[Early Access] Take Off S2 Ch.154 "You Are My Home That Is Constant"
| Previous Chapter |
Thank you for waiting so patiently! It's here!
There's so much I want to say about this chapter, but I'm honestly more curious for your thoughts! I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved creating it.
⚠️ Spoiler Territory ⚠️
After publishing the last episode, I was so nervous! Because a lot of you expressed uncertainty if Andrew did in fact read the letter out loud, and so many of you wanted him to, or wanted to see Nathan's reaction, which I completely understand!! I spent some time thinking if I should rewrite it so he does read the letter to Nathan, but I kept asking questions about what purposes does the letter serve? Perhaps there is disappointment that Andrew kept it to himself, in the moment he opens the letter and the context in which he wrote it resurfaces, the memories, and the heartache. But I think that's what he would do, because the letter is not just a profession of love to Nathan, but also something that reflects who Andrew is.
The scene in this chapter has been the longest one in the making... from conception to realisation. I'm so SO excited for what's to come, and thank you all for reading it, I hope you look forward to the next one! :)

Don't put me in the past tense! That is the best understanding of a break up/closure! I've always been able to detach after a break-up, able to walk away unscathed, but I've never looked at it that way. Even though I was the one leaving the relationship, I too, am being put into the past tense! Nathan you better run as fast as your legs can carry you! 😭
Jui, your writing is so thoughtful and beautiful. This is why you are my favorite BL author. I can’t wait to meet you at DoKomi next month. It will be an absolute thrill!
Bro I just came back after having to drop my membership a while ago so I've just caught up with the last 20 chapters. God please let the next one come soon!!
“Goodbye Nathan. Please let this be the last one.” OH MY HEART IS BREAKING. Andrew is the sweetest puppy with the biggest heart 😭
I’ve just re-read the last 30 chapters and damn, it hits even harder… Can’t wait for the next chapter(s), really hope Nathan make up his mind and the angst is soon over 🙏🏻🥺❤️🩹
This episode visually is stunning, the story structure is impecable in capturing the essence of our boys journey to this moment. Thank you Jui, so glad Iv been on this journey with you and the boys and look forward for what’s to come👏
FINALLY.
"Don't put me in the past tense" LAWWWWD 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Ugh for some reason I can’t open it!! I’m so jealous of everyone
Click on link, then go out to main page. Its a “trick” I was advised couple of chapters before, when it did not work for me. It will appear, just need to wait a bit.
Bruh... I honestly don't understand why it's making me cry so much
Fuck my eyes started watering. I’ve been a patron of yours since…2022? ‘23? And to see how far the story has come has my heart bleeeeding, my god. I can’t believe this is finally happening.
Good job Andrew 💙💙💙
Eeeeeeeeee!!!!
Oh my heart 😭😭😭
That's right, Nathan! Run after that sweet teddy bear of a man and never let him go!
Runnnnnn! Omg 😭😭😭
GET HIM DONT LET HIM GO PLSSS 🥹😭
THE ANGST I CAN’T MY BABIES 💔💔
This gave me full body chills. Thank you as always Jui. Crying never felt so good
I‘m so stunned. This was probably the best episode ever. And that saying even though I love every episode. Besides your gorgeous drawings skills, stands your writing and OMG the words you chose, it broke my heart in the best ways. I LOVED it. Every second of it. You are so damn talented. Lots of love and hugs for you ✨
I love this so much🥹🥹🥹them being able to be vulnerable and open with each other finally
😭😭😭 I can't get it to open!!!
Please let me know if you’re experiencing this issue on desktop or the mobile app! I think it might work better on desktop TT I’m so sorry for the trouble caused!
This was such a good chapter full of beautiful emotion. Thank you Jui for your hard work, it really shows. I can’t wait for the next one!
Nooo andrew dont give up like this. Nathan goddammit you better catch up with our boy or at least read the letter yourself before it gets messed up.
aaaaahhhhh !!! The way this just punched me in the heart! I’m so proud of my baby Andrew for saying what he needed to say. Nathan needed this wake up call and I’m so so ready for the next chapter. Thank you Jui ❤️❤️
What a heartbreaking chapter. Omg Jui your writing is so on point. Always bringing out the heartfelt emotions and all. Thank you Ps: now that being said, please don’t let them stay sad and alone 🥺
SCREAMINGGGGGG
I’m going to throw up I’m so anxious
So well done. Your writing brings about so many emotions. Thank you for creating. ❤️
My heart is so big right now. For Andrew being strong and growing so much despite his pain, and Narhan realizing if he doesnt move now he might miss out on the love of his life.... omg I cant wait to see what happens next...
Jui, you deserve every word of praise, every accolade, and a life of abusdance, joy, health, and love. Although I realize creating manga doesn't lend itself to being able to take good care of yourself, I believe you will find your footing, and set your boundaries as you need to. We, your loyal fans, can always wait and have waited and will always be with you on this journey called "Take Off," and we will follow on to the next project and the next and the next...
