WHO?
*Tremble*
The entire room shook as if a minor earthquake had just hit.
Hyde's eyes glistened as he looked at Hao Xuan and spoke slowly, enunciating every single word, "Who.am.I?"
Hao Xuan ignored the shaking furniture despite the nervousness building in his heart and simply nodded.
"I've been meaning to ask this for a while. Who are you? Or maybe WHAT are you would be a better question?"
Hyde smiled. And as he smiled, only for an instant, his body seemed to split apart and two pairs of black eyes that stared at him from the dark.
Hao Xuan tensed up. His grip on the chair tightened but he still kept a nonchalant expression, trying to act calm.
"Whatever do you mean? I am you," Hyde replied gently.
"Stop. Just, stop. Enough games. I don't care who you are as long as you don't mean me any harm. But you need to tell me the truth," Hao Xuan wiped a droplet of sweat that was going down the side of his face.
Who would have thought that one could sweat in their own mind?
