Author Notes
1. White Day(March 14):In Japan, Valentine's Day is observed by females who present chocolate gifts (either store-bought or handmade), usually to a male, as an expression of love. The handmade chocolate is usually preferred by the receiver, because it is a sign that the receiving male is the girl's "only one". On White Day, the converse happens: males who received a honmei-choko or giri-choko (on Valentine's Day are expected to return the favor by giving gifts, usually more expensive. Traditionally, popular White Day gifts are cookies, jewellery, white chocolate, and marshmallows. Sometimes the term sanbai gaeshi ("thrice the return") is used to describe the generally recited rule that the return gift should be two to three times the cost of the Valentine's gift.

2. Black Day (April 14): A South Korean informal tradition for single people (to get together and eat Jajangmyeon (noodles with black bean sauce), sometimes a white sauce is mixed for those who did not celebrate White Day. The idea is that those who did not give or receive gifts on Valentine's Day (February 14) or White Day (March 14) can get together and eat Jjajangmyun, white Korean noodles with black bean sauce (hence the name), to celebrate their singledom.(Wikipedia Source)
