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.142Please respect copyright.PENANAn1FjZkGTO3
142Please respect copyright.PENANABlZ25V6nSO
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.142Please respect copyright.PENANABAwFEMcpPe
142Please respect copyright.PENANAqYnAKv7RBK
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."142Please respect copyright.PENANActT9pGVWHB
142Please respect copyright.PENANAP7TW3GhWLw
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"142Please respect copyright.PENANA03RIV6FHFy
142Please respect copyright.PENANAhwdhCqUK8V
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."142Please respect copyright.PENANAgMOTzTZt37
142Please respect copyright.PENANAzVnoPgUaRh
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.142Please respect copyright.PENANAxwEeutXWv6
142Please respect copyright.PENANA6SVYUbwKzp
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.142Please respect copyright.PENANAv8En6umBz8
142Please respect copyright.PENANADVERJHNIzZ
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."142Please respect copyright.PENANAVQirDv297C
142Please respect copyright.PENANAmpmA4HawQv
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.142Please respect copyright.PENANA2rN7QRHbmc
142Please respect copyright.PENANAuKELjZFzVr
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.142Please respect copyright.PENANAsFyZKTQ2Il
142Please respect copyright.PENANAMDitHshsw8
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."142Please respect copyright.PENANADbABsNTRqu
142Please respect copyright.PENANA2FDcvSXsNZ
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"142Please respect copyright.PENANAwzrs0kKVRH
142Please respect copyright.PENANAObLJciBxPF
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."142Please respect copyright.PENANA1gKLtzyNuu
142Please respect copyright.PENANAP7icMwBbNf
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"142Please respect copyright.PENANAhlwHhHYdzv
142Please respect copyright.PENANAHmGUwbBiFA
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."142Please respect copyright.PENANA8PxYAJKCvb
142Please respect copyright.PENANAo5ZKUhuzcj
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.142Please respect copyright.PENANAnJKbyqflYF
142Please respect copyright.PENANAKZ2iqzNA1C
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.142Please respect copyright.PENANAwJEXQZT4a8
142Please respect copyright.PENANA30vDgbfcnV
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.142Please respect copyright.PENANAvsbJJdtzqj
142Please respect copyright.PENANA24p1D22ThB
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.142Please respect copyright.PENANAdHI1XF4GnN
142Please respect copyright.PENANAWZkHCJgHBl
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.142Please respect copyright.PENANAEjtuJSP3YR
142Please respect copyright.PENANAtwtjwR1Dg9
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."142Please respect copyright.PENANA2oxguXVagR
142Please respect copyright.PENANADsiaRAb6pp
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.142Please respect copyright.PENANArd8G4WsVSc
142Please respect copyright.PENANAIHkMHfF4vB
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."142Please respect copyright.PENANAFrfI5vSWGI
142Please respect copyright.PENANAu53HxXuruh
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.142Please respect copyright.PENANAMeeZeGshav
142Please respect copyright.PENANAqdL0yETbdo
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."142Please respect copyright.PENANASm6RbLm7Kx
142Please respect copyright.PENANAlLSRlHUnFH
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
