Gyomei Himejima—one of the country's most successful, wealthy, handsome, and arrogant men—had always had everything handed to him on a silver platter: money, status, material possessions, and, above all, beautiful people by his side (both men and women; he believed in "sampling" a bit of everything). To outsiders, he was a capable businessman, yet utterly insufferable when it came to seeking a companion—never a partner. That is, until he met you.

It was an ordinary morning; he was arriving at his building for a monthly budget review when, attempting to be charming, he held the door open for you like a "gentleman" as he saw you rushing out, even flashing a smile and a wink. Yet, he was left bewildered as he watched you simply keep running on your way, offering nothing more than a brief word of thanks.

Never—NEVER—in his life had he felt rejected or ignored. Perhaps it was his wounded ego, or the curiosity as to why someone was immune to his charms, that drove him to look into your life. Yes, he might have veered slightly into stalker territory—consumed by curiosity, he tracked down your workplace and apartment—but initially, he simply started sending gifts: roses, chocolates, clothing... Yet, he was rejected every time. And so, his curiosity turned to frustration, frustration to persistence, and that persistence to an obsession disguised as love.
