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.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOodA3C4tdC

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.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2dclFwU6C
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfy3EYTGBg
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYX9AsrtnH
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fPg0RU2f5
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmZO0wvhuf
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3Xci41rzJ
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDACTVx1osS
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmiR9iMw3s
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oPvx1r867
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GRzfRPvRH
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSUPG4WTN5
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4UuOJsSw6
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7gugvYrz5
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvJhdA1Mu7
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.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7R5ZHJUp7
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydNvSzHoL3
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8DY1NmEYe
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5Bv8H8wT9
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdJKMKAjCJ
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIudKRy8FCk
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjx7zESq2a
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXytb0bmky
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."199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevtgQ2qtoz
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzdZNPPDxM
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNh2VNgp1K
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhiv3tU4nl
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FZxJQNEFK
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrdBqLn2K6
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4N9Af8Yod
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWuUmX8nMG
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.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUKbTRgxTq
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgK7yUoVc8
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AbhlGwB92
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK0aYwuJGX
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.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dF88wkLDR
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSOeUWLyoe
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIvYKNxOPu
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvUMrCsNcZ
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAkuG2lrcl
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z27fUcVKG
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.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GgmBbSbTR
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XErG9wMMb
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mdS7kb3Jn
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTIvK9Metr
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwBRrx9rPB
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO68cf13ubU
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT8yD78RcS
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgnSjBl4QZ
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
