"Yuki, I need to talk to you about something," Hana said, her voice serious.153Please respect copyright.PENANAJC0tPkYEk4
153Please respect copyright.PENANA6xSgFlfrqn
Yuki raised an eyebrow. "What's up?"153Please respect copyright.PENANAOhyiTZa7VH
153Please respect copyright.PENANAJIvhmROkIp
Hana took a deep breath. "It's about Jun," she said. "He's been acting really strange lately, and I think something's wrong."153Please respect copyright.PENANAN0LryEMCvT

Yuki's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"153Please respect copyright.PENANA8Dfalw7LiX
153Please respect copyright.PENANAfW8uqn9Lr1
Hana told Yuki about Aiko and the blood-infused chocolate. Yuki listened intently, her expression growing increasingly concerned.153Please respect copyright.PENANAFrM8ZpegyC

"That's... that's crazy," Yuki said, shaking her head. "I can't believe someone would do that."153Please respect copyright.PENANAsk4LGsNAjU

"I know," Hana said. "Jun's really scared. He doesn't know what to do."153Please respect copyright.PENANAnlQlW0E1QR
153Please respect copyright.PENANAepqqTCBN84
Yuki thought for a moment. She knew Jun was shy, but she had never imagined he was being harassed by someone like Aiko. She had to help him.153Please respect copyright.PENANAdRMjzyzaHs

"Jun, can I talk to you?" Yuki asked, her voice soft.153Please respect copyright.PENANAp6pHjLYamV
153Please respect copyright.PENANASH1pQrzVK0
Jun hesitated. He was still nervous about what had happened the other day, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief when he saw Yuki.153Please respect copyright.PENANAQDnZcTKJ7U
153Please respect copyright.PENANAcjCuovfbG2
"Sure," he mumbled, looking down at his hands.153Please respect copyright.PENANAzV46j87z2z

Yuki sat down across from him. "I heard about what happened with Aiko," she said. "I'm so sorry."153Please respect copyright.PENANA9NE4jZeeWK

Jun looked up at her, his eyes filled with surprise. "You know?" he asked.153Please respect copyright.PENANA52UnEEH51D

Yuki nodded. "Hana told me. I'm really worried about you."153Please respect copyright.PENANAFl1ImxOu6d

153Please respect copyright.PENANA6vmgYYTtBp
"I don't know what to do," Jun said, his voice trembling. "Aiko is really scary."153Please respect copyright.PENANA9CA5tH2kT7
153Please respect copyright.PENANAmw0uMleeaF
Yuki smiled. "Don't worry," she said. "I'll help you."153Please respect copyright.PENANArysp1OpotX

Jun felt a warmth spread through his chest. He had never felt so safe, so protected. He was finally starting to believe that maybe, just maybe, he could find happiness with Yuki.
