KIM (whispering)9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DPSkL3HYD
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 #19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DHwhaHCRV
He came this way.
MAN #29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQHJevdAn9
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.
KIM9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFEczWl8Lj
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6v69KQ9FE
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xUK9QuKiC
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.
ZAIN9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WuRC6YitH
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQqsyznLsy
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI01hDM88LS
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ly8i9gero
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.
ZAIN9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiFDaWf6GT
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsxApG7WiQ
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBAl8ESFOL
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvEYw8QjUT
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsd9dnNWr9
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.
ZAIN9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKrfvfS3ia
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.
