn88
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFyWFToF1w
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rtZH1ulip
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iDvhFDNCc
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop3tHJj5nW
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRWVaUhsOo
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoKuGiH81e
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mw5bBk7FQ
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.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LE9AktpYp
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiNKOiE2MG
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOdZLANuFj
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bFkbv6cCb
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnTTVdCHCz
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOooEh9b7j
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnmqQQkghQ
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwPNY7kV3R
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."88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2JnElN0UH
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8FI4RJrZQ
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj51mSv9px
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHj4SdVPL4
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGOFzBjneU
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL41walQflc
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcRZVJAUY9
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NJIKbM0n5
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.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QI7ECvZiw
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2A8haWHp7
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIzLEmeAmV
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9rSV7Sfwa
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.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQQznjh7NJ
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86xfvSNkMB
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEt9eHTP7b
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CZF1PNxYB
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfxBkX9VRH
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqbw50snWz
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.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nt9eEqGjq
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUehbP3Xx1
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijteBRMQTh
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHY0Zqfq0p
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMyqJbm8U6
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5fBNj9roI
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLctJMbYri
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk92uHqzLyE
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
