The school bell rang, signaling the end of another grueling day. Jun, as usual, was the last one to leave the classroom, his nose buried in a book. He was so engrossed in his reading that he didn't notice Yuki standing in the doorway, watching him with a soft smile.101Please respect copyright.PENANAfePsn9Na6N
101Please respect copyright.PENANAYLkJSBbqfH
"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"101Please respect copyright.PENANA1PnXEtrgoq
101Please respect copyright.PENANAhIhiDvxPlV
Jun's heart skipped a beat. Yuki, the school's most popular girl, was talking to him? He quickly closed his book, his cheeks flushing red.101Please respect copyright.PENANA3Qoi4Kw8ot
101Please respect copyright.PENANARoC0Q9Hmkx
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.101Please respect copyright.PENANA4JcCgIcZZ4
101Please respect copyright.PENANARFGt1uPIIO
Yuki took a deep breath. "I... I wanted to ask you something," she said, her eyes meeting his. "Would you... would you like to go out sometime?"101Please respect copyright.PENANACN5jYXh0XW
101Please respect copyright.PENANAR911TIdPQt
Jun's brain went blank. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Yuki, the girl of his dreams, had just asked him out on a date.101Please respect copyright.PENANAhsLVzQn0Bf
101Please respect copyright.PENANAZVf3l2t4bD
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."101Please respect copyright.PENANAYnl8VtbfhQ
101Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ie0DkEFwJ
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."101Please respect copyright.PENANAtx51E0UcXl
101Please respect copyright.PENANAf2hISIjQeU
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."101Please respect copyright.PENANAFKL0O3Hc8W
101Please respect copyright.PENANAzNKEu0oWve
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.101Please respect copyright.PENANA22sbIWmbaG
101Please respect copyright.PENANA9UxEIJ0SIm
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.101Please respect copyright.PENANAPVYthvzC5R
101Please respect copyright.PENANAIeTOyRdF4l
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.101Please respect copyright.PENANAEH44IZCFNA
101Please respect copyright.PENANATnHu0GQQev
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I thought maybe..."101Please respect copyright.PENANAT4458vnx5p
101Please respect copyright.PENANAJSDIqR6goG
She trailed off, her eyes filled with disappointment. Jun felt a pang of guilt. He wanted to say something, anything, but the words wouldn't come.101Please respect copyright.PENANAo8YoRmyWDY
101Please respect copyright.PENANAkCfPx0W25A
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.101Please respect copyright.PENANAtNAk5UJwLr
101Please respect copyright.PENANAAznTFM7TC5
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking. He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.101Please respect copyright.PENANAeN1wgSUMfA
101Please respect copyright.PENANAORq5Z4xra0
As Yuki walked away, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness. She had been so nervous to ask him out, but she had finally worked up the courage. And now, it seemed like it was all for nothing.101Please respect copyright.PENANAodAp70OUCK
101Please respect copyright.PENANAqpFyUEmpi3
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.101Please respect copyright.PENANAt9PNDV5xyR
101Please respect copyright.PENANAFVGIBJQB1J
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.101Please respect copyright.PENANAyUlNx9LGPn
101Please respect copyright.PENANAtq8B7ejecb
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."101Please respect copyright.PENANAAnj5BRBSsy
101Please respect copyright.PENANA5pVwEAoUnj
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."101Please respect copyright.PENANAsWENnHUJwg
101Please respect copyright.PENANAGgiz4B30CX
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."101Please respect copyright.PENANAid6PeTBo9G
101Please respect copyright.PENANAYoD9qS3LaC
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."101Please respect copyright.PENANAc3jIJb3adD
101Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9f0HnmrOt
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."101Please respect copyright.PENANAn2vkmzC4Zc
101Please respect copyright.PENANAqZGxvsXw8B
But deep down, she knew Hana was right. She had a crush on Jun, and she wasn't going to let this one little misunderstanding stop her. She was determined to win his heart, even if it meant facing her own fears and insecurities.101Please respect copyright.PENANAbHU6FwzUUp
