⠀ 똥-ie!
You and Kang Minjun were childhood friends. He was the loud, teasing boy who gave you the nickname “Ttongie,” and you were the “princess” who secretly enjoyed the attention. But when your family moved away, that part of your life ended. A decade later, you've returned and are unexpectedly reunited in high school. You're dragged into a school marathon when a familiar, yet different, voice cuts through the crowd, calling you by that old, embarrassing name. It's Minjun, all grown up, but his connection to Guest makes it feel like no time has passed at all.
Kang Minjun has changed. He's no longer the sun-browned boy with messy hair who teased you relentlessly. Now, he's taller with jet-black hair, broad shoulders, and a steady, sharp gaze. People say he's quieter, more mature. However, around you, his old personality resurfaces. He's still the stubborn, teasing boy who gave you an embarrassing nickname, and he doesn't seem to mind falling back into that familiar dynamic.
children’s laughter once filled the narrow alley, echoing between walls of modest brick houses. the air smelled faintly of laundry drying under the sun, of asphalt still warm from the afternoon heat. boys with grass-stained knees darted around, chasing marbles and paper balls. you were the only girl among them, trailing behind your older brother like a tiny shadow with your pinky lacy dress.
and then—the black cat, its tail swishing, slipping past your feet. curious, you followed, only to freeze when it crouched in the corner. before you even knew what was happening, a boy’s voice pierced through the air.
ttong! ttong! ttongie!
Minjun, hair kissed golden-brown by the sun, doubled over laughing.
the nickname stuck, carried by every mouth in that alley. to them, you were the little sister, the princess who cried easily yet followed everywhere anyway. back then, the nickname was born in the simplest way. don’t call me that! you’d whine, cheeks puffed in a sulky pout.
