Peninsula: My cheat code is unscientific

Chapter 12 Taeyeon? Kang Cheol? (New reader's collection/reading guide)
As "Running Man" progressed, Kang Cheol was also drawn in. When Lee Kwang-soo made a funny face, the two people on the sofa almost simultaneously turned into Crocodile Yoon, and then subconsciously raised their hands to cover their mouths.

The movements are exactly the same.

Yoona caught a glimpse of Jiang Che's subtle movement out of the corner of her eye, and she instantly jumped in fright. She whirled around, her pupils dilating in shock, staring at Jiang Che in disbelief:

"What...what were you doing just now?!"

Jiang Che was startled and looked up blankly:

"Huh? I didn't do anything. I was watching...watching TV?" He had no idea what he had just done.

"You're copying me?!" Yoona pointed at his nose, raising her voice slightly.

"Learned from you? Learned from you in what way?" Jiang Che was genuinely confused, his head full of question marks.
Yoona looked at his genuinely bewildered expression, then glanced down at her own hand, which was still about to cover her mouth, and a chill ran down her spine. This wasn't learning at all!
This is... synchronization! Just like last night when he made that smug face with his own face on!
“Just now… that action…” Yoona tried to describe it, but found herself at a loss for words, only feeling a chill run down her spine:
"We...did the same thing at the same time! Exactly the same!"

Jiang Che finally realized what was happening, and after recalling the events, he was also shocked:
"Holy crap... did I see that? I didn't notice at all! Wait... what's going on?"

He also felt a bit creeped out; it was even scarier than being bricked up!

The two looked at each other blankly. The only sound in the living room was the exaggerated laughter from the television, which seemed particularly abrupt and eerie.

Yoona frowned, her doe-like eyes filled with confusion and wariness. "This is simply not scientifically sound..."

Jiang Che scratched his head, also looking like he'd seen a ghost.

"Yeah... It's already outrageous enough that she transmigrated and became Lin Yoona, but this also has synchronized movements? And if her physical attributes are also copied, then!"

So, did I first travel to a parallel universe where Yoona was inhabited, and then come to this world? So, I really am Yoona?

The two stared at each other for a long time, trying to find the answer in each other's faces, only to see the same bewildered look on their own faces.

Finally, Yoona slumped back onto the sofa, rubbing her temples in frustration.
"Never mind... I can't figure it out." She decided to temporarily categorize this matter as an "unsolved mystery of parallel worlds."

Jiang Che silently shrank back, muttering to himself, "This life is getting...more and more exciting."

In the following days, Yoona was too busy with work to pay attention to Kang Cheol. When she did come back, she would only briefly tell Kang Cheol not to go out, and otherwise leave him to fend for himself at home.

Jiang Che was quite happy to be free and easy. He didn't have to do anything at home. All he did every day was eat and sleep. In his previous life, he had someone to take care of him, but in this life, no one took care of him at all. Wasn't this a dream come true?
However, staying there for too long was truly boring. Jiang Che sighed, slumped onto the large sofa in the living room, and stared blankly at the ceiling. He began to reminisce about his life in his previous life.

Back then, he was either in a bar or a club, or vice versa. Now, he's either on the sofa or in bed, or vice versa.

"No, I need to find some fun." With that thought, she slowly strolled to the kitchen.

Then the gears of fate began to turn, and the front door suddenly opened. Yoona dragged her tired body through the door, not even having had time to change out of her high heels. "Kang Che..." Before she could finish speaking, she saw a petite figure sprawled on the living room sofa.

Her light blonde hair was scattered messily on the cushions, and she wore an obviously ill-fitting oversized T-shirt, with her two bare legs casually curled up.

The man was holding a game controller, grinning at Mario on the TV screen, and muttering something under his breath:
"Yay! I got all the gold coins!"

That slightly childlike silhouette… Yoona's pupils suddenly contracted, her mind went blank:
Unnie?! Taeyeon?! What's she doing here?! How did she get in?! Did she spot Kang Cheol?!

"Unnie...?" Yoona's voice was dry and tight as she tentatively called out.

"Hmm?" The person on the sofa turned their head naturally upon hearing the sound. When their gaze met Yoona's face, which was filled with shock, a sly glint appeared in their eyes.

Then, Kim Tae-yeon's voice rang out very naturally:

"Huh? Yoona, you're back?"

Yoona then realized that she had just broken up with Kim Tae-yeon, so how did Tae-yeon end up in her house?

Could this be Jiang Che?! A surge of anger, as if mocked, instantly overwhelmed her reason.

"Kang! Cheol!!!" Yoona transformed into a vengeful goddess, even forgetting her high heels, she rushed forward, grabbed the nearest cushion, and slammed it down on "Kim Tae-yeon's" face with all her might. "You scared me to death!!!"

"Ouch!" The pillow landed squarely on his face, sending Jiang Che staggering backward, the controller flying out of his hand.

He quickly pulled away the cushion, revealing Kim Tae-yeon's face, but instead showed an expression that belonged to Kang Cheol:
"Don't hit me! Don't hit me! It's a misunderstanding! A huge misunderstanding! I just turned into this person! I just woke up!"

"Change?!" Yoona was furious, raining down pillows. "I'll teach you to change! I'll teach you to pretend to be an unnie and scare people!"
"Hey, don't hit someone in the face! If you mess up your unnie's face, can you afford to pay for it? If you keep doing this, I'll fight back!" Jiang Che was hit and ran away with his head in his hands.

"Unnie? You're not a real unnie! Try resisting!" Yoona was panting, but her offensive showed no signs of abating.

"Let's give it a try!" Jiang Che seized an opening, sprang up from the sofa, lunged forward without a care, and instinctively reached out with his arms.

In the chaos, he felt himself embrace something. Warm, with a slightly sweet perfume scent, and... an unexpected soft touch through the thin fabric.

Yoona felt a sudden, forceful force come over her, her body was instantly restrained, and she even felt herself being touched.
"Let go! Jiang Che! Let go of me!" she said, twisting her body with all her might. She struggled again but still couldn't break free. She then kicked Jiang Che in the shin.

"Hiss!" Jiang Che gasped, abruptly released his grip, staggered back two steps, and sat back down on the sofa.

Yoona finally broke free of her restraints, glared at Jiang Cheol with annoyance, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress the urge to beat him up again, attempting to make her voice sound calmer:
"Now, right now! Explain yourself! What exactly is going on?!" Little Doe's eyes were fixed on Jiang Che.

Jiang Che, sporting that "Kim Tae-yeon" face, was now looking away because he had touched something earlier, and his fingers were unconsciously picking at the hem of the oversized T-shirt that clearly belonged to Yoona.

He cleared his throat, his voice a little unsteady:
"It's a long story..."

"Then get to the point!" Yoona said with an impatient expression.

"Okay, okay, I'll talk, I'll talk!" Jiang Che spoke rapidly:
"I drank some alcohol, took a nap, and then this happened?"

Yoona's face turned into a question mark:
"You should continue with your long story."

　Godfathers, charge with me!
