Where the Lights stays ON

On a quiet backstreet in Seoul, there’s a small café that never closes. Warm lights glow through the windows long after midnight. The coffee is strong, the bread is fresh, and the people inside seem… a little too watchful. They call it Five Leaves Café. Few customers know that the gentle owner who brews their coffee once led a secret military squad that officially “never existed.” Or that the smiling barista, the clumsy cook, the soft-spoken baker, and the playful floor manager were once ghosts of the battlefield too. They survived missions no one would admit happened. Then one day, they disobeyed an order. And lost everything. Now, Kang Do-hyun only wants one thing — a quiet life where no one else gets hurt. No more guns. No more blood. Just coffee… and lights that stay on. But peace is fragile. When Yoon Se-rin, the nation’s most beloved actress, stumbles into his café while running from relentless cameras and a life she can no longer breathe in, their worlds collide. She lives under spotlights. He hides in the shadows. She’s adored by millions. He trusts no one. Yet somehow, in the stillness after closing time, between burnt coffee, shared meals, and sleepless nights, they begin to find something they thought they’d lost long ago— Comfort. Safety. Home. But the past doesn’t disappear so easily. Old missions resurface. Secrets begin to unravel. And the closer Se-rin gets to Do-hyun, the more dangerous loving him becomes. Because some ghosts don’t stay buried. And some wars follow you home. Still… Every night, the café lights turn on. Waiting. For the broken. For the lost. For anyone who needs a place to rest. And maybe— for two tired hearts learning how to love again.

THE PRESENCE

His name was Nathaniel Emberworth Wyndham, a simple nineteen-year-old with unruly dark hair that often fell over his deep, shadowed eyes, he moved unnoticed through the bustling streets of the city he reluctantly called home—a world too loud for someone who preferred silence. But one day, everything changed. Nathaniel found himself in another world—Infipousdefinity Despous Ta-Neter Mundus—a place of endless mysteries, strange beings, and creatures unlike anything known to man. **The reason i created this novel** Sometimes, we find ourselves in new places—new environments, new cultures, surrounded by new people. And in those unfamiliar worlds, some will take advantage of your ignorance. They will trick you, deceive you, or try to manipulate you for their own gain. In such an environment, where there’s no one to rely on but yourself, you must observe carefully and stay cautious. Don’t give your trust easily. Learn to survive and live on your own without depending too much on others. We dream new dreams. We grow cautious because of people. We crave things like status and wealth, knowing how hard life can be without them. We miss the ones we used to laugh with, miss our families—even just a little. We feel the distance, the separation, and fear we might not overcome the challenges ahead. As our surroundings change, we experience new things. Some people abandon us, while others change on their own—maturing, evolving. Yet even as we grow, we remain the same person behind that mature facade. We stumble and cry, we feel pain and keep it buried inside. But in time, we learn to fight back, realizing that pain fades once we learn to shield and defend ourselves.
