@fiveteeth kisses willow in a rush of adrenaline and/or out of anger.
Willow is never purposefully cruel. Even now, in her coldest state, she finds no joy in torturing somebody like Jongwoo -- but she does find a little amusement in his anger. They do not know each other well. For some reason he doesn't find her completely off-putting even as she forgets how to pretend to be herself. They walk from bar to bar, never enjoying a place enough to settle down for more than one drink, and sweat out the booze in the humid night air.
Prattling on about life, Willow asks seemingly innocent questions, toying with a nerve she only knows to toy with because she's in his head. Where did you move from? Why do you keep looking over your shoulder? No one's there, you know. She doesn't mean to be cruel. She's just curious. She's just heavy-handed about it. Drunk, too. Doesn't help her cause.
When he finally snaps at her, enough! Willow backs up. His temper spikes - which smells delicious - and satisfies her itch to know him better. A man's anger can tell you a lot about him.
"Fine -- fine, whatever. What ever. I'm going. I'm going home. You're mean." Willow steps backwards off curb and straight into the path of a car speeding at her. She's lit up by the headlights, car horn honking as the driver makes no attempt to swerve, Willow thinks: Huh. This is going to hurt. And then Jongwoo pulls her out of the way.
He pulls her with enough force to topple them, but he's sturdy enough that they don't fall. Instead, they just stumble a bit. She feels his hands grip both of her shoulders and the back of her head hit the nearby brick wall.
He's shouting at her. Something about not looking where she's going. How could she be so careless. Something. What she hears is birdsong. The giddy skip of her heartbeat.
Jongwoo kisses her, furious. The brutal collision of their lips causes a cut on the inside of his lower lip. His anger tastes like hot honey. Willow is struggling to keep up with all this. She laughs into his mouth, pulls him closer, and kisses him back.
