Yonghwa returned to his seat as fast as he could when he realized the competition has resumed. He sucked his breath when Joo Hyun emerges, looking so innocently beautiful in her gown.
Joo Hyun took a deep breath before she walked outside the lime light; her eyes flew to where Yonghwa and Shin Hye were seated and saw her arm clinging to him. She scanned the crowd for Chanyeol and found him at the far end opposite to where Yonghwa was.
Chanyeol saw her looking for him so he waived vigorously and when he was positive he saw him he make a fist and said “AJJA AJJA FIGHTING!” he gave her a toothy smile
Her walk screamed elegance, she paused at the designated spot as needed, hands on her hips, showing off how good she looked in her gown; her skin glowed in contrast to her white tube gown, showing her curves in all the right places.
“SEO JOO HYUN MIANHE! SARANGHAEYO!” someone in the crowd yelled not able to hold in the admiration inside which made everyone chuckled.
Yonghwa was startled at the sudden revelation, he looked back for the one who just yelled and was shocked to see Jisuk. “He has the nerve!” he murmured and scoffed
Joo Hyun saw and heard what Jisuk said and flashed him her heart melting smile, glad to have gained her classmate’s approval. She again looked at Chanyeol that gave her the heart sign which made her grin even more.
“Why is she giving them that kind of smile? When she already has given me a kiss?” he thought annoyed
“Omo oppa, Jisuk also like Joo Hyun. Too bad she has Chanyeol now.” Shin Hye said clinging even more
He looked at her and just like an echo it kept repeating inside his head “Forget you quickly.” His eyes flew to Joo Hyun who is staring at Chanyeol at the moment.

All the ladies are back on stage and was serenaded by a young singer Lee Jong Hyun, his beautiful features and his voice make all the girls present swoon.
He is now giving a rose to Joo Hyun and sang to her longer than the other girls. He even gave her a wink before he left the stage.

The most dreaded part of the competition has come, the Q and A.
Each girl before her has answered the questions in their own way and her time has come. She took the front stage and greeted everyone.
“Omo Yipouda!” the emcee said
“Oh, kamsahamnida!” she bowed and smiled
“What is your favorite color Seo Joo Hyun-ssi?” the emcee asked
“I like almost all of the colors but my favourites are blue and red.” She smiled and answered
“What if you have to choose between the two which would you choose? And why?”
“Uhmn, it’s really hard for me to choose between the two, but for now I’d choose blue.” She answered “blue is the color of the sky and the ocean, it means serenity, peace. And that is what I needed now.”
“Oohh so you’re in a chaos now?” the emcee joked
Joo Hyun smiled tenderly “Sort of.” She answered and chuckled covering her mouth as she does
“Okay let’s go to the question proper.” The emcee paused for added drama “If you are to describe the color blue or red to a blind person, how will you do it?”
Joo Hyun paused to think and construct her sentences before she answered
“If the person has been blind all of their life, explaining color to them would be impossible. How can anyone have a conception of what color even means, if they never had the experience of seeing anything except darkness. But blind persons are more sensitive to emotions or tactile responses than those who can see so I would explain it that way.” she paused and looked at the judges one by one before her eyes flew to Yonghwa
“I can best describe RED as a color of passion, anger or heartbreak or just simply hurt either physically or emotionally.” She then shifted her gaze to Chanyeol “I would describe blue as calm, peace, satiation and happiness” she looked at the emcee “That’s all.” The audience clapped vigorously as she handed the mic back to the emcee
“Very well said!” the emcee said excitement evident in his voice which made the audience glad and started chanting “Seo Joo Hyun! Seo Joo Hyun! Seo Joo Hyun!”
She returned to her spot and waived to the audience while smiling wide
Yonghwa didn’t realize he was holding his breath while Joo Hyun was answering the questions and stared at him. Not until she shifted her gaze to Chanyeol. “Did she mean I was red and Chanyeol was blue?” he thought his brows creased

There was another intermission numbers before the announcement of the result. Then all the contestants are called back on stage.

“We are going to announce the minor awards first” the emcee started “The best in production number is… Contestant number 1 Maquez Park-ssi!” there was a round of applause
“The ones who will give the award is Bezzie_b-ssi and Breeranisar-ssi” both then went on stage to give the award then took some pictures
“The next minor award is the best in talent… and it goes to… Seo Joo Hyun-ssi!” the audience stood and applauded “The award will be given by Bezzie_b-ssi and Xxgina_nguyenxx-ssi!” both smiled at the camera after they gave it to her
“The best in gown goes to…. Seo Joo Hyun-ssi!” the emcee yelled her name again “Joy_lovkpop-ssi and Sy5280-ssi please do the honors.” The emcee said while Joo Hyun took the center stage
“Our Miss Congeniality went to Soshi5 Kim-ssi!” the emcee called her name "Pair947-ssi and YmaYma will give the award" she continued
“Our last minor award is Miss Photogenic! And it goes to… Seolady2806 Choi-ssi!” the emcee roared as the ladies that were assigned for the award giving stood
“And now, for our major awards! Drum rolls please.” The emcee paused “for our 2nd runner up…!!”
