KIM (whispering)209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooa3eDuR2Y
Please. Just stay quiet. Don’t move.
ZAIN’s wide eyes shift from KIM to the street as the three men approach, scanning the area. One of them pauses at the alley entrance. KIM holds his breath, his hand instinctively tightening around ZAIN’s wrist. ZAIN notices but says nothing.

He came this way.
MAN #2209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6exguOh4I
Nah, he wouldn’t risk running into someone.
After a tense moment, the men move on, their footsteps fading. KIM slowly releases his grip on ZAIN, exhaling deeply.
KIM209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu8GYtGfbo
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSAxKuBYTs
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75oyse80A6
I wish it was that simple.
They exchange glances. KIM’s eyes betray the weight of his circumstances. ZAIN hesitates but eventually sighs, brushing rain from his jacket.
ZAIN209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMENZhZVyh
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO08OJ1q4iY
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9cDATvtY0
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUIeQN9rap
Come on. Let’s get out of here.
KIM follows him, their footsteps blending into the city hum. Somewhere in the distance, the faint echoes of danger still linger.
INT. ZAIN'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
The door creaks open as ZAIN flicks on the light, revealing a modest but tidy space. KIM steps inside hesitantly, dripping water onto the floor.
ZAIN209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4IQQODJX1
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3uvxCHAaZ
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C55nX6bIg
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekolHFLO9X
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuW2JcssC3
Honestly? I have no idea. Maybe I’m bored. You look like you need someone too.
KIM catches ZAIN’s gaze, a flicker of unspoken gratitude passing between them.
ZAIN209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUKWr4Tpvn
Get some rest. We’ll figure things out in the morning.
KIM nods, sinking onto the couch as ZAIN retreats to his room. The city lights outside the window pulse gently, like a heartbeat against the dark.
