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

chapter 3



2 – 1# Why not use the convenient setting of amnesia? (2)

Baek Yuri.

That was the name of the self-proclaimed younger sister that Yushin had barely discovered. A younger sister out of nowhere.

But it was better than nothing. At least he could get information through a guardian.

Of course, they weren’t blood-related, but from Yushin’s perspective, she felt like a real sister.

Anyway, after that, Yushin underwent a thorough examination.

Since there was nothing particularly wrong with his body, Yushin was finally able to be discharged from the hospital.

The doctor recommended psychological treatment to Yushin, but Yuri, his guardian and younger sister, opposed it.

She didn’t want to unnecessarily stir up her brother’s wounds.

Yushin also didn’t want to stay in the hospital for a long time and eat tasteless hospital food.

So, following Yuri’s words, they decided not to undergo psychological treatment and immediately discharged from the hospital.

However, Yushin had no idea where the house he was living in was.

So, he had no choice but to hold his younger sister Yuri’s hand and go back home. Like a child?

“Is it really necessary to hold hands?”

“You’re a patient, brother. You need stability.”

However, Yuri was adamant. If she let go of his hand, it felt like he would leave again.

Seeing her brother in such a precarious state, Yuri couldn’t bring herself to let go of Yushin’s hand.

Yushin didn’t feel particularly good about feeling like a child, but what could he do?

Having set the premise of amnesia, it was naturally a consequence that followed.

‘The problem is, this kid isn’t spilling any information.’

The reason Yushin mentioned the premise of amnesia was because it was convenient.

It was the best way to gather information from the people around him without arousing suspicion.

However, Yuri was reluctant to answer questions about why Baek Yushin was hospitalized, how he got hurt, and what he was doing.

“That’s not important right now, brother. You need to rest first.”

Yuri’s judgment was reasonable. Even if you tell everything to a person with amnesia, it would only add to the confusion.

So, slowly. It was better to regain things one by one.

‘Damn it! This is so frustrating!’

However, that was only common sense for a typical amnesia patient.

To Yushin, who didn’t have amnesia, Yuri’s consideration felt rather annoying.

But he couldn’t trample on the heart of his sister who cared for her brother.

In the end, Yushin decided to find another way. That was to search through Yushin’s room.

‘There must be a hint about the current situation.’

Yushin is not a fool. Judging by the damage to his head and the cautious reactions of those around him.

It was highly likely that Baek Yushin had made an extreme choice himself.

Just looking at the actions of his younger sister, Yuri, wasn’t she acting as if she was taking care of a child?

If this hypothesis is true, there is no way Baek Yushin would have left no traces.

‘People on the verge of making extreme choices always show signs. Because they want someone to stop them.’

It can’t be said to be bad. The will to survive is the instinct of living beings.

However, the moment he arrived home, all the thoughts he had in his head flew away.

Because a two-story detached house with a yard in the middle of Gangnam greeted him.

“This is my house?”

In fact, he had been unsure since he got into the taxi. But seeing it in person was very shocking.

Not some slum, but a detached house with a yard in the middle of Gangnam is my home?

Should I just not go back?

Seeing Yushin hesitating to return, Yuri felt as if her heart was breaking.

Since their parents were alive until now, it was a home where they had built memories together…

Really, my brother has forgotten everything. To that extent, my brother was cornered.

Of course, from Yuri’s perspective, who couldn’t read Yushin’s mind, it could only look that way.

But, although it was already too late. Still, there is an opportunity to start again right in front of us.

“Brother, let’s go inside now. It’s still cold outside.”

At least, my brother hasn’t left this world. He’s still here holding my hand.

In that case, there is only one thing I, his only family, must do.

To make sure this hand I’m holding doesn’t leave. To hold it firmly.

Of course, it’s not that I don’t want to take revenge on the trash that made my brother like this.

But now, improving my brother’s condition was the top priority over planning revenge.

‘There’s a house in Gangnam. Is there really a need to return to the original world?’

