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.292Please respect copyright.PENANAsUnjl8MpFn
292Please respect copyright.PENANADKSoGSQnOQ
"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"292Please respect copyright.PENANAEgOpvOEw5q
292Please respect copyright.PENANAYzHvNBIZgH
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.292Please respect copyright.PENANANbaVz9KK24
292Please respect copyright.PENANAf0MQrLUmd6
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.292Please respect copyright.PENANAV1YQ0Fex5I
292Please respect copyright.PENANAEEbmKvHPvi
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?"292Please respect copyright.PENANALPWDebtOQe
292Please respect copyright.PENANAD4jGUCiYQM
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.292Please respect copyright.PENANAdIERxmcKWv
292Please respect copyright.PENANA2X8hiz1TE1
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."292Please respect copyright.PENANAsghbPXEbkS
292Please respect copyright.PENANAuLcFEEl1v0
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."292Please respect copyright.PENANAL4eeU3cxmB
292Please respect copyright.PENANAhtMEyuTrYz
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."292Please respect copyright.PENANAMudelyGuTy
292Please respect copyright.PENANAZpvAft5Vr6
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.292Please respect copyright.PENANAiS94IjqsTu
292Please respect copyright.PENANAWrjywIgmtN
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.292Please respect copyright.PENANAcYhLdcgbMl
292Please respect copyright.PENANAwkv8q48WOd
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.292Please respect copyright.PENANAkYPVd5XDMe
292Please respect copyright.PENANA5MlKTWBYZM
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I thought maybe..."292Please respect copyright.PENANAW9oR57u6pc
292Please respect copyright.PENANA4lcSNjzdJP
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.292Please respect copyright.PENANAQndYWOGqkf
292Please respect copyright.PENANAsniIE0sOlL
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.292Please respect copyright.PENANAst1qYwtUSA
292Please respect copyright.PENANAliqRT443YQ
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking. He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.292Please respect copyright.PENANA1qLmTNlLVe
292Please respect copyright.PENANAp5wE3B8Jp2
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.292Please respect copyright.PENANAviOqvxlNrT
292Please respect copyright.PENANArmJl7Asifv
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.292Please respect copyright.PENANA8GIK3HmcbJ
292Please respect copyright.PENANAPxM6WgxSv6
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.292Please respect copyright.PENANAskn5ZCAnrN
292Please respect copyright.PENANAXNQnV9EXUZ
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."292Please respect copyright.PENANA2UJX5GzSPM
292Please respect copyright.PENANAKk4dgwMvYh
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."292Please respect copyright.PENANA5iDnGNf894
292Please respect copyright.PENANAQa2yC53zua
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."292Please respect copyright.PENANAzhCi354IFA
292Please respect copyright.PENANAd9qVsdmv4h
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."292Please respect copyright.PENANADAeO48X4NK
292Please respect copyright.PENANAyteEwUYIXD
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."292Please respect copyright.PENANAiTTGOv2ZGr
292Please respect copyright.PENANAQanVexEbTn
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.292Please respect copyright.PENANAUB3z8IYvz3
