Anna pants heavily.
Anna presses the doorbell.
No response.
" Ah."
Anna takes her cellphone out.
Anna searches for a name in her contacts.
" Hello ?" asked Anna.
-- " Yeah." said Shane coldly.
" Mr. Shane, could you help me ?"
-- " What's wrong ?" Shane asks as he hears her weird tone.
Anna wipes her tears.
" I'm.."
--" I'm hanging the phone."
" Wait !"
Shane sticks his ear to the phone.
Anna mumbles, "..I got cheated. I got into debt again."
The door was slammed open.
" What did you say ?!" said Shane in front of her.
" Ah."
' So Shane was in the house all along. Does he..'
" You.."
Anna lowers her head.
" They said that they would give my money back.. But they didn't."
Shane pulls Anna's hand.
They go inside.
' Is he mad ?' thought Anna.
Shane turns to her.
" You.. if you get into trouble again I won't help you anymore." said Shane.
Anna nods slowly.
Shane turns away.
Shane walks a step ahead.
" Mr. Shane."
Without thinking, Anna grabbed Shane's jacket.
" Why did you help me in the first place ?" asked Anna, still holding a piece of his jacket.
" Let go."
Shane turns to Anna.
Anna releases her grip.
" You're easily cheated on."
Anna stares at Shane walking away.

" I have a plan to win." said Shane.
Anna raises one of her eyebrow and widens her eyes, " How ?"
" Just cheat."
" I-I can't !" said Anna waving her hands.
Shane touches her hands.
" You can do it."
Anna stares at Shane.
"..I'll try !"