Oh Jui, this last chapter was perfectly poignant and heartbreaking. I am thrilled you didn't give in to the pressure of Andrew reading his love letter out loud to Nathan. It would have taken away Andrew's dignity and courage when he told Nathan he had no regrets and was happy Nathan was his first love. I cried my way through every past tense in that scene. And yet, I was so proud of our Andrew! He grew up into a strong and loving man who didn't allow himself to become bitter from rejection. Instead ,he celebrated the love he had for Nathan even as he put in the past tense, saying "let this be the last time." Was that a last kiss that we didn't get to see? Finally ,seeing Nathan cry at the end - it was the pièce de résistance! "Don't put me in the past tense!" Best line EVER!!!!!!
RUN NATHAN! RUN AND YELL! Too bad you’re in a library, but it’s an emergency! Man my poor heart, it can’t stand those last chapters - how emotional they are, Jui, what a job!! ✨❤️🥺
GO GET HIM NATHAN! gooooo!!!!
My brain is spazzing! 🥹🤯Nathan, move your butt and go get him!!! Ahhhh!!! This is insanely beautiful, Jui! Thank you! 🩵😝💗
Ahh Jui this was just beautiful! I think the way you have done it is totally right and that he wouldn't have read it aloud ♡
OMGGGGGG GET YO MAN NATHAN!!!!!! 😭😭😭 This has been an emotional roller coaster but I’m happy Nathan has come to realize that Andrew is trying to figure this out just as much as he is 🥹
I love their story🥹🥹🥹
also, you can always show us the letter later as a side story like when he was writing it. i love those kinds of jump backs after the pain has faded from the characters and things start getting fluffy
definitely looking forward to the next one -wiping tears away-
MY HEART IS POUNDING🥹🥲🥲
Oh my GOD 🥹✨ My heart is so tensed up
"Don't put me in the past tense!" 😭😭😭😭😭😭
*internal screaming* 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
It's just so good, so well written
MY HEART IS SCREAMING ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹 this is so beautiful
Ahhhhh I love it!
😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹 Oh Jui, your chapters are taking me by surprise every time 🥺
It's beautiful! I admire the courage it took to express something so profound—the awareness of their love, their will, and the situation between them. It's like hearing the last song of a heart that is breaking and yet speaks of love. 😭
Are you a writer? At last sentence is so beautiful.
😭😭😭😭
holy crap genuinely in tears this is so beautiful i’m so excited for whatever comes next
Oh my god 😭😭😭😭😭
This is such a big step! I can't wait to read more. So much pain but it's worth them finally working towards each other. Thanks Jui 🖤
This was chapter was so raw and utterly PERFECT😩🤍It was almost cathartic to see Andrew clearly express his want for love, to be chosen, and to end the conversation with no regrets even if it hurts. This chapter is the epitome of why I love this story!! Raw feelings, beautifully written, and each word impactful as we follow their love story. And as someone who was almost rooting that Andrew don’t give the letter, this was the most perfect choice because it’s true to who Andrew is! AMAZING WORK, JUI! 😭💕
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Jui stop making me cry
THIS MADE ME BAWL MY EYES OUT😭😭 he better catch up to him 🥺🥺
Girl. I didn't know I was going to cry today! This chapter was written absolutely brilliant. Beautiful. The desperation and yearning for something so profound, yet difficult. Something that should come easy, but at the same time it's so hard. The explanation is everything - I can't even get the right words to describe how it makes me feel. And with the new chapter it makes sense he didn't read it out loud. It took a while but Andrew finally speaking out about how he feels, what he wants, needs....it's even better than his written words. He just has a way with words. But seeing them both cry today is heartbreaking. I know it's for the greater good but still 🥲 And the desperation gripping Nathan. Urgh my heart can't take it. Seeing him so touched (and maybe confused inside) by Andrew's words, makes it even more beautiful. The whole set up and everything it just fits perfectly. I really can't describe the feeling, it's just sad and beautiful at the same time. It's just that kind of feeling for a character. You want to help but you also want to see them grow. And now go, Nathan. Run to catch your man!! Thank you for the new chapter and your hard work💕 You are doing a terrific job!
Andrew that was such a beautiful confession 😭❤️🩹 Now we're all going to hold our breaths until the next chapter 😞 Nathan you better catch up to your man! Don't let it become past tense!
Yaaass, it's definitely Nathan's turn to chase after Andrew
Oh this chapter is beautiful. 🥺🥺 Go get him Nate!! 🏃♂️🏃♂️
My heart is clenching! 😫
Thank you🩷🥹
I'm not crying, YOU'RE CRYING 😭
I like that he didn’t read it out loud. I assumed he did in the previous chapter but I like that he read it in his head. And instead said what he said when he gave it to him. Love love love! Do not change because it’s very Andrew!
Nooooooo Nathan you better catch up to him right now 😭 fix it!! Please fix it!! 😭 tell him how you feel 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
And Andrew is such a pretty cryer 🥹
This is so good 😭😭
I hope its a short chase and nathan bumps into andrew standing outside. But now we need nathan to talk and realize his feelings to Andrew.
OH SWEET BOYS!! RUN AND GET YOUR MAN NATHAN 😭
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫🥹🥹🥹, I’m crying on my way to work but the realization he doesn’t want to be put in the past tense and running… I can’t wait for the next chapter
“The kind where you choose me because you want to” Andrew 😭 ily so much! Yes go get him Nathan!
Noooooo I'm on the edge of my seat again!!!!
Go get your man!
YES GO GET YOUR MAN
YEAH!!! GO NATHAN GO GET HIM!!
