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.285Please respect copyright.PENANAWIPXX58qBN
285Please respect copyright.PENANAaaBGEFXk2l
"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"285Please respect copyright.PENANAKH4yHAU8y4
285Please respect copyright.PENANA6aPOZNZQRE
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANA9wFGo8Sgiv
285Please respect copyright.PENANA34qBoOTLcu
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.285Please respect copyright.PENANAxnQ5c4GwRq
285Please respect copyright.PENANAt0EXOQ87hs
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?"285Please respect copyright.PENANAbNAb1hJnN9
285Please respect copyright.PENANAeG14ouFtkD
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANA6zBl5qHY3Q
285Please respect copyright.PENANAUOVarQSOYP
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."285Please respect copyright.PENANAGGHJrlvo2a
285Please respect copyright.PENANA6uRuD3bAUK
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."285Please respect copyright.PENANA8c7PExgZ1Q
285Please respect copyright.PENANAXPnOruMZZT
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."285Please respect copyright.PENANAUw39rAWcMj
285Please respect copyright.PENANAFuSjsNLrqK
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.285Please respect copyright.PENANA820PIpBswS
285Please respect copyright.PENANAxJP9khFtXh
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.285Please respect copyright.PENANA5dV9L9JrzP
285Please respect copyright.PENANAuFVHglRslw
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.285Please respect copyright.PENANAuNx1EcZoKY
285Please respect copyright.PENANAp43mkqkk6o
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I thought maybe..."285Please respect copyright.PENANAOHtUzKbGcN
285Please respect copyright.PENANAkXV1RQM87P
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANAd69OC2fTM6
285Please respect copyright.PENANAg575Xaoth2
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.285Please respect copyright.PENANAdWQZd9UaDR
285Please respect copyright.PENANAMXYqPddvfa
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking. He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.285Please respect copyright.PENANAExpHm3n2s8
285Please respect copyright.PENANAs9TPszHbsk
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANAIPqZel5R6T
285Please respect copyright.PENANAVWIRoPFEHK
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.285Please respect copyright.PENANAsVoaD16vse
285Please respect copyright.PENANARZg7hyBosu
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.285Please respect copyright.PENANAFpU9P0nmXV
285Please respect copyright.PENANAAUfpfNqJTw
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."285Please respect copyright.PENANA4CunSQ3Vqz
285Please respect copyright.PENANAJPODAMFN79
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."285Please respect copyright.PENANAS57678t7aS
285Please respect copyright.PENANARCp3wRdpqn
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."285Please respect copyright.PENANAK1bcaGZ99I
285Please respect copyright.PENANAzJAc5raVCW
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."285Please respect copyright.PENANAe8CrPRwbAt
285Please respect copyright.PENANAO5V9NDuHid
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."285Please respect copyright.PENANAaRi91dvx9p
285Please respect copyright.PENANANCDIHDm6r4
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANA1AnVWO6OLW
