"Good morning ms.romero."
"Good morning mr.kim."
Ava sits in the dean's office. She wasn't particularly sure why she was there. She's been in school for a while now and never stepped foot in his office until now.
She's sitting there waiting for him as he starts to pull papers out.
When she entered his office she smelled rich soil so she knew he had to have numerous plants in his office. The smell wasnt too much. Although an average person wouldn't have smelled it.
"I didn't want to meet with you right away. I wanted you to get settled in and comfortable. Im assuming you are now right?" He asks. His voice is calm and relaxing.
"Yes."
"Good. Good. I see you had excellent grades. Honor roll student. You should look into joining clubs."
She twists the ring on her finger. "Im not really into anything social." She says.
"Ah okay,i see." He looks at the papers in front of him.
Mr.kim was described as very laid back. Hes young, tall and kept himself in good shape. He had a good sense of humor and easy to talk to. Girls always talked about how good looking he was and would go to his office making up excuse just to flirt with him. Of course he wouldn't flirt back, he knew what they were doing -well trying to do.
Hes been a dean at the university for five years now and loved his job.
"Can i ask you a question?" Ava asks.
"Yes,of course."
"What kind of plants do you grow?" He looks up. The question catches him off guard.
He looks over at his plants. "Plum blossom bonsai. But mainly Dracaena and Philodendron."
"I've always wanted to grow a bonsai tree. I know it takes a long time."
"Indeed it does. Ive had mine for six years now." He says proudly.
"Wow you have alot of patience."
He chuckles. "Yes, especially working in this profession. You like to grow plants?"
"Somewhat. I started about two years ago. The first year I really just spent on learning the proper care for them and different names and where they grow. Like the plum blossom is maewha in korean."
Namjoon was impressed with her knowledge. He saw how dedicated she was when it came to learning something new.
"Speaking of korean , there are quite a few here. And i myself am of course. I heard you know Park Jimin very well?"
She nods.
"He was a good student when i had him last year. Very dedicated to dance as well. He came to my office a few times." He knew he couldn't discuss other students conversations so he left it at that.
"Getting off topic alittle there. You should consider joining the Garden club. The new green house was built last year. It's beautiful."
"I didn't know we had a green house." She says.
"If youd like i can give you a tour whenever your free. The master gardener is real awesome too. Everyone loves him. I feel like the two of you would get along really well."
She ponders on it. "Im free after one." She says.
He smiles and nods. "Good. I'll see you then."
