A Christmas Carol

Ship: Doil

Side Ship: Norenmin + Chensung + Jaeyong + Luwoo

Fluff? Angst? Smut?: idk, tbh

Requested by me, inspired by the Christmas Carol film. Warning: This is a long chapter.

It's been 7 years since Taeil, his husband, his business partner, the love of Doyoung's life, and a caring soul, has pasted away on this same exact day. Christmas Eve, December 24th.

Doyoung was writing some papers, of course, he isn't as mean as the original movie had portrayed Scrooge and Marley. It was very cold in the office, Jaehyun was basically dying of coldness, but of course, coal costed money.

Then, Mr. Kim's nephew came in, happy and joyful.

"Merry Christmas Uncle!" a young Lucas came in, happy and joyful.

"What is it?" Doyoung asked his joyous nephew.

"Well, I came by to ask if you wanted to join this magnficent party I'll be hosting!" Lucas said, smiling extremely brightly at his uncle.

"No thank you, I am good, nephew," Doyoung said, continuing to write in his manuscript.

"Aw, why not? It'll be fun!" Lucas exclaimed joyously.

"No thank you, good day," Doyoung said, continuing to write.

"Alright, but can you at least come to my and Jungwoo's baby shower, we are expecting one in the early spring, and here is a Christmas present from the both of us," Lucas said, leaving them on Doyoung's table, sighing.

"I'll make sure I will come, thank you," Doyoung said, continuing to focus on his work, as Jaehyun secretly congratulated Lucas.

Some Charity workers came in, also. Trying to get at least a single penny out of Doyoung.  It was irritating Doyoung very, very much.

"Aish, just go already! I said no, means no!" Doyoung said, sitting back down as he continued to work.

"So rude," one of them said, making Doyoung sigh, as he messaged his temples.

Jaehyun stood their quietly, not a single peep from him. Doyoung and Jaehyun continued with their work, until 6 pm that evening.

"I assume you want a day off tomorrow?" Doyoung asked, checking the time.

"It would be utterly much appreciated," Jaehyun said.

Doyoung gave a sigh, Jaehyun put Doyoung's coat over Doyoung.

"Alright, but, be here earlier than usual, 5 am," Doyoung said, strictly.

"Thank you, thank you!" Jaehyun said, excitedly.

"But..., I will dock your next pay," Doyoung said, locking the door of the shop.

"R-right, thank you so much sir," Jaehyun said, smiling at his boss and he walked away.

Doyoung walked to his house, as he tried to find the keys for his front door, and when he finally got the right key, he realized that there was a creepy face on his door knob, the face looked familiar.

"AHHH!" Doyoung screamed, falling down the stairs.

Then, it disappeared. Doyoung, being the scaredy cat he was, he double checked, and he went inside. Nobody else was home, his servants were sleeping at his home, which he had provided for them. He walked into his room, eating tteokbokki by the fire.

Weird stuff then, started to happen, he got really scared and he just stood in place. Doyoung then heard heavy ass chains coming up into his room. Then, it got quiet. The ghost suddenly popped out, and it scared Doyoung a lot, which made me become curled up into a ball.

"Wh-at are you?" Doyoung asked,  finally having the confidence to ask.

"Ask..me, who I was..," the apparition spoke in a soft tone.

"Um, who were you?" Doyoung asked.

"I was Moon Taeil, your husband and your business partner," it spoke.

"T-taeil?" Doyoung stuttered out.

"You were the one who had caused all of this!" Taeil said, blaming Doyoung.

Something Doyoung knew that Taeil would never say and do to him.

"And, you know, you should get into the merry spirit, and stop scamming some innocent people, or else you'll end up like me," Taeil said, then he continued, "Baby, you know that I don't want you to live this life, shackled in chains, and such horribleness." Taeil's voice grew solemn.

"B-but, will I get to see you again?" Doyoung asked, hoping to hear a some sort of yes.

"No, but just know that I am always watching you," Taeil said, and for once, since he had came back, Taeil smiled.

"Now, you better listen to me," Taeil said, his tone getting serious. It make Doyoung gulp, wondering what Taeil is going to say to him.

"There will be three spirits visiting you tonight, so if you want to save yourself, the first one is coming tomorrow, when it first strikes at 1, remember that. The first one is the Ghost of Christmas Past, then Present, and... future. I think you should fear the future, be warned," Taeil said.

"Anyways, it was nice seeing you, good bye," Taeil said, disappearing.

Then, the room got quiet, Doyoung was shook, so he decided to go to bed.

Doyoung was woken up by a really smiley baby, Doyoung needs to know where he can adopt him.

"Hi, I'm the Ghost of Christmas Past, I'm Jeno, nice to meet you," Jeno said.

"Oh, are you going to take me to the past? And, to see my past?" Doyoung questioned the younger boy.

 "Of course, take my hand, this will make you immortal, for the time being," Jeno said, smiling.

Jeno put some special magic in Doyoung with his palm to Doyoung's chest, and Jeno took Doyoung's arm, going out of the window, and into the past. The flew through the cold wind, passing threw the areas.

"These are shadows, they can't see us, or feel us," Jeno explained.

Jeno dragged Doyoung towards a private school, where he remembered about most of his childhood. He showed Doyoung the place where he used to work at... and the place where he met his beloved.

Young Taeil appeared in front of his eyes, smiling at him. Doyoung felt his heart beating as if he had fallen in love again, head over heels. But, the smiling look wasn't for him, it was for the younger version of himself.

Then, he showed the times around Christmas, some arguments and things he had regretted. Doyoung didn't like it at all, and tried putting Jeno back, away. But, one leads to another.
