The night she left, it snowed in Seoul.
It was nearing midnight, and the snowstorm had well and truly hit the city. It was dangerous to go out, and the government were warning people to stay indoors.
Despite this, nine people stood gathered on a small patio, of a house in the city centre.
Doctor Lee had joined them, to ensure that the transition went smoothly. She had insisted that they do it at the boys' house - her connection with them was likely to ensure she safely made it back to her eternal form.
"What will it take?" Celine had asked the doctor, as she arrived that evening. "What do I... have to do?"
"Well... it seems you are weak enough for the power to overtake you any moment," Doctor Lee replied, indicating the way Celine was clutching Namjoon's arm, as though she might fall over if he let go. "I suspect if we go out into the storm, and you let go of him... your magic will do the rest of the work for us. If not, I can try some things that might help... speed it along a little."
Celine nodded, glancing at Namjoon, whose coffee eyes had been dark and damp all day. It was true, that she was weaker than she had ever been today. When she'd woken up, she had barely been able to get out of bed without Namjoon's help.
She knew, that it was now or never.
And so here they were. Seven members, the doctor, and Celine. Gathered on the patio where she had shared countless memories. Where Namjoon had stood, on a balcony, and kissed her for the first time, on a New Years' Eve when everything felt possible.
It felt like the right place to say goodbye.
She started with Jimin. He was doing his best to smile, but as she wrapped him into a hug with a soft "Jiminie," he began to cry. He gripped her back, and when she pulled away, he was still smiling.
"You're the best thing that ever happened to us, you know," he sniffed, looking away for a moment.
Celine beamed at him. "I only exist because of you," she reminded him.
