Overworked & Overwanted

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.

The morning after Yuna crosses a personal threshold with Ben, the Top Floor turns into an emotional tribunal disguised as breakfast. Yeji, Lia, and Ryujin confront the aftermath with equal parts concern, teasing, and reluctant honesty, while Yuna proves she is no longer content being treated like someone outside the circle.

TWICE finally visits the Top Floor. What begins as a simple gathering quickly turns into something much bigger as old secrets become shared truths, boundaries become conversations, and two impossible worlds learn they are not as different as they thought.

After the chaos of TWICE’s visit to the Top Floor, Ben and Yeji prepare for the next impossible step: convincing JYP to approve a private recovery retreat for ITZY and TWICE.

A luxury retreat was supposed to be two weeks of peace for ITZY and TWICE—no schedules, no cameras, no expectations. Instead, the first day brings public embarrassment, private confessions, and emotions that can no longer be ignored

The vacation continues as Ben tries to keep his promise of “less chaos,” only for the day to unravel through quiet emotional progress, dangerous temptation, and the growing weight of everyone’s desires. Lia takes another careful step toward wanting Ben without shame, Ryujin finally cashes in on the tension left behind from Waterbomb.

After days of emotional weight, chaos, and complicated truths, Ben and Yeji finally get a moment that belongs only to them. With no crisis, no teasing, and no one else pulling them in another direction, their intimacy becomes something softer and more deliberate: a reminder that Ben does not only want Yeji when the world pushes him toward her, but simply because she is Yeji

After the retreat finally forces everyone into a low-volume day, Ben is pulled into a quieter kind of intimacy—first with Lia, who learns that wanting more does not have to become debt

After a night that leaves everyone closer than they expected, the resort wakes up quieter—but not simpler. Between breakfast chaos, emotional honesty, private vulnerability, and a sunset date that nearly becomes a promise for the future, Ben and Yeji find themselves close enough to imagine the life t

Ben through a vacation day where control keeps getting taken out of his hands in the best and worst ways possible. What begins with Momo’s barbecue day slowly turns into Chaeryeong learning she can tell him "no".

A quiet beach day should have been simple. Food, sun, laughter, and a rare afternoon where no one has to be anyone’s manager, leader, or responsibility. But with TWICE and ITZY sharing the same space, even the smallest moments become impossible to ignore. Teasing turns into honesty, jokes start landing a little too close to the heart, and the retreat slowly becomes less about escaping the outside world and more about realizing who feels like home inside it.
