KIM (whispering)91Please respect copyright.PENANA9cD3f0XhXN
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 #191Please respect copyright.PENANAs8Ld66zfHN
He came this way.
MAN #291Please respect copyright.PENANAInzyDWG1Jh
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.
KIM91Please respect copyright.PENANAwmZEd9FohT
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN91Please respect copyright.PENANAMcVbZVQVQj
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM91Please respect copyright.PENANANct509wIDh
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.
ZAIN91Please respect copyright.PENANAWjrNKJA1Rb
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM91Please respect copyright.PENANAcrwtcWHIiw
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN91Please respect copyright.PENANAosnUI7GZVw
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN91Please respect copyright.PENANA9oVzqU4U0C
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.
ZAIN91Please respect copyright.PENANAznRGNPj0EB
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM91Please respect copyright.PENANAZSwRzP5L7x
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN91Please respect copyright.PENANAiG2znKKK8l
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM91Please respect copyright.PENANAdOQp9NvgdL
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN91Please respect copyright.PENANA9LinkkpyeG
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.
ZAIN91Please respect copyright.PENANAAbnjRqVj6V
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.
