KIM (whispering)627Please respect copyright.PENANAq5T7buLOon
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 #1627Please respect copyright.PENANAMTDJw2u9gP
He came this way.
MAN #2627Please respect copyright.PENANAFI8EREEH46
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.
KIM627Please respect copyright.PENANAkHp8d1QjKY
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN627Please respect copyright.PENANAcSi7pMQyCq
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM627Please respect copyright.PENANAIQJ3fq9l79
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.
ZAIN627Please respect copyright.PENANAPnDHveOOq7
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM627Please respect copyright.PENANAv1eVwdvh3g
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN627Please respect copyright.PENANARy8vvaqP9M
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN627Please respect copyright.PENANAqaej76cagB
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.
ZAIN627Please respect copyright.PENANA1YAaJZPcM5
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM627Please respect copyright.PENANAMFktJj3njS
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN627Please respect copyright.PENANAdstroPNCiQ
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM627Please respect copyright.PENANAx9A0bdSSTm
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN627Please respect copyright.PENANA98hK6Psnrl
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.
ZAIN627Please respect copyright.PENANAZHoozo3uno
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.
