"Oh...H-Hi!" Gian said shyly. "Are you…?"
[Oh no! Kuya Gian and Ivan have met! This isn't even part of my plan!] Dino thought nervously with his palm on his face while wincing.
Ivan smiled and declared, "I'm Ivan Sadovsky." Then Ivan offered his right hand for a friendly handshake and said, "Nice to meet you."
[What the…?] Dino thought in disbelief that Ivan and the former's older brother had begun to talk to each other.
[Ivan...Could he be…?] Gian thought while also remembering the face of the Russian swimmer whom his younger brother had placed his bet on two weeks ago.
Then Gian shyly shook hands with Ivan before the former responded, "I'm Gian. Nice to meet you too, Sir Ivan."
"Oh, so you're Gian. That's a nice name!" Ivan remarked cheerfully.
"Thank you!" Gian responded while grinning from ear to ear. "So, you're...a professional swimmer, right? I've seen you on TV before."
