The next day at school, Jun was trying to avoid Yuki as much as possible. He was still mortified by the previous day's events and couldn't bring himself to face her.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmR9gMbKH0
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOZ7qouSS1
As he was walking through the hallway, he bumped into Aiko, a girl he'd only ever seen in passing. She was known for her eccentric style and her slightly unsettling obsession with Jun.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc9zDPPi8Q
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopQbmWtLL8
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8Dgwe28Mj
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TaUFIRmnW
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCL9pZlEm6
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Dtb0RPgeA
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tiBcvQCMq
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zUBVmTLgJ
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlOsgxKl0u
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYLL5RAZyO
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOQckOkzN7
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTHUU0iGLD
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZgPOefXNw
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu63MfQP6nj
Jun opened the box. Inside, he found a small, heart-shaped box of chocolate. But something about the chocolate looked... off. It had a strange, almost metallic sheen to it.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7aUrddsyM
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgw3w0tx1u
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7EVlgVV7r
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzywTQlKhi
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR2W6TjcEE
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3GLolOvJl
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJJfQvW0BT
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5UuqQf3cW
Aiko leaned in close to Jun, her breath hot on his cheek. "I put a little bit of my blood in it," she whispered. "I wanted to give you a piece of my heart."144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeWMuCMDy4
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxrr6JwxVO
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxxhMYaDae
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdpRHgjTIE
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiywfvWOgXH
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqGVrm4ogD
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncX8NO5KVO
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEhW9vV0up
He ran all the way to the library, where he could finally catch his breath. He was still shaking, his mind reeling from the encounter.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWn3vGrrI4
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKeW9MRuYy
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WsPdoDmxC
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5o5pv18Od
Jun didn't know what to say. He couldn't tell her about Aiko's blood-infused chocolate. It was just too weird, too embarrassing.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xLNpA8PYl
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kTQ61fy7c
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O6iUrEew3
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijjFzW9s14
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRETgYWfDyS
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYluOXsdvDR
Jun sighed. He knew he couldn't keep it from her any longer. He told her about Aiko's chocolate, about the metallic sheen, about the blood.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh1WbRwE4v
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqy1TYuGE3
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJlFaJamtz
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVXpoSVf5I
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuBXWco4td
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEWAJsafqz
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZnakGWPyf
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww1ItKX15P
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
