The school bell rang, signaling the end of another grueling day. Jun, as usual, was the last one to leave the classroom, his nose buried in a book. He was so engrossed in his reading that he didn't notice Yuki standing in the doorway, watching him with a soft smile.312Please respect copyright.PENANAJzPxgPbolV
312Please respect copyright.PENANA6hkDy7l3Yi
"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"312Please respect copyright.PENANAD3yNict5r9
312Please respect copyright.PENANAIB6rW7v1xv
Jun's heart skipped a beat. Yuki, the school's most popular girl, was talking to him? He quickly closed his book, his cheeks flushing red.312Please respect copyright.PENANARZvaEiedEP
312Please respect copyright.PENANANku7mKuS1k
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.312Please respect copyright.PENANAdGPoXIhb7W
312Please respect copyright.PENANALmXw2avJK6
Yuki took a deep breath. "I... I wanted to ask you something," she said, her eyes meeting his. "Would you... would you like to go out sometime?"312Please respect copyright.PENANAv2jMHWEcvk
312Please respect copyright.PENANAHuuJ4pgWZQ
Jun's brain went blank. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Yuki, the girl of his dreams, had just asked him out on a date.312Please respect copyright.PENANAgfkc5PjRsE
312Please respect copyright.PENANAuHPzhHIObf
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."312Please respect copyright.PENANAxdi6o91pV5
312Please respect copyright.PENANA5fJcya4yky
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."312Please respect copyright.PENANAGPRyH86JOJ
312Please respect copyright.PENANASaXLE5fOKb
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."312Please respect copyright.PENANAUa9lT6Qitg
312Please respect copyright.PENANAY5lv0pBKyw
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.312Please respect copyright.PENANAnkngXJFnzL
312Please respect copyright.PENANAyj8vAZ8Bur
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.312Please respect copyright.PENANArbNS3n7Nbl
312Please respect copyright.PENANAsDQOaGM0vt
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.312Please respect copyright.PENANAAGIp478j7I
312Please respect copyright.PENANAALjEsTciGc
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I thought maybe..."312Please respect copyright.PENANA13CcDUXIPC
312Please respect copyright.PENANA3q3VdAfDF4
She trailed off, her eyes filled with disappointment. Jun felt a pang of guilt. He wanted to say something, anything, but the words wouldn't come.312Please respect copyright.PENANAo4KT0WOK7h
312Please respect copyright.PENANAbJnidZWfjV
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.312Please respect copyright.PENANAG1GQAj6Ye0
312Please respect copyright.PENANAP5LrIsg0Mr
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking. He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.312Please respect copyright.PENANAq5DKPUboYv
312Please respect copyright.PENANA9szwiQ2sTw
As Yuki walked away, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness. She had been so nervous to ask him out, but she had finally worked up the courage. And now, it seemed like it was all for nothing.312Please respect copyright.PENANAwQZViPTcVQ
312Please respect copyright.PENANAfuSIk6xwUs
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.312Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ9om65zcS
312Please respect copyright.PENANA5Gc5lNaSue
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.312Please respect copyright.PENANAHkkhIC9ii5
312Please respect copyright.PENANASvtyugr79w
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."312Please respect copyright.PENANAteGUcTgmne
312Please respect copyright.PENANA3OBnUCmhhe
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."312Please respect copyright.PENANAx9wW1bGUxP
312Please respect copyright.PENANADXFNDRrDim
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."312Please respect copyright.PENANAeHGZS4G32w
312Please respect copyright.PENANAvGn7cafRsb
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."312Please respect copyright.PENANAzN8Zp0jXEI
312Please respect copyright.PENANAxo3OUfNfNK
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."312Please respect copyright.PENANA8vMnE9490H
312Please respect copyright.PENANArgAV1IjFLH
But deep down, she knew Hana was right. She had a crush on Jun, and she wasn't going to let this one little misunderstanding stop her. She was determined to win his heart, even if it meant facing her own fears and insecurities.312Please respect copyright.PENANAvNNUaGBPca
