Summary: You've entered into Squid Game to help pay off some debts, not expecting your best friend, Daeho to be there. You both will do anything to proect each other, no matter the cost.
Warnings: Typical squid game stuff.
Author's Note: This is my first time writing Dae-ho. If you'd like to be tagged in future fics of his, please let me know.
Life has been hard lately, which is why when you’d been presented a chance at fixing at least one of those things, you’d jumped at the chance. You however, hadn’t been expecting this to be a game of death. You’d heard player 456’s cries to listen to him at the start of the game, but like everyone else you had ignored him. That was until that girl moved during red light, the chaos that had ensued after that had you praying to gods you didn’t believe in to keep yourself safe. You’d been in Squid Game for a few hours now and already had the blood of your competition splattered over you. You were definitely in over your head and needed to get out.
Thankfully, the pink suits had announced a vote and you prayed everyone would agree to send you home. You’d been standing for what felt like hours waiting for your number to be called, listening to play 456 plead with everyone to leave the games. He’d been here before so you were definitely going to take his advice. Once your number was called you made your way quickly to the front, voting to go home. You may have needed money, but you’d find another way. You weren’t going to die over some debt.
As you were putting your x badge on your jacket your eyes caught sight of a familiar, gorgeous face and your breath caught in your throat. No. He couldn’t be here. Why was he here? Daeho’s eyes met yours and his brows crinkled in confusion. You shook your head and made your way to your spot. There were too many people around to talk comfortably yet and you weren’t exactly sure it was safe to announce that you knew someone else in the games. That mother and son duo seemed to be the only exception to that rule, and you weren’t about to chance it. After play 001 voted, the pink soldiers announced that there would be another game in the morning, panic rising in your body.
Trying to act normal, you turned to head towards your bunk when you felt a hand on your arm.
“Don’t touch-“ you let out a breath, thankful you didn’t have to fight for your life when you came face to face with your best friend.
“What are you doing here?” He hissed, panic in his eyes. You shrugged out of his grip, crossing your arms defensively.
“I needed money. What are you doing here?”
His hand went to his hair, fixing the bun that sat on top of his head and nodded in the direction of some empty bunks.
“I also needed money, why else would I be here?” You raised a brow as you followed him towards the private spot.
You wanted to know what he could possibly need money for, but Daeho was so private you knew you’d never get that answer. Even if you were his best friend.
“You shouldn’t be here, Dae.” You sighed as you leaned against the wall.
You couldn’t protect your best friend, not from this. After Daeho enlisted in the Marines you had a never ending supply of worry in your body for him. Constantly fearing the worst, him being here was going to distract you from staying alive. Your heart raced at the thought of either of not making it out and your eyes found his.
“I can’t lose you.” It came out as a whisper but you knew he’d heard you as he moved closer to you.
His hand moved to cup your cheek.
“Come on, I’m a Marine, I’ve got this. And I’ve got you. We’re going to get out of here. I promise.” You nodded, moving to lean your head on his chest.
You knew it would be bad if anyone caught you panicking but as Daeho's hands wound around your body you allowed yourself to take a few minutes to collect yourself. Perhaps it wasn’t normal to feel so much comfort from a friend, but you weren’t ready to dive into those feelings, not yet.
“We don’t die.” He murmured against your hair.
“We don’t die.” You repeated. He grinned at you before walking you over to your bunk, making sure nobody messed with you as you got sleep.
The next game was a team game, Daeho took the lead in finding you a group, being the friendlier person in your duo. You’d somehow managed to end up with player 456 and player 001. You said a nervous hello and stuck close to your best friend. After you completed your task perfectly, the team cheated, Daeho pulling you in for a quick side hug as you marched forward. For a second, with his arm wrapped protectively around you, you almost forgot that you were fighting for your life inside these games.
