KIM (whispering)293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjmpDcxcUs
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.
MAN #1293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPGewWT0Jv
He came this way.
MAN #2293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyMTu0NnVB
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.
KIM293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cNH8fpQo7
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgR561eSvM
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2p6Vdps1L
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.
ZAIN293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulF2bZPeLY
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKagZXYHcN
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySLPbu6qpH
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIFuDdOkr7
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.
ZAIN293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRMCOJK5Zr
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiMivQVYdW
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuivwkvd6FX
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5IKbRVuh3
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mQwC7ymuf
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.
ZAIN293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGrulI50o3
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.
