➹THIRD PERSON PERSPECTIVE➷

✾March 14th, 2013- 01:18: Sheffield✾

Pierre was heavily intoxicated and unfortunately lost his balance while attempting to get off the stool. As a result, he fell to the floor and sustained an injury.

At present, he was admitted to a private hospital ward. He is lying unconscious in the bed, and thankfully, unlike Lorenzo, he did not end up in a coma.

The bartender who had been serving Pierre the majority of his drinks kindly drove him to the hospital after the intoxicated gentleman fell to the floor. In addition, he felt a sense of guilt as he continued to serve Pierre alcoholic beverages, even after observing that the man had become noticeably intoxicated. In all fairness, he should have declined to provide him with any further drinks after the fifth one.

Mr. Choi Kwang-Sun, the bartender, reached out to the first available contact on Pierre's phone. It had been unlocked earlier when he was contemplating whether or not to contact Meredith. Fortunately, the individual Kwang-Sun reached out to was not Pierre's present ex-partner.

The door to the private ward was respectfully opened by Dante.

"Could you please provide me with some information regarding the recent incident?" Dante enquired professionally to the individual he believed had contacted him.

"He had arrived at the pub in a state of distress and promptly ordered several drinks, each one more potent than the last. As the person who served him, I feel a sense of regret for not intervening sooner before he collapsed and sustained an injury. In retrospect, I should take the initiative to apologise." Dante shook his head and offered Kwang-Sun a gentle smile.

"It is not necessary for you to apologise, as this is not the first time he has been hospitalized due to his excessive alcohol consumption. Although it has been a few years since the last incident, something unfortunate must have occurred again for him to end up in this condition once more." Dante observed Pierre, whose chest was slowly rising and falling as the heart monitor attached to him beeped steadily.

"After consuming his seventh beverage, his speech became increasingly unintelligible, with only one word being discernible. It appeared to be a female name." Dante possessed knowledge of the name Pierre mentioned without the need for enquiry from Kwang-Sun.. 

"Would you please confirm if Meredith is the name that was mentioned?" Kwang-Sun nodded his head rapidly before responding verbally to Dante.

"Yes, how did you come to know that?" Dante politely motioned for Kwang-Sun to take a seat on the couch that was positioned near the window before sitting down next to him.

"I am his boyfriend, and I discovered that he has been seeing someone else for a while now. I found out one day when I followed him to a fancy restaurant, but I did not confront him because I did not want to lose him. I love him very much. One night, he was extremely tired and mistook me for someone named Meredith. I knew he was not fully awake, but I still asked him who that woman was. Surprisingly, he told me, and I accepted the fact that I was not his only choice or only love." Dante did not mind sharing his thoughts with a stranger, as he felt a strong urge to unburden himself. He was aware that Pierre had been awake since his arrival, having noticed the subtle fluttering of his eyelids.

He wished to convey to Pierre that he held no ill feelings towards him and still cherished him deeply, despite the numerous falsehoods that had been uttered over the past few years. Nevertheless, it was crucial for Pierre to make a challenging decision in the near future, as there was a possibility of losing both individuals he deeply cared about.

It is possible that he may not lose his loved ones, but will fortune favour him?
