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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zRcBUx126

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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8a0ZZcWac

"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4duKVm4dk
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILiTVpM3JR
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjopvR7q0P
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB54pBs5dR
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBY3viKE2O
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpUZxxrPfl
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP3WdY0kiK
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutbMQcyio5
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnAuLNzGJR
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywoltMzm2D
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoXljP228G
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1k46LujAm
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkrNgRXnW4
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdeujbc4lQ
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0F74MZck9
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJmS7DLtwL
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbbKVADAxp
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDbqfeMLKs
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoz8VfE2XV
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG1X50dsvB
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."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0Zz36XnLL
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk1In7qsiO
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDizIgiam8s
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeyKIHuaQB
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8q4EbyF4c
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ0a1aQapV
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYeajTnrmg
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjAGvzRA8z
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeSaieKe2R

"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j0ChRoCED
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oCIqBWL1c
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fLZvXvkPB
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqLgbbl62t
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmoEezgq7y
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVno8VUREEh
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcScCzOsJl9
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eEfF6WN1u
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmNdOWqMIl
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8lmcNv9eg
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVZLHbsDa6
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pmo31v4bQ
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WnTroJtvo
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojIKMg1Epv
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQun25zWPj
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4lDQvofrN
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
