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

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.
