He went to the gas station where Namjoon worked, but to his surprise Namjoon's colleague told him that Namjoon is in jail. Seokjin immediately visits the detention center and meets Namjoon. After hearing his friend's situation, Seokjin asked if their other friends were okay, but Seokjin learned the harsh truth that Jungkook and the Yoongi are dead, Hoseok is in a hospital after an accident, while he has no idea about Taehyung and Jimin. Seok-jin rebukes himself after visiting Namjoon saying, "If I had called Namjoon at that time, he would not be in jail." In front of the detention center, reporters were swarming and Seokjin witnessed them inquiring about a boy who murdered his father. He then finds out that it was his other friend, Taehyung.
