KIM (whispering)605Please respect copyright.PENANA1GI08DxtTH
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 #1605Please respect copyright.PENANADeuMpEETxP
He came this way.
MAN #2605Please respect copyright.PENANAeORGE8CZ2e
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.
KIM605Please respect copyright.PENANA4qMXYm94l3
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN605Please respect copyright.PENANA6yt5Tb9ysS
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM605Please respect copyright.PENANARV7ICbdk5J
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.
ZAIN605Please respect copyright.PENANAjqVTt6DmkI
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM605Please respect copyright.PENANAEofvjVTKa4
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN605Please respect copyright.PENANA7IWV6Nx4dY
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN605Please respect copyright.PENANAUvhE7p97xE
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.
ZAIN605Please respect copyright.PENANABdoga9nnOg
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM605Please respect copyright.PENANAtDTOD8rCOB
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN605Please respect copyright.PENANArZeadNzDbZ
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM605Please respect copyright.PENANAPN1K95vrp4
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN605Please respect copyright.PENANA6epg209q4w
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.
ZAIN605Please respect copyright.PENANA8dbmY2t1xB
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.
