SEVENTEEN Imagines

Imagine 45: Impostor

Y/N's (Your Name) Point of View

"All you need to do is to take care of him. Give him food if his hungry. Ask him if he needs anything. Make sure you look for him every time and you must observe every move or any action that he will do. Understood?"

"Yes madam. I will do my job properly. I promise you madam that I will not make any mistakes"

"Good. Then we'll get going"

I bowed to her. She got into the car and they finally left.

And here I am, standing in front of their huge mansion.

Yeah, it is really huge. Huge enough for three people.

Madam Thesa, together with her husband and his son, are the only ones who lived in this mansion. At first, I thought their whole family lived in here, but I guess I was wrong, it's only the three of them.

And right now, it's only me and his son, Master Hao.

I walked on their long hallway.

It's kinda dark, cold, and it does looks creepy, but I'm not scared at all. This is just nothing to me. I even find it cool.

After I reached the end of their hallway, I stopped and faced a big door. I knocked it three times and opened it without any hesitation.

If you're still confused about my role or purpose here, well... I am Master Hao's personal maid and I'm the first and only maid in this family.

"Do you need anything, Master Hao?", I asked with full of respect but he looks like he didn't hear anything.

Master Hao has an illness and it is kinda rare in our country. Madam Thesa said to me that it looks like he's illness is affecting his brain.

No, he's not going crazy. I think there will be just a little bit wrong in his mind, that's why Madam Thesa and his husband left to find him a personal doctor and some medicine too.

"Your name", Master Hao suddenly spoke.

"My name is Y/N. Pleasure to meet you Master Hao", I said, still with full respect.

"Are you hungry Master Hao?", I asked him using my gentle voice.

He finally looked at me and stood up.

He is somewhat handsome and intimidating at the same time. He's tall and thin, and his clothes, it really fits him. Looks like he has a good sense of fashion.

"You have a very beautiful name", he coldly said.

"Really? Thank you Master Hao"

"I prefer you calling me Hao"

I nodded, "If that's what you want, Hao"

"I want a toasted bread and a milk. Make sure the milk is warm"

"Okay, no problem. Just wait for me here", I left his room and closed it slowly.

~-~-~-~

While waiting for the bread, I concoct milk. As I was stirring it, I felt a pair of eyes looking at me from behind.

"Hao, didn't I told you to stay at your--", I didn't finished what I was going to say.

No one was there. No one was looking at me.

Then why did I felt like someone was looking at me?

Maybe I was just hallucinating.

I just shake my head and continued what I was doing.

After placing everything into the tray, I cleaned the kitchen first before going back to Hao's room.

~-~-~-~

I knocked the door three times before opening it.

I slowly pushed the tray inside of his room and my eyes were looking for him.

Hao is not here.

"Hao?", I said while roaming around his big room.

"Hao where are you?.... Hao your food is ready. You don't want to drink a cold milk don't you?"

Still no answer.

"Hao!", this time I finally shouted as I go out from his room.

"Why do you keep calling my name?", I looked on my right side and there he is, holding a book while wearing pajamas??

He's not wearing pajamas a while ago though... Maybe he decided to change.

"Hao your food is ready", I said while showing him a respectful smile.

"Hao? How dare you call me that?"

My eyes widened.

"Didn't you said earlier that you prefer me calling you Hao?", I said, out of confusion.

He scoffed, "What a nonsense. I didn't told you that. Did you hit your head a while ago or what?"

I don't know what to say nor react.

Something's not right here.

"Also, I didn't told you to make me some food, I'm not yet hungry", he added and now I felt shivers down my spine.

"Don't tell me..."

"Don't tell you what??", he sarcastically said.

I breathed in.

"Master Hao, where have you been a while ago?", I suddenly asked.

He looks at me seriously.

"At the library, reading some books, obviously", he showed me the book that he was holding.

"Then.. have we talked a while ago?"

"Obviously no. I was staying at the library for almost 3 hours. I don't even know that you're already here and that my parents already left", he explained.

I'm starting to feel anxious which is bad, so bad.

"No way", I said, while looking down and breathing heavily.

"Hey what's wrong? Are you drunk or what?", he worriedly said.

I looked up to him, "If you really stayed in the library for almost 3 hours and you didn't ordered me to make you some food, you didn't know that your parents already left and I already arrived, plus you didn't also told me to call you Hao, then who was I talking to earlier?"

He looked at me with a confused stare.

Then someone suddenly spoke behind him...

"It was me"

Master Hao and I both looked at him.

My eyes widened as I covered my mouth.

They have the same face and the same voice.

Is he Master Hao's doppelganger?

Does these things really exist?

"W-why do y-you have the same f-face?", I stuttered.

"I don't know", Master Hao coldly said as he faced the guy who has the same face as his. The guy who told me to call him 'Hao'.

"You're just an impostor and I'm the original", the guy said and all of a sudden, he gets a knife behind him.

"W-what are you g-gonna do?", I said and I can feel my whole body shaking.

"Well, just want to have some fun with you guys", he said while smirking.

Then he started to run towards us while facing the knife to us.

My knees started to weakened. I closed my eyes as my tears started to fall down.

Am I going to die?

I was getting ready to feel the cold tip of the knife but what I felt was me floating.

It turns out that Master Hao is already carrying me while running away from his crazy doppelganger.

"Let's get out of here", he whispered to me then I just closed my eyes and let him take me wherever he wants.

The End
