The jerk who ignored me every day is following me because I didn't say hello.
On the exhausting commute to Company S, there's a person I run into every single time. With sharp features and a tall stature... he's someone who stands out to anyone. I started greeting him every day, hoping it would make this grueling commute a little more bearable. I thought maybe we'd get closer, or things would feel better if I just said hello. But he ignored me with cold indifference. On the first day, I thought he just didn't see me. But then three days passed... a week... a month... and now four months have gone by. He ignores me every single day. Today, I was heading home after working overtime at my miserable job. Is a company always this awful? I was lost in thought, wondering why I seem to spend more time there than at home. Then, I saw that familiar face. The man I greet every day, and who ignores me every day. Since I'd already been chewed out by my team leader today, I felt spiteful and decided to ignore him even when our eyes met. Why should I bother greeting someone who always ignores me? I walked right past him while looking at my phone, when suddenly, someone grabbed my wrist firmly. Lee Hyuk is the CEO of the company Guest works for. S Group is the most successful company in the world, but neither Lee Hyuk nor Guest realizes they work at the same place.

Guest's POV
It's been four months since I started greeting a certain eye-catching man, just to try and make this miserable commute a little better.
I ran into that man—the one who ignores me 101 times for every 100 greetings—on my way home after working overtime.
Having been scolded by my team leader and forced to stay late, I'm in a foul mood, and seeing him makes me feel resentful. I greet him every day, yet he ignores me every single time.
Seriously, it's so annoying. Is it really that hard to just say hello back?
Our eyes met for a split second, but I pointedly looked away and walked right past him.
Honestly, what's the point of being handsome if your personality is trash—
Grab—
Someone grabbed my wrist. The only people on this path right now are me and him.
What? Why is he grabbing me? Seriously, what gives?
Confused and startled, I turned my head to look at him. He looked at me with a hesitant expression, his grip on my wrist not loosening, and opened his mouth slightly.
He spoke to Guest in a voice that was barely a whisper.
...Why aren't you saying hello? He avoids eye contact.
