I remember the last time this happened. Except it was just Bridgit-unnie, it was all of us. All of us were targetted. I don't know how, but somehow, each one of us got attacked, in some way, some less harmful than others. It was mostly hate mail, and hate messages left on our phones. But also, our food and drinks were spiked. Unluckily, I was the one that drank the drugged soda and passed out for a few hours, and thankfully it wasn't poisonous or anything.
But now. Why would someone do this? Was it an antifan of some sort? We weren't even back until a while ago! Was it Lori? She had been complaining about Bridgit-unnie stealing her Kyujong-oppa the entire time that she was getting kicked out of our dorm. Was it some obnoxious fan of SS501 that thought Bridgit was getting too close to SS501? But then we should all be targetted because we were all living together. I shook my head, I needed to stop thinking about this. The police would figure it out.
I looked up from my iPhone as I felt the car slowing. Glancing out the window, I saw another sea of white. It seemed that Bridgit's fans (called what?) had heard about the acident already. I jumped out of my seat and raced into the hospital. Just moments after we arrived, another van pulled up, dropping EunMi and Hana off too. EunMi ran up to me, and I grabbed her hand and squeezed. Why was it Bridgit? And not one of us?
I heard another slam, and the SS501 members came pouring out of another van. (Except for Kyujong, as he had been with us.) We all ran into the hospital, and headed towards the elevators. As the elevator made its way, painfully slowly, my heart started to beat erratically. What if she wasn't okay? What if the person had deliberately tried to hurt her? WHY WASN'T I THERE WITH HER?!
A loud shattering noise broke my quickly flowing stream of thoughts. Looking up, I saw that Kyujong had punched the wall of the elevator. He had tears in his eyes with what I could see in the reflection. Mei reached out with a trembling hand and placed it gently on top of his shaking hand.
The doors finally opened to the 5th floor. The hallways were clear thankfully, and we rushed into the room where Bridgit layed. It was too white. And she was hooked up on all sorts of machines, with wire poking out of her, and a gas-mask on her face. I couldn't take it! Why was it our precious leader who was attacked? Why wasn't it me? It should have been me! Why wasn't it?
Tears had started dripping down my face slowly, and there was no way to stop their path. I couldn't take the frenzied thoughts taking over my brain, so I ran into a desolate corner or the room and collapsed. Hugging my knees and burying my face into my arms, I continued crying. I could hear the other members falling onto their knees and sobbing as well. I could hear the SS501 members breaking out of their stupor and going to confort the Momo members.
All of a sudden, I felt a weight on top of my body, and arms around me. Looking up, I saw Jungmin. Tears streaming down my cheeks, I grasped his shirt in my fists and bawled into his chest. His warm embrace made the pain possible to bear. Although my tears were staining his shirt, neither of us seemed to care. Every emotion seemed lost in the moment.

Three days had passed. It seemed impossible for us to keep going, keep being Momo, keep our heads up and face the oncoming storm. Everything seemed to have stopped when we found out what had happened to Bridgit. We had to keep going to schedules, although everytime there was a break, we'd go to the hospital. It was torture, not being able to stay in the room with Bridgit, urging her to open her eyes and stop killing us. Our dorm began to fill up with presents for her, and get well cards. Some fans had even sent food! (We didn't need to go grocery shopping for a while.)
I laid on the floor in the dorm, staring at the ceiling while the lights danced on the ceiling. My schefules were over that day, and the only other person home was Jungmin. We weren't awkward anymore, and we talked a bit now and then. I still couldn't help but blush everytime I thought back to the hospital.
Picking up my phone to check the time, I heard footsteps approaching me.
"Why are you so weird?" The deep rich voice was familiar now, and I grinned up at the ceiling, smirking at the question.
"How am I weird, oppa?"
"I don't understand why you like the floor more than a couch or a bed." Jungmin squatted beside me and smiled at me, good-naturedly.
I pouted back at him. "Well, I don't know why you like carrots more than a good apple!" He laughed at that and I sat up.
"Why are you bothering me anyway?" I asked him, glancing once again at my phone.
"Hmm?" He pretended to think about it. "Maybe because... Mei-noona just called, and Bridgit has woken up."
I stared at him in shock. Bridgit has woken up. That sentence rang through my mind a few more times as I shrieked and jumped up to hug him, and my ankle protested. It had healed, but any abrupt movements caused it to act up again.
The door opened.
The others were home! I jumped up and ran towards the door, wincing as my ankle throbbed.
"Bridgit-unnie's awake!" I sing-songed, happier than I had been in the past few days. EunMi looked at me in shock, and tackled me. I giggled as we landed on the floor and started wrestling. We all had our good mood back, knowing Bridgit was okay.

I was on set, filming for a new drama. It had been torture the few days that Bridgit was in the hospital for me to act. I wasn't in a cheery enough mood, and I couldn't focus on my lines. But now that she was okay, everything was back to normal. In the drama, I was acting as a girl who pretended to be a guy. One of those typical love stories. It was fun! I loved the costumes, and the set, and the other actors. I loved being dressed up as a boy, bevause it was so different from wearing skirts and heels, which I was used to for our stage outfits.
Wearing baggy jeans, with a loose-fitting t-shirt, I ran my lines over in my head again, memorizing them for when I was needed again. I was called over to the set, and we started that day's filming.
After filming almost 5 scenes, we called it a day, and I got ready to go home after changing into my normal clothes (Jean shorts, worn-in black Chucks and a white Mickey Mouse t-shirt. All topped with dangly necklaces). As I left the set, a swarm of Momo fans came and handed me candy, cards, letters, and gifts. Smiling and signing autographs, I accepted a few of the things that they thrust at me; mostly letters.
I was ushered into the car, and as the door closed, I smiled and winked at the Lovelies that were so dedicated, that they waited on set until I was finished just so that they could hand me these gifts. I pulled out a bag of gummy candies that one of the fans had given me, and tested one carefully. (You never knew when an anti could strike! We all knew this from Bridgit's incident.) I grinned as the fruity flavour washed over my tastebuds. Mmm! I ate a few more then pulled out my phone.
I tweeted: "Thank you for whoever gave me these candies! They're delicious!" And I snapped a picture for good measure, and posted it. Leaning back against the carseat, I smiled to myself. Today was a good day. I couldn't wait to get home!
Entering the code to the house, I slowly opened the door and walked in. Taking off my shoes, I glanced around and saw Kyujong oppa standing eith his back facing me. I wondered what he was doing, but didn't question and put my bag onto the table.
"Kyu.. Someone's here.." I heard Bridgit's soft voice whisper. Eyes widening, I continued watching the two. It seemed they knew I was here, but they weren't caring? Or choosing to ignore that fact.
"Its okay.. We're not doing anything anyway.." I heard him reply. Not doing anything? It didn't seem like that. I slowly snuck away from the kitchen and creeped towards the living room.
Oh my god. Tell me that just happened! I squealed silently, and had a little moment. THEY KISSED! THEY JUST KISSED! Aaaaah! So cute! I had to keep myself from flailing my arms around. Omo!!!!!!! I threw my fist into the air as I spun in happiness!
I looked back at them as I finished my spin. Bridgit unnie glanced up, and our eyes met. Oh well, I was going to be found out sooner or later. It might as well be sooner I concluded, so I squealed.
"I was right!!!" My eyes widened as I saw her coming towards me. I shrieked amd ran away from her, and she chased me through all the rooms in the entire dorm, until I ran into the living room and collapsed ontop of me into a heap on the floor. We both burst out laughing, and laid together on the floor. Smiling together. It was definitely a good day today.
