[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

A week had passed since Ivan had met Dino's parents. He and Dino had continued to date until the former received an email about an upcoming swimming competition in Russia, which would mean he needed to fly back to his own country. A few days after that, at around two in the afternoon, he was at the airport to board the plane that was bound for Moscow, Russia. Dino was also at the airport to bid him farewell.

"Dino, I'll be right back. Please take care of yourself," Ivan said while holding Dino's hands inside his own large hands, with his eyes showing so much love.

"Please take care of yourself too. I'll be watching and cheering  for you," Dino replied while smiling innocently.

"Thanks, Dino. I love you," Ivan responded very tenderly before kissing Dino on the lips, with the latter receiving the former's kiss warmly.
