Hana found Yuki in the cafeteria, surrounded by her usual group of friends. She waited until Yuki was alone before approaching her.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2KtQbAYrk

"Yuki, I need to talk to you about something," Hana said, her voice serious.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ2KTNynXy
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcVpLnnULG
Yuki raised an eyebrow. "What's up?"81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wz2XKMfMu
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeuvpja0PI
Hana took a deep breath. "It's about Jun," she said. "He's been acting really strange lately, and I think something's wrong."81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TguS9LQ97
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27GhtPKvfw
Yuki's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QawzHcdEi
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJmjaqGOfA
Hana told Yuki about Aiko and the blood-infused chocolate. Yuki listened intently, her expression growing increasingly concerned.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLpgx9Oe9B

"That's... that's crazy," Yuki said, shaking her head. "I can't believe someone would do that."81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAPDBaAZJy

"I know," Hana said. "Jun's really scared. He doesn't know what to do."81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHhY4sFZz2
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDCvqUliVX
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.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWc5K5HG59
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8qVGfoAB1
"I'm going to talk to Jun," Yuki said, her voice firm. "He needs to know that he's not alone."81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdydhsnkZCc

Yuki walked over to Jun, who was sitting alone at a table in the corner of the cafeteria. He looked up when he saw her, his face pale and drawn.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g08V6SyTi

"Jun, can I talk to you?" Yuki asked, her voice soft.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNpqS3wSuB
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyo73qn7JQ
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.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauipGFlZPX
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgEPGBjb7l
"Sure," he mumbled, looking down at his hands.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIhgh3w6zS
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyIQ6ho3JA
Yuki sat down across from him. "I heard about what happened with Aiko," she said. "I'm so sorry."81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ82bijswTb
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXQ2YR92WZ
Jun looked up at her, his eyes filled with surprise. "You know?" he asked.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhFOAUoQ3A

Yuki nodded. "Hana told me. I'm really worried about you."81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiykcQPHEgu
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXhfirS87I
Jun felt a wave of relief wash over him. He wasn't alone. Yuki cared about him.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxyidqHpCx
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx5quaZ1Zj
"I don't know what to do," Jun said, his voice trembling. "Aiko is really scary."81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxeJTYiGi7
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxGFF0KKjk
Yuki smiled. "Don't worry," she said. "I'll help you."81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP8xQBIYwl
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUKTp7raMB
She reached out and took his hand. "We'll figure this out together."81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ492VcAxz5X

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.
