Hana found Yuki in the cafeteria, surrounded by her usual group of friends. She waited until Yuki was alone before approaching her.230Please respect copyright.PENANAgCzp9OskDF

"Yuki, I need to talk to you about something," Hana said, her voice serious.230Please respect copyright.PENANAQvmvI1I4ve
230Please respect copyright.PENANANsOSXz4Re0
Yuki raised an eyebrow. "What's up?"230Please respect copyright.PENANAc3881qVjTD
230Please respect copyright.PENANA1P8et4AWwz
Hana took a deep breath. "It's about Jun," she said. "He's been acting really strange lately, and I think something's wrong."230Please respect copyright.PENANAENT83u0r8M
230Please respect copyright.PENANA1tqsBEtEhc
Yuki's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"230Please respect copyright.PENANA9k3BYLQ1xz
230Please respect copyright.PENANAeUupt7Gz8Y
Hana told Yuki about Aiko and the blood-infused chocolate. Yuki listened intently, her expression growing increasingly concerned.230Please respect copyright.PENANAlaSvMT9Jc6

"That's... that's crazy," Yuki said, shaking her head. "I can't believe someone would do that."230Please respect copyright.PENANApsKG1OKxWt
230Please respect copyright.PENANAqTgFoFBGS3
"I know," Hana said. "Jun's really scared. He doesn't know what to do."230Please respect copyright.PENANAlEjjPWfuwd
230Please respect copyright.PENANA1yxjzm6An4
Yuki thought for a moment. She knew Jun was shy, but she had never imagined he was being harassed by someone like Aiko. She had to help him.230Please respect copyright.PENANA0JAFJGMbrg
230Please respect copyright.PENANA7awYwu6GOq
"I'm going to talk to Jun," Yuki said, her voice firm. "He needs to know that he's not alone."230Please respect copyright.PENANA9skD0PWWC3

Yuki walked over to Jun, who was sitting alone at a table in the corner of the cafeteria. He looked up when he saw her, his face pale and drawn.230Please respect copyright.PENANAG14pe11py4

"Jun, can I talk to you?" Yuki asked, her voice soft.230Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ptnd487uw
230Please respect copyright.PENANAC4aa4GFXSZ
Jun hesitated. He was still nervous about what had happened the other day, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief when he saw Yuki.230Please respect copyright.PENANA2XCC3CrJhq
230Please respect copyright.PENANAkq0bfXRAkA
"Sure," he mumbled, looking down at his hands.230Please respect copyright.PENANAhcACv8iNq8
230Please respect copyright.PENANAC5IwyEaM2q
Yuki sat down across from him. "I heard about what happened with Aiko," she said. "I'm so sorry."230Please respect copyright.PENANAlP1evBrCF6
230Please respect copyright.PENANA5kn3tLVdO3
Jun looked up at her, his eyes filled with surprise. "You know?" he asked.230Please respect copyright.PENANAF3SsCA5qVr

230Please respect copyright.PENANA0Dkt5novXB
Jun felt a wave of relief wash over him. He wasn't alone. Yuki cared about him.230Please respect copyright.PENANA2iBb6YELQg
230Please respect copyright.PENANAhRxyZT9M9c
"I don't know what to do," Jun said, his voice trembling. "Aiko is really scary."230Please respect copyright.PENANAOTPOXmqgOl
230Please respect copyright.PENANAZLc4t7JTLG
Yuki smiled. "Don't worry," she said. "I'll help you."230Please respect copyright.PENANAZIaPsVsDwD
230Please respect copyright.PENANADKvWGJA8Ou
She reached out and took his hand. "We'll figure this out together."230Please respect copyright.PENANA8EaeUaSquP

Jun felt a warmth spread through his chest. He had never felt so safe, so protected. He was finally starting to believe that maybe, just maybe, he could find happiness with Yuki.
