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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdUxjbSU6U

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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLZZWksu2r
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC15Q1BTGUr
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRACowKT1HS
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhcV9rnBKX
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUB5pW98Rj
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FNo0Vr4ki
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRx3yXN0My
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLTHkhZYLI
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3340aK2sBq
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xMQ3WLl5g
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPKc2s1AKL
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFdJGp3grB
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQISbtmgmzb
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCqY8NKYgL
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLbSel4m4m
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjPcmzItc7
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu6c5wBHHA
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynkB93gfp1
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVSCKXQDYA
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN0IT4bdrh
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYqVv3nX85
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcugS0iSf1l
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."159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWlwodUoIN
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIitLJRoPQ
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcsNOQDHpW
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL65lRNVH3
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP04j4QuS7n
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpjRVSh6iX
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1kihQJpXx
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdATFAF7Cie
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rV291RMUg
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6PWSj3g8F
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6lwkIkVZi
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiXGeZvcRB
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgUD4UN0gW
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ15zQ1oEld
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3YwNNXWCK
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA7sCQvckl
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQiqxS5c23
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2REfnVF4t
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6iRe3eJL0
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgZukVBEi7
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SvD0U14IL
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUk2T1eGJX
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKM1z4E83C
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFgqG8XjN1
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZpKm6EZGF
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOpzJSwU3z
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
