After several rounds of drinks, Jishin returned home with Joanne separately and earlier than the rest. They were pretty drunk, and Joanne was already asleep in the car. So Jishin had to carry her inside. But he took her to his room instead of hers. Putting her on his bed, he went to the bathroom. Meanwhile, she woke up, and drank some water from the bedside table. Rubbing her eyes, she understood that she was in Jishin's room. She quickly took off her boots and sneaked out of his room. Coming downstairs, she was startled by the main door opening. The rest of the boyband had come back. Both sides were shocked to see each other. But Joanne didn't waste time any more staring, instead just ran off to her room without saying anything. They were confused as well, but too drunk and exhausted to ask or say anything. 

Next day. 
She went to the HQ, to start her new job. Her first day went by with just introductions. She was off in the eve and returned home. 

At home.
She was walking across the living room, when Levi came running towards her, enthusiastically said, "Big bro arranged a private jet for you. You can leave the night before". She was internally happy, smiled at him, "Is your brother home yet?". "Yes, he's in his room now". She left after pecking him on his cheek. 

In Jishin's room. 
Joanne entered without knocking, and walked in on him with just a tiny towel around his waist. Both were startled. Her face flushed bright red, and she immediately shut her eyes and said, "I'm so sorry. I'll come back later", and turned around to leave. As her eyes were still closed she hit her nose on the wall instead of walking through the door. "Ow!!" and she started rubbing her nose. Jishin was amused, and came close to her, closed the door and hovered on her from behind. She got nervous sensing his strong presence behind her. He said in a low but demanding voice, "Last night, you left me so high and dry. Do you know what the consequences will be?". She carefully turned to face him and looked straight into his eyes, "Wanna go on a date with me?" (with a hint of confidence in her smile). He got flustered, and shouted, "Date? I don't do dates!". She shrugged, "Suit yourself! Oh! And thanks for arranging the flight!". She left.
