6) Suddenly, the music stops then begins again but returns as softer which indicates that BTS have finally released the main part of their grief. Now, they must get used to their new lives and shed any tears remaining. At (4:05) Jimin is back in the bathtub again – this indicates that the tears are longer too much to sit outside the tub. Also, the fact that he is drowning himself symbolises the suicidal emotions that he had before, however, now that the pain is ending, he feels nothing,  and he wants to feel something, hence he submerges himself amongst the tears once again only to reflect on the unnecessary torture he put himself through previously.  At (4:08) BTS  are on the verge of finding the light at the end of the tunnel and they are all running and encouraging each other to escape.  At (4:12) Jin opens the curtains and lets in all the light from the world which shows how happiness and light have finally arrived.  Then at (4:15) BTS are all enjoying their night near the fire together. This time, instead of fire being dangerous, it is used to display happiness as BTS are using it for warmth. We can also see this when Rap Monster slightly jumps back at (4:15) which indicates that he refuses to let the fire harm him; Jimin, V and J-Hope do the same straight after him. As they have not been harmed, their success is seen as Jungkook and Suga laugh together. Moreover, from (4:18 – 4:27), we see V attempting to murder the man as he repeatedly smashes the glass bottle into his stomach. Here, his wrath is liberated as the violence is intense. During this time, we also see flashes of BTS messing and joking around with each other, they are becoming happier and they are feeling the freedom as the abusive man/the girl that betrayed them is getting weaker and her hold on them is slipping away. At (4:28) Jin slips the last tear just before at (4:30), the man/girl is finally killed. Straight after this, the fireworks begin and BTS are celebrating.  They also go back to stereotypical ideas of fun for boys as they celebrate with a car; this clearly demonstrates how they are going back to a normal life now that the girl has been rid off. The smiles do not stop and finally they are content and jolly!

7) From (4:42) onwards, BTS begin to reflect on their previous acts and they also allow themselves to acknowledge that they have officially been set free and their rebellion against the girl and their emotions has become a success. Suga brings in an oil barrel, V lets go of the blooded glass in his hands, here he drops his previous alcoholic habits and also realises that he has finally killed the girl. Jungkook puts his hands up at the fire and says “wooaaah” as if mimicking the girls strength that she had used on BTS before to degrade them. Suga spills the oil all around the room to make sure that he can light up every part of the room; also, he stands in the middle of the bed to make sure that he is safe. J-Hope throws his pills in the fire very joyously as he knows he no longer needs them and he is rebelling against the girl. Then at (4:54), Rap Monster drops the lollipop, as it hits the money on the floor, it turns into a cigarette. His facial expression shows how he sees the lollipop as useless and tasteless. This is significant as I explained about the symbolic meaning of the lollipop before.  (He happens to be eating a lollipop which represents his childlike situation. When a child is in pain and sorrow, they become vulnerable and helpless; they don’t know what to do or how to solve it. They only know that they want to escape the pain. This is Rap Monsters intellect, he’s stuck with the pain. This further relates to later in the music video at (2:50 – 2:56) where the car leaves him yet the lollipop remains in his mouth. This symbolises how the girl left him yet he still has the lollipop in his mouth which leaves him glued to her. The lollipop also represents youth which is the concept of the album). Now that Rap Monster feels like this about the lollipop suggests that he has left his childlike intellect and he is no more glued to the girl. He can now taste the tastelessness of the lollipop and therefore discards it just like the relationship as he understands how flavourless it was. As it turns into a cigarette, this indicates that his child-like demeanour has now changed to an adult one instead as cigarettes are taken by adults. Also, cigarettes are harmful for the body and they are also addictive – just like the girl. Hence, due to the cigarette being thrown onto the floor, it shows that Rap Monster rejects it. Furthermore, since it falls onto Rap Monsters hard earned money, it demonstrates how this money came from working so hard at the petrol station and the car representing the girl that left him. Hence, this money is worthless as he was paid in a disrespectful manner; as a result, he even throws the cigarette/lollipop onto the money as he refuses to take this disrespect.  As soon as the cigarette hits the floor, Suga’s room ignites. At this point, he is destroying the room as it is filled with lies and all the memories of the girl. Also, as I mentioned before, Suga ignites his own fire and passion as what the girl provided him with was insufficient. He’s left in the middle of the fire where its dry – this symbolises how he has realised that he was only creating his own fires and rifts and making himself sad and isolating himself. He caused it, he has the power to set himself free, due to this, he now allows himself to forget about the girl by burning the memories, likewise, he recognises that he was left alone in the middle by the girl and as his revenge, he burns her memories down just as she burned him down.

8) conclusion: From (4:59) we see BTS looking back to the beginning of their journey when they were at the start of their pain release as Jimin is burning the note; V’s head is bleeding from the fight and he cries it out. J-Hope had fainted and is laying on the floor; Rap Monster is isolated at the petrol station. They look back on this to reflect on their progress and to exemplify their delight and freedom. Later at (5:07) Jungkook hops onto the barrier by himself. He is in the light and BTS have finally reached the end of the tunnel. It’s as if he is on the edge of life and death as he jogs on the barrier and we’re not sure which side of the barrier he will jump off onto next – onto the pathway, or into the ocean/lake to die? Will he allow himself the joy or will he fall back into misery? One second later, the rest of BTS run in which offers him the encouragement to be happy and alive. Then we see V and Jimin is anguish, here the pain is thought about then forgotten as BTS realise that they do not want to fall back into that hideous misery. After this we see Jungkook hop of the barrier and he runs along with the rest of BTS as he chooses to live! Through this scene, Jungkook represents all of BTS’ final actions. BTS carry on running together and enjoying their liberty. We then see a close up of V and Jin and their facial expressions say it all that their minds are finally care-free and at peace. Their expressions are innocent yet still look as if they have recovered from a huge traumatic experience – which is actually the case.  BTS stand at the edge of the water yet do not fall in, they remain there for enjoyment. This suggest that since they are now over the trauma, even being near this suicidal area does not threaten them as they now see the beauty of the ocean/lake rather than the dangers. Also, since they are enjoying it, it indicates that despite all the torment they had been through, in the end it was all a learning experience as they are now happy after finding the solution. They all jump around joyously as they wave at the birds that fly away taking BTS’ sorrows away with them.  In particular, Jin’s smiley face and jumping is most obvious as he was the suffocated one locked in a room but now he is like a bird set free. The end scenery is beautiful as they all stare at the clear atmosphere and the birds disappear. BTS can now start afresh and have reached their enlightenment. All’s well that ends well!
