He's Dating the Russian Swimmer

Upon hearing what Dino just said, Ivan could not help but laugh at himself before replying, "Oh, right." Next, Ivan raised his hand to gaze at his own ring before continuing, "We do have these after all. And…" Then an idea came into his mind, so he gazed at Dino's eyes and said, "Dino, if someday I were to forget about you, you just have to remind me of the rings. These rings we have would probably help me remember that we're lovers."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Dino asked, looking confused.

"I mean, like if I suddenly got amnesia or Alzheimer's disease," Ivan replied with a smirk.

"Oh…" Dino uttered while trying to absorb Ivan's words. Then he was suddenly overcome with surprise so he blurted out, "Eh?! What?!"

"Yes, you heard it right," Ivan declared with a nod and a smirk. "If someday I would get those kinds of diseases, I want you to show me these rings. These might help me remember about our relationship."
