Peninsula: My cheat code is unscientific

Chapter 89 Meeting

Sunny didn't care about Taeyeon's situation. She was just worried about not having a chance to observe the two of them up close. As soon as she heard the invitation, her face lit up with a smile.

"Really? That's great! Where should we go for a drink? Taeyeon, let's go together tomorrow!"

Taeyeon's heart was bleeding at this moment, but she still had to force a smile:

"Yes, yes, let's go to Yoona's house together tomorrow."

"Yay!" Sunny patted the two of them hard on the back:
"Don't worry, I'll bring my own alcohol! I guarantee you'll have a great time!"

She had already started planning what kind of alcohol to bring to make it easier to get information out of them; she didn't believe that the other party's two small karaomi could outdrink her, a god of wine.

With Yoona's help and Sunny's forceful intervention, the matter was settled.

Taeyeon listlessly packed her bag, then, remembering something crucial, whispered to Yoona, "..."
"Well... Yoona, remember to go to bed early tomorrow."

Yoona's lips twitched slightly, and she nodded helplessly:

"……Inside."

Back at the apartment, Yoona tossed her bag aside and announced to Kang Cheol, who was peeking out from the kitchen:

"I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"Tomorrow night, Taeyeon unnie and Sunny unnie are coming to have drinks with you," Yoona said succinctly.

"Pfft—cough cough cough!" Jiang Che almost choked on his own saliva:
"Who? They're together? Want to drink with me? Here?!"

The expression on his face was terrifying—even when he was hiding in a safe house, the BOSS still came knocking on his door?
"Hmm." Yoona touched her nose a little guiltily:
"Taeyeon unnie suggested it. I had already refused once before, but it was really hard to keep refusing. Then Sunny unnie somehow heard about it and insisted on coming along... I think, with her around, it might actually be a good thing?"

Jiang Che's vision went black:
"Good news? Im Yoona, are you serious? What's so good about it?"

"What can I do?"

Yoona has also become a bit reckless:
"Anyway, it's all set. You were the one who started it, so you have to take the blame! I'm going back to my dad's house tomorrow. If anything happens, you can text me for help—but I doubt I can save you."

In short, you're on your own now. I believe in you. After all, even someone as smart as me has been fooled by you, so fooling the other two is a piece of cake. Fighting!

She clenched her fist in an encouraging gesture, then quickly got up and slipped back into her room.
"I'm tired, I'm going to sleep now, goodnight!"

Jiang Che: "..."

He stared at the bedroom door that was quickly closed, speechless and choked with emotion.

What is this called!
That night, it was time for Bat Yun to appear.

Jiang Che answered the video call with mixed feelings.

As soon as the screen connected, Taeyeon excitedly said:

"Hey! I'll come over to play with you tomorrow night! I've already told the main personality that she'll go to bed early!"

Jiang Che immediately switched on his acting skills and said in surprise:
"Really? Unnie, you're coming? But... here..."

"It's okay, it's okay, I've arranged everything!"

Taeyeon's eyes crinkled with laughter, but the next second, her excitement vanished, and she pouted in annoyance.

"Ah... well... there's some bad news... Sunny, for some reason, insisted on coming along..."

Jiang Che internally screamed, 'I knew it all along,' but on his face, he adopted a docile and obedient demeanor.

"Ah... I see. It's okay, unnie. It's nice that Sunny unnie came along too..."

Taeyeon thought about it and felt relieved, then asked expectantly:

"By the way, Yoona, besides making delicious breakfasts, can you make anything else? Like sweet and sour pork?"

"I know a little bit..." Jiang Che said modestly, but in his heart he was thinking, 'With Sunny around tomorrow, should I still become a master chef?' "Really? Wow! That's great!" Taeyeon clapped her hands happily.

"See you tomorrow night!"

Seeing how happy Taeyeon was, Kang Cheol's heart softened, and he responded softly:

"Okay~ I got it, unnie. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow~"

Taeyeon then chatted happily with him for a few more minutes before reluctantly hanging up the video call.

Putting down his phone, Jiang Che let out a long sigh, feeling a strong urge to rush into Yoona's room and beat her up.

The next afternoon, Yoona quietly packed her things, preparing to sneak back to her father's house for refuge. Before leaving, she glanced back at Jiang Che, who was slumped on the sofa, and surprisingly felt a little pity for him.

"Um... I'm leaving now. You... be careful. Don't let yourself be exposed!"

Jiang Che waved his hand weakly:

"Relax, relax! We'll meet force with force, and we'll overcome any obstacle. There's always a way out, and things will work themselves out."

Seeing his expression, Yoona was furious, but there was nothing she could do but hope that Jiang Che would handle it himself. So she turned around, quickly opened the door, and slipped out.

After seeing Yoona off, Jiang Che slumped down for a while, took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves and started a thorough cleaning—stuffing all his men's clothes into the deepest part of the closet, and then went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

As night falls, the lights are on.

The doorbell rang precisely at that moment.

Jiang Che took a deep breath, transformed into Yoona, put on a smile full of surprise and anticipation, and reached out to open the door.

Outside the door, Taeyeon stood at the front, her face adorned with delicate light makeup, her eyes filled with anticipation and excitement, and she was carrying a bag of fruit in her hand.

Sunny, who was following behind her, also seemed unusually excited, carrying several bottles of strong liquor.

"Yoona~" Taeyeon's smile was dazzling as soon as she saw him.

Before Jiang Che could even say "Please come in," she had already stepped forward, opened her arms, and given him a tight hug, nuzzling her head against his shoulder affectionately.

"we are coming!"

Jiang Che: "!!!"

His body stiffened slightly, but he quickly relaxed, returned the hug skillfully, and spoke in a light tone:

"Unnies, come in quickly!"

Sunny, standing behind, stared wide-eyed, her mouth slightly agape in an "O" shape.

Wait... are these two really going to do this? Didn't they just see each other in the company practice room yesterday? Why are they acting like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are meeting on the Magpie Bridge once a year? Taeyeon's enthusiasm is a bit too exaggerated, isn't it?
Jiang Che noticed Sunny's expression and felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly released Taeyeon, opened his arms to Sunny, and said casually:
"Sunny unnie, how about a friendly hug too?"

Sunny immediately showed a look of disgust, as if afraid of catching something, and waved her hands and backed away repeatedly:

"Ani ani! No need! Let us in quickly, it's so heavy!"

She shook the wine bottle in her hand and squeezed through the door first.

As they entered and were about to change their shoes, Jiang Che suddenly remembered something. He quickly grabbed two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet and handed them over. After they changed their shoes...
Taeyeon naturally took Kang Cheol's arm and walked into the living room together with a smile.

Sunny watched Taeyeon practically clinging to Kang Cheol, and that eerie feeling from Macau resurfaced—but why didn't she feel this way at the company before? How strange, is Taeyeon having a split personality?
The table is already set with dishes that look and smell delicious.

Wow! Yoona, did you prepare all of this?

Taeyeon exclaimed in surprise and naturally sat down next to Kang Cheol.

Sunny's lips twitched when she saw the scene. It looked so familiar. She glanced at the wine she had brought and was glad that she had prepared in advance. Tonight was the moment to reveal the secret.
