The Poet at Table Seven Every café has its regulars. The ones who come for the coffee. The ones who come for the quiet. And the ones who come because, somehow, they don't know where else to go. For Myra, Café Willow is more than just a café. It's her safe place, her responsibility, and the little world she's built with her own hands. Then one rainy night, a stranger walks in. He asks for a coffee with extra cream, chooses Table Seven, and stays longer than he planned. His name is Arav. He's new to the city, carrying a notebook full of words he rarely says aloud and a past Myra knows nothing about. What begins with coffee, quiet conversations, and two strangers slowly becoming familiar faces turns into something neither of them expected. Some people enter your life for a reason. Some stay for a season. And some leave behind a story you'll spend the rest of your life trying to put into words. Maybe every love story isn't meant to end with forever. Maybe some are meant to become poetry.

Having watched her father sacrifice his idol career to protect her from the toxic glare of the limelight, Anna understands the true value of privacy and peace. She built the café to be an unshakeable shield for the industry's elite. What she didn't expect was that the walls she erected to protect others would become the very foundation where she would experience love, weather heartbreak, and discover a profound, permanent devotion. ~~~~~~~~~~ Namjoon finally wandered over, clutching his new book like a prize, and sat down. "What did I miss?" "Yoongi-hyung is pretending he isn't bothered by Jackson flirting with Anna," Jimin said, his eyes fixed on Yoongi. Namjoon glanced at the counter, then back at the table, his expression turning serious. "Well, that might be a problem. Jackson just told me in the car that he's actually serious about her. He said he's tired of playing games and plans on pursuing her for real." The table went quiet. Jimin watched Yoongi closely and saw it, a flicker of something sharp and panicked in the elder's eyes, a momentary fracture in his cool exterior. But as quickly as it appeared, it was gone. "Good for him," Yoongi muttered, taking a long, slow sip of his coffee. "Jackson's a good guy. She deserves someone who can actually show her a good time." ~~~~~~~~~~ This is a work of fiction that I wrote and own exclusively.

Some stories begin with love at first sight. Our story began with a cup of coffee. In a quiet café where strangers come and go, two lives intertwine by chance, never realizing that one cup of coffee could change everything. Like coffee, love isn't always measured by its sweetness. It can be bitter, complicated, and painful, yet still become something worth holding onto. Some stories find their ending. Others leave behind a warmth that lingers long after the last cup. Because every love story starts somewhere. And maybe... Ours is still brewing.

something i'd love to publish one day. after some hefty editing tho aha. intercept: Felix found himself very invested in Alice's daily visits. He was spending extra time getting ready in the morning. He had only a few inches of light brown wavy hair on top of his head and very little on the sides, yet he was spending his mornings making sure it laid in the perfect spot and looked just messy enough to act like he didn't care. He was setting out his clothes at night so that his jeans wouldn't have wrinkles in them. He was brushing his teeth for double as long as he normally would. He even invested in some floss. When he would go downstairs to Mugz, he would make sure to put on the cleanest Mugz sweater he had. He started sweeping more. Especially around the time she would be in, if only to be out in the lobby with her instead of having to talk over the counter. Alice was the same as always. She was very good at not showing an effect that his words had on her if she didn't want to. Any time she would say something suggestive or bold, Felix would find himself blushing or stuttering, but on the rare occasion that Felix would try to be as bold, she would just grin and laugh. It took him a while to ensure that she was laughing with him and not at his lousy attempts at banter.

But what happens when the pages she kept hidden are finally turned? Will he still choose every version of her?
