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.191Please respect copyright.PENANASPUvfvU4VO

"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"191Please respect copyright.PENANANoLgmjh0cc
191Please respect copyright.PENANADwAohyyQZ5
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.191Please respect copyright.PENANAy6C9HHykvj
191Please respect copyright.PENANAR9A9yu8Hpq
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.191Please respect copyright.PENANAzeIx2hFI6T
191Please respect copyright.PENANAdLgr2xKRua
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?"191Please respect copyright.PENANAOv3iHju6oZ
191Please respect copyright.PENANApBwaKl42HG
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.191Please respect copyright.PENANAVw3Rwmutg5
191Please respect copyright.PENANAbzFaQiZt2P
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."191Please respect copyright.PENANAa8StaD8ogq
191Please respect copyright.PENANAWCqDAL0dhD
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."191Please respect copyright.PENANAiq7443YaJj
191Please respect copyright.PENANAfSmDkmcBvk
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."191Please respect copyright.PENANA4xMPEeOEA6
191Please respect copyright.PENANAFruetG2DAX
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.191Please respect copyright.PENANAZbpEoW72GL
191Please respect copyright.PENANAJYGgTybJvR
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.191Please respect copyright.PENANAdSWQWPRExK
191Please respect copyright.PENANAC28KI34SyO
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.191Please respect copyright.PENANAhA2zkAsuLw
191Please respect copyright.PENANAfIqSOc8KDz
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I thought maybe..."191Please respect copyright.PENANAM4VMOd0W22
191Please respect copyright.PENANASSKd5ocFnG
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.191Please respect copyright.PENANAHWjUrB149h
191Please respect copyright.PENANAOWlOCdMb9l
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.191Please respect copyright.PENANAFjbJJNxNiR
191Please respect copyright.PENANAM3pC0kxyQD
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking. He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.191Please respect copyright.PENANAHZcJ0e5LhS
191Please respect copyright.PENANAB80PTFA7cp
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.191Please respect copyright.PENANA4J3RVBRBtL
191Please respect copyright.PENANAQQVS8EyP5P
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.191Please respect copyright.PENANAgnWDJybZuQ
191Please respect copyright.PENANAiXQO97d36F
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.191Please respect copyright.PENANAMlX0dzKVXa
191Please respect copyright.PENANA7vHXtdzMIZ
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."191Please respect copyright.PENANAgYGUv0n5W2
191Please respect copyright.PENANAMZg4N35x9A
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."191Please respect copyright.PENANAdcWuOj0vAT
191Please respect copyright.PENANAtPUFvjrSky
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."191Please respect copyright.PENANA9fpeJ9Mxta
191Please respect copyright.PENANA2AlbbrBEdb
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."191Please respect copyright.PENANA5DxcCkiwF5
191Please respect copyright.PENANAoo1GwFTq01
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."191Please respect copyright.PENANAGq8FmEdSjF
191Please respect copyright.PENANA6vviaGknBG
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.191Please respect copyright.PENANA5pTyA2amrQ
