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.PENANAD6rp3rVQD0
312Please respect copyright.PENANAxSwT5Zoebv
"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"312Please respect copyright.PENANAiismAhmOdd
312Please respect copyright.PENANAwMHcSxtED9
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.PENANAcZ50bSB4Qx
312Please respect copyright.PENANAzt1pkmCaig
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.312Please respect copyright.PENANAB0UjVSxDcR
312Please respect copyright.PENANAEimi3z2lzK
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.PENANAAPW5vOrJ7x
312Please respect copyright.PENANAQqPCtqHtox
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.PENANAnp56tEzGaK
312Please respect copyright.PENANAs1pHOBjXHh
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."312Please respect copyright.PENANAQgnz8FX1WN
312Please respect copyright.PENANAfgo29a8Fl1
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."312Please respect copyright.PENANA54Rw0AouDn
312Please respect copyright.PENANAG5MmMuxosa
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."312Please respect copyright.PENANAJiMnnAa7zZ
312Please respect copyright.PENANAQxvvz0RMWO
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.312Please respect copyright.PENANAmBDFzuyq4E
312Please respect copyright.PENANAVbLLJNIQoV
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.312Please respect copyright.PENANA9JG4VT7Kdx
312Please respect copyright.PENANACf8W3lV4eT
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.PENANAJjOeGKSdCv
312Please respect copyright.PENANAqNOycrzbAe
"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.PENANAXBCsYzYs6O
312Please respect copyright.PENANANCQO475ytr
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.PENANAsEkgTA40qG
312Please respect copyright.PENANACpOWnLUPD6
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.312Please respect copyright.PENANAc8uUfCxIe6
312Please respect copyright.PENANA2WIGO5C0kF
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.PENANAUgy0CdfVGW
312Please respect copyright.PENANAoiYRapiN6z
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.PENANAFED54h3i14
312Please respect copyright.PENANAE62FtaJ8dT
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.312Please respect copyright.PENANAWzP5gPAdFk
312Please respect copyright.PENANAV5HRkW8Rul
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.312Please respect copyright.PENANApqFacCc3Mr
312Please respect copyright.PENANA47F2xuhfeI
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."312Please respect copyright.PENANAgJZxTsYjkr
312Please respect copyright.PENANA9p41OnrvxI
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."312Please respect copyright.PENANAOFm9EXrPOb
312Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ozlke6m2t
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."312Please respect copyright.PENANARO5M6tbhus
312Please respect copyright.PENANAM16cwbb90Y
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."312Please respect copyright.PENANACD8I6arZNd
312Please respect copyright.PENANAMSP4I8KtkU
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."312Please respect copyright.PENANAOTRcLwxUCv
312Please respect copyright.PENANAX78gNXGRxG
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.PENANAvglDobjJbf
