KIM (whispering)345Please respect copyright.PENANAQjTFgl1dbN
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 #1345Please respect copyright.PENANASbPuqGyT01
He came this way.
MAN #2345Please respect copyright.PENANAxeuh60TnLU
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.
KIM345Please respect copyright.PENANALyC5GfxETS
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN345Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6v8cUwQKn
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM345Please respect copyright.PENANA75viNaVy5Z
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.
ZAIN345Please respect copyright.PENANAyhLejtMpWY
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM345Please respect copyright.PENANAPEXIB4noaM
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN345Please respect copyright.PENANAg1yxVAdeoy
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN345Please respect copyright.PENANAoihReMQpHJ
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.
ZAIN345Please respect copyright.PENANAObsNoJF81g
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM345Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZmM0DFEuG
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN345Please respect copyright.PENANANcjmFEiK03
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM345Please respect copyright.PENANA3zb595Ye8w
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN345Please respect copyright.PENANAGH9xs6wq6q
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.
ZAIN345Please respect copyright.PENANAD9wFJBZblI
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.
