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.313Please respect copyright.PENANAVEzR8WSGgq
313Please respect copyright.PENANAALOROjBTcr
"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"313Please respect copyright.PENANAbR3hI8dMz0
313Please respect copyright.PENANAMjx1HExhDS
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.313Please respect copyright.PENANAo0RPdXIK2T
313Please respect copyright.PENANAulp6TouFhY
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.313Please respect copyright.PENANAxotkqXU7SY
313Please respect copyright.PENANA7nDiBe0boY
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?"313Please respect copyright.PENANAbeiRzIUSux
313Please respect copyright.PENANAHI0i2hIAYL
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.313Please respect copyright.PENANAmMRVwOmIql
313Please respect copyright.PENANA7RuiZEhKSq
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."313Please respect copyright.PENANAreOmQpJOzc
313Please respect copyright.PENANAsO3YMnTu0d
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."313Please respect copyright.PENANAKot7YEUQiG
313Please respect copyright.PENANA3zNPAhq0Yl
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."313Please respect copyright.PENANAb2rRikwtj4
313Please respect copyright.PENANAcdKvGdZieS
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.313Please respect copyright.PENANA7GVaUbOWaT
313Please respect copyright.PENANA4RIoyMlnrt
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.313Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2XjHkiBOK
313Please respect copyright.PENANAMsq8jYdtyU
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.313Please respect copyright.PENANAP0754Bmfnk
313Please respect copyright.PENANA62Lgt9I6zX
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I thought maybe..."313Please respect copyright.PENANAXPs0ucYPmP
313Please respect copyright.PENANAsYv7GNptBg
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.313Please respect copyright.PENANAjlyyvG6WoQ
313Please respect copyright.PENANAcprL4pUJcG
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.313Please respect copyright.PENANA4QLTJxHDZE
313Please respect copyright.PENANAqWomW1TrmV
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking. He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.313Please respect copyright.PENANAuEVLqbo6bB
313Please respect copyright.PENANABYXCklmx0d
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.313Please respect copyright.PENANAUjlW4Eet48
313Please respect copyright.PENANAWs9b3z28RC
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.313Please respect copyright.PENANAoJTn1oEkgF
313Please respect copyright.PENANAvAY66E9ZKC
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.313Please respect copyright.PENANAghg5xbnCM8
313Please respect copyright.PENANAz7mTOyx7Kf
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."313Please respect copyright.PENANAhwO6bxApA1
313Please respect copyright.PENANAsewGLtGNNi
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."313Please respect copyright.PENANAjsyEnB7UWT
313Please respect copyright.PENANAXzYLFaJIgV
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."313Please respect copyright.PENANAxuIliDTIvp
313Please respect copyright.PENANAjiTMaPi22U
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."313Please respect copyright.PENANATeJcEpTa5Z
313Please respect copyright.PENANAdsKNKlkyB3
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."313Please respect copyright.PENANALWbD9Ymh15
313Please respect copyright.PENANA4PUNvAVobA
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.313Please respect copyright.PENANAMy7yzcl7tw
