KIM (whispering)201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlixTWYujBi
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 #1201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX8yfNLsnT
He came this way.
MAN #2201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNoySLRM7m
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.
KIM201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwADV7RDLJ
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTomT81pjP
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZqgnqrd2U
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.
ZAIN201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzktjJtsnw
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTASnt3Hyw
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8jl4SYNGh
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrWaY31VK8
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.
ZAIN201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8qRKzUNQG
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHeF2BQbyl
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3EQ1BK4Hq
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluZj41elPv
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYB1pqNEJ9
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.
ZAIN201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrBC8DhMcz
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.
