• I was watching TV and there was a special program about Valentine's Day.
• What's Valentine's Day?
• Well, according to the program, in Japan it's a day when women declare their love.
• Wow! I didn't know that.
• Then a month after that there's a day called ‘‘White Day’’ when the guy replies. It did not mention why it is called White Day.
• Japanese ladies have to wait such a long time for a reply?
• That's right. Oh! And a month after White Day, there is a day called ‘‘Black Day.’’
• What's Black Day?
• That's a Korean event. If things work out on Valentine's Day, women get a reply on White Day, right? But some couples don't end up together...
• Is Black Day for men and women who failed to get together on White Day?
• Bingo!
• No wonder it's called Black Day! But, what happens to people who don't find a partner on Black Day?
• Ummm... I have no idea.
