“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.”

At that moment, Dino remembered the way Wilson looked at the former earlier. It was exactly the same kind of gaze that made Dino feel some chills before. Dino did not believe that he was mistaken since Wilson's eyes were soft and dilated again this time when their eyes had met. This made Dino feel that Wilson might actually like him.

"Huh? Y-Yeah. Why?" Dino, who was surprised with Ivan's question, replied.

"Something seems to be bothering you," Ivan answered. "If there's anything bothering you, please feel free to tell me."

"Oh, it's really nothing!" Dino, who was covering up for Wilson, responded cheerfully. "I'll let you know if there's anything wrong."

"Okay," Ivan answered with a gentle smile.

[He's obviously hiding something.] Ivan thought. [Whatever it is he's hiding, I'll try to find out about it.]
