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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzfGOcCSlQ
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhHm2lVuwK
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmCYQCCvGv
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN91hlf0zjC
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxcqjLhRcY
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjYzQix9sB
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZZRFUzvaS
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXPcZYmMXN
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcmV3vytZm
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EUCSks7uG
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CpqRnMx8I
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBL3SXwugQ
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZIDryC3ai
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEy1W4PL71
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoTZMQNEx9
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB46hLFIkE
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4ylgYwRRk
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXLm9tL1Of
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuKtrlJlTz
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jgbT2QdBH
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5Cdlbzcz1
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ3iGq3hcD
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGpzz6PBb9
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ft28Ji8Q9
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."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfOOCwk7Jz
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33SWNOjr9W
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvES6Lav7jU
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZKuztNsOo
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZWZ9GRvyL
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd25MSyJFxW
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VRJnbZPYl
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamCfNwFjAG
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEaRyatvj1
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaD3XpRvob
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCBdMnwTGI
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8HHvJKUoU
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiDrwbccSx
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZr7TcsKfd
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8yOkPPGQ7
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDON6PS1um
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupZqJ2y0ej
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xr2f3lGfq
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RT5HoLcmK
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeenqaZKBJF
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZIYoXH8yk
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykksrhRlE6
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDVHCZ3NbL
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51IsVf2C8J
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT3Mm8cus3
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK7xn5QBE1
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
