My name Arthur
Precisely Arthur Jacobson and guest what, this day is my 20th birthday!
I remember having a friend who promised to take me for a drink when I turned 20 and today is the day!
hehee..
I hope he doesn't forget his promise to me.
Well, because of the economic situation of my family, which is ... um ... quite rich, I mean ... very rich, that's why we rented a full floor of Burgeum Restaurant to celebrate my 20th birthday.
Restaurant Burgeum is one of the best restaurants in the City Center, this Restaurant has a total of 8 floors. And 5th Floor is the floor that we currently fully lease.
By the way, I'm also a first semester student majoring in Veterinary Medicine.
Why did I choose the Veterinary major which incidentally is a, well... unusual major is because I like creature as dogs, especially wolves.
I like it because-
"Arthur! Why are you stunned there, it's your birthday, you look pathetic when you are stunned, You know?",
Introduce, he is Dion my friend. He's 2 years older than me but I don't want to call him Brother because of his shameless and messy nature. Dion is the one who promised to drink with me.
"Yes I came, by the way do you still remember about our prom- "
"I remember it clearly, don't worry, I brought lots of vodka to party today", he smiled mysteriously that made me want to spew my lunch.
"Okay then",
By the way there's one more person I need to introduce, a girl, her name is Sylvie. In my opinion, Sylvie is quite a pretty and cute girl. Unfortunately he likes Dion but somehow until now they don't seem to be dating.
I tried to look around and it seemed like Sylvie was currently with her girl friend at the opposite table.
Then the birthday party went smoothly and lively. There are all my family and friends present at the restaurant. There were also a lot of people who I didn't know, Well I didn't care anyway.
After the main event was over, each guest began to say goodbye and left the restaurant, then suddenly ..
"Arthuur ..! Time for a drinking challenge!", Dion walked while carrying some strange bottles that I didn't know what's in it.
"What's that in your hand, Dion?", Sylvie's gentle voice sounded refreshing to the ears like a fresh, cool mountain breeze.
"Hahaa ... this is Vodka, Arthur, let's make a bet", as usual he smiled annoyingly while facing me.
But bet? um, it looks interesting.
"Betting? Bet what? Sounds fun", I answered suddenly.
"Let's make a bet ...it's simple, whoever can stand drinking can command one thing to the loser",
"One thing?"
"Yeah, just one little thing", he still smiled annoyingly.
But somehow I felt that his smile was different from usual, usually his smile was just teasing and teasing. This smile seemed like there was something strange going on with it, sort of ... what's the word ... Sort of ... conspiracy, yes there it is.
His smile was like an uncle who tried to sell me a cheap cellphone at a high price.
Will Dion try to do something funny to me? Whatever happens, I will follow the game first. There's no way Dion is trying to poison me right? If Dion did that, the police would put him in jail.
I never know, my decision will make my life change.
"Alrig-", I was interrupted, again and again. This is starting to get on my nerves. But seeing the person who was interrupting me was Sylvie, my irritation disappeared suddenly. Don't get me wrong, I don't like her.
"Dion! This is unfair, it's Arthur's first time drinking and you've experienced, how could Arthur win!",
After I thought it seemed like Sylvie had a point.
"Alright alright, just like this, every sip of Vodka that Arthur drank I would drink 2 sips, How?",
Sylvie, who was asked, looked back at me.
"Seems fair ... I guess", well I've never tried alcohol, maybe not so bad. The important thing is I have to be careful.
"Let's begin!"
"Alright, the match starts ... Now !!"
I took a glass of vodka and tried to take my first sip, then ..
Cough. !!! What the. !!
It tasted really bad, it's like bitter and spicy flavors mixed together, I almost spat it out.
But seeing Dion waiting for me to take my first sip with his smile really annoyed me.
With all efforts, I managed to take my first sip. When I saw Dion, he easily swallowed 2 sips of vodka.
I don't know how much time has passed and how many sips I have taken, my head is dizzy, my body is hot, my eyes and thoughts are blurred.
But whenever I tried to give up, Dion was always there to provoke me.
My mind is messed up and I can't think straight. I kept sipping the drink. Damn, the Alcohol in Vodka really blinded my senses.
When my consciousness began to return, I suddenly was at the cape of the balcony of the restaurant. How could I be here?
I started to stagger forward.
Although there was a guardrail, it was only a short fence so it's not block the view.
I started falling.
Ah, damn alcohol.
When I fell, I faintly saw a figure jumping from the balcony and immediately hugged me.
Sylvie?
Then we fell...

Ah,,
The vibrations of the ambulance woke me up. When I opened my eyes I saw a figure sitting beside me, my view was still blurry but it didn't prevent me from recognizing that figure.
"Arthur !! Hang in there, stay with me !! Arthur !!", it seems that person looks happy when I wake up.
Yes, that's my brother, the person who has always encouraged me since I was little.
I stared at him intently trying to carve out every detail of that figure at the end of my life. Then I remembered ..
"Sy..l..vie.., Syl..vie wh..e...re...?", hearing that the figure was silent for a moment, then answered sadly.
"Sylvie, ..... died on the ground".
So that's how it is happen ...
"Bro...help-"
Wiu...wiu..wiu..wiu..wiuu
Damn!
Can the sirens be turned off?!
There is an important conversation here ..
"Arthur, take it easy, I will help you and you will definitely survive.",
Survive? You kidding me bro?
I don't even feel half of my body and it looks like my legs are starting to feel cold.
Is it time already?
"Bro..listen..my time..not * Cough * much ..."
I saw his body tremble ..
"ple..ase ... take..care ... daddy..and..mo-
*JDAARRRRR*
Suddenly a light filled my sight, then ,,,,, Dark .....
Seriously, can't someone just let me rest in peace ..
