She accepted his hand and they started dancing slowly. On the other hand, Yujun who got totally ignored by them, got jealous and started drinking heavily. While smoothly swaying with the music, Lucifer whispered in Joanne's ear, "I may seem like a bad person, but I am not, really. That day I was so drunk that I didn't notice that I had pushed you to the edge...". He sounded genuinely sorry to her. "It's fine...but ehy are you saying this now?". He got nervous, "Ummm...I came to a realisation after that....(stuttered) ummm... I think, I like you". He was looking away and his ears had become red. She noticed that and replied with straight face, "I'm not interested". He turned towards her, "But why? (Impatient) Just give me one chance! I promise, I'll change myself!...... Why won't you give me a chance?". She stopped dancing and pushed him off suddenly. Glaring at him, she said, "You wanna know why?..... Come with me". And she grabbed his hand and dragged him out and got into a car. She drove to semi-slum like place, full of small buildings and abandoned shades. There, she took him to a small apartment. She unlocked the door and stepped in. He came in as well, behind her. "Stay here" and she went further inside and returned with a small safe. She opened it for him. Just then an elderly woman came out. Seeing Joanne, tears rolled down her baggy and grey eyes. Joanne rushed over and hugged her. "Mom, don't cry! Please! I'm fine!" and kissed her wrinkled forehead. That woman wiped off her tears and looked at Lucifer standing awkwardly at a corner. She said to her, "He's an acquaintance. Don't worry". And to him, "I'll be right back", and she went away. While, the old woman filled him in everything about the contents of the safe he was holding from earlier. [contents: some pictures of Joanne with her teammates, two engagement rings, three IDs, some keys]. He carefully studied through the contents but got stuck staring at a picture of Joanne holding a girl up in bridal style and they looked really happy. She noticed that and said, "That's Leena. The first member and her first love".
