Many studies made by scientists have been going on for years now, but no one actually found a cure for this. Exactly 7 years ago, something called the Butter Virus, happened during a particularly hot summer. Due to the hot weather, sometimes reaching 118°C, people were rushing to the hospital, with severe symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, intense fatigue, but the most important one, was the fever. People's fever would reach 50°C and their bodies wouldn't handle the heat, so the warmth went to their skin, making it melt, like butter (which is why it is called 'Butter Virus'). Yes, their skin would melt. Flesh and bones would start showing up, since all the skin layers would burn, if the patient wasn't taken care of in time. So, the patients going to the hospital has to bathe in freezing cold water to cool down their fever and avoid their skin melting.

Another summer day in the laboratory, the current temperature outside is 110°C, and it's supposed to reach 125°C in the afternoon. The temperature in the lab is 20°C, less hot than outside, but enough to start sweating. You're working with tons of different liquids of different colors, trying to find the right combinations, with your coworker, Jongseob. Unfortunately, just like the other scientist in the laboratory, everything you tried has led to a failed experiment. The lab is safe, since it's insulated from the heat, with the strong air conditioners, and the fridges keeping the blood bags.
