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.121Please respect copyright.PENANAA9tDYnSMNc
121Please respect copyright.PENANAVdKv8fUKv3
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.121Please respect copyright.PENANA4OUleoUpdm
121Please respect copyright.PENANAtvJDmkXbjb
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."121Please respect copyright.PENANAm3wMHfK4ow
121Please respect copyright.PENANAdKLSVUCpHT
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"121Please respect copyright.PENANACuEx6Z8960
121Please respect copyright.PENANA4PGdnPBvJO
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."121Please respect copyright.PENANA2pIu7SCFom
121Please respect copyright.PENANA9IloGAhhkX
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.121Please respect copyright.PENANA5mXp3Ewnz5
121Please respect copyright.PENANAuAEiQWkbvE
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.121Please respect copyright.PENANAgsRxabq9tB
121Please respect copyright.PENANA8jNRWWJmhP
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."121Please respect copyright.PENANAZqp38sV7Rr
121Please respect copyright.PENANAAQiG6G2nqL
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.121Please respect copyright.PENANAyrXzKQEBbm
121Please respect copyright.PENANAcZ6MBxAM0g
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.121Please respect copyright.PENANA5usd43rcyl
121Please respect copyright.PENANAMRKR9mEGpu
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."121Please respect copyright.PENANAhIFxPNFkFs
121Please respect copyright.PENANAIHDXrbnjqX
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"121Please respect copyright.PENANArKdcFjzEe7
121Please respect copyright.PENANAh1B0ESbHMK
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."121Please respect copyright.PENANAZOe8fXJbv7
121Please respect copyright.PENANASx1or80v98
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"121Please respect copyright.PENANA3TftO0zkDm
121Please respect copyright.PENANAniU6ogxYeg
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."121Please respect copyright.PENANAh6jaIjPotY
121Please respect copyright.PENANAkIueD4FLR0
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.121Please respect copyright.PENANApR3Yvg08eS
121Please respect copyright.PENANAw2XKLW1Ha9
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.121Please respect copyright.PENANA23VRiKJb5N
121Please respect copyright.PENANAWzBu3AcFhA
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.121Please respect copyright.PENANAxMwptaiA6J
121Please respect copyright.PENANAl8GbrTf2e7
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.121Please respect copyright.PENANAC4SXvV0Yda
121Please respect copyright.PENANAfP08ly7SeD
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.121Please respect copyright.PENANAIYFCxAyWXs
121Please respect copyright.PENANAIveAchLOdo
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."121Please respect copyright.PENANAinWnF45esA
121Please respect copyright.PENANAjgwg0HKhVp
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.121Please respect copyright.PENANAu5xlckPfpD
121Please respect copyright.PENANA8ixqKQazSG
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."121Please respect copyright.PENANADPetSxFuQW
121Please respect copyright.PENANAxoxDWlDFNX
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.121Please respect copyright.PENANAAb7jnQq5P5
121Please respect copyright.PENANAeFZDi601Eo
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."121Please respect copyright.PENANAiUf0ZDjNeU
121Please respect copyright.PENANA211GfAlPlE
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
