*** "*Sobs* I'm so happy to have a character that's exactly like me." - @TakenUsernameSoz. "This story is so normal that it's unique; a breath of fresh air! Gives us normal girls hope, hi hi!" - @LocalSlayer "This book is seriously my inspiration to not be afraid to show who I am." - @Who_Says_Duh "THAT IS SO ME!!!!! IS THIS SOME TYPE OF VOODOO, MAGICAL BOOK OR SOME SHIT?!?!" - @ThePanther10101. *** Let's face it, none of those cliché situations from movies between a guy and a girl ever happen in real life. I'm not going to end up accidentally bumping into my future husband in a café, spilling a latte over him. I'm not going to go up to some random stranger and ask him for directions and he'll become mesmerised by the colour of my eyes and fall in love with me. The window of my bedroom doesn't happen to be situated opposite to that of a 'bad boy neighbour'. I was daydreaming, again. Something I do on a daily basis. Nothing different, right? Well, let's just say I didn't snap out of my little 'trance' until I saw a guy waving frantically at me, smiling. Oh shit, he's hot. He probably thinks I was checking him out. Great, now he's coming over. Kill me. *** • Highest rankings: #1 in Modeling - #1 in Awkward - #3 in Humor.

Kian, a vampire. Meets Eli at the café during late-night shifts. Eli treats him like a normal customer, which Kian finds unusual. Kian starts coming every night, not just for food or drinks, but to observe Eli... I originally planned for this to be a manhwa, but I've had some doubts about committing to the full project. Think of this as a pilot episode to see if it resonates with you guys!

This is the anthology story of the Drama Virgos universe. This is a spinoff of the Tara Preston book series

Hidden in the center of Seoul, Null Point Café is a place where the world slows down - no Wi-Fi, no signal, just warm lights, quiet jazz, and a notebook where strangers leave pieces of themselves behind. When Gabriel Min, a quiet member of the global boy group AURION, accidentally discovers the café after a long rehearsal, he finds something he hasn't had in years - anonymity, silence, and the freedom to simply be Gabriel. Owned by Jenna Solene Han, a former cybersecurity expert who left behind a life of constant monitoring, Null Point was built as a refuge from the noise of the digital world. But when Gabriel begins returning night after night, the quiet space she created slowly becomes something more. In a place designed for disconnection, two people begin to find connection - one quiet conversation at a time.

Over cups of coffee and stolen moments past midnight, two lonely souls collide.

(NEW CHAPTER EVERYDAY!) For Kang Yunjin, life is a series of precisely timed interactions. As the head barista at Espresso Theory, the city's most prestigious, minimalist café, her reputation is as flawless as her latte art. With a successful fiancé and a future mapped out like a Pinterest board, Yunjin has everything she's supposed to want. But perfection gets boring. When a chaotic new hire named Felix joins the staff, he disrupts more than just her morning rush. He's loud, he's messy, and he treats her like a person instead of a doll. Between after-hours whipped cream wars and secret late-night laughs, Yunjin starts to realise that her "perfect" life is actually just empty. As the pressure of her upcoming wedding builds, Yunjin must decide: stay safe in the quiet, or risk everything for a life that's finally out of order.

"Why does it seem like the universe is saying not to do something every time we start being... maybe civil?" Description of sorts inside my lovelies. (This started as a oneshot draft but it got out of hand... 👀)

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.

In the strange world of the digital circus, Pomni just wants a moment of calm. But in Jewelfish, an impossible café beneath the water, she ends up sharing something unexpected with Jax: an honest conversation, fragmented memories... and a connection that feels far too real. Because in a place where everything is artificial, even a perfect moment can shatter. Beautiful cover art by @marijxlia on Instagram

Ivan Guillermo de la Vega knows how to write about people. He just doesn't get involved. As a writer for the Indiana Daily Student, he's built his life on observation-clean, precise, and carefully neutral. Until one late night, when he answers a simple AI prompt and creates something he doesn't expect: An ideal. Calm. Consistent. Someone who stays. He closes the tab and forgets about it. The next day, he walks into a café and meets him. Owen Maverick Turner isn't loud. He doesn't try to impress. He doesn't interrupt. He just... stays. And somehow, without even realizing it, he becomes everything Ivan wrote down that night. What begins as coincidence becomes pattern. What feels manageable becomes undeniable. Ivan knows how to observe. He knows how to write. But this time, he's no longer outside the story.

The Sweet N' Chewy Café -- Where delectable and savory treats run your world. Be it an escape from work, or an escape for work, the café holds the key to an amazing day, everyday! Not for Rayne. No. His life's been nothing but work and people pleasing ever since he was orphaned and taken in by his boss, Riyana, who runs the place. With his magical ability to control water, Rayne has been the star of the cafe for nearly ten years. Exhausted after every performance, on the verge of using his power against Riyana, and constantly looking after his younger co-workers, Rayne has had enough. But a new addition to the band of performers catches his eyes, completely, utterly halting his plans of escaping the café. Conner's goofy grins and optimistic charm are like a magic of their own! Every passing moment Rayne spends with him leaves him even giddier than the last. Rayne is sure he can figure everything out, from escaping Riyana's control to confessing his feelings to Conner, and everything in between. If only a certain tiny, flying tiger could leave him alone for five minutes. UPDATES EVERY WEEKEND (Saturday/Sunday)
