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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73j2E1gd24

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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQR7w9TjNs

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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXs136dNHs
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R86jDtETI
"Yuki," he whispered, his voice a little shaky. "I think Aiko is watching us."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdC3UtS07e
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuZgyqXKny
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhyyKnKl4D
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlH0ym6VHH
"Don't worry, Jun," Yuki said, her voice firm. "She can't hurt us."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrrSsKsDVQ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyrykqq2Mb
But Jun couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. He felt a sense of dread creeping over him.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VaDMbFQo8
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBR4MvvbTi
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHur1jFN9OO
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQOG7PQ8fW
"Jun," she said, her voice low and menacing. "I have something for you."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmYpiCiXfr
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCJamzuJVx
She reached into her bag and pulled out a small, intricately carved wooden box. It was beautiful, but something about it made Jun uneasy.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1U9XtUEMB
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj0Rb4eYg9
"What is it?" he asked, his voice hesitant.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNHkjMWnaE
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPPlX6fJRL
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "It's a gift," she said. "I hope you like it."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89UfL4o9PD
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpiwIi3PTn
She handed him the box, and Jun hesitated for a moment before taking it. He felt a sense of dread creeping over him.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqisvPvrWkA
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIGPSRpdNb
"Thanks, Aiko," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "But I don't think I can accept it."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59TP14IFUX
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB7TQaeicD
Aiko's smile faltered. "Why not?" she asked, her voice tinged with hurt.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRD9H4Le3W
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXHzc7jbtl
"I... I don't want to make things awkward," Jun said, trying to find the right words. "I'm happy with Yuki."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdrtHtkVeb
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOwz0UI6RZ
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."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoqe9b4gV4
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT291DdMdT
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz2UOz2QRc
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGMFWI4Wxr
"I appreciate your feelings, Aiko," he said, trying to be kind. "But I'm happy with Yuki."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6cPkuVSa1
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixOJHnE63s
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS78IsBSTcW
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiCeiHNdtk
As Jun turned to face Yuki, he noticed that she was staring at the box in his hand with a look of concern.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsXAEfN60p
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmDkb9Uyyj
"What is it, Jun?" she asked, her voice soft. "What did Aiko give you?"133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJyJJAuG8p
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRTi612ZYp
Jun hesitated for a moment before handing her the box.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVZk74yN78
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwRqKLdN4L
"I don't know," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "She just said it was a gift."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZKirZBxD1
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQXznrkPNU
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw05MNRD7RX
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpD5013SeL
"This is... this is strange," she said, her voice a little shaky. "I don't think we should keep it."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJHPpPrYg2
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtFU9Ms6Mg
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7jEkEdBl0
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfPjVRUgRr
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IUmiTgAEF
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs7XQ4WTsg
"Jun," she said, her voice urgent. "We need to get out of here."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2ytF55qSK
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg83kaO7eDS
She grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the booth. They ran through the crowded courtyard, their hearts pounding in their chests.
