much like how many people call other people bro, fam, cuz, uncle, auntie, it's more a nickname or pet name than anything.
In PH we have the same situation where people w the same age (mostly gen z) call each other "nak" which can mean daughter or son, so js like a pet name
i dont get why top was calling bottom kid. like they’re supposed to be around the same age. idk this “they met in high school and bottom doesnt remember” feels like the author wanted to change the backstory mid way in. the story was fine without this backstory too
