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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jEfMSEU34
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFeKFj2UnZ
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8EuxhIae0
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfE8Iit3X3
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYUfoLCABM
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR4Fc23pLf
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6M35dbz6c
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RZdVsNk0U
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7AT7ZNCYC
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B4slsf76a
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq8x87N8PH
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaywvncZWc
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZqahSvWvZ
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ927jCuq4yE
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalkGLH9RZx
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL6OTFM2VT
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOcsFzzPx6
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuUghccZq2
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P8fgFk9Cv
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVLAzd7B4M
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWC0kXrrQA
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufXDUpA2Lg
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN1ANXhLRC
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPl4t1kTkn
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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y56e94QhG
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGI2AndpQ9
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYADpxpmgT
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0dsQExfwn
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzJFNqjVZr
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQaQ6oYeGC
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvS7qZMrFf
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhwSYU1WYp
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gMy282Xtz
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlRQ0rfKII
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB7mc6PCXt
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuFH3AuCj0
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR4kv787qa
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRncoxAF70
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9JFq9ABs5
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbKO6vOUx0
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd89mFpB5u
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPn7Y3okDL
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWPUGikyAc
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKGRRfX0tl
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDbxLtSpv1
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq1xdFdHPa
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pO2Rw2K8l
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzhNU0ai6e
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUl9GlS34q
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNaEgXMJyb
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
