CHAPTER ONE

ZOE’S POV:

Sophie’s alarm clock is blaring yet again after the third time she had snoozed it this morning. I can hear it in my bedroom… across the freaking hallway. I pad into her room,

“Soph.” No response. “Soph!” I whisper-yell. “Sophie!!!” She jolts up, ripping her eye mask off.

“I’m up. I’m up.”

“I’m leaving in 20 minutes for class, I won’t be home until at least 11 tonight, I told Liv I would have dinner and a wine night at her place.”

“I’m probably sleeping at Aaron’s tonight so…” I raise an eyebrow at her. Aaron is this new guy she met over Bumble and the two of them have been seeing each other every day since their first date 3 weeks ago.

“Alright well have fun and try not to do anything dumb”

“You know I always do” I laugh and shut her door, walking to my vanity to quickly put on some makeup and grab my stuff.

I’m about a quarter way through my senior year at NYU, and about a quarter away from an existential crisis. I’m not sure what I want to do with my life yet. Basically every single one of my friends have boyfriends and they talk about marriage and babies and all that shit. And it’s cute. But I’m fine on my own. My last boyfriend Peter always had me feeling suffocated. The constant “Babe” and “Baby”. The obligation of having to FaceTime someone all the time. Having to be around someone every minute of every day. I was exhausted all the time. Currently, I’m an international business major with a minor in accounting. Taking a full course load, and working a part time job in an accounting firm on top of that. I don’t exactly have time for anything else.

I check the time and see that I’m running 5 minutes late. I slip on mom jeans, a giant t-shirt I stole from my dad years ago and run out the door. The walk to school is always my favorite part of the day. The West Village was my dream neighborhood to live in and once I saved up enough money from working throughout school, I finally was able to rent a tiny two bedroom apartment. I mindlessly scroll through social media as I speed walk to “campus”, it’s really just a few buildings in the city, there’s no open space or anything. Unless you count Washington Square Park. I pass the West 4th street subway station and my phone fumbles out of my hand as a result of someone walking straight into me.

“Fuck. fuck fuck fuck.” I say grabbing my phone and seeing the screen cracked. This is not exactly what I need at this moment.

“I am so sorry” I hear a voice above me, “I’m not from here, which I guess you can tell. Uh, I’m a little lost. I think? I’m not sure where I’m going or what uptown and downtown mean on the subways. Sorry, I’m rambling. Oh my god!” He sees my phone. “I’m so sorry. Shit. I can get you a new one.”

“Ok chill for a sec dude” I stand up brushing my hair out of my eyes. “At least buy a girl coffee before you offer up a phone.”

“Oh you’re not mad. I thought most people who live here have a stick up their ass all the time” He says, and I finally look up at his face. Those eyes, those fucking eyes. My breath catches in my throat as I realize I’m staring at him. Something about him looks or feels familiar but I can’t place my finger on it.

“Uh yeah most people are like that.”

“So are you not from here?” He asks “Cause ya know, you’re nice and stuff.”

“Oh no I live here. I go to NYU, I’m actually on my way there now.” I look at my phone to check the time but I can barely see due to the cracked screen.

“Uh it’s 9:0-”

“Oh you’ve got to be kidding me” I groan loudly, class started at 9.

“Late for class…?” he asks cautiously, not sure if he’s going to make it worse or not.

“Yes. I have to go, like right now.” I say starting to turn to walk away.

“Wait. Let me buy you that coffee so we can discuss the phone thing. Today isn’t great for me, how does tomorrow sound?” I nod and he hands me his phone. “Put in your number.” I quickly type in my information and hand him back the phone. “Well Zoe,” He says looking down at my contact, “I hope to see you later.”

“You too, I didn’t catch your name though.”

“Rudy. Rudy Pankow.”

“Well Rudy,” I look at him, flashing a small smirk “I’ll be looking forward to your text.” I turn and walk away as fast as I can. Of all the things that make me anxious, being late to class is pretty high up on the list. But I think the idea of meeting Rudy for coffee is consuming my mind more than the fact that I’m late is. I slip into the back of the lecture hall about 15 minutes late, luckily not drawing any attention to myself. I take out my notebook and try to take notes, but my mind is elsewhere.

