It started one lazy afternoon inside their dorm's living room, the girls scattered on beanbags and couches, sipping iced drinks while the TV played in the background. They were tired but happy, having just finished rehearsals, and somehow the topic shifted to what it would be like to have their own personal lounge, just for TWICE.

Sana: You know… wouldn’t it be fun if we had our own little lounge? Like, a space just for us to hang out, play games, maybe even do karaoke together?

Nayeon: laughs "With your definition of 'little,' we'd need an entire building. But okay, that does sound fun."

Momo: As long as there's a dance studio and a snack bar, I’m in.

Seven months later, the group found themselves at their favorite local bakery, enjoying pastries after a long day of schedule hopping. They were seated around a corner table, the warm scent of freshly baked bread filling the air.

Sana: chewing thoughtfully Hey Nayeon, have you ever thought about really making that TWICE Lounge idea happen? Like… seriously building it?"

Nayeon: wipes her mouth with a napkin Honestly? Yeah. But I wouldn’t even know where to start.

Jihyo: chiming in casually as she takes a sip of her tea You don’t have to. I already started working on it months ago.

Sana: eyes widen Wait—what?

Jeongyeon: leans in Are you being serious right now?

Jihyo: smiling smugly Dead serious. I’ve been working with our team on the design.

Dahyun: laughing Leader-nim strikes again!

Momo: Jihyo!! Are you serious?! Like, for real for real? Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, this is insane! I mean, we’re really going to have our own TWICE Lounge? With everything we dreamed about?! I can already see it, the soft beanbags and just live there. Like literally LIVE there! Oh! And I wanna paint, maybe put little drawings of all of us on the walls. Can I do that? Jihyo, can I? This is seriously the best surprise EVER. I’m not gonna sleep tonight just thinking about it!
