Technically, your account no longer exists. It's part of the Business account now. If you had a paid account, any remaining time you had left on your subscription would have been refunded to the payment method on file.
Can I unjoin from his account?
If you leave the account or you're removed from it, your account is deleted along with all content. Instead, you need the team admin to convert your account back to an individual account. If you had a paid subscription previously, you'll need to resubscribe.
