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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAGe9niC7jvI
214Please respect copyright.PENANAeCW9GfFdC4
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANA7cecWC7xyh
214Please respect copyright.PENANAkKQjiEsLL1
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."214Please respect copyright.PENANARuzr7gVAqC
214Please respect copyright.PENANAe8AXLCBqmu
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"214Please respect copyright.PENANA2KrCFVHSbm
214Please respect copyright.PENANAibFqI5F8ND
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."214Please respect copyright.PENANAwg7aQcu9mS
214Please respect copyright.PENANAWbn3FcMg65
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.214Please respect copyright.PENANAm0uUjvNUuJ
214Please respect copyright.PENANAwiEAJeusiJ
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.214Please respect copyright.PENANAYKr2T4Bodc
214Please respect copyright.PENANAFmZflN9oJB
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."214Please respect copyright.PENANAxEuQjW4w8Q
214Please respect copyright.PENANAZkJAfTGa8J
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAamSULJovxD
214Please respect copyright.PENANAuVcvDf5Bim
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.214Please respect copyright.PENANAXswBzqdG12
214Please respect copyright.PENANAD2QI0ImmIn
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."214Please respect copyright.PENANAbruCaRKMVM
214Please respect copyright.PENANArs8EitbhJQ
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"214Please respect copyright.PENANAQX2WrYG4co
214Please respect copyright.PENANA9NpyKI8VL7
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."214Please respect copyright.PENANAAFVtL8Eh5J
214Please respect copyright.PENANALphxvIiB8t
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"214Please respect copyright.PENANAVYk3A2B6uf
214Please respect copyright.PENANAv05TGdM4a5
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."214Please respect copyright.PENANADrh6dC3hix
214Please respect copyright.PENANAoNxb8Qg302
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.214Please respect copyright.PENANAoJxq7TZ3ni
214Please respect copyright.PENANAY7NsrmAzus
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAN8zOr0qc39
214Please respect copyright.PENANAg1ubbOpydO
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.214Please respect copyright.PENANAEwkbFauIHT
214Please respect copyright.PENANA9qV3X9wU2z
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAS35z3YJTrI
214Please respect copyright.PENANAemWz6spj5f
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.214Please respect copyright.PENANAlX8zQz2q9d
214Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4Wt5c9YvW
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."214Please respect copyright.PENANAO2HKpVawRU
214Please respect copyright.PENANA3zgPSzk3V8
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAC7BVzsBKSz
214Please respect copyright.PENANACqv8vkgwwa
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."214Please respect copyright.PENANAKJ7p89qgzN
214Please respect copyright.PENANA5iKRLnpnur
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.214Please respect copyright.PENANAvRpEbATTQX
214Please respect copyright.PENANApJ2Wtzk3SE
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."214Please respect copyright.PENANAb7Ow9udZxQ
214Please respect copyright.PENANAh6LjD9Oi4T
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
