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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAQa1vG8ls8W

"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"206Please respect copyright.PENANAxps5uODhYQ
206Please respect copyright.PENANAtomFss7qWz
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAGUCaABpjZX
206Please respect copyright.PENANA0OmPf1alkk
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.206Please respect copyright.PENANANuMqjTlJNQ
206Please respect copyright.PENANAY7KVOzcNZV
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?"206Please respect copyright.PENANAWlZ6hSpvVT
206Please respect copyright.PENANAzH5MzfsBJ6
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAQlbp274Qn1
206Please respect copyright.PENANA67MncK2AyN
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."206Please respect copyright.PENANAdMDepH17bg
206Please respect copyright.PENANAXcpkZfzLR9
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."206Please respect copyright.PENANAJc8Vzz4Len
206Please respect copyright.PENANAUn3VZx3csh
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."206Please respect copyright.PENANAmUEjdMltlA
206Please respect copyright.PENANA111Dxi0JSk
He couldn't finish his sentence. He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.206Please respect copyright.PENANA0QwV51grQu
206Please respect copyright.PENANAQX9fSiuTrp
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.206Please respect copyright.PENANAoxHeodIMQZ
206Please respect copyright.PENANA7VpCUbHzB3
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.206Please respect copyright.PENANAJnHVNn8iOW
206Please respect copyright.PENANALYleNgLdft
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I thought maybe..."206Please respect copyright.PENANAemEyGwzcBZ
206Please respect copyright.PENANAk88zxosOoX
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAAaSesd1sqx
206Please respect copyright.PENANA1geD3ltUJH
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.206Please respect copyright.PENANAk1qO2NDb7D
206Please respect copyright.PENANAUGTEVBGfMS
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking. He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.206Please respect copyright.PENANADX1DhvOM5R
206Please respect copyright.PENANAvzyYweQ48F
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAO0qFuiCwni
206Please respect copyright.PENANApmLtqgUMFd
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.206Please respect copyright.PENANAONzAlzyxw0
206Please respect copyright.PENANAX6MfatLn5P
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.206Please respect copyright.PENANAzo0l1IpBPw
206Please respect copyright.PENANAIuzpCgYnF4
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile. "Just a little... misunderstanding."206Please respect copyright.PENANACaAi3pcroK
206Please respect copyright.PENANATC3rk6wByG
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding? You were practically blushing when you asked him out."206Please respect copyright.PENANAXY4WgliEkj
206Please respect copyright.PENANAF48PYzSaQy
Yuki sighed. "I know, I know. He just... he's a little shy. But I'm not giving up on him."206Please respect copyright.PENANAV6TffNlWnT
206Please respect copyright.PENANAbUmSYZyn7c
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."206Please respect copyright.PENANAFn2cfwyVU3
206Please respect copyright.PENANAzkfLcMtlYr
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."206Please respect copyright.PENANAqu6GUvChp4
206Please respect copyright.PENANAKa2ivzURB6
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAvGjB3WI0Wg
