KIM (whispering)12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHiuj7MvPg
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 #112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSABr0s2BY
He came this way.
MAN #212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1xdUFvcLG
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.
KIM12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAz1K3WNrK
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E6EGrhVmS
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIyAMqwftk
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.
ZAIN12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWeh62qfll
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3todKPhre
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSIFM1hQgg
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNGE41o11C
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.
ZAIN12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DJay8nCF1
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjivuRyuNJ
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dD94xOV34
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk4WSAwDbp
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerNoHc0grV
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.
ZAIN12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEkThLjo4Z
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.
