KIM (whispering)334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD1kaYcNeP
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 #1334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI1daPz5IW
He came this way.
MAN #2334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUUrFzNdav
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.
KIM334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw82FNYd5Zt
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKQCKS788A
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2AqCZn5TC
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.
ZAIN334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1tdMBDiqp
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ3uGWlRsY
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1FQTnOxCO
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP3FZMWb0x
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.
ZAIN334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOqvK2ukYv
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgCIhCZ4HH
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eux1fFeOl
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqLTpQLwF0
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Bq2302rYN
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.
ZAIN334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKA1fDB4xK
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.
