Peninsula: My cheat code is unscientific

Chapter 94 Sunny is about to explode

Jiang Che felt that his title as a top screenwriter was about to be ruined. His mind went blank, and he couldn't think of a good reason for it, so he could only remain silent.

Taeyeon, seeing Sunny's silence, then turned to Yoona:
"Yoona, you said something's up. What is it?"

Yoona had only made it up in a moment of panic, and now that she had been directly exposed, she was speechless and unable to reply.

Taeyeon delivered a double kill, and silence filled the bedroom tonight.

Looking at their identical guilty expressions, she suddenly widened her eyes and had a startling thought—could it be... that Sunny also likes Yoona?
That's why she panicked and hid as soon as she saw me? So, does she like... the primary personality or the secondary personality?
The thought struck Taeyeon like lightning, causing her to gasp and feel a complex mix of emotions, including bitterness and shock.

Has the world gone this crazy? Even cheerleaders are being fought over?! Wait... then how did Sunny manage to so brazenly and righteously warn me before?
Just as Taeyeon felt her worldview was crackling and piecing itself back together—

"Ding-dong—ding-dong ding-dong—"

The doorbell rang again!

Jiang Che froze, his scalp tingling instantly—who could it be so late at night? Was the doorbell cursed tonight? He instinctively looked at Yun'er.
Yoona's face turned deathly pale in an instant, revealing a desperate expression that said, "My life is over," and "The sky is about to fall."

Then, Yoona, disregarding Taeyeon's presence, rushed into the bedroom, ran to Kang Cheol's side, and whispered a scream into his ear:
"It's all over! It's all over!"

"What's over?" Jiang Che felt uneasy at her reaction, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
With a mournful face, Yoona quickly pulled out her phone, unlocked the screen, and almost tremblingly handed it to Kang Cheol.

Jiang Che looked closely and saw a sent text message on the screen, the recipient being none other than [Sunny Unnie]!
The message read: "[Sunny unnie, Taeyeon unnie is drinking at my house and said she wants to stay. Do you want to come over?]"

Below, there are no records of Sunny's replies.

Jiang Che stared at the text message, his mind going blank.
"Yoona, I don't quite understand. Are you planning a party tonight? Or are you already ready to lay your cards on the table?"

Yoona explained in a very fast voice:

"I was just going to the bathroom, and Taeyeon unnie actually said she wanted to stay... So I thought I'd use someone else to do my dirty work and call Sunny unnie over. Didn't you manage to get both of them drunk by yourself before?"
"Given Sunny's personality, she definitely won't come back to challenge you to another drinking contest. If she doesn't drink too much, she has no reason to stay overnight. And if she doesn't stay overnight, she'll probably take Taeyeon unnie with her when she leaves! She would never let Taeyeon unnie and me spend the night alone."

She became increasingly anxious as she spoke, her voice almost breaking into tears:
"But I never expected Taeyeon unnie to just push open the bedroom door, and I never expected Sunny unnie to... she didn't reply to my messages, but just showed up here!"

I waited for so long, but Sunny didn't reply to my message and I didn't hear the doorbell. I thought she was asleep... I couldn't hold it in any longer, so I asked you to come and relieve me, sob sob..."

Listening to Yoona's long string of logic, Jiang Che felt that...maybe...it seemed...there was a little bit of truth to it? But seeing Yoona's almost tearful appearance, his expression softened, and he gently patted her head.
"Yeah, it's okay. Maybe it's not Sunny outside the door at all. Besides, at worst it'll just turn into a confession game, it's fine."

The two were whispering to each other, while Kim Tae-yeon watched them talking in front of her, and even witnessed Kang Cheol's intimate gesture of ruffling Yoona's hair. She couldn't help but think to herself:
'Could it be that Sunny likes Yoona's main personality? Well... that doesn't seem so bad? The alternate personality for me? The main personality for her? It doesn't seem... unacceptable?'

Just as her thoughts were drifting further and further away, the doorbell rang again, interrupting her reverie. She snapped back to reality and said:

"Yoona, the doorbell has been ringing for ages, aren't you going to open it?"

Im Yoona jolted, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace:
"Ah...haha, unnie, maybe...maybe a drunk guy rang the wrong doorbell! Don't worry about him! Yes! Don't worry about him!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her phone vibrated violently, the screen lit up, and the caller ID showed—Sunny Unnie!

As Yoona stared at the name flashing on the screen, her heart nearly stopped. Her hands trembled as she picked up the phone, swiped to answer, and before the other person could speak, she blurted out in rapid succession:

"Unnie, everything's alright now! She's home. Thank you for your concern, goodnight!"

After saying that, she immediately tried to hang up the phone.

Just a second before the call was about to end, a piercing voice, tinged with obvious anger and panting, came through the receiver: "Hey, Yoona, you..."

