[ pushes a large cart covered with white cloth, while dressed in a well-pressed white suit ]

Anyonghaseyo~! It's already 14th March in Korea, and do you know what day that is? It's okay that senile Japan forgot about it, but Korea never forgets! Iiiiit'sssss...

[ whips off the sheet on the cart behind him in one smooth stroke and throws it up, leaving it to flutter in the air]

[fillegentille]

Au revoir, then! [tilts her face up for a kiss]

[...is still pretty irritated with him]

NO I WON'T TAKE MY TOP OFF ANON

[bake_einsamcake]

[feels guilt starting to nag at him (though he didn't even know about the day until a few minutes ago)]

I will meet you again soon; remember, we still have a dinner planned.

...

[leans down, cups her face in his hands and gives her a tender kiss; screw the spectators for once]

T-take care!

[runs off]

[anyongsoo]

No no no! [ shakes his head and waggles his finger at you ]

That's not how it works! If your woman gave you cologne on Valentine's, then you should give her something that's at least two or three times as expensive!

[ slings his arm across your shoulders and pats your left ]

A necklace or ring would be nice, don't you think so! [ makes an okay sign and wink　☆ ]

[bake_einsamcake]

Two or three times as expensive?! But my economy--!

[eyetwitches slightly at Korea's hand on his shoulder]

Well, if that's what she expects of me I... I'll see what I can do.

[plans on visiting a rag fair]

[anyongsoo]

Oh come on~ Germany-ssi. [ pat pat pat ]

It's only for one day! Look, there's 365 days in a year, so let's count out weekends and there should be at least 260 days to work. If you take out your public holidays it wouldn't be much a loss either considering there's still about two-thirds of the year to earn back that little few hundred you spend on one day! Surely you're not as petty as that, hmm?

[bake_einsamcake]

[quickly goes along with the calculus]

Hmm... well, if you look at it from this angle I guess I'll be able to justify the investment. Is there anything else I should, um, know about White Day?

[doesn't want to make any mistakes]

[anyongsoo]

There's only one thing.

[ slaps your tense shoulders down ]

Relax! Dress up! Gel up your hair! Buy some roses! Treat her to a candlelight dinner! Book a room! Have sex.

Buy condoms first though.

[whips out his pen and notebook; hurriedly writes everything down (apart from "gel your hair"; that's a given)]

Roses, candlelight dinner, a room--

Uh.

[anyongsoo]

[ watches your face change and lowers to a hushed tone ]

Is she the... shy type?

[bake_einsamcake]

I... I think that maybe we'll have to make some, um, adjustments to our White Day so it will be better suited to our comfort, but otherwise thank you for your tips!

[pockets his utensils]

...

I figure I should be getting her a piece of jewelry now... you don't happen to sell these, do you?

[anyongsoo]

That, Germany-ssi, I cannot help you.

You must embark on your own quest to find the one true ring, the one true ring, to win her heart.

[ reaches into his jacket to pull out a rolled up jewelry catalog ]

You may have my catalog.

[bake_einsamcake]

[listens and nods with a very serious expression]

I will do my best. I will find the one true ring!

[takes the catalogue and puts it into his briefcase]

Thanks. I wish you a good sales day!

[anyongsoo]

May peace luck and romance be with you, Germany-ssi!

[ bows and pushes his cart off ]

[ thank goodness I didn't give Hyung-nim's gift to him... ]

[bake_einsamcake]

[leaves in deep concentration, determined to put any effort required into his search for the perfect ring]
