My Next Door Neighbor Is Strange

Synopsis

[Sex Practice? I’ll Help You.]

“Let’s stop. Us.”

Those were the words my lover said to me as I lay there catching my breath after sex. Even if a sudden downpour had fallen from a clear sky, I think I would have been less shaken than I was in that moment.

“Why? What brought this on all of a sudden?” “Sex with you isn’t fun.”

This is already the third time I’ve been dumped for such an absurd, bewildering reason. I’ve gone past emptiness and sadness and started wondering if there really is something wrong with me.

“Hey, Seohyun. What does it… actually mean… to be good at it?” “Excuse me? Good at what?” “…Sex. I was thinking of trying to practice on my own, at least.”

It was something I blurted out while drunk, half out of spite. I felt wronged, but I was also genuinely curious. Just how amazing is the sex everyone else is having?

“I can help you.” “Huh?”

But something feels off. As Seohyun quietly listens to my worries, his eyes seem filled with heat. Is that just because I’ve had too much to drink?

“I said I’ll help you. With that practice.”
