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.PENANAr0vLEg7XoH
312Please respect copyright.PENANAtNfFeO4CnA
"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"312Please respect copyright.PENANAx8pXG5QTJy
312Please respect copyright.PENANALWft88MQA0
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.PENANA1QvNtVXciw
312Please respect copyright.PENANAAWhrz1aWuT
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.312Please respect copyright.PENANA8UQR1i0fOX
312Please respect copyright.PENANAaKanmhRpwm
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.PENANAK2MNf1Vn0h
312Please respect copyright.PENANAFfhS64SMsj
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.PENANAeHvv3J36fF
312Please respect copyright.PENANA70hgSZKbEp
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."312Please respect copyright.PENANAJbrhnjDqjx
312Please respect copyright.PENANAo4SrAdqmdi
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."312Please respect copyright.PENANApjt7WLx9i0
312Please respect copyright.PENANAVBHtlm9Wig
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."312Please respect copyright.PENANAHnYqcGgmTJ
312Please respect copyright.PENANANl15EXIiOe
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.312Please respect copyright.PENANAOIlTMzWVUZ
312Please respect copyright.PENANAu5tRbOqhtC
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.312Please respect copyright.PENANAfP6TEKYvFZ
312Please respect copyright.PENANAApPdTidhqv
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.PENANAlgS1v9EsuJ
312Please respect copyright.PENANAwx9bTJ32U4
"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.PENANAAfWWOUtCkv
312Please respect copyright.PENANAQpBtrj9XhO
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.PENANA2K9puuA4kJ
312Please respect copyright.PENANAgD1FJRbWYw
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.312Please respect copyright.PENANAmGYR19QgJP
312Please respect copyright.PENANAQv8XAPPDL6
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.PENANAwB6XO7cWlK
312Please respect copyright.PENANATpeNriNyXU
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.PENANASyLi78cc3K
312Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4fkREcJlG
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.312Please respect copyright.PENANAH9UOCRyxfr
312Please respect copyright.PENANAEOZJAJMpvV
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.312Please respect copyright.PENANADW9251gPnx
312Please respect copyright.PENANAuLn3KBoYUe
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."312Please respect copyright.PENANAW5pzGXGbHE
312Please respect copyright.PENANAK416Znvg1n
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."312Please respect copyright.PENANATXRj8LNoNx
312Please respect copyright.PENANA0U6fELXk5b
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."312Please respect copyright.PENANAQHe5xfVGS6
312Please respect copyright.PENANA9RojYFhvoR
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."312Please respect copyright.PENANAphxJnxut9v
312Please respect copyright.PENANAHscQtSlidf
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."312Please respect copyright.PENANANfmKnZkCpr
312Please respect copyright.PENANAy1VJoFMVWj
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.PENANAzXvdYvRlYU
