KIM (whispering)306Please respect copyright.PENANAyBEavs170j
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 #1306Please respect copyright.PENANA578lsXRpmD
He came this way.
MAN #2306Please respect copyright.PENANAjtwPJahi8F
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.
KIM306Please respect copyright.PENANAQW3E3h28BU
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN306Please respect copyright.PENANAdtH7hfrc1b
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM306Please respect copyright.PENANAsAtrqis6VK
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.
ZAIN306Please respect copyright.PENANAhx2RxSLI6m
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM306Please respect copyright.PENANA26fsQfNSw7
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN306Please respect copyright.PENANAwREdY6BurT
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN306Please respect copyright.PENANAt0zsoTpJ1t
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.
ZAIN306Please respect copyright.PENANAnoZot51j5N
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM306Please respect copyright.PENANAkdAloY4w0b
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN306Please respect copyright.PENANAoJM6P1oen5
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM306Please respect copyright.PENANAODlbe33cgp
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN306Please respect copyright.PENANALjio4Lu0Pe
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.
ZAIN306Please respect copyright.PENANAVoAwh9VMNP
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.
