KIM (whispering)275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TwC7eUIgg
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 #1275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTmePHRiio
He came this way.
MAN #2275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5pGiOvadu
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.
KIM275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIXQWDp8xa
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXBgUEQTIZ
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfue2ivOxFX
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.
ZAIN275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqeuGh2BMM
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdctQWNTojR
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt5e1uedfG
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7L3NWVrSE
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.
ZAIN275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFIrm09aTB
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnawoOs7BnF
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K5hs9GW6B
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYrBk0ipKj
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrpPYgB9FN
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.
ZAIN275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK0qGw4csU
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.
