Other Side Of The World (Taeil Block B) COMPLETE

Groaning, I scrambled to my feet, trying to free myself from the chair I was attached to. It wasn't working. They still had the gun to Taeil and I was being beaten. I had to do something. I just didn't know what. I was scared and felt alone. Suddenly, pain struck me again as I was kicked. Nero then pulled my to a standing position by my hair and proceeded to take the chair off of my swollen and broken body. He pulled me over to a bar and tied my wrists to it so I couldn't break free. So he thought. There was the knife that they used to harm us with laying on the counter. I grabbed it and began to hack at the tough rope from behind.
I was panicking by this point as they freed Tae from his chair and threw him to the floor. I began to work quicker...and quicker...and quicker, hacking at the rope around my wrists. They threw Tae to the floor, repeatedly beating him. The whole group of six criminals, like myself, beating the love of my life.
Finally, just in time I cut free. I cut into my wrists a little, but nothing mattered more to me right now than Taeil's safety. Just as they were about to throw a chair at Taeil I screamed and dived in the way. No one on this planet was going to hurt him. No one. I realised at that moment as I got struck with that chair my life was going to change. Maybe for the better. Maybe for the worst. Who knows? All I knew is that from this moment on I would have to stay close to Taeil as I couldn't have him get hurt.
All I remember at that moment is me laying in Taeil's arms, him shaking me rapidly. Trying to wake me from my daze. All of the gang stood there shocked at what I just did. I don't think they could believe that I just sacrificed myself for someone. I would sacrifice myself for Tae though. My love for him went that far and at the moment I realised staying away from him wasn't going to change this. I was going to stay by him forever.
Weakly, I pulled Tae into a gentle kiss, trying not to hurt him anymore than he already was. His lips tasted metallic as his lip had split and was bleeding, but I didn't care. I wanted him to know that we were going to protect each other from now on if he still wanted me.
