Students from GEO Class 2-1 share their White Day experiences:
This episode was last year when I was studying in an academy. All students in our class exchanged candy all day. I chose a girl to give candy to because I wanted her to be my girlfriend. Her personality was so kind and friendly. So I was excited and felt happy about myself. It was my first time giving candy to a girl.
GyungA:
March 14 is White Day in Korea. It is the day when boys give candy to girls. Because I have a boyfriend, I received candy on White Day. Before White Day, my boyfriend told me "I do not have any money. So I cannot give you candy." But on that day, he gave me candy. Although he gave me only one candy, I was still overjoyed.
JiYeon:
White Day is a day when boys give candy to a girl who is special. But I am a freshman and I do not like alcohol a lot, which means I do not go out after class. So I do not have many friends or special friends. But I was not disappointed, because I am a generous and cool person. Who knows maybe next White Day will be different.
Last White Day, I had no expectations, because I thought no men would give me candy. But something special happened. A guy who takes the same math class as me gave me candy. I asked him "Why are you giving me candy?" He said "Because today is Valentines day." I thought "Oh my God, he doesn't know what day it is." After all, he should know what day it was. But I was very glad to receive the candy. I expressed my thanks to him. I want to be close to him.
White Day is a special day. It is a day when boys give candy to girls to make them happy. Next year I hope to receive candy from a boy who is special to me.
SeongGun:
On White day I did not get enough sleep. When I woke up I remembered that I should give some candy to my mother and sister. I had a problem though. My mother and sister live in Yongin and I was staying in Yeokgok. I also had to go classes. The result was that I could not give any candy to my mother and sister on White Day because they were too far away. The good thing was that I gave them candy that weekend.
YongHo:
On White Day I did not give anyone candy because I did not have any extra money.
However, when I find a girlfriend, I will give her some really special candy.
HaNeum:
Actually, I did not think about White day and although I did not receive any candy, I was not sad because I have never received any candy on White Day. But to my surprise, my sister gave me candy and it made me feel great! ♥.♥
It made me realize how much I love my sister ~ ; -)
I did not give any candy to my sister then but when I got home that weekend, I bought her a special gift!
WooJin:
During White day, boys give candy to their lover or any girls. I have no boyfriend, so I did not expect to receive any candy. But that day, i received candy! Oh yeah! ^_^ But my feelings were not good, because l received candy from a girl, my older sister. But the candy tasted out of this world. It made me happy because I received 'one candy' and that is better than 'no candy'. I was happy on White Day.
White Day is like Valentine's day. Boys give candy to girls. It was funny though because I had forgotten White Day all day. When I was going to my Information Engineering club, I realized it was White day! When I got to the club, all the freshmen gave me candy. That candy made me happy, but when I returned to my domitory I felt empty because I do not have a boyfriend. Next year, I hope to receive tons of candy from my boyfriend!
SeungJae:
Since I was in middle school, I have not had a girlfriend so I hated White Day. But this year, I gave candy to my friends in Elementary school and I sent a love letter to my girl friend.
After I finished studying, I went to the my a cappella club and practiced singing for a performance in May. After I finished practicing, I received some candy from friends and seniors. My feeling was nothing special because, they are just my friends. The person I truly wanted to give me candy is a senior in my club but I did not see him on White Day which made everything turn out ok. He thinks of me like a sister anyway.
MinGyun:
White Day is celebrated in Japan and Korea a month after Valentine's Day. Boys give chocolate and letter to girls. I did not have to give chocolate to somebody because I do not have a girlfriend yet but I am going to make one soon.