RUDY’S POV:

I don’t know where the hell I am right now. Chase was completely wrong when he said the New York subway system would be easy to figure out. I have to go film a few interviews for Buzzfeed about season two and I’m lost. Totally lost.

“West 4th street-Washington Square” The crackle comes over the speaker.

“Fuck it” I mumble and get off. I can just take an Uber, so much for trying to get the whole experience. I walk up the stairs trying to order an Uber, getting more and more frustrated by the minute. All of a sudden I slam into what I can only hope is another tourist, the last thing I need is someone yelling at me for looking at my phone.

“Fuck. fuck fuck fuck.” I hear a voice from next to me mutter.

“I am so sorry” Fuck. She’s beautiful, and I’m just straight up dumb. “I’m not from here, which I guess you can tell. Uh, I’m a little lost. I think? I’m not sure where I’m going or what uptown and downtown mean on the subways. Sorry, I’m rambling.” For fucks sake Rudy shut the fuck up. I look to her hand and see that I shattered her entire phone and my stomach drops. “Oh my god! I’m so sorry. Shit. I can get you a new one.” Yes good job. Just offer up an entirely new phone, that’ll help. I mentally smack my forehead.

“Ok chill for a sec dude” She stands up, locking her eyes with mine. My eyes can’t decide where to look. Her eyes? her lips? She’s stunning. “At least buy a girl coffee before you offer up a phone.” My face turns bright red. I’m a fucking idiot. She’s running late and I decide to just shoot my shot. I shove my phone at her offering up coffee. A smile breaks onto my face when she takes it and types in her contact info. Zoe.

“Well Rudy, I’ll be looking forward to your text” She smirks at me. God dammit I have never seen anything like her before. She spins on her heel and rushes away. I slide into the nearest taxi, not getting the chance to order an Uber. What the hell just happened?

ZOE’S POV:

I can’t get him off my mind. This isn’t like me at all. Usually I turn random men on the street down, I mean who doesn’t? What if this guy is a serial killer. God Zoe what did you do. Ok but he seems nice enough right? Ugh. I stare at my glass of wine, mind wandering.

“Earth to Zoe” Liv waves her hand in front of my face. I blink and look up.

“Sorry I’m exhausted. Too many unhappy clients today.”

“Uh huh sure.” She rolls her eyes and my friend Katie laughs next to her.

“What?!” I say, a little too defensively.

“Who’s the guy? You only ever act like this, all out of it and daydreamy when there’s a guy”

“There’s no gu-” I get cut off.

“Oh don’t even try. Who is he.” Katie slides next to me and pours more wine in my glass.

“It’s really no one. I met him on the street, he sort of smashed my phone. Well I guess I did. When he ran into me. And then he offered to buy me a new phone just like that. I was like well at least buy me a coffee first, you know, jokingly. But then he actually made a date for tomorrow to get coffee. He said he’d text me, but it’s been hours so I doubt it’ll actually happen. Probably is just being nice.” I mumble the last sentence.

“A guy on the street?” Liv raises her voice.

“Are you crazy?” Katie says, setting her wine glass down a little too hard.

“I know I know. But something about him just felt familiar. Like I had seen him before or something. He seems our age, he had these insane blue eyes. I couldn’t stop staring.” I look down at the table. “I probably won’t even go, it’s a dumb idea.”

“Dude, you’ll find someone. I promise. It just takes time” I look over to Liv.

“That’s the thing though. I don’t even want someone, I’m fine on my own right now. If I started seeing a guy, I wouldn’t have time for him, the two of you, work and school. I would literally have a mental breakdown.” I laugh. Part of me knows I’m lying. I don’t want a boyfriend, that part is true. But if that boyfriend was Rudy, I would have to reconsider. That’s crazy right? I’m definitely going crazy. I don’t even know this guy.

“Ok well let’s get drunk and watch hot boys on TV. There’s a show Liv and I wanted to watch on Netflix called Outer Banks. Have you seen it yet?” Katie asks me as she goes to the couch.

“I don’t have the time for that.” I plop down next to her.

“So that’s a no” She grabs the remote.

