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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxezpz67Zc

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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU31eVODFx

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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtthUe9rbzN
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVu68PodqB
"Yuki," he whispered, his voice a little shaky. "I think Aiko is watching us."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5kQnUuWrE
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbWj7UEBXZ
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9osGXCM7SC
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDieMqB7QZ9
"Don't worry, Jun," Yuki said, her voice firm. "She can't hurt us."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BoxCuuNId
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSuRbDlVmk
But Jun couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. He felt a sense of dread creeping over him.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5w3RL0U4j
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6VjX4Izfe
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bVHbH2WrP
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b4eyEWHQG
"Jun," she said, her voice low and menacing. "I have something for you."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhNssdI75I
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUGJUYXxOa
She reached into her bag and pulled out a small, intricately carved wooden box. It was beautiful, but something about it made Jun uneasy.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKllgeGiv1
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxRpzhYw9l
"What is it?" he asked, his voice hesitant.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfhFOuzvde
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhcqkaeKnO
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "It's a gift," she said. "I hope you like it."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7er7IQitc
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6ZTe3XCf4
She handed him the box, and Jun hesitated for a moment before taking it. He felt a sense of dread creeping over him.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM3c2zjVah
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBm2Bg48TV
"Thanks, Aiko," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "But I don't think I can accept it."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD7wnvnJUZ
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCz8SkXWdo
Aiko's smile faltered. "Why not?" she asked, her voice tinged with hurt.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGt9GL2tzM
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN8Ya40xLy
"I... I don't want to make things awkward," Jun said, trying to find the right words. "I'm happy with Yuki."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgCgh8yiUk
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46gIJIYdmw
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."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGgQs0iBqN
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sbLGdDF0A
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkKOjdPqJ6
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXBkLE1k77
"I appreciate your feelings, Aiko," he said, trying to be kind. "But I'm happy with Yuki."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Exs2hKro0
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRksEbpvN1
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LDRWvB8nd
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzo3FYD1Ce
As Jun turned to face Yuki, he noticed that she was staring at the box in his hand with a look of concern.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL80rk2NEJR
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBhYz2krmm
"What is it, Jun?" she asked, her voice soft. "What did Aiko give you?"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseAGwv9ppj
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBju9baddp
Jun hesitated for a moment before handing her the box.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkdcPly7RE
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CzAmRURis
"I don't know," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "She just said it was a gift."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9XqwXUpLg
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwtSGk8C4q
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv26t2hHgvH
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJReoeb7v6
"This is... this is strange," she said, her voice a little shaky. "I don't think we should keep it."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv1bfs5tZo
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxKUREmtCX
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV6FLdUemB
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrsRXq8Ork
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXbGd8dJF0
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngq1CIfkuL
"Jun," she said, her voice urgent. "We need to get out of here."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD11AHR3sF
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ5e3BjK2I
She grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the booth. They ran through the crowded courtyard, their hearts pounding in their chests.
