Honestly, I totally agree with you. Andrew needs to be able to love himself before latching onto someone else to love him, and Nathan needs to soften up. I'm really looking forward to seeing them grow. You make a good point about Nathan taking his pain out on Andrew and I think that's what happened when they argued in the hotel room. Emotions were too high and he left with less grace than he should've, but that's part of the reason why I wish we could see his backstory too.

2025-03-21 03:23:26 +0000 UTCI really liked your comments! I agree with you that Nathan definitely had good points, and I even agreed with him breaking up with Andrew. BUT, while the first points he made about Andrew needing to work on himself were well-said, the way he ended it and walked away from him was cruel. He could have said everything he needed to say with kindness and still ended the relationship. And as you said, Andrew's behavior was unhealthy not only towards himself but towards Nathan as well. The poor boy needs to find himself some self-esteem and self-acceptance STAT! I just thought, and still think that Nathan has his own problems and he took his hurt out on Andrew. Booooooooooooo!!!!

2025-03-20 23:45:13 +0000 UTCI know a lot of people are really upset by Nathan, but I can't help but find him refreshing. He's putting himself first--even if he's a bit rude about it at times--and I really admire that. Honestly, he has fair points, too. Andrew has proven that (a) he isn't able or willing tl communicate his wants and needs to Nathan, meaning Nathan can't trust that he's doing something he wants versus it being just to please or keep Nathan, and (b) he definitely likes Nathan more than he's liked back, and he deserves to be loved completely for the beautiful human being he is. Although I do wish Nathan was a bit nicer to Andrew at times, he is completely within his rights to set boundaries, and I'm glad they're finally talking things out. I really hope we get to see a backstory for Nathan like we did for Andrew to help understand why he's so hyper-focused on how precious his time is. Was there a failed relationship? Did he have to claw his way to the states? Has he seen someone waste their life by not spending their time properly? I know the story is more Andrew-centric, but I find Nathan to be even more interesting than Andrew (though that might just be because we're not privy to his inner monologue) and would love to see what goes on in his head, past and present. Both Andrew and Nathan clearly have to work on themselves first before being able to be together as a healthy couple, and I'm excited to see their progress (both together and as individuals)!

2025-03-20 00:02:39 +0000 UTCI’m starting to worry 😞 I haven’t gotten my postcard yet from signing up and tried messaging but must be drowned out by lots of messages or too busy but I’m starting worry I’ll never get it and it honestly breaks me heart a little I was super looking forward to it this year again 🥺

2025-03-19 13:13:00 +0000 UTCThey are just lies he tells to protect himself. You can tell because he blushed!

2025-03-19 03:06:54 +0000 UTCThanks so much, Jui for another great chapter! I am sad for them both. I know you said you are a sucker for the whole soul mate trope and these two will find each other again, but I’m having a hard time keeping the faith. It seems Nathan really has no patience for Andrew and doesn’t want his firsts. Too much pressure, he says. He sounds like an egotistical jerk. Or a spoiled child. This reminds me of the conversation he had in the bar with his friend, when he said he has his “needs” and he wont wait long for anyone. I remembered thinking then he sounded like a real jerk. And even though Andrew has his own self-esteem issues he needs to work on, and he needs to learn to love himself, I think he is too sweet and too good for Nathan. So as much as I was rooting for them before. Now I think Andrew should really find someone else. I think the only way you get around this current plot trajectory is if we get to see why Nathan is so cynical, and if we see that all of these things he says to Andrew are really just lies he tells to protect himself. IMHO. Lol

2025-03-17 17:10:39 +0000 UTCAs much as I am going absolutely feral waiting for them to properly get together, I really really enjoy Nathan’s maturity and self-preservation. He’s a lot older than Andrew and has experience. He knows what he wants in life and love. And yes his words are sometimes harsh, but he’s clearly laying boundaries in a mature way. I love that about him. I get sick in other works of misunderstandings and lack of respect, so seeing this is so nice. And while I want to shake Nathan by the shoulders and tell him to just love our beefy golden retriever, I simultaneously respect his behaviour. Absolutely brilliantly wrote Jui!! There’s a reason I chose to join this Patreon, and it’s not just the stunning art ❤️❤️❤️

2025-03-16 14:25:58 +0000 UTCThat straight up rizz though. “The person I love the most is me.” “We both have that in common.” Okay Andrew, we see you. Keep trying to win Nathan’s heart! 😌❤️

2025-03-15 17:24:31 +0000 UTCHonestly that was a smooth line for Andrew… I totally agree with Nathan though so I can’t wait to see what happen next. BTW how have he lasted this long with such a big hater in his group project

2025-03-15 16:32:21 +0000 UTCAaaaaw the chapter is so cute 🥹 healing vibes. Its nice how Nathan's professional side is coming through here and how systematically he approaches the situation. I'm really curious how this will play out, but I'm sure the truth will come out. Overall it's nice seeing them work together for this. And Andrew's chibi is soooo cute🥹😍 Also having someone say they like themselves the most is really nice. I think it's always good to see a character say something like this. Doesn't mean they like others any less but self-love is, in my opinion, the first and very important step for loving others. But overall the chapter and especially the ending are super cute!! Andrew locking in. Let's hope for the best! But I need to know what happened to Andrew's letter from last chapter lol Thank you Jui and your team for the new chapter💜💜 And the new standees and prints are so nice! Congratulations on the next step😍💜

2025-03-15 16:29:46 +0000 UTCAwwwwww the bois 😩 it’s killing me till they finally collide full force back together…
VioletDash
2025-03-15 16:28:48 +0000 UTCI both hate and love Nate for knowing his selfworth but damn it hurts to see Andrew hurting and hoping... 🥲
Charliie Kreitzer
2025-03-15 16:27:39 +0000 UTCI’m SWOONING over that last line!Smoothest love confession ever😩🫶 If I were Andrew, I’d be disappointed hearing all this but I would want someone to choose me even if they had doubts. Love is a risk but living with the regret of never pursuing something that COULD have worked out and been great, would be something I couldn’t do…I’m excited to see how this unfolds😌
Bella
2025-03-15 16:24:44 +0000 UTCAwwwwww!!!! Nathan blushed! Nathan blushed! He knows he loves Andrew he’s just lying to himself. And Andrew blushed when he said it. Awwwwwwww!!!!!!!
