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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjqDWp9UMK

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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw65ZgbQTBG

"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa48rhrURyl
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpph3cH2Nk
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF4u8FcPFV
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vm99GDW8g
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GsMCA2ZEs
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubfzOgetB9
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis1Xb1mVQh
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn2eDTtgZW
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeObCRFRLK
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF8HKYEvPo
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOKtqtzxnr
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy8u6Na2cm
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIBZ210qc7
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BM0ad59Wa
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqcaESZDSl
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNBDwv0rrd
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDAKGWnm4W
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMIYLQwNsU
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rHLYjPGCY
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UneWnbq8L
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."157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7xM4WYwTB
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoXDWcXTXr
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX60tCwxWv2
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvnx68lCEn
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4kanlfDeW
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlhACAZ4mB
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN4OboW74d
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs9aeCvOKd
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72O95wAqP3
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVZUEKbvgp
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaiWwQXA2j
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjA8iKpeXK
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxnxwCzwN3
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcYAp7qsNK
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLEw84fIqk
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJZRSPFsss
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D5jsbjEXw
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs3TO8jr9z
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuSw7LXri8
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pc95s8qsm
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4iKO6pymK
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrTQ0ZFqCL
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88o3Z2qfAN
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyRVlPmuPO
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ApsVOeASx
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31UWMglfwk
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
