KIM (whispering)199Please respect copyright.PENANA5PaE2w8sgj
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 #1199Please respect copyright.PENANA7pTXJ1jPlC
He came this way.
MAN #2199Please respect copyright.PENANA30FEPqHQrp
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.
KIM199Please respect copyright.PENANARVDZ3hEtmS
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN199Please respect copyright.PENANAd3h0qJMan0
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM199Please respect copyright.PENANA61Sq0SA8Ig
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.
ZAIN199Please respect copyright.PENANAb2bw49S9ZI
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM199Please respect copyright.PENANAVUvGkPJ9fJ
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN199Please respect copyright.PENANAuptwQA3F4B
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN199Please respect copyright.PENANABjCG6DSNFs
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.
ZAIN199Please respect copyright.PENANAVzOIRZ9b2e
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM199Please respect copyright.PENANAOqghNrBEak
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN199Please respect copyright.PENANAl09gW4HEON
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM199Please respect copyright.PENANA8lZUSjXLxk
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN199Please respect copyright.PENANA8sMnMXazfA
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.
ZAIN199Please respect copyright.PENANAiwS4NtdfLk
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.
