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

Both Ivan and Dino were smiling brightly and shouting cheerfully as they watched the fireworks in the evening sky. Just like the sun earlier, it was as if the fireworks were blessing their relationship. The people that were there were also cheering loudly, making the place even more lively.

Dino looked at Ivan, and the former felt happy to watch something like this together with the latter on the very same day that they became an official couple. Likewise, Ivan was also happy to have Dino by his side.

Then Ivan looked at Dino and, while smirking, said, "Dino, they're beautiful, aren't they?"

Dino nodded and smiled innocently before answering, "Yes, they are. Just like you, Ivan."

Ivan's eyes dilated upon hearing Dino's sweet words before replying, "That's really cute of you, Dino."

Dino shyly broke his eye contact with Ivan and answered, "N-Not really. It's the truth."

Ivan chuckled and responded, "Yeah, you're right."
