KIM (whispering)273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfxNgAqvnr
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 #1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhbNA40I4X
He came this way.
MAN #2273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wiKerMK97
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.
KIM273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSrqT1crUs
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMEH4xEAwd
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKqZBc6fde
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.
ZAIN273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1stGoy8Xv
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1Ni4T7uGc
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnccA768wG
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaNR7wBRGC
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.
ZAIN273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhUA8H6bnm
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1bpgZrNW0
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E2oYhNybR
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dYjabHjX9
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHYwhnKYmU
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.
ZAIN273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaZzNP8HV5
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.
