The analyses of a text #4
The chain of flowers between Rinka, Miyuki and Satsuki become connected as secrets become revealed. Rinka lost her parents 13 years ago in an accident. Since then, she has lived with her grandmother. Her grandmother is then diagnosed with stomach cancer and becomes hospitalized. Making things worse for Rinka, the English institute where she works goes bankrupt. Paying for her grandmother’s surgery seems nearly impossible. Rinka then thinks of K. K sends a bouquet of flowers every year. Rinka thinks if she can find K, that person might help her. But who is K? Rinka asks her grandmother about K, but her grandmother doesn’t say anything. Rinka then sends a letter to K and, later, a man who identifies himself as K’s secretary appears in front of her. Rinka tries to find out K’s identity and why he keeps sending flowers.

Do you mean "Rinka then thinks of that K"? There is no reason to suppose that this is meant. "that K" is possible in the sense of something like "that person called K who was mentioned earlier", but if the author had wanted to say this then he or she would have done so.

It is not possible for "that" to be a conjunction there -- not after "think of".

Anyway, it seems unrelated to the previous sentence. "think of ~" is a normal and natural phrase.
