The school bell rang, signaling the end of another grueling day. Jun, as usual, was the last one to leave the classroom, his nose buried in a book. He was so engrossed in his reading that he didn't notice Yuki standing in the doorway, watching him with a soft smile.102Please respect copyright.PENANAiRu6mZj1D5

"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"102Please respect copyright.PENANAwfxQpYMa7G
102Please respect copyright.PENANAltIacpAXTg
Jun's heart skipped a beat. Yuki, the school's most popular girl, was talking to him? He quickly closed his book, his cheeks flushing red.102Please respect copyright.PENANAjqeTv4YSrO
102Please respect copyright.PENANAEd6fjW1nKG
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.102Please respect copyright.PENANAWPTDY3ab1b
102Please respect copyright.PENANAroroGusweI
Yuki took a deep breath. "I... I wanted to ask you something," she said, her eyes meeting his. "Would you... would you like to go out sometime?"102Please respect copyright.PENANAtXYGRAnHzM
102Please respect copyright.PENANAkVcmAx9wAV
Jun's brain went blank. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Yuki, the girl of his dreams, had just asked him out on a date.102Please respect copyright.PENANAonpSv80DNt
102Please respect copyright.PENANA1SNDJG70kv
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."102Please respect copyright.PENANADSTwrHda4T
102Please respect copyright.PENANAvLCNl09Xjx
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."102Please respect copyright.PENANAeH4455D2s3
102Please respect copyright.PENANA3FlTD6oXP5
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."102Please respect copyright.PENANAuOEjEnl8sE
102Please respect copyright.PENANAFJRjiCKlV3
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.102Please respect copyright.PENANAwxSxMxfDF4
102Please respect copyright.PENANAzCIBezTcoL
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.102Please respect copyright.PENANAi3EqGkzBOi
102Please respect copyright.PENANAjm1xVu5aPL
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.102Please respect copyright.PENANAyTkY5mpFaW
102Please respect copyright.PENANAeq6j66kCIy
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I thought maybe..."102Please respect copyright.PENANA6sqI6Y238v
102Please respect copyright.PENANAaOnpPp9aRv
She trailed off, her eyes filled with disappointment. Jun felt a pang of guilt. He wanted to say something, anything, but the words wouldn't come.102Please respect copyright.PENANAP3YSwor0ML
102Please respect copyright.PENANAHEH3mhFbvD
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.102Please respect copyright.PENANAl5yWKP3tQR
102Please respect copyright.PENANAihMGLlwIPE
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking. He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.102Please respect copyright.PENANAkaoQVfBKpu
102Please respect copyright.PENANAhrelEOLABM
As Yuki walked away, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness. She had been so nervous to ask him out, but she had finally worked up the courage. And now, it seemed like it was all for nothing.102Please respect copyright.PENANAkqwFMhwQWH
102Please respect copyright.PENANAjMyLVqHAxG
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.102Please respect copyright.PENANAC24zb1IgW3
102Please respect copyright.PENANAbhLzrQRYV9
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.102Please respect copyright.PENANAFfq53Z1yFi
102Please respect copyright.PENANAkyDSTksqVx
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."102Please respect copyright.PENANAn0bE9IsFE1
102Please respect copyright.PENANAB2dEheIiYq
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."102Please respect copyright.PENANA9ximPtiHD1
102Please respect copyright.PENANA3ewPSqNP6q
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."102Please respect copyright.PENANAl3DyIaJrBI
102Please respect copyright.PENANASNLeWLcXjN
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."102Please respect copyright.PENANAlASufDFOl4
102Please respect copyright.PENANAhdcAIvbllF
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."102Please respect copyright.PENANAav7YfkgMsN
102Please respect copyright.PENANAyQOTy1CoIV
But deep down, she knew Hana was right. She had a crush on Jun, and she wasn't going to let this one little misunderstanding stop her. She was determined to win his heart, even if it meant facing her own fears and insecurities.102Please respect copyright.PENANAtwzFFaGXuA
