KIM (whispering)287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvlKfr27bw
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 #1287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC2Ac4OOme
He came this way.
MAN #2287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I1LEbjbTq
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.
KIM287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FcW1xHwH7
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttQxTRqCZa
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWh4S5oEDH
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.
ZAIN287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3EGKsct3P
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wrr4hSwpo
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkkSDcIaNF
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZTfsAy2E4
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.
ZAIN287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2roU3gOxZ
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g0FLFxZAF
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA7W4AlO0w
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuyl87Xm98
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yeoFx6nKO
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.
ZAIN287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVwH4JyLAD
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.
