If you look at your Graphics object

In[7]:= Ticks /. AbsoluteOptions[kk]
Out[7]= {{}, {}}


you see there are no Ticks, yet FrameTicks. They are there at all four sides, yet being different! Compare bottom and top:

In[9]:= Short[(FrameTicks /. AbsoluteOptions[kk, FrameTicks])[[1]], 5]
Out[9]//Short=
{{0., 0., {0.00625, 0.}, {GrayLevel[0.], 
      AbsoluteThickness[0.25]}}, \[LeftSkeleton]19\[RightSkeleton], {1.9, 
    "", {0.00375, 0.}, {GrayLevel[0.], AbsoluteThickness[0.125]}}}

In[10]:= Short[(FrameTicks /. AbsoluteOptions[kk, FrameTicks])[[3]], 5]
Out[10]//Short=
{{0., "", {0.00625, 0.}, {GrayLevel[0.], 
      AbsoluteThickness[0.25]}}, \[LeftSkeleton]19\[RightSkeleton], {1.9, 
    "", {0.00375, 0.}, {GrayLevel[0.], AbsoluteThickness[0.125]}}}

You see there are ticks, yet no tick labels at top!
(Similar for left and right.)


If you want tick labels at each side do e.g.:

Show[kk, FrameTicks -> (FrameTicks /. AbsoluteOptions[kk])[[{1, 2, 1, 2}]], 
    Frame -> True];
