Jaehee gets off work a bit late and invites Hana to dinner, though Hana sheepishly mentions she hasn’t been paid yet and can’t afford anywhere too pricey Q_Q
But Jaehee immediately clarifies — Jumin is paying $_$

Hana: In that case, let’s go somewhere fancy ^_^
Jaehee: Absolutely ^_^ We rarely get a chance to use Mr. Han’s credit card — we should make the most of it!
Hana: Wait, I was just kidding… I’m fine eating anywhere, really.
Jaehee: (adjusts glasses) I wasn’t.

They end up at a really nice restaurant. Hana, who’s never been anywhere this upscale — let alone been treated to a meal — is a bit squirmy about the whole thing, and ultimately just decides to order whatever Jaehee orders. Safest bet.

After dinner, they finally get to business. Hana is torn about whether the new RFA party can reuse one of Rika’s old themes. As she talks through her thought process, Jaehee notices just how seriously Hana has taken all of this — she’s treating it like it’s genuinely her own project. Jaehee gently prompts her: “Was there ever a time when you really needed help? Remember that moment.”

Hana, who’s been feeling stuck with the planning, thanks Jaehee sincerely for taking time out of her busy schedule to help. Jaehee unexpectedly blushes — she can’t remember the last time someone actually said thank you to her. (Hana, internally: oh my gosh, I’ve never seen Jaehee make that face before aaaa)

The conversation turns to the party’s flow. Hana notices that all the past parties have followed a similar format: opening, performances, presentation on how donation funds will be used, and so on. Jaehee says they can certainly stick with that structure, but once the theme is set, they’ll need to start inviting the right guests, booking a venue, choosing performances… (Jaehee: “And we could always have Zen perform.”)

The two of them have a genuinely great time chatting — and it’s clear they both enjoy each other’s company.

Later, Hana logs into the chatroom and announces she’s decided on a theme for the new party: supporting young people who are about to age out of Group Home Facilities. They’ll soon turn eighteen and have to leave, but most of them aren’t really prepared for what comes next. (Hana: “Kind of like me.”) Everyone in RFA thinks it’s a wonderful theme, and just like that — the next party has its direction!
