Hana found Yuki in the cafeteria, surrounded by her usual group of friends. She waited until Yuki was alone before approaching her.181Please respect copyright.PENANAL7EwkRwEpZ

"Yuki, I need to talk to you about something," Hana said, her voice serious.181Please respect copyright.PENANA8uyiDDIqLp
181Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ2oARz9d7
Yuki raised an eyebrow. "What's up?"181Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ4xmvSyqb
181Please respect copyright.PENANAFt8Y6DKYLq
Hana took a deep breath. "It's about Jun," she said. "He's been acting really strange lately, and I think something's wrong."181Please respect copyright.PENANArNE7VmQHMa
181Please respect copyright.PENANAY2c7OvUIOB
Yuki's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"181Please respect copyright.PENANAFRWOLkUKmM
181Please respect copyright.PENANA7TlaNAyU5J
Hana told Yuki about Aiko and the blood-infused chocolate. Yuki listened intently, her expression growing increasingly concerned.181Please respect copyright.PENANAumNcxw3HcD

"That's... that's crazy," Yuki said, shaking her head. "I can't believe someone would do that."181Please respect copyright.PENANACQxk14OJka
181Please respect copyright.PENANA9sgyElZiGu
"I know," Hana said. "Jun's really scared. He doesn't know what to do."181Please respect copyright.PENANAg7HhL28NbQ
181Please respect copyright.PENANAXS4ejqvowd
Yuki thought for a moment. She knew Jun was shy, but she had never imagined he was being harassed by someone like Aiko. She had to help him.181Please respect copyright.PENANAXEEDIu8iuz

"I'm going to talk to Jun," Yuki said, her voice firm. "He needs to know that he's not alone."181Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4tmAsyRBY

Yuki walked over to Jun, who was sitting alone at a table in the corner of the cafeteria. He looked up when he saw her, his face pale and drawn.181Please respect copyright.PENANA7IL05TN5ks
181Please respect copyright.PENANAqLTjhu0X9G
"Jun, can I talk to you?" Yuki asked, her voice soft.181Please respect copyright.PENANAZeOu4rVi1z
181Please respect copyright.PENANAJBkSwBKVw4
Jun hesitated. He was still nervous about what had happened the other day, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief when he saw Yuki.181Please respect copyright.PENANAjtP5Ya8GrD
181Please respect copyright.PENANADmrrbHUJv0
"Sure," he mumbled, looking down at his hands.181Please respect copyright.PENANAkBErOe4k4Q
181Please respect copyright.PENANAx927x26CS0
Yuki sat down across from him. "I heard about what happened with Aiko," she said. "I'm so sorry."181Please respect copyright.PENANADK813fnqmn
181Please respect copyright.PENANAFSFzbZoahe
Jun looked up at her, his eyes filled with surprise. "You know?" he asked.181Please respect copyright.PENANAyissvdf0bA
181Please respect copyright.PENANAIHk2JT2Ns7
Yuki nodded. "Hana told me. I'm really worried about you."181Please respect copyright.PENANAJhJvwen2cU
181Please respect copyright.PENANAkRy6aixA1U
Jun felt a wave of relief wash over him. He wasn't alone. Yuki cared about him.181Please respect copyright.PENANA72o87Of88P
181Please respect copyright.PENANAf4Ego7HcTQ
"I don't know what to do," Jun said, his voice trembling. "Aiko is really scary."181Please respect copyright.PENANAzcR0McxYbg
181Please respect copyright.PENANAXAnPTwHPnc
Yuki smiled. "Don't worry," she said. "I'll help you."181Please respect copyright.PENANAvERJJnGpP2
181Please respect copyright.PENANAd0GezGeh38
She reached out and took his hand. "We'll figure this out together."181Please respect copyright.PENANACNicrAskqY
181Please respect copyright.PENANAYBdP9N9CkW
Jun felt a warmth spread through his chest. He had never felt so safe, so protected. He was finally starting to believe that maybe, just maybe, he could find happiness with Yuki.
