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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkETe4JA0od

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6srKAtR2vg
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHcws5ikuI
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK83qTM0WEp
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoFH0fhGsN
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33DWbM6Q17
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH69gKpMPm
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutuRNgkMpL
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz5IS5qcle
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlih7NTBFW
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C05AjDTPk
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP33UCZlsj
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR5jS2pLqD
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mS5ublCrU
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTBoi93SzI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6zpNQ7plj
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2o11Xzjtz
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYL4EssfTT
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuSkwgbIif
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFknq1atTNm
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTICIhMaXx
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tGoCCQVLx
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKCZLWyel6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vdq9KIpBw
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKmPr5pOW0
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWERt4hyZJH
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y9TvpytK0
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP4bzWqS7i
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tNG0gTp0r
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdGyYanYCm
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2EJnZzuXg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX8csG7A2V
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1oAoPUcAO
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BLw1319es
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ff2iN86De
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8PraOAk5T
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JS1Z51fPq
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLisZCyv684
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9fgLRdObe
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tY4p5CO1t
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP97ioD8UsE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz07zOjaiQH
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy5WlIURBK
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38VXqN2lyo
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zLx7FSErO
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoarPoDGxp
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwnXx9N9Y1
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0L8mJeZJF
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCf7NZZdym
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
