Dear Diary,
It's another day, and I'm still trying to process my thoughts. Today was fun, though. We went to the arcade, and Taro crushed me in that dance game. Yume and Ryo are always adorable together.
But what's been on my mind is...Taro.
I never realized it until today, when he gave me his hoodie in the rain. The way he looked at me, concerned and caring...it hit me.
I think I like Taro.
More than just friendship.
I feel nervous writing this down, but it's the truth.
I've noticed little things - the way Taro smiles when he's happy, the way his eyes light up when he's passionate about something.
I've tried to brush it off as friendship, but deep down...I know.
I like Taro's strength and vulnerability.
I like how he always tries to protect others.
I like him.
What does this mean? I'm scared to find out.
For now, I'll keep this secret safe.
Goodnight, diary.
Arata ♡
