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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQF7GSvrKc

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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE3BslxBmw

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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNfhH4izch
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiYSut8nn2
"Yuki," he whispered, his voice a little shaky. "I think Aiko is watching us."134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs1mPzadUh
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNui7lrWxa
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P9j9jMlyV
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogyWpP0YTq
"Don't worry, Jun," Yuki said, her voice firm. "She can't hurt us."134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2XlpudsTQ
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVumPfmft4g
But Jun couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. He felt a sense of dread creeping over him.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AymbKbIw7
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLKdmorux2
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDSA9zHi0O
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ5npkssqU
"Jun," she said, her voice low and menacing. "I have something for you."134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchZsJBKKRY
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTkISXYLUP
She reached into her bag and pulled out a small, intricately carved wooden box. It was beautiful, but something about it made Jun uneasy.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B9jGagVK9
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGH4ULDkM0
"What is it?" he asked, his voice hesitant.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KayswAoHc
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY8xn7Dlj1
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "It's a gift," she said. "I hope you like it."134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2Tqr4B9d7
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje4c8k9IUK
She handed him the box, and Jun hesitated for a moment before taking it. He felt a sense of dread creeping over him.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxpQkCHvXk
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyJGonbD70
"Thanks, Aiko," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "But I don't think I can accept it."134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop17xHX5X7
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabApIGlA4T
Aiko's smile faltered. "Why not?" she asked, her voice tinged with hurt.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWxV2fP8nZ
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08980qosVo
"I... I don't want to make things awkward," Jun said, trying to find the right words. "I'm happy with Yuki."134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyp67gsdwG
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWGSqm2dxo
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."134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6cx9vdsWH
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx1RYW4oDQ
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTsKzQFut1
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4KlYoRUvN
"I appreciate your feelings, Aiko," he said, trying to be kind. "But I'm happy with Yuki."134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgjEHrAGU4
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffGAHvKkFD
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm90A9mMxYn
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFsLhNYHb8
As Jun turned to face Yuki, he noticed that she was staring at the box in his hand with a look of concern.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDM5ZjFY9B
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ317WQ2UOkU
"What is it, Jun?" she asked, her voice soft. "What did Aiko give you?"134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx5KIl97YO
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOm8SeF6kt
Jun hesitated for a moment before handing her the box.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAge8R758T
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxtA1auQjR
"I don't know," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "She just said it was a gift."134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfVFrNNcZh
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkNLGiBCGS
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2WdrZNilm
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSmW6oxQ7a
"This is... this is strange," she said, her voice a little shaky. "I don't think we should keep it."134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJgSCa0oro
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06mez7EI9f
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnfziTzC6n
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6grs3QvooT
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSRwMLFa71
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkpHMuIbdm
"Jun," she said, her voice urgent. "We need to get out of here."134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxvVI1cgi0
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt453bOMrPr
She grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the booth. They ran through the crowded courtyard, their hearts pounding in their chests.
