KIM (whispering)604Please respect copyright.PENANAAOo165pjFp
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 #1604Please respect copyright.PENANAwtwUm3eU4z
He came this way.
MAN #2604Please respect copyright.PENANAFifHfw8ia8
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.
KIM604Please respect copyright.PENANA4Qq7c9evqA
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN604Please respect copyright.PENANAPnjPB8nqDQ
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM604Please respect copyright.PENANAHUM9EFWaW6
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.
ZAIN604Please respect copyright.PENANA1H1qJHJwrb
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM604Please respect copyright.PENANAKXhkk27EpB
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN604Please respect copyright.PENANALbXV54l9QD
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN604Please respect copyright.PENANA1ypoZri9Nx
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.
ZAIN604Please respect copyright.PENANAatlbdA7kLl
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM604Please respect copyright.PENANA939y4lIg9b
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN604Please respect copyright.PENANAgLW2InuNU2
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM604Please respect copyright.PENANAb9RPMXRMrS
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN604Please respect copyright.PENANAUBJf20SGWQ
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.
ZAIN604Please respect copyright.PENANAUl4hPWvW3B
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.
