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.122Please respect copyright.PENANAw0stJyblIM

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.122Please respect copyright.PENANAsggO1rnGYZ
122Please respect copyright.PENANAx0ZbtQymFI
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."122Please respect copyright.PENANAziM7qUiC8B
122Please respect copyright.PENANAEWPLegHO45
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"122Please respect copyright.PENANAZqUgX6Ilb3
122Please respect copyright.PENANAABFbw7KTsV
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."122Please respect copyright.PENANAjGTaK0c9BF
122Please respect copyright.PENANA2Nx5kogTZC
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.122Please respect copyright.PENANAtHG6VzmHwn
122Please respect copyright.PENANAeUqTKgWQRG
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.122Please respect copyright.PENANAePmjrc4cbA
122Please respect copyright.PENANAnl5qDZKqGU
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."122Please respect copyright.PENANA9i1YHFSwty
122Please respect copyright.PENANARGYk2M447P
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.122Please respect copyright.PENANAw3NNHBFA5H
122Please respect copyright.PENANArrzPkUHdcr
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.122Please respect copyright.PENANATFAVAJdUMT
122Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ0qpWxb0g
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."122Please respect copyright.PENANA4jo0LwScWz
122Please respect copyright.PENANAhCdTWw4dJU
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"122Please respect copyright.PENANADxaVB2U99g
122Please respect copyright.PENANAoWYFQPBVGX
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."122Please respect copyright.PENANArVmMyUKMSs
122Please respect copyright.PENANA2i0syCY7z5
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"122Please respect copyright.PENANAxqLSyUWOvQ
122Please respect copyright.PENANAJTG0LLzwfF
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."122Please respect copyright.PENANA5OOBsoRtw8
122Please respect copyright.PENANAlgl1vz10YQ
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.122Please respect copyright.PENANATsawh5djMh
122Please respect copyright.PENANAoiH8FHZV3E
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.122Please respect copyright.PENANAQmc2QAzqkJ
122Please respect copyright.PENANAY7WyInqdNO
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.122Please respect copyright.PENANAXLP2xd3LJb
122Please respect copyright.PENANAa3ux1Ep78f
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.122Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8cupZzQyR
122Please respect copyright.PENANAqujAM8o42f
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.122Please respect copyright.PENANA02Y6QIlJH2
122Please respect copyright.PENANACi30vxwzp2
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."122Please respect copyright.PENANAB8H4S7PvC6
122Please respect copyright.PENANAM5zcuRqtO5
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.122Please respect copyright.PENANAMB0ozY9fsK
122Please respect copyright.PENANAF94ct860nC
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."122Please respect copyright.PENANAMwfMuuxtKI
122Please respect copyright.PENANAABUn4s2yxR
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.122Please respect copyright.PENANAoM72gG7XW9
122Please respect copyright.PENANA07RwWrU2PO
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."122Please respect copyright.PENANAcrdZM3wdnA
122Please respect copyright.PENANAqT7wHFVsu2
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