Yushin was deeply troubled by another issue.

* * *

Yushin, who was briefly shaken by material temptation.

But he could barely keep the original purpose he had set.

So, for now, Baek Yushin had to find out what had happened to him.

Yushin first thought of the bet with God (Yudong).

They had talked about the difference between exile and regret, and when things went wrong, he was sent to exile.

In that case, the world Yushin was in now was highly likely to be a genre of regret.

Just looking at his younger sister, Baek Yuri, she was a typical character from a regret genre.

‘Now, if only there was a setting of half-siblings, it would be a perfect light novel.’

Even though it looked like this, Yushin had some experience with web novels.

He could easily deduce the genre, but he still didn’t know the cause.

Was it a typical NTR-style regret? If not, was it another kind of regret?

No, in the first place. If this genre was indeed regret, was it modern fantasy?

Or was it just a slice of life? Knowing oneself and the enemy, one would never be in peril in a hundred battles. It was essential information.

However, his worries were unfounded. Yushin soon found out information about this world.

There was no need to worry. He could find out just by turning on the television.

[Breaking News.]

[Monsters of D-rank disaster have appeared in Busan.]

[Heroes belonging to Busan City are quickly taking action.]

Thanks to the breaking news on television, Yushin realized it without difficulty.

‘Ah, it’s modern fantasy.’

Monsters, and heroes hunting monsters. It was clearly modern fantasy with hunters.

No, Yushin was now 18 years old. In other words, a second-year high school student.

There was a possibility that an academy was added to the hunter genre. Yushin immediately began to analyze.

The reason Yushin was so obsessed with analysis was simple. Knowing oneself and the enemy, one would never be in peril in a hundred battles.

He had already painfully realized the meaning of those words in the previous exile genre.

He thought it was just an ordinary exile fantasy. Who would have thought it was a dark fantasy exile?

As a result, Yushin had seen all sorts of terrible things. Yes, to the point where his mind was collapsing.

‘Actually, it’s hard to say my soul is still intact.’

Well, is that important now? The most important thing was to put out the fire on his feet.

Yuri, who was sticking to Yushin like a leech, used the remote control to change the channel.

What is this? Why are you making a fuss again? When Yushin looked at Yuri, Yuri replied.

“Your stability is the most important thing. Such news is not good for your stability.”

“It’s just news.”

“But you are…!!!”

However, Yuri couldn’t bring herself to say it out loud. If she had to describe her brother in one word.

He was a hero straight out of a fairy tale. So unnecessarily kind that he suffered losses.

He never stopped helping others. Even if he was used and discarded by others.

He never showed any sign of it. So she thought he was okay. No, she assumed so.

Because her nagging brother was annoying.

Because he didn’t say anything.

She arbitrarily concluded that he was okay.

Of course, he couldn’t be okay. As a human, those things piled up in his heart and eventually exploded.

Thanks to that, Yuri almost lost her only remaining brother. Damn it.

You trash. You don’t even deserve to call him brother! She blamed herself like this.

Ding dong.

At that moment, when she was deeply immersed in guilt. The mistake she made in the past came back.

As if she had seen a mutilated corpse, Yuri’s face turned pale, and she hurriedly stood up.

Sensing the unusual atmosphere, Yushin tilted his head. What? Who is it?

However, Yuri had already grabbed the intercom connected to the front door and was shouting.

“Are you crazy? I told you never to come back!”

[That’s too much, we were on good terms. How can you speak so coldly?]

“Shut up, just hearing your voice makes me nauseous. So get lost now.”

[It was really a joke! I didn’t know my brother would do such a thing!]

“If you don’t leave, I’ll really call the police.”

Sensing the unusual atmosphere, Yushin just took a step back and watched.

It seemed the other person chose to leave.

Only then did Yuri put the intercom back. Yushin looked at Yuri and said.

“Is he your boyfriend?”

“Absolutely not!”

Oh my, if not, then not.

Why are you getting so angry and freaking out?
