He's Dating the Russian Swimmer

Dino shyly gazed at Ivan's beautiful blue eyes that shone like sapphires while also feeling the latter's heartbeat. At that moment, Dino also realized that everything that Ivan said was true and sincere, making the former's heart beat faster than normal.

After a moment of thinking, Dino looked at Ivan's eyes while smiling innocently and said, "Ivan, I…"

"Yes? What is it?" Ivan inquired with a gentle grin while also continuing to gaze at Dino with eyes full of love.
