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.192Please respect copyright.PENANAs3PywGZ2Xm
192Please respect copyright.PENANAPJlFw6Yk0s
"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"192Please respect copyright.PENANAazmqgRL4XF
192Please respect copyright.PENANAeNwmi7CCEb
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.192Please respect copyright.PENANACUwt6NBz6y
192Please respect copyright.PENANATxRU1f7mZI
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.192Please respect copyright.PENANAIZS0mt6yeS
192Please respect copyright.PENANAlmeYbVuGz4
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?"192Please respect copyright.PENANAiUU4PLKcHo
192Please respect copyright.PENANAYpkoxnsBIO
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.192Please respect copyright.PENANAi08WCPbWk1
192Please respect copyright.PENANALpMZMOpLhP
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."192Please respect copyright.PENANA3Qt2Ic1TS5
192Please respect copyright.PENANAMzRIxVFbDr
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."192Please respect copyright.PENANA6W15klLscj
192Please respect copyright.PENANAsjJ7fSuxlF
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."192Please respect copyright.PENANApnjVcwMB41
192Please respect copyright.PENANAp0zYXmJcV8
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.192Please respect copyright.PENANA0YhbLcmJzB
192Please respect copyright.PENANAKEiVoDZUe7
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.192Please respect copyright.PENANAF7vyILrVm7
192Please respect copyright.PENANARkaP91OTR5
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.192Please respect copyright.PENANASppPB3r0TD
192Please respect copyright.PENANApR2ltIw1Ur
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I thought maybe..."192Please respect copyright.PENANAHYz6yf8PcZ
192Please respect copyright.PENANA3OQNQe0I1T
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.192Please respect copyright.PENANAEkcbofBpT3
192Please respect copyright.PENANA6GQPGc03Ws
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.192Please respect copyright.PENANA9bM0w51Gns
192Please respect copyright.PENANAKFMXB2Tpzn
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking. He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.192Please respect copyright.PENANAieWWTVRNm5
192Please respect copyright.PENANApOSJjEerqu
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.192Please respect copyright.PENANA84uaMONcBs
192Please respect copyright.PENANAw0jvNaGY3r
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.192Please respect copyright.PENANAi7qmEfAHdD
192Please respect copyright.PENANAwUaiw3cj21
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.192Please respect copyright.PENANAgQrGdbHS9f
192Please respect copyright.PENANAOhn38tUMWN
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."192Please respect copyright.PENANAMlCowQGuhj
192Please respect copyright.PENANApMcOmLH6Ad
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."192Please respect copyright.PENANAnoAbBOQ2t6
192Please respect copyright.PENANAUipWhIo3M0
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."192Please respect copyright.PENANARfJSNp1WHS
192Please respect copyright.PENANAAmY3HUo3vQ
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."192Please respect copyright.PENANAs4ZlvOHzUf
192Please respect copyright.PENANA9VJsYal35z
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."192Please respect copyright.PENANAEB382y7RvT
192Please respect copyright.PENANAtJFreojC9G
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.192Please respect copyright.PENANAWtweMpFu20
