Heeseung & Aiko
Aiko sat in Heeseung's office, feeling a mix of anxiety and determination. They had a lot to figure out about her mother, and she was ready to spill everything she knew. Heeseung, leaning back in his chair, looked at her with a focused intensity.
"Tell me everything you remember," Heeseung said, his voice steady.
Aiko took a deep breath. "My mom, Dr. Mai Nakamura, worked for Genetech Industries. Two years ago, she left for a work trip and never came back. At first, she called and emailed regularly, but then... nothing. It's like she vanished."
Heeseung leaned his head back against the wall, letting out a frustrated sigh. "And you've had no contact since then? No clues, nothing?"
Aiko shook her head. "Nothing. I've tried calling her a million times, but it just goes to voicemail."
She remembered her phone, quickly pulling it out of her pocket. "Wait, let me try again," she said, plugging it into a charger and waiting for it to power on. She dialed her mother's number, but once again, it went straight to voicemail. "Damn it!" she cursed, slamming the phone down.
Heeseung leaned forward, his eyes sharp with concentration. "Do you have her email and password? Maybe we can find something there."
Aiko nodded slowly. "I know her email, but I've never had her password."
"Well, it's worth a shot," Heeseung said, turning his laptop towards her. "Try logging in. Maybe you can guess the password."
Aiko typed in her mother's email and began trying different password combinations. She started with the obvious ones: birthdays, names of pets, favorite books. Nothing worked. Each failed attempt added to her frustration.
"Fuck!" she groaned, running her hands through her hair. "Why is this so fucking hard?"
Aiko hesitated, then typed in her mother's full name. The screen blinked, but still no luck. "Nope," she muttered, clenching her fists in frustration.
Heeseung sighed, leaning his head against the wall. "Think, Aiko. What would your mom use as a password? Something personal, something only you would know."
Aiko racked her brain, trying to think of something. "She loved flowers," she said slowly. "Her favorite was the sakura blossom."
"Try that," Heeseung suggested.
Aiko typed in "sakura2020," and to her surprise, the screen changed. "We're in!" she exclaimed, her eyes widening with hope.
Heeseung leaned forward, peering at the screen. "Okay, let's see what we can find."
They began sifting through her mother's emails and files, searching for any clues. Most of it was mundane work stuff, but then they stumbled upon a folder labeled "Project Neomorph."
