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.255Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZgPpB7UCb
255Please respect copyright.PENANAMcL56p4gmb
"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"255Please respect copyright.PENANAmxqvD0eYy9
255Please respect copyright.PENANAt6oN6Zw8Ik
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.255Please respect copyright.PENANA5qxGbOubE3
255Please respect copyright.PENANAQcYlXHD0Rs
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.255Please respect copyright.PENANAXbGQ1sFjzT
255Please respect copyright.PENANA3zWWyiLomX
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?"255Please respect copyright.PENANA4lPZlId1YV
255Please respect copyright.PENANACkeFr2U7Nq
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.255Please respect copyright.PENANA2KOxWwyJMi
255Please respect copyright.PENANAzqA5ACCmWj
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."255Please respect copyright.PENANAEADk15NCV4
255Please respect copyright.PENANAZFgsiJgmXL
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."255Please respect copyright.PENANAocSAedLB37
255Please respect copyright.PENANA4pZkhwmfiE
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."255Please respect copyright.PENANA9yb3FpQUz6
255Please respect copyright.PENANAl5pX8XpdwJ
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.255Please respect copyright.PENANA5gQpCW0Tg7
255Please respect copyright.PENANAKSfLOTrcq8
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.255Please respect copyright.PENANAGMYxxNB96e
255Please respect copyright.PENANAA1QQVXKydc
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.255Please respect copyright.PENANAaqKj7VlWnY
255Please respect copyright.PENANAD6WF3nbOb2
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I thought maybe..."255Please respect copyright.PENANALrmSHME4wu
255Please respect copyright.PENANAuOr76eEu9M
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.255Please respect copyright.PENANAOHVkLs4PxB
255Please respect copyright.PENANAJujJC5YD5I
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.255Please respect copyright.PENANANeUxkdu0JR
255Please respect copyright.PENANAwe5GgtWOJ4
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking. He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.255Please respect copyright.PENANAkOIY2AcFmU
255Please respect copyright.PENANArXHbbITjGv
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.255Please respect copyright.PENANAAoD8HJnSEy
255Please respect copyright.PENANAYkZtDRa2Fu
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.255Please respect copyright.PENANAdgwLJOlkgd
255Please respect copyright.PENANARPZ26yoiLC
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.255Please respect copyright.PENANA1zh9NTSCHL
255Please respect copyright.PENANA7TrQRzN0tt
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."255Please respect copyright.PENANAeMh6SHIzkY
255Please respect copyright.PENANAcitHJ6ykE0
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."255Please respect copyright.PENANAhcynjiV3Wr
255Please respect copyright.PENANAmOr7EgFuf9
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."255Please respect copyright.PENANAzmfJUCR8di
255Please respect copyright.PENANAXkE3OTyIQT
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."255Please respect copyright.PENANA2yNsIsPD88
255Please respect copyright.PENANAqQ01sgzEep
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."255Please respect copyright.PENANAGoXajF4s4o
255Please respect copyright.PENANAFSAjlYwwwb
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.255Please respect copyright.PENANANaaGdk0HdY
