Whenever Yul would bring that up, Zeng would counter him with the same argument he had made before.
"Lu jie and Zaria had been together longer than us."
Yul didn't miss a second before replying, "And we had been together longer than most straight couples." His answer made Zeng go silent. He opened his mouth but no words seemed fit to counter the argument. Yul looked him in the eyes, gaze demanding an answer, "Is this actually about the time, Zeng ge?"
Zeng fidgeted. Yul scoffed and took another grumpy bite of his doughnut, powdered sugar coating his lips, "I am not seeing it that way."
Zeng nodded. "You are right," he admitted, "But it's not about the time but about the timing."
Yul was confused. Zeng sat up straight and got closer to him. Yul was more confused when Zeng raised his hand only to find his boyfriend wanted to wipe the sugar from his lips with the pad of his thumb. "It's difficult to have a conversation with you when you are looking like that."
