[Honestly, I don’t know what I should answer him.] Dino thought with his face red while also not gazing directly at Ivan’s eyes. [But still...My heart is beating fast.]

At that moment, Ivan took Dino’s right hand and put it on his own chest, making Dino feel Ivan’s heartbeat.

“Dino, can you feel my heartbeat?” Ivan asked in an attractive deep voice while smiling gently, with the pupils of his eyes also dilated. “It’s beating just for you.”

He's Dating the Russian Swimmer

The next morning, Dino woke up and found himself in what seemed to be a hotel room, making him wonder about what happened and how he got there. He also realized that he  was lying on a large comfortable bed.

[Where...Where am I? Am I...inside a hotel room?] Dino thought while looking around. [How did I get here?]

Next, he looked at himself and realized that he was wearing a white bathrobe, making him feel even more confused.

[What the…?! Did someone change my clothes?!] Dino thought with a surprised look on his face. [Then what happened before I got here?!]

Afterwards, Dino tried his best to think about how he got there. As much as he tried to think, the last thing he could remember before he woke up was that he was gazing at the moon and stars together with Ivan on the rooftop of a building. He also vaguely remembered the moment when he closed his eyes and leaned on Ivan's shoulder.
