Updates will be inconsistent for this story. ⚠️ This is my first time trying out this kind of concept and publishing it right away-without fully editing or fact-checking the chapters (I only have about 10 written so far!). Because of that, I'll be taking my time to go back, clean things up, and make sure the details are right before uploading new chapters. So if you're enjoying it, don't forget to save the story! I might do batch updates once everything is polished and ready ✨

Olivia had always lived by one rule: stay out of trouble and graduate quietly. But trouble, it turned out, had a name, and it came in the form of Sebastian Crane. Arrogant. Popular. Charming enough to make the entire campus turn heads. When he starts showing up everywhere-in her classes, at her part-time café job, in the quiet corners of her carefully ordered life-Olivia braces herself for endless irritation. What she doesn't expect is the way he looks at her like she's the only person in the room. Or the way her walls start crumbling every time he's near. Sebastian tells himself it's just a bet with his friends-make the one girl who isn't impressed by him fall for him, prove he can win anyone over. Simple. Except Olivia isn't like anyone else. She challenges him, sees through his carefully crafted mask, and makes him question everything he thought he knew about himself. What started as a game became terrifyingly real. But when the truth about how they began comes to light, Olivia will have to decide if what they built together is worth fighting for or if some betrayals are too deep to forgive. And Sebastian will learn that the biggest gamble of all... is risking your heart when you might lose it forever.

Coffito Crawls is a psychological horror novelette set in a quiet café that comes alive only after midnight. Yumeko, a soft-spoken girl with an unsettling smile, works alone behind the counter. By day, she appears harmless. By night, the café becomes a place where people disappear. Yumeko calls the men who stay too late "Onii-chan," longing for a brother who never returned. Those who refuse to stay are punished-not out of rage, but out of loneliness disguised as sweetness. Some escape with their bodies broken, others vanish without a trace. As news spreads and fear grows, customers stop coming, leaving Yumeko alone with the silence she fears most. Investigations fail, evidence disappears, and the café itself seems to protect her. Between kindness and cruelty, comfort and control, Yumeko's story unfolds as a chilling exploration of abandonment, manipulation, and the danger of mistaking warmth for safety. Coffito Crawls is not a story about monsters-it is about what happens when loneliness learns how to smile.

A wrong order. A quiet glance. Three unexpected meetings. Sometimes, love begins quietly.

Eli lives a simple life. He already has everything he needs, earned through perseverance and a keen sense for business hence the success of his café. His days always pass in the rhythm of grinding beans, steaming milk, paperworks, and familiar faces that come and go. Peace-that is how he defined it. But that peace was shaken the moment he accepts a responsibility too heavy to refuse, a responsibility he takes on without hesitation. Unbeknownst to Eli, that responsibility will lead him to meet again a person from his past. Eli will find himself standing before a man he cannot fully remember, yet whose presence ignites something buried deep inside him. Between memory and instinct, trust and hesitation, they are drawn together by a force neither can resist nor fully understand. Every glance, every word, and every silence threatens to unravel the fragile boundaries they've built, forcing them to confront what they've lost, what they've become, and what they might yet destroy.
