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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAOjDGCsIAYx
152Please respect copyright.PENANADS2vIzm9oE
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANA88TOKRIkTw
152Please respect copyright.PENANAWn8ER7jYiW
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."152Please respect copyright.PENANAdlf9rlU0p9
152Please respect copyright.PENANAXoCHB4qpwd
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"152Please respect copyright.PENANAswGmdt3WVG
152Please respect copyright.PENANARcOMjBzU7D
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."152Please respect copyright.PENANAhNkpiX2kKn
152Please respect copyright.PENANAWKJSiee0A3
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.152Please respect copyright.PENANA1IQN8L62dS
152Please respect copyright.PENANAPgEY8E6l6d
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.152Please respect copyright.PENANAw9gVmdM0hT
152Please respect copyright.PENANAJJYZxGkWQ6
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."152Please respect copyright.PENANASrTkV4Grz7
152Please respect copyright.PENANApmmCsB3zZ9
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANALkoPeUiYTo
152Please respect copyright.PENANAGJvHXHPJ94
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.152Please respect copyright.PENANARpjLKhXr32
152Please respect copyright.PENANAdJOlkrC4aC
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."152Please respect copyright.PENANAdtkO68Abgd
152Please respect copyright.PENANAKawKTzNth8
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"152Please respect copyright.PENANAkfCp7DFr9q
152Please respect copyright.PENANAHdD0mFJqLH
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."152Please respect copyright.PENANA2hsI1pK3tH
152Please respect copyright.PENANAl5eFktrg6t
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"152Please respect copyright.PENANAp7jUuZ9YsJ
152Please respect copyright.PENANA0SxnZ4Gqrv
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."152Please respect copyright.PENANAQm9uIHcloG
152Please respect copyright.PENANAlhkZn9gvRH
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.152Please respect copyright.PENANANDyEJguK4H
152Please respect copyright.PENANAGeT1cTV2Xg
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANACjROq9xEeT
152Please respect copyright.PENANAcwN9NhnOVg
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.152Please respect copyright.PENANAxYDBjIL1HQ
152Please respect copyright.PENANAUdsDo7Km6Q
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAWH0sVFpMTv
152Please respect copyright.PENANAuxiHhDhcYl
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.152Please respect copyright.PENANA29N4MImT5I
152Please respect copyright.PENANAHYY4J6e64F
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."152Please respect copyright.PENANAW4SpUGAWnS
152Please respect copyright.PENANAt0oYn95hnB
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAEhzCGn2RtY
152Please respect copyright.PENANALZgF9FcFgs
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."152Please respect copyright.PENANA6YfmcOD56E
152Please respect copyright.PENANA5mw7CnWnHl
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.152Please respect copyright.PENANAvnzBkaFStZ
152Please respect copyright.PENANAvfQAPG9ILM
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."152Please respect copyright.PENANApkeXVqqx9v
152Please respect copyright.PENANA5w7lKv4R2M
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
