Rumour Mill: NATSUME and Sasahara Souhei heading for divorce!
Posted on 20x9, 5th December
Though model NATSUME and baseball player Sasahara Souhei have never officially went public, word has been going round that the power couple are headed for splitsville. According to a source, the couple have drifted apart due to their busy careers. If that isn't enough, NATSUME is also rumoured to be cheating on her husband with famed photographer Mitsumoto Satoshi.
NATSUME and Sasahara Souhei are widely known to be fiercely protective of their private lives, and are famous among the entertainment circles for their cat-and-mouse games with the media. They are said to have gotten married in August 20x1, and have twin children together in 20x6.
Ironically, Sasahara had been implicated in a cheating scandal in the past, which ultimately revealed the identity of his previously-unknown wife.
Real Time
*looooooooooooooooooooooooong, piercing scream*
"Natsume? What's wrong?!"
"No! Don't come in! I need time to process this!"
"If it's about those pesky rumours, you have nothing to be worried about. Mizutani's already preparing the lawsuit against that bastard and—"
"I'm not worried about that!"
"Then what's wrong? Open the door, Natsume."
"Mama! Open door!"
"Mama! Open door!"
"See? Even the boys are worried."
*door opens*
"Mama!"
"Mama!"
"Hmph! I am sooooooooooo mad at you right now!"
"Wha—"
"I'm sorry, my darling teddy-bears. Mama's not angry with you. Come on, boys. Let's go downstairs for some pudding!"
"Wait! Natsume! What does this mean?!"
"Papa urusai!"
"Papa usai!"
"Papa usai!"
A/N: Hi. It's been a looooooooooong while. I'm embarrassed. That one episode from the final season of HIMYM (I hate the ending, by the way) kinda inspired this prompt. I was stuck with how I was gonna portray both their media and private lives. So here you are.
On a side note, I never liked it too much whenever the media announces these ugly rumours and unhappy news.
So… "What does this mean?"
