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.”

In the morning, Dino and the others went on to explore more of Tagaytay, with Dino himself leading the group on where to go. Aside from going to some recommended places, they also tried the various recommended dishes and delicacies from Tagaytay, such as the bulalo* in a certain restaurant that was well-known for its delicious bulalo. Although it was a new kind of dish to them, both Ivan and Irina found the bulalo to be a rather delicious dish.

"This is great, Dino!" Ivan exclaimed upon having his first taste of the bulalo.

"I agree," Irina said. "It's high in calories, but I'll forget about my diet for now for this dish."

"Thanks! I'm glad you both liked it!" Dino answered joyfully.

Next, Dino turned to Eric and Wilson, who also both seemed to enjoy the bulalo. Dino smiled while watching them eat as he also continued eating his own bulalo.
