KIM (whispering)307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPQgEeG9pP
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 #1307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rhIGXeco3
He came this way.
MAN #2307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaWaHdMdIZ
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.
KIM307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYucHOQTbb
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbajwdvMB5
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCTwfLzV8L
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.
ZAIN307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUKQUNhVE9
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5pRuJpSRb
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm6R0EdHGE
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDnTidxn2E
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.
ZAIN307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSLFGSJ35S
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO3QvVWsBv
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq3hhoRKAM
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPA1cw8YyE
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgncOd46DMz
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.
ZAIN307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2lbXCbqAm
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.
