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 day, while he and his classmates were waiting for the professor to come, Dino's eyes widened and was shocked upon seeing a photo of Ivan on Facebook. Ivan's face could be seen, but the face of the blonde-haired woman he was hugging could not be seen. Even though he could not see the woman's face, Dino was quite sure that it was Irina.

The caption of the photo went like this: [Is Ivan in a relationship with a woman right now?]

[Oh my...What is this? Why are they hugging?] Dino thought in utter amazement. [Is this a hug of friendship? Or a romantic kind of hug?]

Eric noticed that Dino seemed to be looking bothered, so the former asked, "Dino, what's wrong?"

Dino made eye contact with Eric before he showed the photo to the latter. Then Dino said, "Look at this."
