Bedtime Stories

🌆 "The Last Laughter of Neon City."

In the not-so-distant future, the city of "Aurora" is illuminated by blue-pink lights 24 hours a day.

The sound of cars flying by, and large screens on high-rises projected news and advertisements on holiday.

But in the midst of that turmoil,

There's an old cafe hiding in the nooks of the building - called "Lumos Brew."

This store has no light signs, no service robots, just a middle-aged man named Neon.

A shopkeeper who still makes coffee by hand and smiles at all the customers as they have known each other for a long time.

People in the city often rumor that

"Neon's coffee has magic - drink it and will laugh again, despite how tired your heart is."

One night, a young scientist named Sera came into the store.

She just got back from a lab full of machines and stress.

When I heard the coffee dripping into the glass and the warm aroma floating,

Her cold heart was like getting a light hug.

"Did the experiment succeed tonight?"

Neon asked in a smooth voice but a warm glitter.

Sera chuckled.

"Not yet... but your coffee makes me feel a little closer to success."

The man smiled.

"Sometimes...What we're looking for may not be an answer, but a smile on the way. "

Suddenly, the lights in the store flashed.

And she saw the shadow of a former boy - the neon of a teenager, laughing behind the counter.

She blinked again. The picture was gone.

"Who the hell are you?" she asked.

Neon just smiled and said,

"Just the people who want this town to have some laughter left."

The next day, Sera returned to the lab.

And started designing a new program that could contain the laughter of the people of the city.

To pass it on to anyone who feels tired or isolated -

The name of that system is "Lumos."

No one knows where the name came from.

But at night, if you hear laughter coming with the wind,

Maybe...It could be from an old cafe that doesn't exist on the map anymore. ☕✨
