The next day at school, Jun was trying to avoid Yuki as much as possible. He was still mortified by the previous day's events and couldn't bring himself to face her.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4FUyGYfp5

As he was walking through the hallway, he bumped into Aiko, a girl he'd only ever seen in passing. She was known for her eccentric style and her slightly unsettling obsession with Jun.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKu1SiUKpH
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz29nPHum3t
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWTRA5y4Ss
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x6J3hSNe7
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHyqOkJJ1z
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2fRiqi4Px
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPurI4nFfaA
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZncg9MKOO
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Yy7IsrRtF
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFPdHjQjn8
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYXgJpl5WW
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS9djRUrMr
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVfhcut67O
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtJ48p8o3b
Jun opened the box. Inside, he found a small, heart-shaped box of chocolate. But something about the chocolate looked... off. It had a strange, almost metallic sheen to it.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBQ1SLSSRk
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxcsAJYeKl
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkisnuHaOz
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL47NDjx7U6
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVynQXRgkF
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVe0kTmVX0
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwg1CpiLcC
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwvp7sPpzu
Aiko leaned in close to Jun, her breath hot on his cheek. "I put a little bit of my blood in it," she whispered. "I wanted to give you a piece of my heart."83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzpiXR5LF7
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9ho36KhQg
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPpQR25iWq
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaKmxbsmJX
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuO9yjgz3f
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJeBmQZsFf
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZyWDs3O6L
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0grTkMmSsl
He ran all the way to the library, where he could finally catch his breath. He was still shaking, his mind reeling from the encounter.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1oR1Ip0A4
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygaMmI2vpM
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h8gufJ6gA
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC24AqvtoS8
Jun didn't know what to say. He couldn't tell her about Aiko's blood-infused chocolate. It was just too weird, too embarrassing.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iMe3idsl5
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj2eFrLccK
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwWueps39O
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHoLqfLrs1
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HK4wWe6Fc
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1OOhpHQjC
Jun sighed. He knew he couldn't keep it from her any longer. He told her about Aiko's chocolate, about the metallic sheen, about the blood.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqhyKKuuLD
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP4Rxjz2Qf
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZJZ1g3a6s
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eI6aW3DeF
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MqejtfDQr
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTRtTesFaK
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SsZRuDqh7
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVrU9SAh1s
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
