Hello theorizers! I'm extremely sorry for not updating for a year already (insane, utterly insane) but I fell into some state of depression as tons of things happened in my life at the same time. 

In conclusion, I'm back! I also finally finished reading the #2 Notes book, which I put on hold for a very long time. I read through many of my old theories, and while I do agree with most of them, some of them are a bit farfetched and left on a fledgling note. Spoiler warning for the next paragraphs if you're planning to read the book!

Long story short, in this timeline Seokjin confronted his father about the Map of the Soul. He had been getting horrible migranes beforehand, and he became depressed. He tried so hard to save his friends that his mental health was deteriorating, and he played through so many timelines that he was starting to lose memories. Not memories of time loops, but memories of the normal life he has before the loops began. It turns out, remembering his past memories made his headaches worse, so he stayed away from reminiscing. 

Bangtan understood that Seokjin was acting weird, and they helped him face his overbearing pain. He regained his memory back in the end, whilst exposing his father for his illegal government actions that are better explained in the "BTS STORYLINE SUMMARY + EXPLAINATION" video on YouTube. Seokjin exposed his father and found out he had a diary which he named "Map of the Soul", where he found out his dad had a friend who disappeared when he was in high school, and Seokjin's father chased after him. He was surprised as his father was always the strict and serious type who always chastised his son for being friends with so called "commoners". Seokjin's father lived with the same emotionless glint in his eyes that Seokjin gained after being stuck in the loop for such a long while. When Seokjin's father (Kim Changjoon) was put in jail, Seokjin saw a glint of hope in his eyes. It seemed like Changjoon found the map of his soul.

In this book specifically, Seokjin also came to the conclusion that the Map of the Soul is different for everybody, and is not a physical map but is what's found inside everyone in a unique way. It's not his father's diary, or any other artifact, it's himself.

Before exposing his father, Seokjin confronted his friends as an attempt to fix himself. He asked everyone to meet at the secret hideout they created as high schoolers (depicted in almost every BU related MV), where Seokjin's dad also hung around during his youth. When he was explaining, his friends saw a light shining through Changjoon's diary, and noticed Seokjin gaining a lively look in his eyes. Everyone fainted afterwards. 

Everyone was stunned when they woke up, but noticed Jungkook was gone. Throughout the book, Jungkook is depicted shooting Bangtan-like characters in his online game multiple times. He also shows distaste towards Seokjin and thinks of him as a spoiled rich child. He starts to believe that he can't trust his friends. 

In his game, he first kills Jimin and Hoseok. Then Namjoon, then Taehyung. He later goes to kill more, but Seokjin shoots him in the shoulder. Jungkook gets aggrivated and tries to kill him, but he was out of bullets and Yoongi pulled the trigger to shoot him twice. Jungkook gets angrier and kills Yoongi with a shot to the head after swapping his weapon. I wholeheartedly believe this could be a huge foreshadow, as we see Jungkook doing some heinous things in the Fake Love MV, and the ON MV.
