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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAUE2mlHyKkD
146Please respect copyright.PENANASUMrmszg7H
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANApBEhNqHDKY
146Please respect copyright.PENANACLhlDbreVD
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."146Please respect copyright.PENANAA2ytzdbsuz
146Please respect copyright.PENANAp1E5zgawp8
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAtWylYJ1Yg9
146Please respect copyright.PENANA9GYiEbjiKN
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."146Please respect copyright.PENANAdnH5rcxDMk
146Please respect copyright.PENANAvY8BTzx77w
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.146Please respect copyright.PENANAf7IBxOPOft
146Please respect copyright.PENANAy3xtlawqQK
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.146Please respect copyright.PENANAG6k7d5bZPR
146Please respect copyright.PENANA0VLKjsJIAy
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."146Please respect copyright.PENANAhv08c9gXqQ
146Please respect copyright.PENANAx8PyOOldMr
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAf7pzn3iLoI
146Please respect copyright.PENANASCWOVoobCk
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.146Please respect copyright.PENANAzjcpuEjrHy
146Please respect copyright.PENANAlT4OlzqrNi
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."146Please respect copyright.PENANA8sk7MniB6e
146Please respect copyright.PENANAQxPNdCutJT
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"146Please respect copyright.PENANA21TtzvKue7
146Please respect copyright.PENANACqs0dW5iJ6
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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAKjVxty2gmM
146Please respect copyright.PENANAF2dKS8XHVZ
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"146Please respect copyright.PENANA6R2jXGi8Tw
146Please respect copyright.PENANA9nYttMHoPc
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."146Please respect copyright.PENANABffhJcDE3d
146Please respect copyright.PENANACohCxaWMW1
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.146Please respect copyright.PENANALPjAHish2N
146Please respect copyright.PENANAIdWBQbC3wV
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANArSA8b4PGFe
146Please respect copyright.PENANALvAtipPtQT
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.146Please respect copyright.PENANA4YvXwncpu3
146Please respect copyright.PENANAYFW6F7VbfC
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANA3kzex8rs3I
146Please respect copyright.PENANAmPw2oSKpEe
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.146Please respect copyright.PENANAsIu9Q63O0M
146Please respect copyright.PENANAJqtcMldtjs
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."146Please respect copyright.PENANA80ODFrZOvj
146Please respect copyright.PENANASliLI1j3Ya
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAFnu5G1OWWX
146Please respect copyright.PENANAxxGx98fGH2
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."146Please respect copyright.PENANAlFQre2W9di
146Please respect copyright.PENANAG7mux8TyCD
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.146Please respect copyright.PENANACalklaIXne
146Please respect copyright.PENANAbB7XUs3lxN
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."146Please respect copyright.PENANAftlXSWzpuL
146Please respect copyright.PENANA7duUETeXg6
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
