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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqbFBzFIGO
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PnR4drd0g
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsekiMSwZzK
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q2de8LGFY
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yJFScubH8
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDeN8pXhgj
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOOoul9Cdd
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eN2ntd8yL
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORhS9sBM7a
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IDke9gQqH
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx00gAw32D
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXT7pHbcXF
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYNJsbc19g
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUb1CGklgt
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowbniajJHy
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbJjlF9lwo
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUF98D4sZF
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbf5eVAGEM
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEan0zhcLhY
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWYaEJrBvD
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfMKN9dgng
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwCbJFnLt6
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4RY5jRqzJ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjxX42xcb6
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."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgzCbX7t0E
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8LwMsgfuH
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvlPWtxNOo
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwngYyx0kF
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3KTdDMsEX
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf58EjeUWUb
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyfd61Y6Rz
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnbtrU2Vuu
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpkIlWM7Bn
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nonIGQG9Q
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0n2dbDvR7
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS1eWgFdzP
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwbHfZciae
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlK0iNNeDp
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg2ISZLiSY
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19xrmS1JxP
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB41T3Bsp8A
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUEkTEBUEt
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeDyXiqtlJ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnftDu1v7Ql
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPqybhGlGw
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNnWnjHsaD
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCARrvuhZ3i
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLc0EfPvmU
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2paJM5RRn0
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfJEHVMdtT
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
