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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAZn9oBdZ9Qy
323Please respect copyright.PENANAzvPr04itAw
"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"323Please respect copyright.PENANAu7qIc4QO0A
323Please respect copyright.PENANAN06vQIEAWd
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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAHMm1wtvqEx
323Please respect copyright.PENANAoodF3xKNJq
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.323Please respect copyright.PENANA9x5vTPISYc
323Please respect copyright.PENANAKBcQr1qy49
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?"323Please respect copyright.PENANAjvZEvCKVMm
323Please respect copyright.PENANA7maXigpXmK
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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAbww8UIt6cX
323Please respect copyright.PENANALhDrEguk2n
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."323Please respect copyright.PENANA0pX0I0UEK3
323Please respect copyright.PENANA6NM03fv4vo
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."323Please respect copyright.PENANAnyWmFYWbpT
323Please respect copyright.PENANApOEwGeogaE
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."323Please respect copyright.PENANA9IqFMuV7VC
323Please respect copyright.PENANAhqfdyKVcFe
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.323Please respect copyright.PENANAEJz1UdlszH
323Please respect copyright.PENANANV1CnxEPXS
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.323Please respect copyright.PENANAyvsvcomO90
323Please respect copyright.PENANASP3kGtnuLU
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.323Please respect copyright.PENANAtjSK8m4NqP
323Please respect copyright.PENANAiJb2IXI7lJ
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I thought maybe..."323Please respect copyright.PENANA0E5LGPSO1q
323Please respect copyright.PENANAZMI4E3Zc7W
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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAizqCdcNBXR
323Please respect copyright.PENANAhbwotEWQD8
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.323Please respect copyright.PENANAegroAfbnUu
323Please respect copyright.PENANAL3CInyCSwX
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking. He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.323Please respect copyright.PENANAI4cyWNOdE8
323Please respect copyright.PENANA4RtAdE9Fya
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.323Please respect copyright.PENANAoPly6HfaWn
323Please respect copyright.PENANAIgplQ4raCK
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.323Please respect copyright.PENANAAyeVE0FOs1
323Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5LU1Fsv0u
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.323Please respect copyright.PENANAAi6yQbedH4
323Please respect copyright.PENANAZQOaLrCTFE
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."323Please respect copyright.PENANARV90UD9mxJ
323Please respect copyright.PENANAwaEmFjjuVm
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."323Please respect copyright.PENANAkQNfU2bgxe
323Please respect copyright.PENANAdFzwDcx9Hn
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."323Please respect copyright.PENANAwuPJ5oVaWw
323Please respect copyright.PENANAu8xRYk2PCh
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."323Please respect copyright.PENANA9qKh9PvgBG
323Please respect copyright.PENANAEKsZDgOSJR
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."323Please respect copyright.PENANAkYMjaVMHLv
323Please respect copyright.PENANAH1yte8vj22
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.323Please respect copyright.PENANA0DYyKBLxuB
