Original title
**Introduction** The queen of mystery dramas, Yumi Awaji (played by Chikage Hamada), is set to star in a special 500th episode production, marking a significant milestone in her career. A press conference was held at a Tokyo hotel to announce the project, where her manager, Ami Nakamura (Yumi Akaishi), and her assistant, Yuka Ishida (Mira Tanaka), a childhood friend of Nakamura and an aspiring screenwriter, looked on. However, the focus of the reporters' questions was not on the upcoming drama, but rather on the divorce rumors surrounding Yumi and her husband, director Hiroshi Awaji (Kintaro Omae). **Press Conference** The press conference began with the usual introductions and announcements about the 500th episode production. However, the atmosphere quickly shifted as reporters began to ask about the rumors surrounding Yumi and Hiroshi's marriage. "Is it true that you and Hiroshi are getting a divorce?" one reporter asked, to which Yumi responded with a polite smile, "I'm sorry, but I'd rather not discuss my personal life. Today, we're here to talk about the new drama." Another reporter pressed, "But your marriage has been a source of inspiration for many of your roles. Don't you think fans have a right to know what's going on?" Yumi's expression remained composed, but her eyes flashed with a hint of irritation. "My personal life and my work are two separate things. I'm sure everyone can understand that." Hiroshi, who had been quietly observing the exchange, stepped in to support his wife. "We appreciate everyone's interest in our personal lives, but we'd like to keep that separate from our work. Today is about celebrating Yumi's incredible career and the upcoming drama." **Manager's Support** Nakamura, sensing the tension, stepped forward to redirect the conversation. "I think what Hiroshi said is spot on. We're here to talk about Yumi's remarkable achievement and the exciting new project she's working on. Let's focus on that, shall we?" Yuka, standing beside Nakamura, nodded in agreement. She had always admired Yumi's professionalism and didn't want the press conference to be overshadowed by divorce rumors. She hoped that the reporters would respect Yumi's wishes and shift their focus back to the drama. **Conclusion** Despite the unwanted attention on her personal life, Yumi handled the press conference with grace and professionalism. She reminded everyone that her work should be the focus, not her marriage. As the press conference came to a close, it was clear that Yumi's dedication to her craft remained unwavering, and fans could look forward to her upcoming drama, marking a significant milestone in her career.
