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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2FkTHdhKe
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZfbGOUWOu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnN3RbqZsX
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyQFVYb560
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ7kuMzuMN
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtWvKsdBFZ
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPE9bmmoX0
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VtJSoApfM
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEwBKS3cUN
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKygNX56sFP
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2L4Eyb8vd
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUgTt0Yy2Z
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCbuEpCOaK
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GdnstSQsF
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriENPbOjQw
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH1fjqsa0X
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNJHHMcrGl
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZLCKw5937
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN21Ab0bFVe
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxCMu8Aryo
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdciEOX6Du2
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFivpsa49qz
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthVVZfoA2R
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCv3KAHKOi
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yok1WOVLA
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUGz79OMYd
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0xaToHG3V
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFYFPzPRYh
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6PXM5hfpe
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDP6gKa3Vh
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6Apjd3bHf
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgihreUjDAQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3Gr716tHv
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjDKQu0VIv
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK7Q98ielL
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUQ9J2DgEX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy4zg6UzxI
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkYQndMf62
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Uxh0fHNVI
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ndD0aacg4
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXTn2fchdB
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0GmiXkgG6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFdHOjedwu
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJd9j64WOY
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEgC0Sff1e
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXvwm3FgIo
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa64sxHsAU
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQnAkO0mXd
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zGPPd2Wgy
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpvsn2IKaQ
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
