Almost Home is a warm, nostalgic, quietly emotional coming-of-age romance about two young people growing up side by side in a neighborhood that’s slowly fading from the map. Ha Yoon is loud, stubborn, and exhausted from holding her family together. Min Seon-woo is quiet, steady, and used to being overlooked. They aren’t childhood sweethearts, just two neighbors who keep crossing paths at the moments life feels too heavy. Through high school stress, family burdens, late-night convenience store escapes, and silent walks home, the two develop an unspoken connection neither fully understands. But growing up pulls them in different directions. Dreams shift. Circumstances change. People leave. And feelings don’t always survive the years it takes to become an adult. When they meet again as young adults, standing in front of the only place that ever felt like home, they must decide whether the comfort they found in each other was just youth… or something worth returning to. A slice-of-life love story filled with quiet heartbreak, gentle hope, and the kind of affection that grows slowly but stays for a long time.

Artis and Ethan must decide whether the bond they once shared can survive the truth of who they’ve become. +++ Hii, Kai here. So "Christmas Lights" is a pretty atypical book (especially on Webnovel) because each chapter only has a maximum of 100 words. But you are in for a ride because less words = more emotions pumped into them. This is a work I am very proud of and wrote during a difficult period in life. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I've been writing professionally for 10 years and now I'm on Webnovel to practice consistency. I'm not that good with writing blurbs but I can assure you that my writing is great. It'll be wonderful if you decide to give me and my books a chance. If you liked the story, consider adding the book to your library and leaving a review. You can also contact me via my socials.

I let out a bitter laugh. “It’s ironic, isn’t it?

During the invasion, the Demon Lord marked Ruby, and so nightmares started targeting her sleep, dreams that felt more like threats than desires.
