He's Dating the Russian Swimmer

Dino was mesmerized upon seeing Ivan, who looked really handsome while wearing a long-sleeved polo and trousers. Ivan also wore a watch on his wrist that matched his outfit really well.

[Wow...He's…So cool!] Dino thought in admiration.

With his hands on his waist, Ivan exclaimed, "You've come, Dino! And you even brought your friend here too!"

"Yeah!" Dino replied cheerfully. Then Dino pointed at Eric and said, "His name is Eric. You remember him, right?"

"Oh, yes. I remember him. He's the one with you during the fan meeting, right?" Ivan responded while smiling brightly.

"Ah, yes, he was there with me!" Dino exclaimed with a nod. "And he's a fan of you too, just like me!"

"I see," Ivan uttered. Then he extended his right hand to Eric for a friendly handshake and said, "Nice to meet you again, Eric. I'm really glad that another fan of mine went here to see me."
