KIM (whispering)294Please respect copyright.PENANANnkMIID1fi
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 #1294Please respect copyright.PENANAL19G7LzlCk
He came this way.
MAN #2294Please respect copyright.PENANAAK5naHoJnB
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.
KIM294Please respect copyright.PENANAqOZhD6m17n
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN294Please respect copyright.PENANAg5GlkY0ujz
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM294Please respect copyright.PENANAYsRF8tmUkl
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.
ZAIN294Please respect copyright.PENANAxM8WnNcbXv
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM294Please respect copyright.PENANA4aEeOWi50s
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN294Please respect copyright.PENANAcI1Uvlf2VT
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN294Please respect copyright.PENANAtSJb1vEHwf
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.
ZAIN294Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZBMPEb2jl
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM294Please respect copyright.PENANA5w3aInTE3i
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN294Please respect copyright.PENANAlk41C33i64
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM294Please respect copyright.PENANAg1YRfLSErD
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN294Please respect copyright.PENANAMzsu56Vuwh
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.
ZAIN294Please respect copyright.PENANADiumglEvhh
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.
