My Next-Door Introvert Is Actually Irresistibly Sweet — The "Frigid" Me Gets Loved and Laid Bare by My Favorite

“Cute. It just makes me want to turn you on even more.” Shinonome Rei is known as the “cool beauty of the Design Department.” But the truth is, she’s just bad at showing her emotions. Even with her boyfriend of two months, things grew distant after their first time having sex didn’t go well. My quiet support came from two people: Tsukikage, the section chief I deeply respect, and mono—the model I’ve admired for so long. Then one day, I witness my boyfriend cheating. The other woman sneers at me, mocking my “frigidness” and saying, “You’re basically over as a woman.” As I sit there in shock, mono appears in front of me. He’s kind—he’s only trying to comfort a hurt fan, and yet… when he softly says, “Spend tonight with me,” I end up accepting his invitation for a sweet, fleeting night. With the gaze I’ve seen so many times in ads—with his fingertips, with the tip of his tongue— he carefully exposes parts of me I never knew, so deeply I can’t escape. I never felt anything with my ex, but with just one kiss from him, my breath trembles, and I get wet so easily. Tonight, I’m sure of it— I won’t be able to go back.
