KIM (whispering)57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHNTsiyzxt
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 #157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupsrIBx361
He came this way.
MAN #257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ7y7cVesF
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.
KIM57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohIBW1s6sn
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFgH2hLDDa
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8VblmzHO6
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.
ZAIN57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlmZptbxyU
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMEoGBwIGf
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3MmbFhK8U
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3aQ4Gek8k
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.
ZAIN57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz10mNhEPZ
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPLnTZQpIp
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z2a8dXwbP
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxfHDUoqiW
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZHegoHs1x
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.
ZAIN57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40jNyZ7uzA
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.
