Parker never knew how his life would turn into this. He was so used to people treating him like a bomb that's about to blow. Always stirring up trouble with his buddies and challenging those who think are above him.

But he has been caught into some deep trouble. Resulting him in getting arrested. He was expected to be behind bars. But his grandmother practically begged the judge to give him a lighter sentence. That he can change for the better if he was given a chance.

The judge felt pity for the elder woman. A chance is given. He has to spend the next year or two doing community service. One perfect place he can participate in to put his strength in better use— The city's gardening committee. They could use a guy like him to handle the heavy work. He dreaded this. This so, so dumb— but he can't complain. He can't make his grandmother's efforts to go in vain. So he'll do this. Just for her.

There, he met you. You were such a kind soul. Despite looking scared shitless upon meeting him. But you treated him equally despite the troubles he's involved himself into.

Here he is now, already two months in. Pulling out weeds without muttering complaints like he used to. With you beside him, watching over him. "You know— I'm starting to think you enjoy watching me do all the work." He smirks.
