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.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLNcni2o7T
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRG91zcrYb
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.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxLC2veOT1
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxvOdGe6RU
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxrweITvDE
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsNdxrIy6D
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rY5IMcZXF
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEse4bWoS1e
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UVp3rw06k
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXzPDAnK65
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9acIbCQDz
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NodV5GSiz
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bEXkln1k6
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DcSFJmy92
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4MplA3lYH
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiRTazlmG9
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.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeava67Pe1
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xs1WpMa2a
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGh2bqzb20
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FPUBZnTNC
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XUnHATJ8W
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0eeDNicdL
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML81U7rH2a
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfsRDQVwpQ
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."253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAg6SoPIxj
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW6MTNbEYE
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0YzhmyaQY
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDUSHp0Il1
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeldJHNLXI
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cEeZPl5Mq
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80nj4iG7lk
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmosbiCxpds
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.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvoK4YX2wf
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4JMTbPWPa
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJuV1adve1
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIALpGDjO8e
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.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlhTAzafMD
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd2X4BrHRI
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctjFEVMVit
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSj4cYnSaq
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR15YtNtL0I
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5rwtdNcuB
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.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QyXEEuwUD
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjSNd6PuGc
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFDCtRPLr5
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyEjPWnlPW
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhnUmbdhZw
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VKl1I70qj
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBJIzgY5Qj
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL8XhQ38uz
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
