"Seres-"
"Teren, you're late."
Seres cut him off with a sharp reply.
"Huh? Aren't I twenty-five minutes early-"
"A man should arrive thirty minutes earlier than the appointed time. Therefore, you're late."
"I-is that right? I will arrive one hour next time."
Even though Seres was being unreasonable, Teren didn't find it troubling nor annoying. Right now, all he was thinking is how to get their relationship back.
