We can see an 18-year-old male walking through the streets of Barcelona, Spain, during a hot summer afternoon, it's none other than Xavi Martin, our protagonist for this story who had a huge passion for music.

Xavi: Just another day at the office... 

He was walking through the streets of the city, returning home after a walk during a friday in late July, it was over 32 ºC at the time of the day.

However, just then, a portal opened and sucked him in.

FLAT of Kwangya.
17:35.

Sucked by the portal, he was taken towards the FLAT of Kwangya.

Xavi: Where... am I?

Xavi stood up and looked around his surroundings, before Naevis appeared.

Naevis: Welcome, welcome, Xavi... You've been selected to become the 5th Member of Aespa.

Xavi recognizes Naevis, getting surprised by what she said.

Xavi: Who thought i would be a member of one of my favorite K-pop groups?

He smiles and nods at Naevis.

Xavi: When do I start?

Naevis giggles.

Naevis: Now!

Naevis snaps her fingers in front of Xavi, with the Aespa girls appearing one by one, on their AE form.

Karina: Hey there! You're the new member?

Xavi nods.

Xavi: Yeah, that's me... My name is Xavi, Xavi Martin...

The girls smile and present themselves one by one.

Karina: Yu Ji-Min, call me Karina.

Giselle: Aeri Uchinaga, call me Giselle.

Winter: Kim Min-Jeong, call me Winter.

Ningning: Ning Yizhuo, call me Ningning.

Everyone except Naevis and Xavi: Nice to meet you!

Xavi smiles and shakes hands with each of the girls.

Xavi: It's an honor to meet you and be part of you... I've heard most of your songs, actually.

They seem surprised to hear that.

Giselle: You did?

The male nods honestly.

Winter: You must be quite of a fan then...

Xavi smiles.

Xavi: Pretty much... I actually didn't expect to see you in your AE forms, thought.

The girls giggle.

Ningning: You don't have an AE yet, right?

Xavi shakes his head.

Naevis: Then you're about to have one... Ready to become the 5th member?

Xavi nods determined.

Xavi: Ready!

Karina: That's the spirit.

Karina, Giselle, Winter, Ningning and Naevis take Xavi towards a part of the FLAT of Kwangya which contains a huge mirror wall.

He stands in front of the wall, nods, he puts his right hand in the mirror, getting his AE and performing a SYNK into it.

Incarnating into his AE form, he turns around at the girls.

Xavi: Wow...

They all smile at him while he looks at himself, with Karina and Winter giggling at him.

Naevis: You'll get used to it!

Xavi smiles back.

Xavi: Thank you.

Everyone except Xavi: No problem.

Karina, Giselle, Winter and Ningning walk towards the practice room, Xavi follows them from behind.

With the five members inside the practice room, they discuss about Xavi's upcoming debut.

Karina: Alright, now we have to plan your official debut, Xavi... Do you want to use a stage name or your first name?

Xavi: I was planning on using a stage name, actually... I know it's not related to my name but... What about Kenji?

The girls nod in agreement.

Giselle: Kenji it is then... Next, what's your role in music terms?

Xavi: It's quite of a mix... Since i can work either as a rapper, vocalist or dancer.

They smile.

Winter: Good to know... Then, which song are you going to perform during your debut?

Xavi: Well, that's quite of a hard choice, since i know a lot of languages and music...

Ningning: You do know a lot of languages?

The male nods.

Xavi: Yes, I do... My parents were both multilingual teachers.

Karina: You're multilingual then?

Xavi nods again.

Xavi: Yes, I am... Catalan and Spanish are my native ones, but I know fluent English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Arabian, Persian, Ukrainian, Russian and others.

Winter: Well that's a lot of languages.

Xavi laughs a bit.

Xavi: Anyway, i've got clear which song i'm going to perform.

The girls nod.

Giselle: Go ahead...

Xavi shows them the song through the music database they have in the practice room.

Xavi: It's called "Aprecia lo que tienes", by Spanish rapper Porta.

Karina: A Spanish rap song? Sounds interesting! And it's on your native language as well!

Xavi smiles.

Xavi: Also, the lyrics of this song also have quite of a meaning.

Ningning: Indeed.

Xavi: Yeah, it's about taking good care of the things you already have before they're gone.

They smile at Xavi, he smiles back.

Giselle: Alright, the main part is already done.

Karina: Next, we'd like to know a little bit more about you. Do you mind us asking some questions?

Xavi shakes his head.

Xavi: I don't mind at all! I'm all ears!

They giggle.

Karina: Good!

Karina: What date you were born?

Xavi: September 6th, 2004... I'm 18 years old, but i'll be turning 19 in less than month and a half ago.

Giselle: So, you're our youngest member now...

Xavi gets surprised.

Xavi: I am?

The girls giggle and nod at Xavi.

Ningning: I was the youngest before, however, you're two years younger than me...

He smiles.

Xavi: Oh, i see...

Back to the main topic.

Winter: Second and last question, What's your birthplace?

Xavi: I was born in Barcelona, which is Spain's second-largest city overall, and the largest coastal city they have.

They smile about Xavi's birthplace.

Karina: From Europe, huh? I wonder how Spain is... We've never been to an European country any of us.

Xavi smiles.

Xavi: Spain is possibly one of the best countries of Europe to visit since it's quite turistic and interesting, however, depends of which area you visit.

Karina: I see...

Back to the topic again.

Xavi: When is my debut going to take place?

Ningning: Tomorrow on Saturday, at 9 PM.

The male nods.

Xavi: Alright... I will practice in the meanwhile, okay?

The girls nod.

Xavi started to practice the song he had chosen for his debut along his choreo that same afternoon.
