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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDCbmKYjbU

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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf3B3tgUvA

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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xd7P9RYOi
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdBtzhbj1y
"Yuki," he whispered, his voice a little shaky. "I think Aiko is watching us."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77EMoeziMI
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJy2YNSWHY
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM46cg8tHv
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIeh9WQKYs
"Don't worry, Jun," Yuki said, her voice firm. "She can't hurt us."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGegnbE0B4k
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLdTWipvGM
But Jun couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. He felt a sense of dread creeping over him.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfTXYMxlhU
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSnKDjudR4
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIstZkF5K9
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4FXdrfi5P
"Jun," she said, her voice low and menacing. "I have something for you."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAITlYi0A5H
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUIj0KQtob
She reached into her bag and pulled out a small, intricately carved wooden box. It was beautiful, but something about it made Jun uneasy.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5nNp9R8wz
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivCyuiXbr5
"What is it?" he asked, his voice hesitant.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w2EnLP4sS
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OEYBlZ7Qj
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "It's a gift," she said. "I hope you like it."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSGRnW9cNs
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNq8NBFlOa
She handed him the box, and Jun hesitated for a moment before taking it. He felt a sense of dread creeping over him.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KCxAtkLMA
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKJb3XVhqG
"Thanks, Aiko," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "But I don't think I can accept it."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo07s8RNDS
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r2GgnLAzH
Aiko's smile faltered. "Why not?" she asked, her voice tinged with hurt.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys0Ct4wxi9
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXp6ic5Ajy
"I... I don't want to make things awkward," Jun said, trying to find the right words. "I'm happy with Yuki."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a5FJWygdq
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VUr4K7NA9
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."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJkx2Fh1FK
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWzekK8M7T
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKBf1lWqAK
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWoMVw3EpI
"I appreciate your feelings, Aiko," he said, trying to be kind. "But I'm happy with Yuki."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3sw7YHBor
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Sb3PLMPc2
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2XPmD19VO
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC3JH7nj8f
As Jun turned to face Yuki, he noticed that she was staring at the box in his hand with a look of concern.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPAeEqiQ9v
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPZMV5hhlH
"What is it, Jun?" she asked, her voice soft. "What did Aiko give you?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbktlj2Z61V
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoqG0wVL9N
Jun hesitated for a moment before handing her the box.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6DDZwTqB5
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZsRWqDgWq
"I don't know," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "She just said it was a gift."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP7iI1UYGN
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡespy7OYR0O
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVATNShkEhq
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOl4sb7Jwt
"This is... this is strange," she said, her voice a little shaky. "I don't think we should keep it."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNFzPQPeAp
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxMux5TkYl
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXgeFb6Aw2
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHteEle4Wk
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsVCF23JkN
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWRv8xIuf3
"Jun," she said, her voice urgent. "We need to get out of here."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4acHm2Mwu
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HPwQUk9Qe
She grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the booth. They ran through the crowded courtyard, their hearts pounding in their chests.
