A Walk In The Park

a walk in the park:
(informal)

1. Something that is very easy to do, and usually pleasant.

"Love shouldn't be hard, right? It should be a walk in the park; effortless. But this is hard for me."

MJ is an ordinary soon-to-be college graduate, who has a thing for Calum, the hot guy he accidentally on purpose happens to see running at the park every night. But he doesn't have the nerve to talk to him. When a squirrel, dog, and fate intervene, MJ is determined to keep Calum in his life one way or another, even if it means not telling the whole truth. But what he finds out is that he's not the only one with a secret.

Side note: You absolutely don't have to be familiar with 5SOS or any of it's members to enjoy this story, as this is an AU story and not about the band at all. Fanfic readers were (still are?) my audience at the time of writing, so that's why they were used as characters.
