The festival was in full swing, and the courtyard was buzzing with activity. Jun and Yuki were busy manning their class booth, selling homemade crafts and snacks. They were having a blast, laughing and joking with their classmates, and enjoying the festive atmosphere.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYQeojRvFz

Jun was feeling a little more confident now, thanks to Yuki's unwavering support. He was even starting to enjoy the attention he was getting from other girls. But he knew that he only had eyes for Yuki.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ6uZxYnHv

As the night wore on, Jun noticed that Aiko was watching them from across the courtyard. Her eyes were fixed on him, and she had a dark, brooding expression on her face. He felt a shiver run down his spine. He knew she wouldn't let him forget about her.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLrgBrORHz
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3zrRg2rpS
"Yuki," he whispered, his voice a little shaky. "I think Aiko is watching us."185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEgB9NzZmA
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQWujyMKRW
Yuki followed his gaze and saw Aiko standing alone in the shadows. Her eyes were fixed on them, and she had a menacing look on her face.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYZhr7InHb
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljIjyaomKI
"Don't worry, Jun," Yuki said, her voice firm. "She can't hurt us."185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0ijL4Vm96
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTSqbkX8wi
But Jun couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. He felt a sense of dread creeping over him.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNyIgTcCTy
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ6Av9H1G3
As they were packing up their booth, Jun noticed that Aiko was walking towards them. Her eyes were fixed on him, and she had a determined look on her face.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9uzBcBihf
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOISCma6Yot
"Jun," she said, her voice low and menacing. "I have something for you."185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46SCgxMlo1
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTop4H636D1
She reached into her bag and pulled out a small, intricately carved wooden box. It was beautiful, but something about it made Jun uneasy.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwOccGZ7Le
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXroil3belw
"What is it?" he asked, his voice hesitant.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJhxqg9Cxv
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQO4aA4JEE
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "It's a gift," she said. "I hope you like it."185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOmT9lltFr
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTbsw8VWEh
She handed him the box, and Jun hesitated for a moment before taking it. He felt a sense of dread creeping over him.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeXXQaAw89
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrBLlWDZeO
"Thanks, Aiko," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "But I don't think I can accept it."185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVxKB2CmgF
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y1m1pThtE
Aiko's smile faltered. "Why not?" she asked, her voice tinged with hurt.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDU915HsjA
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo10OJNgis9
"I... I don't want to make things awkward," Jun said, trying to find the right words. "I'm happy with Yuki."185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAak0WKGZb
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8tMnAo7St
Aiko's eyes narrowed. "You're happy with her?" she asked, her voice laced with bitterness. "But she doesn't love you the way I do."185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvWTYDIMkX
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Hd67DjgZu
Jun felt a pang of guilt. He knew Aiko was obsessed with him, but he couldn't help but feel a little flattered by her attention.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEtwh0F6Ot
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3r8f4o6kl
"I appreciate your feelings, Aiko," he said, trying to be kind. "But I'm happy with Yuki."185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6ICfhjjzQ
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mTyI5z4S8
Aiko turned and walked away, her shoulders slumped with defeat. Jun watched her go, his heart heavy with guilt. He didn't want to hurt her feelings, but he knew he had to be honest with himself. He was in love with Yuki, and he couldn't imagine being with anyone else.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzag0OEZQc
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EvnVk9gv5
As Jun turned to face Yuki, he noticed that she was staring at the box in his hand with a look of concern.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtQ2aYAZ76
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeifcE6Oebd
"What is it, Jun?" she asked, her voice soft. "What did Aiko give you?"185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdntknMeKoN
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVX3lzbBN5
Jun hesitated for a moment before handing her the box.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi02g1kj1UV
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87QRIbPS1y
"I don't know," he said, his voice trembling slightly. "She just said it was a gift."185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMulytUBha
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4l4RarG7r
Yuki took the box and opened it. Inside, she found a small, intricately carved wooden doll. It was beautiful, but something about it made her uneasy.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AbG6Smoca
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1alEJfCzZ
"This is... this is strange," she said, her voice a little shaky. "I don't think we should keep it."185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhRNS4ThDw
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fKL0NQMtK
As she spoke, she noticed a faint, sweet scent emanating from the doll. It was a familiar scent, one she had smelled before. It was the scent of blood.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLYvqb2JXX
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPyhjAPdtb
Yuki's eyes widened in horror. She realized what Aiko had done. She had poisoned the doll with her own blood, hoping to use it to harm Jun.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIMOjMA4O4
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyGYbdadKf
"Jun," she said, her voice urgent. "We need to get out of here."185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwb0pFvoig
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKazjFbXWB2
She grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the booth. They ran through the crowded courtyard, their hearts pounding in their chests.
