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.PENANAlUbnXSGPYf
312Please respect copyright.PENANAMDdRk1bE6i
"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"312Please respect copyright.PENANAAhjC8zFq7d
312Please respect copyright.PENANA8e626635l8
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.PENANAVtEnczQjl3
312Please respect copyright.PENANAlKvKElOcfR
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.312Please respect copyright.PENANAHJulV6wqI8
312Please respect copyright.PENANAFRUgdZF3eS
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.PENANAUXyKlEChQL
312Please respect copyright.PENANAx2RzW7yPER
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.PENANA25KwXTYuZT
312Please respect copyright.PENANAQpil81ZwFX
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."312Please respect copyright.PENANAaKYcv3FCUP
312Please respect copyright.PENANAMuqga9VBct
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."312Please respect copyright.PENANAQHkIx9nGmN
312Please respect copyright.PENANA6Rd7if2NFO
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."312Please respect copyright.PENANAFdPuaQ7t4N
312Please respect copyright.PENANAa9YvbCBJyG
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.312Please respect copyright.PENANATDsFu2s5h5
312Please respect copyright.PENANAKSURUFgX9S
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.312Please respect copyright.PENANAr64APVKQ4K
312Please respect copyright.PENANAV1LGeZYx0I
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.PENANAVS04TN4Jl2
312Please respect copyright.PENANAqgVKcWQqXN
"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.PENANADRibNaLqfu
312Please respect copyright.PENANAmoq9EQTJPA
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.PENANApBL8GVSGMP
312Please respect copyright.PENANA5NLQuDb4gy
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.312Please respect copyright.PENANA5GzdsgHn5M
312Please respect copyright.PENANAr2pnu2Idcd
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.PENANAYfLHVumZNy
312Please respect copyright.PENANAFxwSYsPjrk
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.PENANAwUqSCnGCOr
312Please respect copyright.PENANAFIiPNWNvQe
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.312Please respect copyright.PENANATa94EmnORq
312Please respect copyright.PENANAOaSaKvI5O9
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.312Please respect copyright.PENANA7nm6U3rzbR
312Please respect copyright.PENANAoHm6tWgkxG
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."312Please respect copyright.PENANAccq830BYSn
312Please respect copyright.PENANA2sepD4WIgk
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."312Please respect copyright.PENANAkEEPN8ve08
312Please respect copyright.PENANAqHuJZvlJst
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."312Please respect copyright.PENANAiEhSzQai0Q
312Please respect copyright.PENANAFJny8ieWi3
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."312Please respect copyright.PENANAeWkPyoQtku
312Please respect copyright.PENANAQf2zoBdeI0
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."312Please respect copyright.PENANAQjsS3TCqHS
312Please respect copyright.PENANAR1IUWp6dtp
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.PENANAGRRRzYWOrK
