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.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC24o8MZEVr
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5GL9IWw5D
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.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6oKtGMe2T
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMijarSjAzJ
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26LK1CxJNY
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaynewCJeh
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgluLDanjD2
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp9myAmC1P
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjc8WvUR1y
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3u1D5oduV
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcEUtr6p3B
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LC9IABGOe
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHxi50YREO
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1t8p2uvcV
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvpzVmf3bT
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0JkX7DESu
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.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn3xFy7Wix
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm0gwuu1vF
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTZM40zBBQ
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bYyn6jXtK
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhB0cvzqqV
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjcNqN8gWN
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItvjpsDiCY
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgUHx3UPZb
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."213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EGeg8JVwb
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XA6RdAeN5
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQeWolMB5K
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9QweofjpK
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkfiMX0EGj
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVrZfrp1ag
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpFGipK1GG
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWFimhSyQj
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.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv97z0N1vt
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeclt9xzrT
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlSmHUxD1C
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99iIVHwwFY
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.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoVk2wRcX9
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lRMCrVYXf
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gWC4qF6zi
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVT2xuFxhA
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKXlMLLcCA
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyUdiKJBAQ
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.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDYeXG8irF
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuumjws6le5
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BcaEIoHYR
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAa2LgtzD0
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqd8wsXUDL
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VqiuqmScr
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjOt7mwJQM
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dPtp2V59G
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
