The festival was in full swing, and the courtyard was buzzing with activity. Jun and Yuki were busy manning their class booth, selling homemade crafts and snacks. They were having a blast, laughing and joking with their classmates, and enjoying the festive atmosphere.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNvkg5oLJq

Jun was feeling a little more confident now, thanks to Yuki's unwavering support. He was even starting to enjoy the attention he was getting from other girls. But he knew that he only had eyes for Yuki.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0vxkx5g6x

As the night wore on, Jun noticed that Aiko was watching them from across the courtyard. Her eyes were fixed on him, and she had a dark, brooding expression on her face. He felt a shiver run down his spine. He knew she wouldn't let him forget about her.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrineEhmRm

"Yuki," he whispered, his voice a little shaky. "I think Aiko is watching us."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc5C7ESALu
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupX5KO6N2U
Yuki followed his gaze and saw Aiko standing alone in the shadows. Her eyes were fixed on them, and she had a menacing look on her face.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yV5VbrfdC
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhUXj4TsIJ
"Don't worry, Jun," Yuki said, her voice firm. "She can't hurt us."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5sixm1uXX
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2inKdh3tG
But Jun couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. He felt a sense of dread creeping over him.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOWhpgmbk3
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpaD7ayuuE
As they were packing up their booth, Jun noticed that Aiko was walking towards them. Her eyes were fixed on him, and she had a determined look on her face.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lklDEe3th
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXYRidpp50
"Jun," she said, her voice low and menacing. "I have something for you."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pa00q5bJs
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6hCu0Tzpn
She reached into her bag and pulled out a small, intricately carved wooden box. It was beautiful, but something about it made Jun uneasy.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7TQxNTD4I
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpIhNosFrm
"What is it?" he asked, his voice hesitant.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2hOhNRtMo
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9u3U5is2Q
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "It's a gift," she said. "I hope you like it."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmOMgowBB7
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKoTnmsGZR
She handed him the box, and Jun hesitated for a moment before taking it. He felt a sense of dread creeping over him.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftsGs2xCPI
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeslNjTs3q
"Thanks, Aiko," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "But I don't think I can accept it."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhCeZ4Hztp
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqjvlf1jwd
Aiko's smile faltered. "Why not?" she asked, her voice tinged with hurt.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaZ23KOOPw
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNDcRCATRZ
"I... I don't want to make things awkward," Jun said, trying to find the right words. "I'm happy with Yuki."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtL8quFsx2
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5chOQHtIr
Aiko's eyes narrowed. "You're happy with her?" she asked, her voice laced with bitterness. "But she doesn't love you the way I do."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbYorzHZ3c
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfnsS4aqE9
Jun felt a pang of guilt. He knew Aiko was obsessed with him, but he couldn't help but feel a little flattered by her attention.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuwQbzgyJj
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqD8ZWG7eV
"I appreciate your feelings, Aiko," he said, trying to be kind. "But I'm happy with Yuki."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4na5ItDzX
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXOZ1QXM7Y
Aiko turned and walked away, her shoulders slumped with defeat. Jun watched her go, his heart heavy with guilt. He didn't want to hurt her feelings, but he knew he had to be honest with himself. He was in love with Yuki, and he couldn't imagine being with anyone else.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvyUVDZR88
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxJcJ9a4zL
As Jun turned to face Yuki, he noticed that she was staring at the box in his hand with a look of concern.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2YP7nyRnh
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxv1eohLZR
"What is it, Jun?" she asked, her voice soft. "What did Aiko give you?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt1UR0vdMq
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVoSeZvF9S
Jun hesitated for a moment before handing her the box.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYREovns97
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPK1L4i6cY
"I don't know," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "She just said it was a gift."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKUzKUCPo2
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTp0Ww7zgd
Yuki took the box and opened it. Inside, she found a small, intricately carved wooden doll. It was beautiful, but something about it made her uneasy.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yRyCwVyYc
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjPzMMmMMe
"This is... this is strange," she said, her voice a little shaky. "I don't think we should keep it."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfsEI4y3TA
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSebtVduVfA
As she spoke, she noticed a faint, sweet scent emanating from the doll. It was a familiar scent, one she had smelled before. It was the scent of blood.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6iICI5faX
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGMfAgE5uH
Yuki's eyes widened in horror. She realized what Aiko had done. She had poisoned the doll with her own blood, hoping to use it to harm Jun.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEadAKc5Gyk
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7030D38F6u
"Jun," she said, her voice urgent. "We need to get out of here."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsuY4UlnJO
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1Uzxwf581
She grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the booth. They ran through the crowded courtyard, their hearts pounding in their chests.
