Not every story has to be bittersweet.
Some stories can be made of sunshine and rainbows...
-or perhaps, in this case, midnights and coffees? ☕🌙
There are stories written beneath the warmth of the afternoon sun,
and then there are stories that begin somewhere between 12:03 a.m. and the first sip of cold coffee.
This one happens to be the latter.
✦ ──────── ✦
What happens when Kang Hae-rim accidentally comes across a tiny 24/7 convenience store during one of those sleepless nights?
And what happens when she keeps coming back...
only to find the same employee behind the counter every single time?
Lee Minho.
The quiet, oddly charming, slightly-too-observant employee who seems to have made the night shift his entire personality.
At first, it's just a convenience store.
A cup of coffee.
A packet of ramen.
A few exchanged glances.
A sleepy "Welcome."
A casual "See you tomorrow."
Nothing unusual.
Nothing that should matter.
Except somehow, the midnight visits become longer.
The conversations become less awkward.
The coffees become two instead of one.
And somewhere between fluorescent lights, empty streets, convenience-store dinners, rainy windows, and conversations that were never supposed to last until sunrise...
something begins to change.
Maybe love doesn't always arrive with grand gestures and dramatic confessions.
Maybe sometimes it looks like someone remembering your usual drink.
Maybe it sounds like a quiet laugh at 2 a.m.
Maybe it waits behind a convenience-store counter, under flickering lights, while the rest of the world sleeps.
But there's one question neither of them seems ready to answer.
Will their relationship be inconvenient...
or convenient?

I suppose...
we can only wait and see. ♡
Because some stories aren't meant to break your heart.
Some are simply meant to keep you company at midnight.
