life tiltin' to the left [S-Classes That I Raised]

going sideways

Don't expect this to be updated regularly. I'm only writing this and that as a canon rewrite. And anyways, here's the deal; I didn't read S-Classes That I Raised through.

Everything beyond that which I foreshadow or imply; it's my rough knowledge about untranslated chapters that I was able to scramble together from fanart or friendly ppl who were kind enough to explain. Tbh, I don't think I'll even reach the untranslated parts, but who knows?

1.

Han Yoojin blinked.

A strange room, filled with no one except him, entered his sight. There was a bed under him. His cell phone contained the number of the Awakening Broker from five years ago. The date showed him that he was five years in the past. It seemed like he was in a room of the Haeyeon Guild building.

'I'm really back,' he thought dully.

And then, the door burst open and his living younger brother entered the room with a scowling face. Han Yoohyun, with his now younger face, his non-bloodied face and his not dead face with the awful calm smile, twisted into a fierce glare. "Hyung," his brother began, and the voice was the same as five years into the future, "Dungeon Brokers are-"

"I'm sorry," Han Yoojin interrupted hastily. A stuffy feeling entered his lungs at the surprised face his brother was making. "I won't do it again."

There won't be an 'again' ever again. There won't be any helping his useless older brother out, inferiority complex or self-sacrificing ever again. There won't be a chance to.

"By any chance-"

"No," he cut in yet again. Han Yoojin didn't know what expression he was making right now, but it couldn't be a very approachable one by the unsure gaze his brother leveled at him. As if looking at him for the first time. A look for a stranger. "I was in the wrong. But I know better now, thanks to you."

Right, he had understood their relationship completely wrong. His younger brother didn't need a brother who was a weak point enough that he would sacrifice himself for them. So, it was simple.

"You don't have to worry about me anymore, Yoohyun-ah."

There had to be no reason to sacrifice himself. There had to be no reason at all for Han Yoohyun to associate with him. That way, he wouldn't do something as foolish as throw his life away.

"I won't be in your way."

He had to disappear from the limelight. It was obvious. There won't be any reason if the reason didn't exist. If he wasn't there, if he didn't get in his brother's way like in the future, won't that lighten the burden of his brother? Won't he have no reason to sacrifice himself? The cold sensation of Han Yoohyun's body felt like it was branded into his brain.

"My younger brother, Han Yoohyun."

A smile grazed his lips as he gazed at the extremely confused form of his younger brother. He looked cute, frowning in bewilderment in front of the bed and with shaking pupils. Han Yoojin wondered if he acted too unusual. In the end, it didn't matter. He was filled with pure relief and thus, the next words that left his mouth were as much a whisper to Han Yoohyun as for him.

"I'd die for you."

They parted on awkward terms.

It was to be expected. Han Yoojin knew that his behavior was more than suspicious, seeing as he had openly declared his willingness to die for his brother, but the Guild Leader of Haeyeon had no time to investigate his mental state in a short amount of time. The matter was thrown away for the time being. It was the most ideal situation for him.
