This is a MaxTul/TulMax alternate universe fanfiction.
WELCOME TO JUPITER!
The bakery where everything is made with love...
---
Max feels like his life is in a downwards spiral.
He is about to turn twenty-five years old, but has no idea what he wants to do with his life. He told his family he would start university after the summer. The problem is, he can't figure out what to apply for, and the deadline is fast approaching. After a few other short-term employments, Max has been spending the last few months working as a bartender. He hates everything about the job, except the discount on alcohol.
Lately, Max has been taking advantage of that discount a lot, all the while worrying about how to figure out who he is, and where he can find his dream.
Tul feels like he is exactly where he's supposed to be in life.
After years of spending all his time and energy on getting a masters degree in chemistry, he now works as a baker at a bakery called "Jupiter". He has been working there for about a year now, and he loves everything about his job. It's not too much money, but it pays the bills. Besides, his passion for baking and the wonderful people he works with, more than makes up for it.
Lately, Tul has been thinking about how he's turning twenty-seven this coming autumn, and wondering if it might be time to find someone to love and share his dreams with.
