I Went Into A Sauna Room To Avoid The Heat

I pressed the air conditioner remote and waited for the relief of a cool breeze, but it never came.

The next second, Rena Laird’s shrill voice rang out from upstairs. “Air conditioning clearance sale! Enjoy all-day cooling for just $9.9.”

When I heard that familiar yet nauseating voice, I realized I had travelled back in time.

Before I could even mourn the fact that I had been baked to a crisp in my previous timeline, beads of sweat were already rolling down my cheeks.

I pulled out my phone and immediately searched for the nearest sauna. Without a second thought, I bought a ticket.

Just as I was about to head out, I remembered I had not turned off the AC. So I turned around and turned it off.

The next second, complaints came from upstairs.

“What’s going on, boss? Didn’t you promise all-day service? It’s already this hot, and we’ve only just arrived!”

“Yeah, it’s sweltering. Fix this fast, or we want our money back!”

I had barely reached the door when I heard the sound of heavy footsteps thudding down the stairs.

I closed the door, and Rena appeared right in front of me.

She was soaked through with sweat too. There was even a hint of venom in her eyes.

“Mila, it’s 100 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Why aren’t you staying indoors where there’s air-conditioning? Where are you going?”

This was a repeat from my past life. When I stopped feeling the cool air, my first thought was that something had gone wrong with my body.

I spent a fortune on a full medical checkup at the hospital, but they never found the cause.

When I got home, my boyfriend said it had to be all in my head. He thoughtfully used my money to buy three air conditioners and crammed them into our apartment.

It did not take me wrong to realize something was off.

Rena’s house was air-conditioned around the clock, yet her electricity bill never went up.

When I confronted Rena, my boyfriend was lying in her arms. He even had an ice pop in his mouth.

Not only did he refuse to defend me, but he also mocked me.

“You claim to have a condition where you can’t feel the air conditioning, but I think you’re just too poor to afford it!

“Get out of here right now. Stop freeloading off Rena’s air conditioning.”

By the time I got home, the heat had completely overwhelmed me. When I fainted, I never woke up again.

Rio Leiz finally showed up with Rena to check in on me when the power went out.

By the time they discovered me, I had already turned into a charred, blackened corpse.

Even in death, I found no peace.

Rio launched a live stream online as the “first person to discover the air-conditioned room corpse.” He feasted on my misfortune.

“What business is it of yours where I go?”

Just then, Rio came downstairs.

“Mila Zupan, are you out of your mind? Rena was just being kind and looking out for you. How could you speak to her like that?

“Go back to your room right now and turn on the AC. It’s dangerous if you get heatstroke.”

I brushed Rio’s hand away. “Forget the AC. I’m going to go to a sauna.”
