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.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI73TJ7gN4K

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.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gOhDRLWK2
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77QS8OfwfI
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r0IPl9xyg
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gYWYUGdoH
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcizfudezt3
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnVJrYmbkV
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJAv1alvcK
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEsIQVqKNW
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAcXTez49K
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2XE9IktZb
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2mVq8wtT7
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTGjQVmqag
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XbMiPfDCs
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcREWgWYvo
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.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4YUIc9QT2
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC5WKRfMZS
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguEcq5UdR7
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnYFwNUKje
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH6b4Y9Nv8
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP3GYWVLnv
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkgd6Q1wLH
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeEdLlnLpz
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."158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxecMR9FPed
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCdI7asIWS
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8ZbNQSa32
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm27rjcOQQO
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgq7kCm9Zs
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHlfbexqzo
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMCUpMHnEz
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSoOJL5lP1
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.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWhYbA5h5V

"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTFUiPQBtF
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJHK0ZjiZw
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.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxKVDoEo7I
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskhNKsvzIU
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr0V50eVOf
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6L2k0J1lp
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K0bKc4WjO
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfrL5vAFQJ
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.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7Z6lw61Pk
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeoMaPF398
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dwegvIIRF
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMNjHRyZSA
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEdI9QDKka
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoZ9d19IQO
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbELfsDgGYE
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajCnBUXH6U
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
