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.PENANAXuYtBeHdbz

"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"312Please respect copyright.PENANAfnAgxI1EyA
312Please respect copyright.PENANAoTTz8o56d6
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.PENANAosulE98gtl
312Please respect copyright.PENANAzCYi9BLniY
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.312Please respect copyright.PENANA7kYIZzllmo
312Please respect copyright.PENANAx1COACxQeP
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.PENANAH6TOmUbxsh
312Please respect copyright.PENANADnrf6iPNSd
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.PENANAwNGxqlfMWh
312Please respect copyright.PENANAuYPSwI6xzi
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."312Please respect copyright.PENANAIBJ5NTF3vt
312Please respect copyright.PENANAApVYIRC4jb
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."312Please respect copyright.PENANAOeb3vZHIFC
312Please respect copyright.PENANAAlPPRsFVBV
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."312Please respect copyright.PENANA2GtPF6dHGD
312Please respect copyright.PENANAi1xkmPgbCN
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.312Please respect copyright.PENANAKmMdG0RoFE
312Please respect copyright.PENANAGqtEF9ApLr
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.312Please respect copyright.PENANAy926OtGvcf
312Please respect copyright.PENANAVcuvXGLEDu
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.PENANAfL09MYDeID
312Please respect copyright.PENANAZvhYJ2rPp2
"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.PENANAmFYrvsRFop
312Please respect copyright.PENANAV7zqGoCPq2
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.PENANAbXUC9aiq2M
312Please respect copyright.PENANAdpWnXb0WVz
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.312Please respect copyright.PENANASmdytqr6jw
312Please respect copyright.PENANAKKUaXTfD4h
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.PENANAOFsAg8TrUV
312Please respect copyright.PENANAlWPV4zOPJ7
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.PENANA0twnS2wtm8
312Please respect copyright.PENANARXf0sInc77
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.312Please respect copyright.PENANAMN1FLGNITZ
312Please respect copyright.PENANABHqNXR3rEq
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.312Please respect copyright.PENANAtmq7r2LFIk
312Please respect copyright.PENANAxfbGWvBsmY
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."312Please respect copyright.PENANAcjFMG6upaB
312Please respect copyright.PENANAsgjwpaIV00
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."312Please respect copyright.PENANAX8HuRN8YKX
312Please respect copyright.PENANAC8JaSL2rXw
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."312Please respect copyright.PENANABFPdkKP3vt
312Please respect copyright.PENANAinrBLedRSl
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."312Please respect copyright.PENANARQo2DoFxmG
312Please respect copyright.PENANAIAhupfu3h6
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."312Please respect copyright.PENANA0pPIkqawmo
312Please respect copyright.PENANAGJBwHoya2r
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.PENANAnjBITTTKMO
