TWICE had been inactive for 4 months. ONCEs were defecting. Some even became BLINKs, trash-talking TWICE online. Meanwhile, the K-pop world was thriving:

SNSD’s biggest comeback

BTS reunited after enlistment

Red Velvet x Pocky

NewJeans x McDonald’s

BLACKPINK x Oreo

Sana was on the dorm floor. Not literally dead. Just emotionally. She cried every time a new collab dropped. ITZY even promoted BLACKPINK’s Oreo deal. Betrayal. The others gave up on food dreams.

But Jihyo was planning.

At the kitchen island, she'd write all day. When asked what she was doing? “Taxes.” In reality, she was creating Chewice: a TWICE-themed fast food chain. Funded by JYP in secret. Built across Korea. She never told the others.

2 months later, Jihyo had just approved the final grand opening. 2,000 branches. 20,000 staff. She said, “Get dressed. We’re going somewhere.”

Groans. Biting. Hissing. But they arrived.

Chewice Branch #0001. Exterior? “Mid,” said Momo. Interior? They froze.

JYP on the bouncy castle. MV screens. Bobblehead toys. And then... the menu:

They stared. Sana blinked. “I’m… a meal?” Jihyo smirked. “Order your set. Change anything.” Sana saw the toys. The mochi. The mochi!! She cried again—but this time, with joy.

Behind the counter: Chaewon. Employed. JYP was teaching her how to work the register. Then…Wonyoung entered. Holding a hiring flyer. “Wait… TWICE? Chaewon-unnie??” IZ*ONE flashbacks. Chaos.

Before she could run, JYP tossed her into a giant cupcake mascot costume. She was now: Chewie Cupcake. Official mascot of Chewice.

This wasn’t a collab. This was a fast food empire. This was Chewice.
