PE/VC spring internship prior to top BB full-time?

Although I'm joining a solid IBD group full-time (BS/MS), I'm interning at a pretty good PE/VC firm during this school year. As the internship is temporary and the firm doesn't hire out of undergrad, would this still be risky?

I'm dead-set on joining the BB, but am worried that they might get upset if they knew about the internship.
