I Escaped the Exile Story Only To Find It Was a Regret Trope

1 – 1# Why not use the convenient setting of amnesia? (1)

People often say there’s no paradise where you run away to.

But that’s nonsense from those who haven’t experienced true hell.

Isn’t it wise to forcibly endure a painful hell?

However, this time, that saying turned out to be true.

Yeah.

There was no paradise where I ran away to.

* * *

A strange ceiling.

“`

That was the first thought that came to Yushin’s mind as soon as he opened his eyes.

Perhaps it was only natural.

In his previous life, Yushin had never been hospitalized even once.

So, it was inevitable that the hospital ceiling felt unfamiliar to him.

Even the name “Baek Yushin” that was etched in his mind.

Baek Yushin.

That is not my real name.

However, it was clear that this name was what he was called here.

Unfortunately, the three characters of the name were all that Yushin knew about this place.

“A tutorial that ends with just a name, how insincere.”

All that came out of the extremely unfriendly tutorial was a sigh.

The white ceiling, the pungent smell of disinfectant, the blue blanket, and the hospital mattress.

Anyone could see that it looked like a modern hospital. Yushin was secretly hopeful.

Could it be that he had returned?

Had God (Yudong) shown mercy and sent him back?

However, if this was the world he originally lived in.

At the very least, the unfamiliar name “Baek Yushin” would not be lingering in his mind.

In other words, the meaning of the current situation was clear.

“This is not the world I lived in.”

For an ordinary person, it would not be strange to panic immediately.

But Yushin calmly assessed the situation. Even a rotten mackerel is still a mackerel, he was a hero who had defeated the demon king who tried to conquer the world and the dark forces behind him.

He had faced countless situations worse than this while adventuring in exile.

Thanks to that, he could remain calm, but that did not mean Yushin was pleased with his current situation.

Why did he go through all the trouble of defeating the dark forces in the first place?

“All that trouble just to return.”

Return.

To go back to the original world.

Yes, he had run towards that one fact alone.

But things had gotten so twisted. From Yushin’s perspective, it was inevitable to feel disheartened.

But even so, he couldn’t just sit down and despair.

No matter how the situation changed. I haven’t lost my original purpose.

No matter what happens, I will return.

That was always the only thought.

‘But where am I? Why am I in a hospital?’

Judging by the bandages wrapped around my head, it seems I injured my head.

But Yu-shin had no way of finding out what happened to the original owner of this body.

Thanks to that, it was maddening, but fortunately, the question didn’t last long.

Before Yu-shin could go mad, someone opened the door and entered the hospital room.

A girl with black hair down to her waist, wearing a black school uniform blouse and skirt.

However, the moment the girl’s red eyes, which had been locked like the dead, captured Yu-shin’s figure.

“Brother…?”

Suddenly, wasn’t she dropping a bombshell? Yu-shin shouted in surprise.

“I’ve never had a sister like you!”

Men and women should not sit together after the age of seven! How can men and women be so different, and suddenly become siblings?

Of course, from Yu-shin’s perspective, it was only natural to say that because a stranger came and called him brother.

He was so flustered that he had no choice but to say that. However, it was a great shock to the girl.

Tears soon began to form in the red eyes of the girl who was staring blankly at Yu-shin.

How could you say such a thing to me?

Those words rose to her throat, but the girl swallowed them back with all her might.

She was not in a position to dare say such words.

Although they were not blood-related siblings, her only family was in danger of dying.

She knew nothing and was just playing with her friends.

Hearing such words from her barely awakened brother. Perhaps it was her own fault.

But.

Even so, if there was something she wanted shamelessly. The girl voiced her earnest wish.

“Brother, can I hug you just once?”

When she was young, to comfort her fearful self. Her brother always hugged her.

As she grew older, she avoided it out of embarrassment.

It was only after losing him once that she finally realized.

There was nothing as reassuring as her brother’s presence. Her brother was her great shadow.

Did the desperate girl’s wish reach him? Yushin pondered for a moment, then gave his answer.

“No.”

Yushin firmly refused. If you tell him to do something, he won’t do it, and if you tell him not to, he will.

That is the very instinct of chaos.

At Yushin’s resolute refusal, the girl couldn’t hold back her tears any longer and burst into sobs.

* * *

The girl’s crying was loud enough to attract the attention of the relatively quiet hospital patients.

Thanks to this, Yushin suddenly found himself babysitting. Oh, my fate.

In the midst of this, Yushin’s stubbornness in never fully embracing the girl was quite remarkable.

Still, Yushin’s attempts to soothe her weren’t entirely ineffective. The girl finally stopped crying.

Seeing that the girl had calmed down, Yushin nodded. Now he could ask.

“So, what’s your name?”

From Yushin’s perspective, it was a natural question. After all, he didn’t even know her name…

How could he ask for information about this place from someone whose name he didn’t even know?

However, the girl took his words differently. Her eyes welled up with tears again.

“I’m sorry, oppa. It’s my fault.”

Why is she suddenly confessing?

“So please, don’t pretend you don’t know me…!!”

Oh, come on!

Yushin felt his blood pressure rising at the girl’s frustrating behavior. But he couldn’t help it.

The girl felt that her brother was ignoring her because of that incident.

Like a child abandoned by her parents, all she could do was cry.

Realizing that they couldn’t have a conversation like this, Yushin pondered a solution.

Soon, he found a way to smoothly get through this situation.

“To tell you the truth, I have no memory.”

“No memory at all?”

“Yeah.”

Amnesia.

Yes, let’s go with that.

Yushin finally understood why amnesia is so common in fiction.

Having written it myself, there’s nothing as convenient as this. If you don’t use it, wouldn’t that make you a fool instead?

However, compared to the setting that was not too difficult to come up with, the aftermath was absolutely not small…

The girl was in an uproar right away. She immediately pressed the call bell to summon the nurses.

Thanks to that, Yushin was suddenly dragged by the nurses and forced to undergo an examination by the doctor.

“It seems that amnesia is certain.”

“Isn’t there any way?! To restore my brother’s memory…!!”

“Unfortunately, with current medical science, there is no way. Moreover, it might be that the patient is refusing to regain his memory.”

“How could that be…!!”

‘They’re having a good time.’

The doctor also conducted several tests and finally diagnosed amnesia.

It was only natural. The current Yushin is a different person with no memories of this place.

However, for the girl and the doctor who already knew the circumstances, it became a very serious matter.

‘Having gone through such an ordeal, perhaps the patient’s brain couldn’t withstand it.’

The doctor who examined Yushin couldn’t hide his pity. He must have been a promising talent…

How did he come to experience such an unfortunate event? Perhaps, he might be happier now.

‘It’s because of me. Because I didn’t take care of my brother… that’s why he’s like this…!’

The girl was being consumed by her own guilt. At that time, everyone turned their backs on her brother.

Even she, his only family, wasn’t by his side. How hard must it have been for him?

If only I had been by his side then. If I had, I could have prevented that tragedy.

‘No, it’s not too late even now.’

The red eyes, soaked in sadness, shone intensely. Yes, it’s not too late yet.

From now on, she just needs to protect her brother. From those damned people.

It was a vow made by the girl who had lost something precious and barely regained it.

‘Only I, his only family, can protect him.’

A vow not to lose him again. It combined with her guilt and turned into an obsession.

The girl’s burning hatred was directed at those people who had made her brother like this.

‘So, what’s your name anyway?’

In fact, Yushin, who had caused this situation, still didn’t know the girl’s name.

It was only an hour later that Yushin was able to hear the girl’s name.
