On the way back to An Tian's home from the gym, Jake didn't talk a word.
As they entered the home, Noah stretched his body sideways to relax and commented, "We should plan this gym thing daily."
"It seems like you enjoyed it," An Tian asked as the three were busy removing the shoes.
"Women here are prettier. I missed a lot from being there in England."
"You can make up for it now," said An Tian as his sight passed across Jake, who was silent, but An Tian knew he was angry inside.
"I'll try my best. It looks like days in Chian would be heavenly."
Jake pushed his shoes aside with his feet angrily and stepped to go away.
The other two didn't fail to notice his anger since the moment they left the gym.
"Are you alright, Jake?" Noah asked.
"None of your business," Jake commented and went to the kitchen to get water.
"Brother An Tian, this guy needs to have a woman now. You know when men don't get to relieve...I mean cool down themselves, they act like this," said Noah.
"What do you suggest?" An Tian asked as he put his shoes on the shoe rack.
Noah got up and picked up Jake's shoes that Jake just pushed to one side. Putting both of their shoes in the shoe rack, side by side, Noah answered, "We should get him someone like Nicole. She is exciting, and our guy won't be able to hold back.
Jake, who finished drinking water, heard it all and squeezed the water bottle in his hand.
"What do you say, Jake?" An Tian asked.
Not answering him, Jake went towards his room, and the next moment they heard the loud noise of the door closing.
SLAM!!
"Brother An Tian, you should keep a few more pairs of doors ready. I don't think that door will last long," Noah commented as he smiled.
An Tian sighed, "The way things are going, I am sure I need to get an entirely new home."
Jake went to the bathroom and stood under the shower. The cold water pouring on his head was working on cooling down his anger.
He didn't know why he could not control his anger these days when he always did his best to do so. What was happening to him suddenly?
What his brother said to him was true? Will he be like this always? Will his angry side take over him? Did he need to listen to his brother and go to the women?
'What? No way,' Jake exclaimed in his mind and almost punched the bathroom wall in front of him.
He felt like destroying everything around him but chose to stand under the shower; his head lowered down with his eyes closed and hands resting on the glass wall. He let himself calm down as the water flowed along his well-toned muscular body.
When Jake was out of the bathroom, he heard knocking on the door. The door opened, and An Tian entered the room.
"I need to go out as there is an emergency at work," An Tian informed.
"Hmm," nodding calmly, Jake went to the wardrobe.
"Are you alright?" An Tian asked, seeing how silent Jake was.
"Hmm!"
An Tian didn't know what to say because he knew what his brother was going through, and he wished his brother to decide on his own what he wanted.
"I should go back to England," Jake said.
"Will that solve everything?" An Tian asked.
"Not sure, but at least it won't create trouble for others," Jake commented.
"For others or…"
"I think you would be late for work," Jake interrupted his brother.
Respecting his younger brother's wish not to talk further, An Tian nodded.
"You can order breakfast from outside, or everything is there if you want to cook something," An Tian instructed and left.
Getting ready, Jake went to the kitchen as he planned to cook something. Cooking was one of the ways he could distract himself.
He looked around, but Noah was not there. Not minding it, Jake took the vegetables out from the refrigerator and got certain things from the kitchen's mini pantry.
Noah came out of his room and saw Jake in the kitchen, washing vegetables.
"Is your highness making a royal treat?" Noah teased as he went to the kitchen.
Jake didn't answer him and continued his work. Noah was used to such behavior from the cold guy and didn't mind it.
"What should I help you with?" Noah asked, "Chopping?"
"Just go and sit there," Jake instructed.
"I can't let your highness be my slave. You should save it for your woman," Noah commented and pulled out the knife and chopping board.
Jake was about to give him a cold glare, but just then, Noah leaned closer to him to get the washed vegetables on the other side of Jake. Jake stood frozen as Noah's face was closer to his face and in his sight just an inch apart.
The pleasant scent from Noah's just washed and damp hair played with his senses, and Jake gulped. Noah's hands brushed his arms only to give him goosebumps.
Just as Noah moved back and put the vegetables on the chopping board, not knowing what he just did with his friend, Jake exhaled the breath he was holding in.
Noah's cell phone that he kept on the kitchen platform rang, and he received the call.
"Hey, Nicole," There was a pleasant smile on Noah's lips that Jake didn't like.
The woman on the other side of the line talked, and Noah replied, "Oh, really? I didn't know brother An Tian was coming there, or I would have come to you...I mean...come to his office."
Noah paused to hear something as he continued smiling, "See you tonight," and hung up the call.
Jake understood what it was felt like to choke Noah at the very moment, but he couldn't.
Noah started chopping the vegetable, but Jake held his hand, "I don't need your help. Get the hell out of here."
Noah looked at Jake and understood Jake was angry about something. The way Jake looked at him, his sight cold and anger filled in it.
"Man, you behaved weird these days. Not good, be angry all the time. Seriously you need to get laid."
Noah commented and tried to pull his hand out of Jake's hold, but before that, Jake held his other hand and pinned him against the refrigeartor.
