I really want to ask, has anyone here ever bumped into someone and accidently touched lips in a way that remotely feels like a kiss? Because that trope annoys me, it feels completely out of place outside of wacky comedy manga.
I think the only "accidental kiss" I've ever had happened when I was about to do the kiss on the cheek greeting thing in a hurry and the other person turned her face the wrong way, so we ended up brushing our lips. But it was so quick that we just pretended it didn't happen. That's something I've never seen in a story but I think it's a reasonable scenario (not in Japan, of course) that could work between two nervous characters.
