KIM (whispering)93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE85cmESlCM
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 #193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr3Yw4JRtS
He came this way.
MAN #293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyvDd2XR6u
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.
KIM93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq6W06P8l9
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB8UDop16z
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOfukzmKSN
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.
ZAIN93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuRTaSgJzC
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N3BgFQnA0
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSpZTl8DnQ
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bgagpKhLK
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.
ZAIN93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tjE0Xo2O7
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4eHHnfUi4
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ4v7V1tMP
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhhZpKoYTJ
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoeYF4fV1v
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.
ZAIN93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlgSddx31T
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.
