The school bell rang, signaling the end of another grueling day. Jun, as usual, was the last one to leave the classroom, his nose buried in a book. He was so engrossed in his reading that he didn't notice Yuki standing in the doorway, watching him with a soft smile.311Please respect copyright.PENANA7O1ZLGqAWP
311Please respect copyright.PENANAJBC3eDaf3g
"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"311Please respect copyright.PENANAuyMkDC4VHx
311Please respect copyright.PENANAw1Gm0qTQps
Jun's heart skipped a beat. Yuki, the school's most popular girl, was talking to him? He quickly closed his book, his cheeks flushing red.311Please respect copyright.PENANA1TsyJIj9BJ
311Please respect copyright.PENANA4n4hG8taPp
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.311Please respect copyright.PENANAGf7yY4fh1w
311Please respect copyright.PENANAMUfhJnyvhd
Yuki took a deep breath. "I... I wanted to ask you something," she said, her eyes meeting his. "Would you... would you like to go out sometime?"311Please respect copyright.PENANA1IQtEog84U
311Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z96zfgoPt
Jun's brain went blank. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Yuki, the girl of his dreams, had just asked him out on a date.311Please respect copyright.PENANAnwymuPPT2z
311Please respect copyright.PENANAxSsC4iUqp7
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."311Please respect copyright.PENANAUFd76Lzlc8
311Please respect copyright.PENANAkbbHHQh8Rc
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."311Please respect copyright.PENANAJWBk0fto63
311Please respect copyright.PENANARHS4rgg40R
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."311Please respect copyright.PENANAGvW66ASS17
311Please respect copyright.PENANAupZUcl4slI
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.311Please respect copyright.PENANAo7b8InvpAC
311Please respect copyright.PENANAyl83QrYrTC
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.311Please respect copyright.PENANARYD9CZ9uRp
311Please respect copyright.PENANAtg0QqrbSEx
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.311Please respect copyright.PENANAOs7KnjhIIq
311Please respect copyright.PENANACZa0owgG8L
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I thought maybe..."311Please respect copyright.PENANAABPqcD3ltR
311Please respect copyright.PENANAKESoc2Q13t
She trailed off, her eyes filled with disappointment. Jun felt a pang of guilt. He wanted to say something, anything, but the words wouldn't come.311Please respect copyright.PENANAN59JlehLpV
311Please respect copyright.PENANAKNnZJvlBbN
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.311Please respect copyright.PENANA14ONKI8n77
311Please respect copyright.PENANAGDUQKBdPiB
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking. He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.311Please respect copyright.PENANAccAbxKzLbG
311Please respect copyright.PENANAmwVJSbnIlL
As Yuki walked away, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness. She had been so nervous to ask him out, but she had finally worked up the courage. And now, it seemed like it was all for nothing.311Please respect copyright.PENANAYSTGzMp8kp
311Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZmqqXWd1v
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.311Please respect copyright.PENANA1AlfmGItfV
311Please respect copyright.PENANA6sBpef0ivu
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.311Please respect copyright.PENANAgJVUWHzjkB
311Please respect copyright.PENANAvpOiray5VC
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."311Please respect copyright.PENANAvqQOhxFvrZ
311Please respect copyright.PENANAuBaiQ4XzNa
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."311Please respect copyright.PENANANzdCHEkOba
311Please respect copyright.PENANAc6jhfdl7L2
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."311Please respect copyright.PENANA6xLCyiLuVw
311Please respect copyright.PENANADx59E3cFaF
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."311Please respect copyright.PENANAAc8zHHVOo8
311Please respect copyright.PENANAgcomyACg1A
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."311Please respect copyright.PENANAiq6lV8PmoO
311Please respect copyright.PENANAvxFRRgi2Le
But deep down, she knew Hana was right. She had a crush on Jun, and she wasn't going to let this one little misunderstanding stop her. She was determined to win his heart, even if it meant facing her own fears and insecurities.311Please respect copyright.PENANAH6G9k1hfcX
