When the Clock Strikes 10
Jisung never planned on being a dad at seventeen, but life doesn't really care about plans. Between diapers, late-night feedings, and working the graveyard shift at the tiny corner market, he's barely keeping it together. His world is small... just him, his daughter Hana, and the creaky market shelves.
Then he walks in.
Minho. The kind of man who makes the air shift when he enters a room. Sharp suits. Cigarette smoke clinging to him like a second skin. Nobody knows who he really is, but everyone knows not to ask.
All he says that first night is, "Pack of smokes."
But then he sees Hana.
And he comes back.
Every night.
10 p.m. sharp.
What starts as sarcasm and side-eyes at the counter slowly becomes something Jisung didn't think he'd ever have again... connection. But Minho carries shadows with him, and Jisung already has more than enough on his plate.
Still... when the clock strikes 10, it's hard to ignore the way his heart beats louder than the market's old ceiling fan.
Dark romance with soft chaos, unexpected family moments, and a mafia man who learns how to baby-proof a stroller.