“I’m so fucking excited. I keep seeing stuff about the show everywhere, season two is coming out next week.” Liv squeals. Katie starts the show and I start chugging my wine so I can get a new glass. I choke on my wine and spit it out all over the ivory rug.

“Zoe! What the Fuck?!” Liv yells, obviously pissed I just ruined her rug. But I can’t stop coughing. I look back to the TV to make sure I’m not seeing things. It’s him, I could never forget those eyes.

“That’s him” I choke out, “That’s the guy who I ran into today.”

“Rudy Pankow? The guy on the TV right now? Are you sure?” Katie looks at me.

“There’s no way.” Liv shakes her head.

“I’m dead serious. That’s the guy.” My phone vibrates from across the room and we all look at each other. I run over to look at it.

Meet me at Think Coffee in SoHo tomorrow at 3pm. Apple Store right next door ;) -Rudy

“No. Fucking. Way”

By the way, when this series is done, just to give you a heads up, I’ll be open to accepting request and I’m petty excited - don't ask why because I don’t know.

~ Nyx-bx is out!✌🏾

Introduction to Nyx-bx

Pairing: Jungkook x Reader (Ft. Taehyung)

Genre: Angst(??), University/College!Au

Word Count: 1459

Chapter: 5

Other Chapters: 1 2 3 4

Next Chapter: 6

Summery: Just when you thought you had life figured out. Just when you thought everything was working out in your favour. You had to fall for him. Everyone around you could see you were falling for this guy…literally. You didn’t want want to admit it. You felt if you admitted it, then it was true.

it had literally been 20 minutes into the study session and no-one had said a word. The only sound was from the music playing in the background, put on by Tae, who wanted to make the atmosphere a little less “tense”. The person you felt most sorry for was Brooke. When Jungkook invited her, he probably talked about the fun you guys were gonna have playing games and eat snacks, but here you are doing the complete opposite and the unexpected. Work is being produced.

There were times when you felt Jungkook stare at you but ignored it. There were also occasional glances between you and Tae, allowing you to communicate through facial expressions which, honestly, was not the best idea if you didn’t want to get caught, so you switched to texting.

Your fingers typed quick in frustration.

19:30 You: Well this isn’t awkward at all

19:30 You: I actually wanted to get to talk to him today but looks like that’s not gonna happen

19:30 You: You couldn’t tell me Brooke was going to make an appearance??

*Ping*

Your messages were sent one after the other causing Tae’s phone to go off with the notification sound. Everyone’s heads turned towards him. it had been the most interesting thing that had happened since the start of the session. You looked at him, mentally asking him ‘really?’. You saw Brooke put her head back down in her books so you thought you were discrete. But Jungkook noticed. In fact, he had been watching for a while. He didn’t know what he did to you, but he wanted things to go back to the way they were. You were now closer to Tae than him and it hurt him. it hurt him to think about what Brooke had said about you and Tae making a cute couple. It hurt him to think he was too late to have you.

19:31 You: Seriously Tae? The whole point of texting was to be discrete and not get noticed!

19:31 Tae: Oops, my bad XD It’s on silent now :))

19:32 Tae: But to answer your question, I was just as surprised as you were when I opened the door.

‘So he didn’t tell Tae either...’ you wondered

19:33 Tae: He said he invited her over earlier today

19:33 You: Oh I see...

19:37 Tae: You know you can still talk to him right?

19:37 Tae: Just ask to speak to him privately in the kitchen or something

19:40 You: You know I can’t. He clearly wants to spend as much time as possible with her.

“I’m thirsty”. You raised your head from your phone as you were brought back to the real world. Finally the silence was broken by Brooke. “Kookie, do you have any drinks?” Brooke asked. You looked at Tae with a confused look whilst Tae looked at the pair in front of you with a facial expression filled with questions.

‘Kookie. Seriously’ you thought to yourself, trying not to show a reaction. That nickname made you cringe but at the same time, it made you wonder if they were now an item. They’ve only known each other for like a month so it would e a surprise to you.

“Yeah. What are you feeling?” Jungkook said as he got up from his bed. “What do you have?” Brooke replied, following Jungkook out to the kitchen.

