 I feel like we’ve done a great job getting where we are now, and I think our new song marks a comma, not a period in our career.

 The video begins with Jungkook making a hand gesture as a reference to the band's Hwa Yang Yeon Hwa On Stage: Prologue video. The camera then zooms in through his fingers to reveal the seven band members seated in a barren desert, in the same order as seen in the 2014 "Just One Day" music video. Jin is seen in the truck he previously used in "Run"'s music video, facing the angel statue from "Blood Sweat & Tears." The old brown piano from Suga's "First Love" short film also makes an appearance. The blue container trailer that RM had passed in "Run" is now in front of him, and J-Hope is standing alongside the train from "Spring Day" on the dunes. BTS' first chapter ends where it began nine years ago, as the boys stand together in front of the bus. Where V covered Jin's eyes with his hands in the music video for "Blood Sweat & Tears," six years later, in "Yet to Come," Jin removes his hands to present to V the symbol of BTS' beginning — the yellow school bus from their very first music video, "No More Dream." They don dazzling white clothes that complement their happy looks instead of the dark and heavy makeup they wore nine years before. The septet is back on the bus, seated in the same configuration as in "Spring Day," and ready to head to their next destination, which has not yet been reached.