Immediately afterwards——

"Ding-dong—ding-dong—ding-dong"

The doorbell rang again, this time more urgently.
Taeyeon also vaguely heard the unfinished sentence coming from the phone. That voice... it sounds familiar...

She simply ignored the two clueless geese on the bed and walked straight towards the door, her tone leaving no room for argument:
"You two, come out with me too."

Yoona tried one last time to stop her, quickly catching up and grabbing Taeyeon's arm.

"Unnie! Wait!"

Taeyeon stopped in her tracks, glanced at Yoona, and said resolutely, "Get out of my way."

Yoona was taken aback by that look and subconsciously let go of his hand.

Taeyeon walked to the door and looked through the peephole. In that instant, she froze, her face contorted with shock and absurdity. She could hardly believe her eyes, and leaned closer to check again.
Then she suddenly turned around and looked at Jiang Che, who had just climbed out of bed and was standing at the bedroom door with a look of utter despair.

Jiang Che felt a chill run down his spine from Taeyeon's ghostly gaze, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart was completely extinguished—his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

Taeyeon felt as if her worldview had been repeatedly shattered and rebuilt throughout the night, and now it had finally been completely reduced to dust once again. Her hands trembled as she gripped the doorknob.

Outside the door, Lee Soon-kyu, holding his phone which had just been disconnected, was slightly out of breath and glaring angrily at the closed door.

She only saw the text message after she finished showering, and rushed over without even drying her hair. She rang the doorbell for a long time but no one answered. When she called, Yoona actually dared to hang up on her!
If she doesn't get this broken door open today, she's not Li Sanlang.

Just as she was hesitating whether to ring the doorbell again or continue making the call, she heard a soft "click".

The door is open.

Inside the door stood not Lim Yoona, but Kim Tae-yeon, her face pale, her eyes filled with complex emotions, as if she had just witnessed aliens landing on Earth.

Sunny paused for a moment, then blurted out:

"Taeyeon? You...you didn't go home?"

Then, remembering Yoona's lying phone call, his anger surged again. Ignoring Taeyeon's expression, he shouted:

"Hey! Kim Tae-yeon, move aside! Where's Im Yoon-ah?! Let her out here! I just finished showering and rushed over without even drying my hair, and she dared to lie to me and say you went home?"

But Taeyeon didn't move aside as she expected. She still stared at her with that ghost-like look, and then, extremely stiffly and subconsciously, turned her head to look into the apartment.

Lee Soon-kyu was a little confused by Taeyeon's strange attitude, and her anger subsided slightly. A thought began to creep into her mind:
'What's going on? Taeyeon's expression... why does she look like she's seen a ghost? Is it because she's upset that I'm blocking her way?'

Thinking this, she felt she had done a good deed, and prepared to squeeze in sideways. Just as she peeked halfway in and looked up to find Yoona—

Then, she saw it.

Two people were standing in the living room, near the bedroom.

One was Lim Yoona, pale-faced, helpless, and with a look that said, "I'm doomed."

And the other...

the other is……

Lee Soon-kyu's pupils suddenly contracted, and his mouth unconsciously opened slightly.

The other one was... with a head of messy hair, looking at him with an extremely embarrassed and panicked expression—

I?!!
Lee Soon-kyu felt a chill run from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head, which startled her so much that she took two steps back and almost lost her balance and fell to the ground!
"Mo...Mo?!"

She pointed at herself in the apartment, her voice sharp and distorted with extreme shock and fear. Her brain completely shut down, unable to comprehend the supernatural scene before her!
Taeyeon looked at Sunny outside the door, who was terrified, then looked back at Sunny inside the apartment, who was equally panicked, and finally turned her gaze to Yoona, who was curled up in a ball next to her.

She silently stepped aside, making way for Lee Soon-kyu, who was also suffering a devastating blow to his worldview, and said in a sleepwalking tone:
“Come in…come in…”

Sunny looked at the person in the room who looked exactly like her, then at Taeyeon's blank expression, and felt a chill run down her spine; her tongue even seemed to tie itself in knots.
"No...no...I might not be the right person to attend your party today...I think I've come at the wrong time...I'll...I'll be going now!"

Before she could finish speaking, she turned to slip away, but Taeyeon grabbed her arm tightly and dragged her into the house. Then, with a "smack"—

The door was slammed shut.

A deathly silence fell over the apartment.

Four people, eight eyes, glanced at each other in the middle of the living room, but no one was willing to speak first. Jiang Che and Yun'er stood side by side, looking like two students caught in a relationship by the headmaster.

Sunny was pressed against the door, her mouth slightly open, her gaze darting wildly between Jiang Che and Yoona, feeling as if she had stumbled into a horror movie set.

Taeyeon—the short-statured woman who had already suffered a round of shocks—rubbed her throbbing temples.

He first looked at Yoona, whose soul seemed to have left her body, and his voice was filled with disbelief:

"Tell me... Yoona, what exactly... is going on?"
