Leaving Summer Internship off Resume - Background Check

I didn’t get a return offer from my junior summer internship, landed at a worse shop for FT, and it raised a lot of questions during PE recruiting early on.

I ended up just taking it off my resume and did PE recruiting and ended up getting my dream spot.

I am now worried about my background check that they are about to run if that summer internship comes up.

I didn’t lie on my resume and no one ever asked about why I had a summer gap on my resume - but super worried about background check now
