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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LTdxv4kbh
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwzqAxD2QZ
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXols9XlAc
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjHONxswGY
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9gaQk4OHL
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiuVWyaCru
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ5SdpNOkj
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sS4o6tpy2
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIiT3eo3aQ
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU3yxa6VnI
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDuNTtcF4E
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RtYfCUHHN
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMfRS0aUu9
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsKHcm8GdI
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa5xbjilJj
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlLzH6c9T7
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKORtz2VHxe
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5Mef3yfky
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80Z2nlThDV
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVjfblUxLo
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczW1Pl6ldS
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL2OKL9iH1
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSZ3Dc5EjK
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywUMlENnxz
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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUcBdTdjUd
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLcjfiyxaM
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaO5IXKJ1h
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEoXvj6ojD
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pFt0CkBu6
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiAEguphpl
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UnR3IDkIk
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYQ8OoFzKF
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobYJO2PeZ1
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEaVYUg9K6
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KHtil2fyn
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1GHbdXtLp
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCdME8eUrJ
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4vXaZjunL
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRxRucWSlc
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ddDoBWmPL
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoByVGuAqs
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAjRS0JYSP
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVlKBM6MKH
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGugfdnUO6
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR8ccOyGTP
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoDtT0np1h
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CrtB9av0X
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5muitCD6j
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QTo4KCyZm
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFJhWjB2Uw
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
