KIM (whispering)285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DQNhxLdWm
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 #1285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ98SajsrLH
He came this way.
MAN #2285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv59yZQotA
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.
KIM285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYeWeXflEC
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFFHg5apjJ
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbfGqhiPk2
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.
ZAIN285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtxL8xtLgv
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbMStQfzh5
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeRK3kALvu
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEMgEbHrdI
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.
ZAIN285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWtdZvbGYL
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbELYuZ4tD7
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qUvILsqw5
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXyfZKRXhG
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KoXdAwwTv
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.
ZAIN285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoauwuhM2Op
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.
