I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Seeing Anne was sitting in the bathtub made Jack's emotions go up, especially with her clothes soaked because of the shower that still spraying warm water. With full emotion, Jack kicked the hanging shower so that it made a very deafening sound when the shower hit the bathroom wall. Anne, who was staring at Jack, only closed her eyes when she saw Jack was angry.

"Why are you like this?!" Jack shouted loudly right in front of Anne's face as he grabbed her shoulders.

"I can't, Jack. It scared me to remember what that guy did to me. I can't face it, Jack," said Anne softly with empty eyes.

Jack forcibly tore the shirt that Anne was wearing so that it exposed Anne's shoulders. Fortunately, Anne was still wearing a bandeu bra that was in the shape of a shirt so that her chest was not visible.

"Take a shower and clean your body, then talk. I don't want to talk in the bathroom with you like this," Jack said coldly without guilt.

"I ..."

"You have five minutes to take a warm shower. If in five minutes you don't finish or don't even take a shower, then don't blame me if I'm barging into your bathroom again and don't blame me if unwanted things happen. I'm a normal man, Anne, you have to remember that," said Jack again cut off Anne's words.

Anne nodded her head slowly hearing Jack's words. She then got up from the bath slowly shortly after Jack got up and walked away to the door.

"Only five minutes, Anne, remember that," Jack said back as he closed the bathroom door.

Anne was only silent to hear Jack's words. After the bathroom door closed, without hesitation, Anne opened one by one her clothes. Even though at this time the bathroom door was not locked from the inside, Anne slowly reached for the shower that was previously kicked by Jack.

Meanwhile, Jack was busy in the pantry. He prepared some warm drinks for Anne. He knew that Anne liked almond milk, so he warmed the almond milk that he just took out of the refrigerator. Jack was still wearing his work clothes when he came to Anne's place. He did not have time to change clothes first, because his coat was wet while gripping Anne's shoulder. Jack now only wore his white shirt which he folded up to the arm with two buttons which he leaves open so that his broad chest was visible.

Shortly after Jack finished warming the almond milk, Anne was seen coming out of the bathroom using her bathrobe. She just let her long wet hair loose without drying it first. Seeing Anne like that made Jack sighed. After turning off the electric stove, Jack walked over to Anne. Instead of talking to Anne, he went into the bathroom. Soon he came out again with two small towels that were still clean. Because he had showered in Anne's bathroom before, he now knew that there were clean towels in Anne's toiletries storage.

"Come with me," Jack said quietly as he took Anne's hand and led her to the sofa.

Anne, who still couldn't control herself, only obeyed when Jack invited her to the sofa. She could only surrender when Jack reached for her long messy hair with one towel. For five minutes, no conversation took place because Jack was busy taking care of Anne's wet hair. He didn't want Anne to get sick from sleeping with wet hair. Meanwhile, Anne herself could only remain silent while smiling occasionally when Jack accidentally pulled her hair hard.

"Jack .."

"I don't want to hear anything from your lips right now," said Jack quickly cutting off Anne's words.

"I'm thirsty," said Anne softly.

Jack immediately got up from the sofa and walked to the pantry to get the almond milk he had previously warmed. He carefully gave it to her for fear that it was still hot. Anne, who saw the glass he had just given, filled with almond milk, immediately drank it without hesitation. She even finished it in a short time, which shocked Jack.

"Are you that thirsty, Miss?" Jack asked softly teasing Anne.

"Huum, crying makes me thirsty," answered Anne innocently without guilt.

Flick!

Jack flicked Anne's forehead quickly with exasperation.

"Jack, that hurts!" Anne protests irritated.

"It's good if you can feel pain, so apparently you are still human. If you are not human you can just soak as long as possible in the bath," replied Jack coldly.

A smile appeared on Anne's face when she heard Jack's words, then she got teary eyed again. Seeing the tears had gathered back in Anne's eyes made Jack act quickly. He immediately sat beside Anne and pinched her nose hard suddenly, like he used to do in the past to stop Anne from crying. What he did was still functioning properly. Anne immediately opened her eyes wide while banging Jack's arm in protest of what Jack was currently doing to her.

"Jack, that hurts. My nose might break," said Anne loudly.

"I'd rather see you angry like this than to see you cry. You know what the reason is?" Jack asked softly trying to divert attention.

"What?" Asked Anne curtly.

"Because you look so much uglier when you cry, that's why I don't like seeing you cry," Jack replied briefly.

"Jackkkk!!" Anne screamed loudly while hitting Jack's arm quite hard.

Jack laughed wide seeing Anne got angry with him. He did not feel the pain from Anne's blow. His efforts to make Anne stop crying again finally succeeded. After hitting his arm, Anne then lowered her hand and grabbed the pillow behind Jack and hugged it tightly.

"Are you calm down now?" Jack asked softly.

"Huum."

"Can you tell me what happened?" asked Jack again.

"I-I .."

"But without teary eyes. If you tell the story with tears again then I don't want to hear it, "Jack said quickly cutting off Anne's words.

Anne, who actually wanted to tell her story, immediately closed her lips tightly. She glared at Jack who was sitting beside her.

"You're from the office? "asked Anne in surprise. She just realized that Jack was still wearing his work clothes.

"Yes," Jack replied briefly as he put his cell phone which he had just turned off on the table.

"It's almost one in the morning and you are still on working?" said Anne softly, emphasizing her words.

Jack, who wanted to reach his glass to drink, immediately canceled his intention. He then sat back down perfectly and looked at Anne with a smile.

"Even though I'm dying, when you need me, I'll get up and see you, Anne," Jack replied softly.

"Jack, watch your words!!" shouted Anne loudly, she was shocked to hear Jack said such terrible things.

"I'm serious ..."

"Stop, don't talk about it. I don't want to hear it," said Anne, cutting back Jack's words aloud.
