ok to chill out after accepting an offer a year out?

was wondering everyone's thoughts on not working sophomore year summer after accepting a summer analyst position for junior year summer. i accepted a 2026 summer analyst position with jpm and was worried they might ask me about a gap in my resume if i just go back to my small hometown summer job this summer instead of doing something finance related. its already signed so they can't take it away right?
