Peninsula: My cheat code is unscientific

Chapter 53 Sunny's Imagination

This…this feeling…is this the feeling Taeyeon felt when she was touched before…it feels so strange! Then she immediately realized what was happening and slapped Kang Cheol's hand away:

"Hey Yoona, touching your head will stunt your growth! Don't be so disrespectful to your unnie!"

Jiang Che paused slightly upon hearing this, feeling a sense of déjà vu. He turned to look at Taeyeon, who was anxiously watching him from behind the glass wall. He then glanced back at Sunny, inwardly muttering to himself:
Tsk, don't be surprised, they're both from Girls' Generation, both short, both have the same figure—uh… scratch that.

Noticing that Sunny's gaze was becoming increasingly strange, he quickly pulled himself back from his rambling thoughts and said seriously:

"Unnie, you've done a great job, really. Leave the rest to me, you can take a break."

Sunny looked at the face in front of her that was clearly Yoona's, and the expression was one of fear, but she still felt a sense of incongruity.

But this unease was immediately dispelled by the fear of being high in the sky, and her voice trembled slightly:

"Hey... Yoona... are you sure you can handle this... don't, don't start shaking even more than me... I'll have to support you..."

Although that's what she said, her eyes clearly showed more gratitude and dependence, almost as if she had eight big words engraved on her forehead: "Yoona, you are simply an angel."

Hearing Sunny's words, Jiang Che breathed a slight sigh of relief; it seemed his performance had been somewhat successful. Maintaining his fearful expression, he nodded vigorously, then took a deep breath.

Looking down, one could see a white strip of paper tied to a thin rope fluttering in the wind.

He then slowly bent down, reaching one hand outwards towards the outside of the steel frame!
Sunny watched Yoona's actions with lingering fear, not daring to breathe loudly!

Yoo Jae-suk and Haha were also gripping the safety rope tightly, holding their breath in tension.

Inside the glass wall, Taeyeon clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white, and the worry on her face was clearly visible.

With a flick of his finger, Jiang Che caught the thin rope. Then, he slowly pulled the rope up little by little until the note landed steadily in his palm.

"got it."

Jiang Che deftly withdrew his arm, easily straightened up, and casually held the note between his fingers.

Sunny only felt a blink of an eye, and before she could react, the note was already in Yoona's fingers. She let out a long breath, then belatedly realized and her eyes widened:
"Wow... Im Yoona! Aren't you...aren't you scared? How could you be so fast?!"

Jiang Che's heart skipped a beat; he'd been so focused on efficiency that he'd forgotten about acting. He quickly pursed his lips:
"Um... Unnie, these things... it's better to get it over with quickly than to drag it out! The more I think about it, the scarier I get, so let's just get it over with quickly... Actually... my legs are already a little weak. Okay, let's go down quickly..."

Sunny squinted at him, feeling that sense of unease return, yet it also made sense. Thinking that the mission was finally complete, a relieved smile spread across her face.

"Okay, okay, good that you got it! I'll treat you to Korean beef when we get back!"

Jiang Che gave a dry laugh, not caring whether Sunny believed him or not, since he had already prepared himself before coming up.

Moreover, it's already difficult to act scared, let alone act trembling as he takes the note—he felt that if he had that kind of acting skill, he could really become a Blue Dragon Film Award winner with Yoona's face.

As his thoughts turned to this, he suddenly remembered that he had been worried about his teammates before going on stage, and subconsciously looked towards his teammates' positions.

When Taeyeon noticed him looking over, she immediately flashed a bright smile and gave him a big thumbs up.

Jiang Che was momentarily stunned by that smile, and immediately grinned back with Locke Yun's classic smile.

Seeing Jiang Che's smile, Taeyeon's smile gradually disappeared, her lips twitched almost imperceptibly, she silently withdrew her thumb, her expression became somewhat complicated, and finally turned into a helpless yet indulgent shake of her head.

Upon seeing the note successfully retrieved, Yoo Jae-suk and Haha, who had been nearly scared out of their wits, instantly seemed to have received a shot of adrenaline. "Hey! Yoona!" Yoo Jae-suk was the first to react, his fear vanishing instantly, his voice booming back to normal.

"Well done! As expected of our Yoona! Yoona, you were the one who said we should form an alliance and share information! Right!"

Then HAHA, not to be outdone, immediately shouted:

"Yoona! From today onwards! I'm your number one fan! Forever a fan! Not just a fan! I'm also your dear oppa! Got it? Haha, dear oppa! So you should show this note to your dear oppa too, right?"

"Hey, haha, I'm Yoona's original fan! Ever since her debut! Right, Yoona? We're even closer! So quickly show Oppa what that character is!"

The two instantly got into a heated argument over "who is Yoona's closest oppa fan," their faces flushed and spittle flying.

Hearing the nonsense these two guys were spouting and their desperate attempts to get close to him, Jiang Che couldn't maintain his smile and inwardly exclaimed, "Good grief!"

That's how fast they change their expressions... Running Man is definitely a great place to toughen up your skin! Don't these two guys even realize where they are right now?

However, despite his complaints, Jiang Che's mind was working very fast:

"The words on this note are cryptic; these two are going to keep bothering me for who knows how long. It reminds me of that time at the airport, with Yoo Jae-suk's perpetual talking machine—his mouth just wouldn't stop. Just thinking about it gives me the creeps."

Rather than suffer such great pain, it's better to simply break the paper to ward off the disaster.

Thinking of this, Jiang Che immediately became obedient.
"Really? Jae-suk oppa, Haha oppa, you two are really my number one fans and my dearest oppas from today onwards?"

Yoo Jae-suk and Haha seemed to sense a potential opportunity; their eyes lit up, and they nodded vigorously, swearing oaths as if they were ready to give their hearts.

"Of course it's real! More real than real gold!"

"Yoona, Oppa's love for you is as clear as the sun and moon! If you ever need anything, just come to Oppa!"

"That's right! Anyone who dares to bully our Yoona will have to ask Haha oppa if he agrees first!"

Jiang Che didn't believe it at all, but on the surface, she maintained a touched expression and handed over the note:

"Well... it's a deal! From now on, I'll be in the care of my two dearest oppas!"

"No problem! I've got this covered, Oppa!"

The two of them spoke at the same time, almost snatching the note away, and immediately put their heads together to examine it nervously, completely forgetting about Yoona who had just been their closest friend.

"...Heh...I knew it."

But since he had achieved his goal, he quickly took the opportunity to slip away and helped Sunny, who was still squatting on the ground, to her feet.

"Unnie, let's go."

Sunny was practically hanging on him, being helped all the way back to the observation deck. Only when she was firmly on her feet did she feel like she had returned from hell to heaven. She quickly took a few breaths of fresh air and clung to Jiang Che, refusing to let go.

"I'm alive... The members don't need to bring me game consoles anymore... Waaah... Yoona, you're such a kind person!"

　I'm a newbie and I need everything!
