Edited version

Today is Valentine’s Day. So happy Valentine’s Day! However, we have another day called White Day. It is a continuation of Valentine’s Day on March 14th, except roles are reversed (转换).

It is said that a king of Rome set up Valentine’s day in memory of a couple who had been condemned to death on February 14th because of a ban on their marriage.

One month later,the couple still loved each other until death was near. They were about to get put to death but the king decided to save them. And they died of a natural death many years later.

And now we celebrate there is the White Day in their honour. HAHAHAH,maybe that’s how the story is (= that’s where the story comes from)

an obligation = something you must do even if you don’t want to

I only celebrate Valentine’s Day out of social obligation.
