Humans are weird, as are their instincts. Better late than even you realise it.

A few minutes ago I was in a situation where I thought I would see my end and I will lose myself, my life and my best friend. The silly thing is I always saw myself as a useless creature and thought of this life as a gift.

Sometimes, I even regretted it.

But now standing here, after trying my best to escape and yet failing. I am feeling like the luckiest person in the world and my words are already getting contradicted against my actions.

Just as my gaze collided with the man , I claimed to hate recently. I felt the most alive in my 22 years of life. Taehyung's eyes are giving me comfort, I can't elaborate.

Should I thank god for this? Absolutely yes. Even though I criticized my existence. Today made me feel what exactly feels like to die when there are genuinely people waiting for you out there. Even one or two.

My head hurts , my eyes are wet yet I could only feel my lips curling into a smile. A smile of peace and satisfaction.

Taehyung looks enraged , his body is rigid and he's glaring at the man who was approaching me with vengeful eyes but as soon as he lowered his gaze, his eyes softened and I finally saw the man , I was missing.

Without wasting any second , I hugged him like my life depended on it. I don't know anything right now except the thing that I didn't want him here but when I only wanted him , He came. He actually came.

Taehyung's arms closed my back and I finally heard his voice ," I'm sorry." Tears escaped my eyes at the sudden confession. I don't even know what he's apologizing for but I couldn't form any word.

Before I could ask him anything, the man behind me started to run off in the opposite direction bringing us out of our trance.

"Wait for me here." Taehyung said and held my face. I don't want him to go. I know he's strong enough to beat his ass but right now, I don't want him to go.

Taehyung started to go in the same direction but I held his arm stopping him."Don't go." I said , looking in his eyes. Urging him to not go.

Taehyung as soon as he heard my voice , stopped in his way and turned around to look at me. Then, bringing out his phone. He immediately texted someone.

When he was finally done , he approached me again. Now we were alone again, my eyes were getting blurry with every passing second yet now I knew I was safe.

Taehyung came forward and held my face. I could see him scanning every inch of my face until his eyes set on my forehead where , I was wounded earlier.

"Fuck. I'm so sorry." He said, caressing the wound softly. I didn't say anything but just kept looking at him. "It's.. it's my fault. I'm sorry. I will kill that bastard."
