Peninsula: My cheat code is unscientific

Chapter 62 Choice
So... what happened just now?

I got kissed? Even if it was just a touch? And then I reverted to my original form?!

Is this some kind of transformation-breaking spell? A real-life frog prince? He needs a beautiful girl's kiss to unlock his original form?!

This premise is so outdated! Even male-oriented novels on Qidian don't use this kind of thing anymore! But if I'd known it was that easy, I should have just gone straight for it after Yoona fell asleep that night! What a waste of time…

Thankfully, I no longer have to worry about being exposed every day because I look like a girl group member, and my abs are back. What a kind guy, Thailand! He paid me and even unlocked the door!

Jiang Che was overjoyed; he could finally travel the world as a man.

But this ecstasy lasted for less than two seconds, and like a balloon punctured by a needle, it quickly deflated.

Returning to your original form... and then what?

He suddenly realized an extremely serious problem.

The original owner of this body was also an unregistered person!

In this world, Jiang Che has no ID card, no household registration book, and no bank card! He's a complete nobody!
How about going to the embassy and saying you were trafficked to the peninsula as a child? Hmm... let's not even talk about whether it will work. Even if it does, I probably won't be able to get 100 million won in two months after I get back—no, I mean 110 million won.

Should he just take the 100 million and run? Leaving aside the fact that Yoona would definitely look for him, just thinking about Taeyeon... Kang Cheol suddenly recalled the conversation between Taeyeon and Yoona after Taeyeon couldn't find him—

"Hey, Yoona, why haven't you been showing your alternate personality lately?"

"We can't get out."

"Hey, are you hiding her? Fine, she doesn't have to come out, just give me back my 100 million."

"??? What? One hundred million?"

“…deba deba”

Then came the two factions, the legitimate and the illegitimate, simultaneously welcoming their return to their rightful place.

Hiss—Jiang Che suddenly shivered. He felt that life was hard now, and he sighed.

Then he silently picked up his phone, ready to check the Bitcoin market, but he had no hope at all.

According to his understanding, Bitcoin would not start to rise until at least the end of 2015. After turning on his phone, the screen lit up and a notification of an unread text message immediately caught his eye.

Sender: [Lim Yoona]

The message was sent around the time he and Taeyeon were drinking in the living room, before he started transforming.

Jiang Che opened the text message with a puzzled look.

【I've transferred 20 million to you. Have fun tomorrow, but don't get too carried away. Remember to come home early. Also, don't do anything weird with my face on your person! —Lim Yoona】

Jiang Che stared at the text message, stunned.

Twenty million... He only gave ten million to help Yoona participate in RM. The previous twenty million was just something he casually mentioned. He never thought it would actually be given, since she had even asked him to rob her.

But she not only gave it to him, she also told him to have fun and go home early... home? Home?

An extremely complex emotion quietly welled up in his heart, pressing heavily against his chest. At this moment, those everyday moments between him and Yoona flashed uncontrollably through his mind.

He stared at the text message for a long time, his finger hovering over the screen for ages, before finally replying with only two words:
Okay, sure.

I had just finished replying to the text message when I heard a rustling sound beside me.

Jiang Che turned his head and saw that Taeyeon had turned over at some point and was facing him. She was sleeping soundly, and under the light, her skin was as delicate and fair as a baby's, as if it could be broken with a touch.

Her light eyebrows were naturally relaxed, and her eyelashes drooped quietly, trembling gently with her breath.

His rounded nose and slightly parted lips gave him a slightly goofy look, and the corners of his mouth naturally turned up, as if he were having a sweet dream. His whole face radiated the purity and tranquility of a newborn baby. Looking at Taeyeon now, he felt a completely different feeling compared to when he watched Yoona sleep—thinking of her drunken tirade, her quick gratification when giving him money, and how she patted his head and said:
The gentleness when saying "Yoona is a good child," and that kiss that just came straight up to her.

Countless images intertwined, making his emotions increasingly tangled and difficult to unravel. Before he could sort them out, he heard Taeyeon mutter incoherently in her sleep:
"Yoona...don't run away..."

Jiang Che was still puzzled about what dream she could possibly have connected to Yoona when he saw her lips slightly pouting, as if unconsciously asking for something. Seeing Taeyeon like this, and recalling every word she had said that evening—

Even if he really is a fool, he should understand by now.

So... Kim Tae-yeon...could she be...?

You've fallen for me, haven't you?!
Holy crap! What's going on? I don't think I did anything!
In an instant, all emotions vanished like smoke. Jiang Che felt utterly overwhelmed, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Putting aside whether Taeyeon will feel she was cheated out of money and sex after she finds out the truth,

Just imagine if Yoona found out that Taeyeon had attacked her face directly, I don't know whether she would kill the audacious Kim Taeyeon first, or kill herself, the source of all evil, first?

Jiang Che imagined the scene and immediately shuddered.

Jiang Che looked at Kim Tae-yeon, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and then remembered the money transfer text message on his phone. In the end, he could only sigh resignedly.

Forget it.

The original body is good, but now is not the time.

At least... he should continue to hide until he sorts out this mess of relationships.

Anyway, at least I know I can turn back, so at least I won't live with a girl group face forever. Although this body doesn't seem to have anything wrong with it, fair skin, beautiful face, long legs...

*Slap!* Jiang Che mentally slapped himself.

What are you thinking about? Quickly recite the Mind-Cleansing Mantra to dispel those chaotic thoughts.
There's plenty of time in the future.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Che immediately felt relieved and even a little pleased.

At least I don't have to be a pretty girl forever! That's enough to make me want to drink a big toast!

He glanced at Taeyeon, who was still asleep, and said:
"Goodnight, good man Tai... Sweet dreams," he said, then turned and walked toward the door.

After leaving the house, Jiang Che looked at the mess in the living room and imagined the wonderful life he would enjoy after returning to his original self. He couldn't help but smile wildly.

Jiang Che hummed an off-key tune as he began to clean up the mess in the living room.

After tidying up, I collapsed on the sofa, picked up my phone again, and read the text message Yoona had sent me once more.

【I've transferred 20 million to you. Have fun tomorrow, but don't get too carried away. Remember to come home early. Also, don't do anything weird with my face on your person! —Lim Yoona】

Jiang Che stroked his chin, his thoughts drifting. This tone was somewhat like a wife transferring pocket money to her husband who was out having fun, and then reminding him to come home early.

He quickly shook his head:
"How could Im Yoona be like this? It's more likely to be Taeyeon, but what's wrong with Kim Taeyeon? She usually seems quiet and reserved, but is she really this brave?"
He was already a succubus, but they still said A and he'd just accept it. Am I a succubus reincarnated? The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and now he didn't know how to treat Kim Tae-yeon.

"Fine, whatever," he finally gave up the struggle. "At this stage, we should stockpile grain, build high walls, and delay declaring ourselves king."

Before he knew it, Jiang Che finally fell asleep on the sofa after tossing and turning.

In his dream, he was sometimes a billionaire, sailing around the world on a yacht; other times he was being chased all over the world by a double team of Im Yoona and Kim Tae-yeon.

The final shot freezes on the Macau Tower—he's holding Taeyeon's hand, and behind him, Yoona is crying and asking him:

"Are you choosing Taeyeon unnie or me?" Before he could even decide, Taeyeon grabbed his hand and jumped off the cliff.

"...Holy crap, did this brat bungee jump without a safety harness? A strong feeling of weightlessness suddenly hit me..."