After they had left the room, Tae started to whisper about the scene that just played out. “Y/n, I suggest you make a move soon because this is not looking good” You didn’t know what to do to what to think. He saw the upset look on your face and he knew you were thinking about that just happened as well. Tae spoke again in a more comforting tone. “Trust me Y/n. Jungkook and Brooke are not a thing.” You looked at him with a confused look. “How do you know that?” “Jungkook told me” he immediately responded. “And when did he-” Tae cut you off. “Y/n, just shut up and listen okay? I’ll explain later!” he whisper-shouted. “I don’t know what Brooke’s intentions are in terms of her relationship with him, but if she really does like him, and she confesses, he might actually consider being with her.” You knew he was right. Although they might not be an item, Jungkook still told you he had feelings for her and you didn’t know Brooke’s feelings. As far as you knew, they could be mutual. Before you had the chance to reply to Tae, Jungkook and Brooke return to the room.

After sitting back down on his bed, Jungkook noticed how stiff you and Tae got when he walked back in. His jealousy got the better of him. He wanted to know what the deal was between you and Tae.

19:41 Jungkook: Y/n, can I ask you a question?

You looked at your phone thinking Tae had replied but it was a message from Jungkook. You had to admit, your heart skipped a beat but you were kinda nervous to open it. You looked up for a brief moment and saw Jungkook staring at you with anticipation. Quickly, looking back at your phone, you replied to his text.

19:41 You: Sure, what’s up??

You kept your cool as you texted him. You didn’t want him getting any more suspicions from you.

19:42 Jungkook: Are you and Tae, like...you know?

19:42 Jungkook: Like, are you dating and stuff?

You were shook. ‘Where would he get that idea from?’ you asked yourself. Although you weren’t expecting that type of question, it didn’t stop you from smiling at the text, knowing how awkward he must’ve felt to send it. He was always a little shy and nervous when it came to feelings and relationships. But, when you thought about it, he wasn’t shy or nervous when he told you about his feelings for Brooke. And because he seemed so certain, you thought you had no chance with him.

19:43 You: lol, what?

19:43 Jungkook: Don’t play dumb Y/n

19:43 Jungkook: Just answer the question!

He was getting annoyed. Even through text, you could tell he was getting angry and annoyed. But you only started getting annoyed yourself because you didn’t do anything for him to lash out at you.

19:44 You: Okay, first of all, chill tf out. I don’t know what’s wrong but don’t take it out on me!

19:44 You: Second of all, why do I need to explain my relationship with Tae to you? I don’t need to explain myself to you.

You looked up at Jungkook and saw that he was looking at his phone, assuming he’s reading your text. You saw his face turn from annoyed one, to a more saddened expression and regretted sending the texts. You felt a little guilty for the tone of voice used in your words but at the same time, you were not obligated to explain your relationship, with Tae, to him. Besides, it shouldn’t have mattered to him anyway.

19:45 Jungkook: You are one of my best friends Y/n so I would least expect to know if you guys are a thing or not!

19:45 Jungkook: I wouldn’t need to ask if you hadn’t distanced yourself and avoided me...

He knew. Of course he knew. How could he not tell that one of his closest friends is avoiding him. Because you were in full argument mode, you came up with other excuses for your guilty motives.

19:45 You: Me avoiding you?!?! You are the one who keeps running off with Brooke every time you see her!

You just wanted to leave. You wanted to go back to your dorm and get away form the current situation you were in. You started to pack your things into your backpack quite aggressively and got up from Tae’s bed in annoyance, catching the attention of everyone. Brooke was the one who spoke

“Are you leaving now?”. “Yes.” You tried your best trying not to show the annoyance in your voice. “Maybe I can go with you since we liv-” “No, that’s alright. You stay here. I’m sure Jungkook will love you walk you back” you cut her off. Brooke was surprised - she didn’t know if she did something to upset you. Tae was just as taken back as Brooke. But Jungkook held a facial expression that rhetorically asked ‘are you this petty?’.

“Tae. Come on” you said walking out the room. Tae hesitated for a second before grabbing his phone and walking out of the room with you. Within seconds, you had left their dorm.

As you were walking, you looked at your phone and saw a message from Jungkook.

19:52 Jungkook: So you’re together?...
