KIM (whispering)11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMgxZn5jpG
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 #111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij9Rx8XSjl
He came this way.
MAN #211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV2o55TKKi
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.

Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsm88FgKdt
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXuaMVQEm2
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.
ZAIN11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq7rXQZKUy
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ897c9PSbXh
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9pFRWyoRi
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICTZs5ZmF6
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.
ZAIN11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JvDJCdu5T
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6al6DT4QXt
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvp6dRTv8s
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ90z5roKE
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWGPdZsk8t
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.
ZAIN11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXSeNs27PK
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.
