The next day at school, Jun was trying to avoid Yuki as much as possible. He was still mortified by the previous day's events and couldn't bring himself to face her.129Please respect copyright.PENANA8sfDYqKLBV
129Please respect copyright.PENANAc0f9d8ylr5
As he was walking through the hallway, he bumped into Aiko, a girl he'd only ever seen in passing. She was known for her eccentric style and her slightly unsettling obsession with Jun.129Please respect copyright.PENANA4eBnyllhEc
129Please respect copyright.PENANA3ekl5tkjtK
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."129Please respect copyright.PENANANAIbTndC21
129Please respect copyright.PENANAgXJbyGNuYs
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"129Please respect copyright.PENANAjCNb38XhTc
129Please respect copyright.PENANAiTSMyCixJp
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."129Please respect copyright.PENANAUaXC3FAeY0
129Please respect copyright.PENANAHnC6EPcrwV
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.129Please respect copyright.PENANAlnPxB6eKqq
129Please respect copyright.PENANA8FUMyrdKlv
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.129Please respect copyright.PENANAe8pQDnBSFQ
129Please respect copyright.PENANAwIOEyOUcH3
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."129Please respect copyright.PENANABilYTrolik
129Please respect copyright.PENANA4kpmEnlMrC
Jun opened the box. Inside, he found a small, heart-shaped box of chocolate. But something about the chocolate looked... off. It had a strange, almost metallic sheen to it.129Please respect copyright.PENANAKMvJ4RIOD6
129Please respect copyright.PENANAWQhX3nWv5L
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.129Please respect copyright.PENANA0A5oRdx1M6
129Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZjK9k9d2H
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."129Please respect copyright.PENANAXXDyHlYoOA
129Please respect copyright.PENANAXlER051PCN
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"129Please respect copyright.PENANAic6ceKUtVG
129Please respect copyright.PENANAeAUCXkP976
Aiko leaned in close to Jun, her breath hot on his cheek. "I put a little bit of my blood in it," she whispered. "I wanted to give you a piece of my heart."129Please respect copyright.PENANAIBZpTFKP2x
129Please respect copyright.PENANANa2DMuHuND
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"129Please respect copyright.PENANAJOnHmbLSDO
129Please respect copyright.PENANAPXYiLcKjwe
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."129Please respect copyright.PENANAcXdh2HsN5n
129Please respect copyright.PENANAggODNL6cMk
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.129Please respect copyright.PENANAYmzHXyNXDD
129Please respect copyright.PENANAl8FFCTKuBH
He ran all the way to the library, where he could finally catch his breath. He was still shaking, his mind reeling from the encounter.129Please respect copyright.PENANAzF8DyjNaK3
129Please respect copyright.PENANA96qMLfNaGR
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.129Please respect copyright.PENANAEdwFHqJfyH
129Please respect copyright.PENANAxllf76ApJU
Jun didn't know what to say. He couldn't tell her about Aiko's blood-infused chocolate. It was just too weird, too embarrassing.129Please respect copyright.PENANA3nSFHatgka
129Please respect copyright.PENANARNk7BTTR1f
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.129Please respect copyright.PENANAobUqOeSxfY
129Please respect copyright.PENANAC76thn2BKz
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."129Please respect copyright.PENANA6Gk6oyBrZ8
129Please respect copyright.PENANAbSdC4e4gEL
Jun sighed. He knew he couldn't keep it from her any longer. He told her about Aiko's chocolate, about the metallic sheen, about the blood.129Please respect copyright.PENANAjUdpl4pjNN
129Please respect copyright.PENANARWbb0h4eo7
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."129Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ4dxk4A8h
129Please respect copyright.PENANA7nV3ImfBrX
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.129Please respect copyright.PENANAR2a7vtY43m
129Please respect copyright.PENANAao6lgfqJ4C
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."129Please respect copyright.PENANAFcJxQN82up
129Please respect copyright.PENANAMBywmsPl2I
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