After the game had ended you stood with your newly found team, waiting for the next vote. You had all agreed to vote to go home again so when it was your turn to vote, you proudly hit that x and put the badge on your jacket. Almost as if on instinct, Daeho moved to stand next to you as you awaited the rest of the votes. As the final four players made their way to the front, your hand reached out, grabbing his, he gave you a squeeze in response. Your heart raced at the touch and you looked down at your entwined hands before meeting your best friends’ eye.
So, maybe you had a crush on your best friend, maybe that was why you were so afraid to lose him. Either way, this wasn’t the time to start admitting your feelings, so when he smiled at you you smiled back and pushed those thoughts down, hoping that these votes would go in your favor and you’d be able to go home. A groan rang out amongst your peers and you looked up to see that there was only one vote left and you’d lost. Your mouth hanging open in shock as you turned back to Dae.
Another game? Why would anyone want to stay here?
“Let’s Go!” Someone shouted from across the room and you looked around spotting the purple haired man high fiving his friend.
Of course he’d be excited to stay.
“Hey, look at me.” Daeho’s hand was under your chin moving your gaze back to him, your heart racing as you locked eyes.
Daeho had always been in tune with your mood, and would do anything in his power to keep you calm and safe. You were the most important person in his life and even in a game of literal life and death he was going to do whatever it took to make sure you weren’t living in constant fear.
“We’ll get through this one together too, okay?” You swallowed the lump in your throat refusing to let the rest of your team see you so defeated and nodded.
“Yeah.” You agreed.
“Let’s go get some food and talk strategy for the next time.”
He held his hand out for you, a reassuring grin on his face and you eagerly took his hand following him to your new found team. You weren’t sure you wanted to be close to anyone else in the game, but you also knew you couldn’t keep Dae alive without some help so you were going to do whatever it took to keep him alive, even if that meant making nice with people who all had one goal in mind. You scooted closer to Daeho, your hand resting on his leg and he grinned at you as he started eating his food. You didn't care if you made it out of here or not, so long as he did.

Location: Global Maritime Training Center, Valenzuela City, Metro Manila (1 day) and LPU Maritime Training Center, Batangas City, Batangas (12 days)
The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea
SOLAS is an international maritime treaty which sets minimum safety standards in the construction, equipment, and operation of merchant ships. The convention requires signatory flag states to ensure that ships flagged by them comply with at least these standards.
SOLAS is a convention and contains training that can be used as our basic knowledge in safety at Sea. Basic Safety Training is included. Basic Safety Training or BST is required before you can land a job as a seafarer. Without this training, you are not allowed to sign a contract for a job in a vessel. Basic Safety Training or BST is the starting point for persons seeking employment in the maritime industry. This training is intended to ensure that seafarers are aware of the hazards of working on a vessel and can respond appropriately in an emergency.
During the Basic Training, we got 4 modules including Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting (FPFF), Personal Survival Techniques (PST), Elementary First Aid (EFA) and Personal Safety and Social Responsibilities (PSSR). We also got 3 additional IMO Model Courses: International Safety Management (ISM code), Ship Security Awareness Training and Seafarers with Designated Security Duties (SSAT-SDSD) and Crowd Management.
After completing this training, we are now able to process and apply for Seafarer’s Identification and Record Book or Seaman’s Book (SIRB) at nearest MARINA branches nationwide.
As a Cruise Line Operations in Culinary Arts student, it’s indeed appreciated by having a training like this. It’s not just about how to prevent accidents but also to learn the basic safety of a vessel especially in a Passenger Ship like in Cruise Line Industry. Starting from using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), helping passengers in case of emergency, when there is a disaster and also as an awareness of every student.
This training will help us to be competent and well trained in our near future. It will give us preparation in the near challenging career in the global shipping and cruising industry. To become a world-class and highly competent seafarer.
The whole training costs 15000 pesos inclusive of the ff:
Transportation (LPU Cavite - Valenzuela - Batangas - LPU Cavite)
Accommodation for 13 days (Dormitory Type)
Food (Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner for 13 days)
Insurance and
If you want to apply for SIRB, additional of 1000 pesos. LMTC will coordinate to MARINA for processing your SIRB.
