KIM (whispering)202Please respect copyright.PENANASAHq4GrqCW
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 #1202Please respect copyright.PENANAvu3jtg8i5L
He came this way.
MAN #2202Please respect copyright.PENANAmYNNhYyCMX
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.
KIM202Please respect copyright.PENANA9RQ4HqsO0g
Thank you. I… I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
ZAIN202Please respect copyright.PENANAsMJKiO6ZgP
What the hell did you do? Rob someone?
KIM202Please respect copyright.PENANA9GJmv0gZlg
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.
ZAIN202Please respect copyright.PENANAQYQokjhkkf
Look, I don’t know what you’re into, but you can’t keep running like this.
KIM202Please respect copyright.PENANAQVwggCqsrT
I don’t have a choice.
ZAIN202Please respect copyright.PENANA5Dj5wGHvN2
Maybe you do now.
ZAIN glances back at the street, making sure the coast is clear before pulling his hood over his head.
ZAIN202Please respect copyright.PENANAJDfM30ggwq
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.
ZAIN202Please respect copyright.PENANASgzZrMwUjb
You can crash here. The couch is all yours.
KIM202Please respect copyright.PENANA19BPbJiFkx
I appreciate it. Just for tonight.
ZAIN202Please respect copyright.PENANAriNSoXNsaY
Sure. (pauses) I’ll grab you a towel.
KIM wanders to the window, peeking through the blinds. His shoulders remain tense.
KIM202Please respect copyright.PENANA2wZiPSRuiE
You don’t even know me. Why are you helping?
ZAIN returns, tossing a towel onto the couch.
ZAIN202Please respect copyright.PENANAU2gOmWkYzM
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.
ZAIN202Please respect copyright.PENANA5A9D1tA33B
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.
