Lia’s hiatus was supposed to be temporary. Instead, it exposed fractures inside ITZY that nobody realized had already begun forming. Exhaustion. Emotional isolation. Pressure quietly eating away at them behind the scenes. Sung Benjamin was only supposed to help stabilize the situation. Unfortunately for everyone involved, emotional attachment has a habit of becoming something much harder to control.

Proximity changes people. What begins as emotional support during ITZY’s comeback preparations slowly evolves into something much harder to define. Between exhaustion, comfort, growing attachment, and the dangerous intimacy of being understood too well, Ben realizes too late that the closer everyone becomes to each other.

Ryujin wanted honesty. Ben made the mistake of giving it to her. Somewhere between expensive liquor, emotional oversharing, unresolved attraction, and one catastrophically irresponsible weekend, the line between emotional attachment and desire finally disappears completely. And somehow? Returning to the Top Floor afterward ends up being the most dangerous part.

After an emotionally overwhelming night leaves tensions, boundaries, and feelings more complicated than ever, the Top Floor wakes up to chaos, teasing, and a dangerously sleep-deprived Lia trying to survive the aftermath. As the group attempts to recover from both emotional burnout and each other, Ben makes a rare executive decision: cancel everything and force ITZY into a much-needed day of rest. What follows is a strange mix of luxury, healing, laughter, and financial ruin... maybe.

Waterbomb was supposed to be just another schedule. Instead, it becomes a day that forces everyone to confront how much the Top Floor has changed them. As ITZY takes the stage under the spotlight, an incident backstage reminds Ben exactly why he built this place in the first place—and how far he's willing to go to protect the people who call it home.
