PART TWO — STORY PAGE
Tuesday, 10 August
YN loves treating herself nicely.
She doesn’t know how many hours she spent doing her nightly routine instead of going immediately to bed after a long weekend shift at work. It’s unusual for her to neatly set all the throw pillows on the ground beside her bed to toss the blanket away and cuddle up in her huge bed. YN prefers to sit down at her little dressing table and moisturise her skin and do her nails. She also had that compulsive manner of rolling her hair into these big baby pink hair curlers her aunt gave to her for her 16th birthday, because “a lady should always be prepared for every situation, no matter the time. You have to look good. Who knows if the love of your life isn’t coming for you at any time?”
It’s hard to deny that her aunt does have a point and, to be honest, there’s nothing else in the world that she loves more than spending time alone to take care of herself. Her aunt taught her well to behave and look like a lady. But that is also where it ends.
She likes having the time at night, the silence. There’s no rush of the staff waking up and preparing everything and YN can pretend she’s on her own.
