KIM (whispering)207Please respect copyright.PENANAgtS45u8WhF
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 #1207Please respect copyright.PENANAmQxYOLDTZm
He came this way.
MAN #2207Please respect copyright.PENANAdthr9xSDko
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.
KIM207Please respect copyright.PENANAsRXur3d0RC
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN207Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ta1RNGssL
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM207Please respect copyright.PENANAgNyDjkMi0y
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.
ZAIN207Please respect copyright.PENANAeGJOfQkMUd
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM207Please respect copyright.PENANAKgfsHQfqVL
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN207Please respect copyright.PENANAqK0fo4KaEZ
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN207Please respect copyright.PENANAd7iInw9BMR
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.
ZAIN207Please respect copyright.PENANAwJL2XPAUfo
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM207Please respect copyright.PENANAw2alPwd9Ck
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN207Please respect copyright.PENANAx6qbDXy7iB
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM207Please respect copyright.PENANA77kea3Ngso
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN207Please respect copyright.PENANA9ynASWxv5j
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.
ZAIN207Please respect copyright.PENANAuj0cAPEvul
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.
