The festival was in full swing, and the courtyard was buzzing with activity. Jun and Yuki were busy manning their class booth, selling homemade crafts and snacks. They were having a blast, laughing and joking with their classmates, and enjoying the festive atmosphere.264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL1mBzBsMK

Jun was feeling a little more confident now, thanks to Yuki's unwavering support. He was even starting to enjoy the attention he was getting from other girls. But he knew that he only had eyes for Yuki.264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWEADfl5Es

As the night wore on, Jun noticed that Aiko was watching them from across the courtyard. Her eyes were fixed on him, and she had a dark, brooding expression on her face. He felt a shiver run down his spine. He knew she wouldn't let him forget about her.264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXoRzHsgTo
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaesCob2qt
"Yuki," he whispered, his voice a little shaky. "I think Aiko is watching us."264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDL096ULhA
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCIo8Jn6Lh
Yuki followed his gaze and saw Aiko standing alone in the shadows. Her eyes were fixed on them, and she had a menacing look on her face.264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo7gYeCqPN
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjXkLkiUBf
"Don't worry, Jun," Yuki said, her voice firm. "She can't hurt us."264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnYJ6eYO9A
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLzuF7QEeH
But Jun couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. He felt a sense of dread creeping over him.264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMNxXD9l35
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AchF2ASdr
As they were packing up their booth, Jun noticed that Aiko was walking towards them. Her eyes were fixed on him, and she had a determined look on her face.264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTYWn2N9hK
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rq7ux0O4j
"Jun," she said, her voice low and menacing. "I have something for you."264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudQbEsdQ5a
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrj4iwTPqL
She reached into her bag and pulled out a small, intricately carved wooden box. It was beautiful, but something about it made Jun uneasy.264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yOhJ1eurz
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89EOduLMns
"What is it?" he asked, his voice hesitant.264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZOodPDCct
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXI2uxEUX2
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "It's a gift," she said. "I hope you like it."264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgWWTIFy6I
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRed0OJUIQ7
She handed him the box, and Jun hesitated for a moment before taking it. He felt a sense of dread creeping over him.264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZvzXhpPhA
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPce3rntSG
"Thanks, Aiko," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "But I don't think I can accept it."264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0Zmq8j5JB
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHtoN5rqfm
Aiko's smile faltered. "Why not?" she asked, her voice tinged with hurt.264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hBRja2bV2
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42Qeg8JMnn
"I... I don't want to make things awkward," Jun said, trying to find the right words. "I'm happy with Yuki."264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc5IrjeKqX
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGe13RwdaM
Aiko's eyes narrowed. "You're happy with her?" she asked, her voice laced with bitterness. "But she doesn't love you the way I do."264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm6t5TnIwe
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mr3VvPyJI
Jun felt a pang of guilt. He knew Aiko was obsessed with him, but he couldn't help but feel a little flattered by her attention.264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yU2WxTGDq
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggTr1KlxGs
"I appreciate your feelings, Aiko," he said, trying to be kind. "But I'm happy with Yuki."264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM57oCUK4ad
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU8hJ3x4Nw
Aiko turned and walked away, her shoulders slumped with defeat. Jun watched her go, his heart heavy with guilt. He didn't want to hurt her feelings, but he knew he had to be honest with himself. He was in love with Yuki, and he couldn't imagine being with anyone else.264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8InaVvDpK
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqYBvIuCpD
As Jun turned to face Yuki, he noticed that she was staring at the box in his hand with a look of concern.264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKG0cyjZv9
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLEUvegtg5
"What is it, Jun?" she asked, her voice soft. "What did Aiko give you?"264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ldZx6bMhz
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7So0xaBn2L
Jun hesitated for a moment before handing her the box.264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbDbujXqYN
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIalib7RJxr
"I don't know," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "She just said it was a gift."264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh7QLyRFRG
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GgxSPo9MS
Yuki took the box and opened it. Inside, she found a small, intricately carved wooden doll. It was beautiful, but something about it made her uneasy.264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa27klvIvZi
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjh9Fy4e6g
"This is... this is strange," she said, her voice a little shaky. "I don't think we should keep it."264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kKgWZjfro
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdXU9wIc2T
As she spoke, she noticed a faint, sweet scent emanating from the doll. It was a familiar scent, one she had smelled before. It was the scent of blood.264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKZeg9FYBa
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYPxdgqnDR
Yuki's eyes widened in horror. She realized what Aiko had done. She had poisoned the doll with her own blood, hoping to use it to harm Jun.264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E1Lhq3tgg
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTTHkA1m41
"Jun," she said, her voice urgent. "We need to get out of here."264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN5n4wJ5UW
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bWXy2rWPA
She grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the booth. They ran through the crowded courtyard, their hearts pounding in their chests.
