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.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7aYkk1GF8
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHW28iIoiH
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.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNr5ZcUm6j
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXEfSgmRBY
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqKRMumNYa
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTO3S7o6wp
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnxyDn9Vdl
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNW8DHiEXs
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt96v8qMy8C
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcVCmMv0EL
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIhtXo5sLE
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKie1GhuEk0
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHc5LerYTA
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI2H6r0xab
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8jqlYzQaC
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiy8q9sd1k
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.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8BLqydTjx
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrWzonQbHg
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy7LYr4NVm
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgggr0513uO
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayXapseOn8
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN38CwZdrVQ
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzTJLuEMWk
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZH7bUabKz
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."222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAfkOtXPox
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPSdfjvrAm
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0111m0k47F
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSbc7zzA0M
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TYvf45PbD
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYaTq32LU8
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWUqFGRfgU
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL5Hs4GDaz
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.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzd9HW5Km3
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYfrD8Juag
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedaViWmQ9A
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMBWCYkUtp
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.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc0UijXLqe
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBJqEiuaEr
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2niKu7oTz2
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNk1TfvrNX
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6gV5C0mi1
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiekIPyPrBi
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.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaFkpLUUdf
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3vOqs8KQd
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eDZ2mAx5a
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DiWg0rkFb
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgReAXjYxJ
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYpaAb1rYZ
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST8ni8yVyi
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMnEDNI471
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
