A familiar smile
Prof. Kim
Hello Kai. What brings you here?
Kai
I've already submitted the application for scollership. But it says I have to submit my parents annual remuneration certificate.
Kai replied in a black expression
Prof Kim looked at the face of the boy. He felt sympathy for him. 'Poor boy ' he thought.
Prof. Kim
I'll see what can I do for you. Don't worry.
Prof. Kim
How's your study going?
Kai
Good (replied in cold manner)
Prof. Kim
Prof Jin is expecting a good grade from you in coming assesment. And I'm hoping you make me proud .
After listening the words from prof Kim, Kai got a gleam in his eyes for a second, then it's gone.
The change in his expression didn't escape Kims' eyes .
Prof. Kim
You can go to your class now .
Prof. Kim
Ohh by the way , Ms. Hana is going to take your biophysics classes from tomorrow. Inform your batch mates and pay attention to her classes.
Kai
Ok Prof. I'll inform them.
Kim thought for a moment and then pulled out a card from a drawer .
He dialed the number written on the card.
It was 2 pm almost. Hana went to the canteen for having lunch .
She sat in front of a table for professors .She opened her lunch box .
Hana

Niko came and sat next to her.
Niko

Niko

Kai entered into an empty classroom
He looked out the window.
He got a sweet fragrance of winter peonies.He put his head on the front desk.His eyes were getting close .His hair moved a little in the winter wind. He fell asleep .
Hana

Niko
