Daniel & Ivan (Love Syndrome)

CHAPTER - 11

"Would you like me to solve something?" Roman asked Danil, but he shook his head negatively.

"This is enough and too much for me. And where do they go now?" Danil asked back.

"Let's keep talking about work for a while longer," Ivan replied.

"We came for a boat trip, but you have to work all the time? Won't you take a break once in a while?" Danil asked, although he knew well that Ivan's main purpose for boarding the boat was work-related.

"We'll rest later this afternoon," Roman replied. "By the way, you invited Keith to have fun in the water, didn't you?"

"Yes, the son of the President of Italy, Jake, is also with him," Danil informed the other.

"Hmm, Ivan and I will join you," Roman replied, and Danil immediately turned to look at Ivan.

"Are you going to have fun in the water with us too?" Danil asked, his eyes shining with anticipation. Initially, Ivan was going to refuse, but seeing Danil's hopeful look, he hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Uh-huh," Ivan replied softly, making Danil smile immediately.

"Great! It's been a long time since I played in the water with you.

I'm going to choose my swimsuit now," Danil said excitedly, before inviting

Leaf and Alex to escort him to his room.

"Heh, to be honest, you're not that strong with Danil either," Roman said, looking like he knew everything, but Ivan just looked at him calmly.

"In the past few years, you have always risked everything for Danil, but in the end, when any problem arises with him, you always abandon everything to solve it. Why do you have to make everything so complicated?" asked Roman, with a doubtful expression.

"Let's talk in your office," Ivan replied, and they walked to Roman's office, drinking some wine.

"Ivan, I really don't want to get involved in your personal affairs, but you suffer because of

"That's over a decade ago. Why?" Roman asked, genuinely curious. He knew Ivan's secrets, because Ivan had confided in him at some point.

"What do you want me to do, when everyone knows that Danil is my little brother?" Ivan asked back.

"You are smart in everything, you solve all problems, but you end up being foolish precisely because of Danil, don't you?" Roman couldn't help but criticize his friend. At first, he had no intention of getting involved, as he believed that Ivan would

could solve it alone, but looking at the situation, it seemed like nothing had changed.

"Danil still doesn't know the truth. What do you want me to do? My father and mother still don't want him

tell this, and you want me to tell it just to satisfy

my own desires? If Danil knew the whole truth, would he be able to accept it? And besides, how would Danil think about it, I still..." Ivan hesitated at the end.

"What?" Roman asked, noticing Ivan's hesitant behavior.

"Last night... Danil slept in the same room as me. In the middle of the night, he got up and kissed me, thinking I was already asleep," Ivan told his friend, not wanting to think about it alone.

"Did Danil say anything?" Roman asked. Ivan shook his head.

"So why don't you try getting closer to Danil? I feel like he's keeping secrets too, and you must think the same," Roman suggested. Ivan became thoughtful.
