Title: The Missing Action
Series: 태양의 후예 / Descendants of the Sun
Characters: Seo Daeyoung, Yoo Sijin, mentions of Park Byeongsu
Summary: He might as well start writing that report.
A/N: Initially wanted to make this into the actual report, but then I realise I'm a Pisces too. I hate writing reports I already forgot how. So I might just tease only some bit of the report whenever I can.

Since some form of timeline would be hinted in this piece, here's a bit of the basic outline I'm basing stuff from.

-----------------------

"Yoo Sijin and Seo Daeyoung's duty is writing a report about what happened."

"It should be as thick as the Bible."


Why wasn't he surprised that Colonel Park would pull something like that on them? Then again, that man knew far too well that report-writing was one of Sijin's most hated task to do. But the two of them had barely able to get a proper rest after all the things that happened to them. You'd think someone would go easy on them for once. As if the last two months trying to find their way across deserts, swamps, unfamiliar lands to find help wasn't hard enough. And they did that without having anything on themselves, aside from their worn winter military uniforms.

And why did that old guy need to feel so bitter about them not paying him much attention? It was not as if they were that close to each other. Seo Daeyoung snorted to himself as he glanced towards Sijin. The idiot was tracing his fingers warily over a piece of paper.

"What're you doing?"

"I'm more afraid of A4 than C4. Look at this sharp edge. It can cut you and it really hurts."

Sometimes Sijin was just amazing. After all these times this guy always had one thing about him that barely changed. Sometimes he wondered why he even allowing himself to be used by this cheeky bastard. Aside from those few rare times when he was depressed enough or moody enough to bother sitting down in front of a computer to write a report, Sijin rarely volunteered himself to commit to the task of report-writing. And usually, the one who will end up writing it all was him. A guy who was supposed to be less educated than the said military academy graduate.

Sometimes he had to wonder what was it that traumatised the kid so much to view report-writing as a scary task.

He frowned.

"Why do I have to write the report?" Daeyoung asked as Sijin grinned.

"Lieutenant Yun is in Uruk. Your girlfriend is away and you've got time."

He could only watch in silence as Yoo Sijin skipped out of the office, leaving him to work on the report by himself. Despite that, he couldn't even muster enough energy to be angry at the younger man.

Funny how little things like this could be so comforting. Having that annoying brat dumping all of the troublesome jobs on him. Daeyoung snorted. Just the very fact that the brat was still around to do all of the annoying things to him made him happy. Because he nearly lost that brat for good.

That brat Yoo Sijin.

April 9th, 2015

Alpha Team, with the exception of Captain Yoo Sijin and Master Sergeant Seo Daeyoung, have left on chopper Tango-Nine with the three rescued civilians. Considering the fact Alpha Team had swept the area prior to the chopper landing, we do not expect there to be any remaining hostilities in our immediate vicinity. Due to that oversight, we did not notice the approaching enemy and the fact that the two of us had been watched.


Daeyoung paused as he tried to recall the memories of that night again. He could still remember it vividly. Sijin was just talking about how they were going to head home soon... but before he could finish talking, his body gave a violent jerk. He could see clearly where Sijin was shot as he caught his friend.

He had been careless. He should have been more careful to make sure the area was still clear of any hostilities. If Sijin had forgotten about it, he should have remembered. The country was not entirely stable after all. He remembered how frantic he had been back then because he was all alone with Sijin and having no other backup. He couldn't even see where the sniper may be hiding or know if the militia had them surrounded.

Daeyoung shook his head at the memory as he resumed typing the report.

The sound of the exploded missile jerked him awake right away, and he was greeted with another shock. He was inside a bunker, surrounded by the local militia.

He bit his lips as he tried to recall what happened prior to him being knocked out.

"You have to stay awake!"

He had been shouting those words before he felt his shoulder being clipped. Another sniper shot. Yet, he couldn't concern himself with his own safety. Sijin's eyes had started to lose focus...

He tried to force himself to move towards Sijin; he was so concentrated on doing so that he didn't notice that the militia had them surrounded. The moment he did his head was hit by the butt of a rifle.


At the thought of Sijin, his mind immediately became clear. He straightened up; despite the enemy soldier restraining him from his back, and started frantically looking around him for any sign of Sijin being around. He thought of the booming sound earlier and remembered the warning they received earlier about a scheduled bombing. If Sijin was still out there barely alive...

Just as the despairing thought of Sijin being left out alone about to overcome him, Daeyoung saw him.

A buff looking man, was dragging Sijin away by the arm... with his captain looking like a broken doll. He couldn't even be sure if Sijin was still alive.

"Captain Yoo!"

He tried to lunge towards them. Who cares if he lived or die? Whatever the outcome he won't let anyone do anything to harm Sijin. Over his dead body!

Without warning, Daeyoung received another blow to his head and he was out.

He woke up to find himself in a small cell. Alone. If he had any strength left he would have punched himself hard. How did he end up here like this?

Daeyoung mournfully thought about Sijin's fate. If he could escape this place... and return home, what could he say? To Sijin's father, to Dr. Kang... what could he say to them? How he could not save Sijin, how he couldn't protect him...

How could he live with himself after that?

He heard footsteps approaching, and the sound of a heavy door being opened. The footsteps sounded like there were several people approaching—and then he saw them. Two men were standing in front of the cell, one trying to unlock the cell door. Daeyoung tensed as he prepared to jump on them.

It was a risky move, but he needed to escape. But seconds later he froze, as another pair appeared from behind the two men. They walked into the cell carrying something heavy, before throwing it over his feet. The four immediately left, right after dumping the load on him and locking the cell door behind them.

It took him a while for Daeyoung to realise that the big lump in front of him was Sijin's body.

He rushed over, fearing that the body in front of him was lifeless and checked for Sijin's pulse. He heaved a big sigh as he realised his friend was still alive. Remembering the sniper shot from earlier, Daeyoung immediately unbuttoned Sijin's shirt to check on the injury.

The shoulder was bandaged sloppily but it looked like the bleeding had stopped. And he could see Sijin's chest rising and falling with each laboured breath. Daeyoung lifted Sijin's body as he held him close.

He was so grateful that Sijin was still alive.
