The festival was in full swing, and the courtyard was buzzing with activity. Jun and Yuki were busy manning their class booth, selling homemade crafts and snacks. They were having a blast, laughing and joking with their classmates, and enjoying the festive atmosphere.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GZUggZdqb

Jun was feeling a little more confident now, thanks to Yuki's unwavering support. He was even starting to enjoy the attention he was getting from other girls. But he knew that he only had eyes for Yuki.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwG1Z0hYDy

As the night wore on, Jun noticed that Aiko was watching them from across the courtyard. Her eyes were fixed on him, and she had a dark, brooding expression on her face. He felt a shiver run down his spine. He knew she wouldn't let him forget about her.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp6mFSKJgO
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5flFlPAk68
"Yuki," he whispered, his voice a little shaky. "I think Aiko is watching us."94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5u61T6M0S
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ275VpD1tON
Yuki followed his gaze and saw Aiko standing alone in the shadows. Her eyes were fixed on them, and she had a menacing look on her face.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYzK8tXUM7
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCOyKVR6M7
"Don't worry, Jun," Yuki said, her voice firm. "She can't hurt us."94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIhC33mbKc
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYNehzkINe
But Jun couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. He felt a sense of dread creeping over him.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTze6zt3UOQ
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyla2B0pnZ
As they were packing up their booth, Jun noticed that Aiko was walking towards them. Her eyes were fixed on him, and she had a determined look on her face.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebHr6PAau8
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBFTuyEfFf
"Jun," she said, her voice low and menacing. "I have something for you."94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanQszauoOk
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp4vFcPIdt
She reached into her bag and pulled out a small, intricately carved wooden box. It was beautiful, but something about it made Jun uneasy.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qM5ktbhPa
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGlrcmxTmh
"What is it?" he asked, his voice hesitant.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYtifkmlgL
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21EtsZJ94e
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "It's a gift," she said. "I hope you like it."94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV6RWSdQVS
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsHuPxImtk
She handed him the box, and Jun hesitated for a moment before taking it. He felt a sense of dread creeping over him.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjEFAXl7K4
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAanIykPIu
"Thanks, Aiko," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "But I don't think I can accept it."94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblqGohXB7M
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQibU0jSCL
Aiko's smile faltered. "Why not?" she asked, her voice tinged with hurt.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ131BGg6NTI
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqLBOlI0TM
"I... I don't want to make things awkward," Jun said, trying to find the right words. "I'm happy with Yuki."94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJkSkx9d5c
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2hWT8655J
Aiko's eyes narrowed. "You're happy with her?" she asked, her voice laced with bitterness. "But she doesn't love you the way I do."94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLCt9mQESv
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJuCAp2wuX
Jun felt a pang of guilt. He knew Aiko was obsessed with him, but he couldn't help but feel a little flattered by her attention.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ueR28uVfL
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNP3TCzYVp
"I appreciate your feelings, Aiko," he said, trying to be kind. "But I'm happy with Yuki."94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpNbteENcU
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0l0mjXV34
Aiko turned and walked away, her shoulders slumped with defeat. Jun watched her go, his heart heavy with guilt. He didn't want to hurt her feelings, but he knew he had to be honest with himself. He was in love with Yuki, and he couldn't imagine being with anyone else.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7iO7D18Nv
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3bxadnrpf
As Jun turned to face Yuki, he noticed that she was staring at the box in his hand with a look of concern.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYnupyoEst
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NAauwCusj
"What is it, Jun?" she asked, her voice soft. "What did Aiko give you?"94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPnWP3TnWm
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLRjAX3hVx
Jun hesitated for a moment before handing her the box.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8raa306Xhu
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0KoPkNnS7
"I don't know," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "She just said it was a gift."94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS5HX901Iv
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqi2xUiYg3
Yuki took the box and opened it. Inside, she found a small, intricately carved wooden doll. It was beautiful, but something about it made her uneasy.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0U0hq0WyW
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbypPRIpXIc
"This is... this is strange," she said, her voice a little shaky. "I don't think we should keep it."94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFaMDg4uQ0
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDFg2Osnsz
As she spoke, she noticed a faint, sweet scent emanating from the doll. It was a familiar scent, one she had smelled before. It was the scent of blood.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnQYM9AVTL
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaKNvhwruk
Yuki's eyes widened in horror. She realized what Aiko had done. She had poisoned the doll with her own blood, hoping to use it to harm Jun.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkO6uPhO1P
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAji2512tlm
"Jun," she said, her voice urgent. "We need to get out of here."94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ7BWAc1Zt
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtxOVtTGHq
She grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the booth. They ran through the crowded courtyard, their hearts pounding in their chests.
