LAVENDER || PARK SUNGHOON ff

CHAPTER 20

"Where are you going?" Winter asked, watching as Sunghoon stood up from the bed. It was already 5 p.m., and the day was winding down.

"I'm feeling much better now. Don't worry," Sunghoon said, stretching his limbs after being in bed for a while.

Winter's concern was evident. "But your head..."

"It's alright. The pain has completely gone," Sunghoon reassured her, offering a soft smile.

"Are you sure?" Winter asked, her worry still apparent.

"Yes, I'm sure. I'm perfectly okay," Sunghoon said, his smile growing warmer.

Winter looked relieved but still hesitant. "Well, I'm heading to my room. You should rest too. If you get bored, you can take a walk in the park here at the headquarters. It's safe, and the guys will show you around."

"There's also a flower garden you might like. You can stroll through it and get some fresh air. Although it's indoors, you can still see the sky," Sunghoon added, his gaze gentle.

"Really?!" Winter's eyes lit up with excitement. Sunghoon nodded, giving her the green light. With a joyful leap, Winter raced towards the living room, eager to explore after being cooped up for so long.

Sunghoon watched her go with a fond smile. "So cute," he murmured to himself. Her excitement was infectious, and it made his heart swell. After she was out of sight, he went to his room to take a warm bath—something his body needed for a quick recovery.

He also had to catch up on reports and other work that had piled up during his days off. As the leader of Enhypen and the only son of the Hybe clan boss, it was crucial that he stayed on top of his responsibilities. Despite the day's challenges, Sunghoon's thoughts kept drifting back to Winter. Since she had come into his life, he couldn't deny that he was slowly falling in love with her.

Winter was brimming with excitement as she dashed into the living room. After two long weeks of confinement, she finally had the chance to step out of her room and into the headquarters' indoor park. The thought of breathing fresh air and seeing the sky—even if it was just through a glass ceiling—made her heart race with joy.

She spotted Ni-ki, Jay, Heeseung, and Jake lounging on the couch, their attention absorbed by their phones. "Guys!" she called out, her face alight with enthusiasm. They looked up, their curiosity piqued.

"Do you have some free time?" Winter asked, her voice tinged with eagerness.

"I'm free now," Jake replied, a grin spreading across his face.

"Me too!" Ni-ki added with equal excitement.

Winter's relief was palpable. "Great! I was hoping you'd accompany me to the park. Sunghoon said it's okay to go if I'm bored."

Their faces brightened. "Sunghoon said that? Awesome! Let's go!" Jake said, already standing up, followed by Ni-ki.

Jay and Heeseung exchanged glances. "You guys go ahead. We'll catch up," Jay said, giving Winter a reassuring smile.

The group made their way to the garden, Jake leading the way. They passed through a hallway and emerged into a beautifully decorated indoor park. Winter's eyes widened in awe. The park was adorned with vibrant flowers, and a large window offered a view of a serene lake behind the headquarters.

"This is incredible," Winter whispered, her excitement bubbling over. She eagerly ran towards the flower garden.

"Welcome to Injang Park," a calm voice said behind her. Winter turned to see Jake and Ni-ki approaching with smiles.
