"Let's start with dinner now since we've just had appetizers, right judges?" The judges smiled and nodded. Ha Joon and I gave each other a high five, "we can do this!" He motivated us "right!"
I took out the best and Ha Joon started making the juice to give the meat even more flavor. After I took out the meat I took out the vegetables.
"What will we be making?" Hana asked "you pick. I don't really care about the competition" he picked at an apple "you don't care?" he stayed quiet and kept looking at us.
"Oh you shouldn't brew the juice that Hugh, you should go lower or it'll burn" I stated helping Ha Joon. "Do you know how to cook?" Ha Joon asked "yes, somewhat" I smiled "how'd you learn?" "Well..."
Seung Ho. He helped me in cooking when I struggled. It was scary since he was always getting mad when I did an errors
"Just someone I know taught me!" "Well I'm glad they showed you" Ha Joon returned the smile, and we continue on working on our dish. I started peeling the potatoes.
"Like this Ha Joon?" "Yes!" We were doing really well, I glanced at the other contestants but Seung Ho caught my eye, he was making rice, and I noticed Hana was making teriyaki. I sighed.
After some time of hard work cooking, "times up!" The host yelled, we were done with our dishes. We stepped away from our kitchen counters and stood in front of the judges with our partners holding the dish.
They went through every dish. "Team 2, plesse share your dish" Ha Joon walked up to the judges and put the meal on the table
It was steak, with chopped peeled potatoes on the side, and there was juice on the bottom of the steak that gave the steak and potatoes more flavor to it. 
Ha Joon walked beside me, he grabbed my hand tightly. He looked nervous, I rubbed his hand a little comforting him. Seung Ho noticed our hands and scoffed. 
"What's wrong?" Hana asked "nothing" he said cold.
The judges tried our dish, their eyes widened. "This is delicious!" The women said "it melt right into my mouth. The steak and potatoes are a great combination" "the juice on the boredom is amazing! Not a lot of people brew the juice well, either comes out too cold or burnt. But you've done well!" Another judge smiled at us. 
"Team 1," Hana brought their dish up and went back to her place with Seung Ho. "Don't worry, I'll make sure we win" Hana smiled at him "what...?" Seung Ho was confused.
"High expectations from the youngest son of the Park family and the only daughter of the Kang family" the judges smiled at them. Seung Jo was creeped out by it, they tasted their dish.
"Their dish seems so well done and amazing" i whispered to Ha Joon "mhm. I won't lie about that. Besides Hana is always amazing chef at hee age" I flinched.
Amazing chef..?
I glanced at Hana, she was smirking at me. I looked away annoyed.
The judges were whispering to one another. And once they were done they whispered to Jae Suk.
"If you hear your team step; team 5, team 2, team 1" we stepped up. "You teams... are going to the next and final challenge. The rest of are disqualified" I heard groans and sobs as they walked out.
"The rest of you take a break and come back in 15" "I'll be right back" Ha Joon walked away. I was about to walk away until someone popped up in front of me, Hana.
"The hell, you scared me" she stood there "what do you want?" I asked "I hope you do know I'll do whatever it takes to win" "alright? So will we" "no. You don't understand, we're going to win. Il do whatever it takes to see my Seung Ho beat your Ha Joon" I looked uncomfortable at her.
