Dong-Dong has grown used to playing marbles alone after the other children stop inviting him into their games. One day he buys a bag of colorful candies instead, and the first sweet brings an impossible surprise: his old sofa begins talking to him.

The voice lasts only until the candy melts, but the remaining sweets open new conversations with people, animals, and objects he never imagined had anything to say. With every voice he hears, the boy who insisted that being alone was fine begins to understand the feelings others could not express, and perhaps his own feelings as well.
