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.271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbbVss0s8c

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.271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFbadxPfei
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwuhg5dhrb
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFE9uVFrjr
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqKUccHvXt
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLd5JI3byf
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXOipXCrbJ
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40VPMK9ZND
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP72gKtdOSb
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmWYf4epyV
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AO3AvND4W
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmsxE0kzv2
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbD4CTVgkE
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2KoHF9rUZ
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyQZRNZJPq
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.271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88W04ZBMnS
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iW9ICw1No
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHAsihNhr7
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbDLPQ5zF1
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqEXkkIi5A
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKUvmaV5FX
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXIwKehOkC
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRIJZZ3YY0
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."271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj8wDZ7XUL
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzsi7xyEPF
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPepc4gy6kw
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB8gyuiFyW
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbARv5zWxn
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR7ZPwv3Zr
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYp9ziuUH9
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYNedH6RF4
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.271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXgxXw3Tiw
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yWJXNBdJo
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DAcbyVX3P
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKLBwFSJPT
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.271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIgFdFydI9
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB7QkIG7zN
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRQH5VkqIr
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs5pgfoKEQ
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N23qTO0aD
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bKWEfGtjg
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.271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbv6M0JS9i
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWflnrbfDk1
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3vlDifIvH
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJryfPnyyK9
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PC6EEpd2u
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyxbTYYlIw
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmZGdqndoG
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnKHMjAUGt
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
