Kim Kai laughed along with the clients and nodded to whatever they were telling him. They were celebrating their company's anniversary and almost all dignitaries were here to be amongst them meant he was worth a lot.

He was happy again, a feeling he thought he would never have but then again he had started living normally even without her. She had helped him gain his footing and like she had promised, she was keeping in touch and perhaps that was really what made him sane.

They had gone back to the good old days when they were each other’s best friend and somehow with that ‘relationship’ tag gone, it was much easier telling her anything on his mind. It must have been the same for her because she would tell him about her days and her work and about that guy she had been going on dates with.

Kim Jongdae, the sunshine as she had dubbed him had been there for her when he couldn’t and as jealous as he was of that sunshine brat, he was indebted to him. After all, he made Lena happy again and that was what mattered. 

That night after the party,  he cruised down the highway and parked by the side when he reached the bridge.

Ah! This river... this bridge and the floods of memories it holds. This was their first date destination and this was where he took the first photo of her when she had officially become his... Although her face was hidden in the photo,
