Yes your coins are still safe and your wallet has the private key for 1Gv8BwKX9sLusY65DBiJbFL4wBffHPFuG4

A good indicator for this is if your balance is what it should be, as in -1 and not -1.25...

Which software are you using?


Edit:

The way bitcoin works is that you have to spend each input entirely. You can think of it as lumps of gold. In the past you got a 1.25 btc lump. If you want to spend parts of it, you have to melt the whole 1.25 btc and create new lumps. One with 1 btc for the other party and the rest .25 for yourself.
I rounded and ignored fees in this example in order to make it easier to understand.

TX fee is not paid that way. The fee is (sum of inputs) - (sum of outputs)

Its change, depending on the wallet/service you use its a newly generated address under your control or an old one.

then what happened to this transaction? if bitcoin in my wallet is still safe? I just have no idea.

Days ago I transferred 1BTC but there was another 0.25BTC transferred from my wallet to an address I do not know.

If there is any way to tell if the 0.25BTC is the transfer fee or not? It seems quite high.

The detail transaction can be seen from https://blockchain.info/tx/5ef62754afe629beb5ee724cffb10fd868403f675bdd214921314de498079303
