Title: The Missing Action
Series: 태양의 후예 / Descendants of the Sun
Characters: Ahn Jeongjun, Yoo Sijin, Seo Daeyoung, mentions of Kang Moyeon
Summary: He might as well start writing that report.
------------------
He was on his way into the other building, to finish the last bit of cleanup that he needed to do. He still kept the radio on, so he could still hear the activity in that particular hotel room.
The rest of the North Korean Secret Service agents had arrived to pick up Ahn Jeongjun. He could hear one of them talking to Captain Ahn as he made his way up. The agent told Captain Ahn to follow them back without any resistance. It didn't sound as if Ahn Jeongjun was allowed to have any other choice.
The lift opened as Sijin cautiously walked out of it, paying mind not to let any of the North Koreans see that he was nearby. He was about to take a step into the emergency staircase area before Captain Ahn's next word made him stop.
"...I'll pay for this snack even in the other world."
"Thanks to you, I can go back to the Republic and die as a warrior."
"Thank you."
Sijin took out the earpiece from his ear, as he could barely hear the sound that sounded like Captain Ahn was chomping on the chococake that he gave to him the night before.
He'd done his part to do what he needed to do. Yet, a part of him wondered if there was any more that he could do for his friend.

He happened to find out about it by chance, as he was leading another black op operation abroad. He couldn't believe what he heard. Captain Yoo Sijin and his deputy Seo Daeyoung had died in a car accident. That piece of news, to him it didn't sound right. Because he knew Yoo Sijin well. Someone who was as good as him in terms of fighting skill, as well as intelligence, shouldn't have died over a simple thing like a car crash. It didn't sound right.
It really didn't sit well with him to accept the death of someone he grew to respect a lot as a fellow soldier, just like that.
So he did his own digging. He found out that the South Korean military had sent their Alpha Team of the Special Warfare Command to the Ukrainian-Russian border to help with the peacekeeping as well as search and rescue. He also found out about the bombing that supposedly the one that took the lives of both of the two soldiers. If he was like any other man, he would have stopped there. But it made him curious about the fact that no one managed to recover their bodies.
To be frank, just because no bodies were recovered didn't mean that they were definitely alive. The bodies might have been removed discreetly or destroyed completely. But it could still mean that the two could have been alive. Either being stranded somewhere unknown to everyone, or they could have been captured and locked up somewhere. He was willing to bet on the latter.
Once he set his mind on it, he started looking up all of the contacts that he made during his career as a Special Mission Force soldier. Since he would need help to begin his solo mission. Trying to do what he planned to do without letting his commander know about it, would not be easy. And it would also be risky as well. Considering the fact Yoo Sijin was a South Korean soldier and he was a North Korean soldier. If any of his actions was found out, he could be tried as a traitor.
But he had a debt that needs to be paid. And that debt was not only to one person.
Ahn Jeongjun started to recall the face of the female doctor that he met half a year ago. The female doctor that he later found out to be Yoo Sijin's girlfriend.
"Please don't behave like you have nine lives."
He kept the things she said to him at the hospital in mind even as he returned home. And because of that, he had himself undergo a surgery to remove the old bone fragment that was left near his spine. The surgery was a success. So he ended up owing his life to that female doctor as well.
He has to find out if Yoo Sijin was really dead. And if he was still alive, he has to make sure that Yoo Sijin would be able to return home to his loved ones.
If that meant that this mission could be his last, so be it.

"...I am very grateful."
"This is as far as I go," said Ahn Jeongjun as Sijin turned to address him. He could also see a jeep approaching from afar, but it didn't look like they were coming to pick them up. They must be part of Captain Ahn's team.
"Thank you," he said again as Captain Ahn shrugged it off.
"I repaid what I owed. You guys figure out your way back home by yourselves. Good Luck."
It took him a while to realise what Captain Ahn had meant, before recalling the time when he overheard the conversation between Captain Ahn and his fellow North Korean officers. He never thought there would come a time where Captain Ahn would return that old favour back to him. He didn't even consider that last one as a personal favour too. Because he was just doing his job, and he thought they already called it even between them.
Since Captain Ahn had given them the password to unlock the encryption on the SD microchip they got from him, and he returned that favour by saving Captain Ahn's life.
"Yoo Sijin..."
He glanced back towards Captain Ahn.
"I got you out of this pinch. So you better be hauling your ass back home safely. Don't make that doctor cry even longer."
The thought of meeting Moyeon again made him smile.
"Of course. I give you my word."
Ahn Jeongjun nodded his head in acknowledgement, before walking away to rejoin his comrades.

Daeyoung craned his neck a bit more as he read every line of the written report critically. He snorted.
"Not bad. You managed to put in almost everything that Captain Ahn told you back then in this report. I'm impressed."
Sijin shrugged. "I do what I can..." he started to say before noticing the time. "Ah, that aside... how about the preparations for tomorrow?"
His friend straightened up at once. "You don't have to worry about that. Sergeant Choi and everyone already got it covered. I'm going to enjoy myself tomorrow before coming back to finish this shit of a report. Don't you dare interrupt my sleep tonight!"
Sijin chuckled at him before clicking on the save button on the word processor programme. "I wouldn't dare dream about that. I owe you so much, Sergeant Seo,"
Daeyoung rolled his eyes at him again. "Well, you better mean it. Or I could think up many things that could ruin your days in return."
Sijin started the process to set the computer to shut down.
"I hear you loud and clear."
