"Yuki, I need to talk to you about something," Hana said, her voice serious.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHm4Ucu8Wd
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelFVtRwv02
Yuki raised an eyebrow. "What's up?"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPMw5U6C6N
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPl4dgP0wY
Hana took a deep breath. "It's about Jun," she said. "He's been acting really strange lately, and I think something's wrong."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsJaYPuAMq
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzAG8TBxc9
Yuki's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXGgKVD4qU
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD3H90LObD
Hana told Yuki about Aiko and the blood-infused chocolate. Yuki listened intently, her expression growing increasingly concerned.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NEh2dhusC

"That's... that's crazy," Yuki said, shaking her head. "I can't believe someone would do that."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi5BXuCwhS

"I know," Hana said. "Jun's really scared. He doesn't know what to do."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8t8ktOuHp
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmj2IZnMqe
Yuki thought for a moment. She knew Jun was shy, but she had never imagined he was being harassed by someone like Aiko. She had to help him.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KKIzQgq6d
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1zhMoXUjt
"I'm going to talk to Jun," Yuki said, her voice firm. "He needs to know that he's not alone."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODjid3Y2qx

Yuki walked over to Jun, who was sitting alone at a table in the corner of the cafeteria. He looked up when he saw her, his face pale and drawn.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8euOA7uEy

"Jun, can I talk to you?" Yuki asked, her voice soft.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qkuboTvBs
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4TDebBr3H
Jun hesitated. He was still nervous about what had happened the other day, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief when he saw Yuki.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFaEk1voS0
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguHG5zWpGe
"Sure," he mumbled, looking down at his hands.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPNkx93nED
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa79kgBEI9M
Yuki sat down across from him. "I heard about what happened with Aiko," she said. "I'm so sorry."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGG45CKSmp
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPTNTFLK0I
Jun looked up at her, his eyes filled with surprise. "You know?" he asked.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMQbHLgDkk
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpKo5aUTom
Yuki nodded. "Hana told me. I'm really worried about you."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSwzL0l6si
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKdUh0F3TQ
Jun felt a wave of relief wash over him. He wasn't alone. Yuki cared about him.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq55EpisDv4
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CTYpAAm5S
"I don't know what to do," Jun said, his voice trembling. "Aiko is really scary."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXnEOwxOkG
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcnGBKIjXY
Yuki smiled. "Don't worry," she said. "I'll help you."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUV96UdTzw
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbnRtWPCMP
She reached out and took his hand. "We'll figure this out together."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ9vTBalvx

Jun felt a warmth spread through his chest. He had never felt so safe, so protected. He was finally starting to believe that maybe, just maybe, he could find happiness with Yuki.
