Dino felt somehow reassured upon hearing Mark's reassuring declaration. He also looked at Mark's facial expression, and the former realized that the latter was sincere.
[I guess I can just take it easy when it comes to him.] Dino thought shyly. [But am I really gay? Or bisexual?]
"O-Okay. If you say so," Dino replied shyly. "That's great to know."
"No problem!" Mark replied with a gentle smile on his face. Then he turned to Ivan and said, "As for you, Ivan, get ready now. We'll be training in fifteen minutes."
Ivan nodded and smiled before replying, "Okay, I got it." Next, he turned to Eric and Dino and said, "I'll be right back. I'll be wearing my swimsuit."
"Okay," Dino and Eric replied in unison.
"Alright. See yah!" Ivan declared cheerfully before proceeding to walk away.
As soon as Ivan was gone, Mark proceeded to interview Dino.
