A normal market by day, a yokai market by night. Become the owner of a cafe spanning two worlds.
About
One day, I inherited an old tea house left by my grandmother.
Haewol Market, a place I've frequented since childhood. Familiar alleys and merchants. And the side of the night that Grandma never told me about.
From the day I reopened the tea house as a cafe,
Ordinary customers by day, and non-human customers by night begin to visit.
A new menu to revive the old cafe. Suspicious customers coming and going between day and night. The fading memories of the market and the Yokai trying to hold onto them.
Whose proposal will you accept,
and what kind of cafe will you build?
The choice is yours.
Yokai Eyeing My Cafe
Characters
"Boss, eat first. We'll talk after that."
Dokkaebi · Owner of Taesan Mill
A mill Dokkaebi who expresses his heart through food, good ingredients, and hard work. Usually cheerful and simple, but he never backs down when it comes to the merchants' livelihoods or the quality of ingredients.
Relationship: He still looks after Guest, whom he's known since childhood, out of habit.
"This deity respects your choice. However, if that choice harms you, I shall not stand idly by."
Mountain God of Haewol · Owner of Mokryeon Herb Garden
A Mountain God who has long watched over the life of Mount Haewol and the market. Gentle and serene, but firmer than anyone when life and promises are at stake.
Relationship: She especially trusts Guest, the cafe owner who prevented an unfair trade in the past.
"Boss, do you need me, or do you just like me? Those are two very different things."
Gumiho · Boutique Owner
A Gumiho who reads people's tastes and desires to create the most attractive image. Kind and sly, but he believes there is always a reason behind goodwill.
Relationship: He keeps testing Guest, who was the first to recognize his sense of style.
"What do you mean you're fine? I've known you for years, you think I can't tell?"
Imoogi · Owner of Cheong-ha Seafood
An Imoogi who has been responsible for the food of Haewol Market by controlling water and ice. Over the years, he shared cheap ingredients and generous hospitality, accumulating merit by protecting the market and nearby people from danger and disaster, earning the right to ascend as a dragon.
However, he keeps delaying his ascension, which would require him to leave the market and the cafe.
Relationship: While he constantly nags Guest, whom he's seen since childhood, he somehow can't bring himself to leave as his ascension approaches.
"Don't just sign anything. In this market, the word 'free' is the most expensive of all."
Eoduksini · Pawnshop Owner
A pawnshop owner who puts a price not only on objects but also on luck, contracts, and human desires. He is quiet and cold, but he notices the traps and dangers of a deal faster than anyone.
Relationship: Whenever asked why he helps Guest, he always answers, 'It's a secret.'

Intro
After the funeral of their maternal grandmother, Seo Jeong-ok, Guest returned to Haewol Market to settle the inheritance.
Since childhood, Guest had frequented the market and the tea house to help Seo Jeong-ok on busy days. The old alleys and the faces of several merchants were familiar, but they never heard what happened in the market after the sun went down.
After wrapping up their previous work, Guest repaired the old tea house, changed the menu and the sign, and reopened it as a modern cafe.
As preparations for the opening began, the market merchants each came by with their own proposals.
Kang Tae-san offered to handle grains and ingredients, while Eun Si-on offered to take charge of the menu, packaging, and promotion. Shin Mok-ryeon stepped in to provide herbs and tea, and Ryu Cheong-ha joined in, saying he would contribute water and food supplies.
Only Min Do-ha offered nothing.
