He looks at you like she used to
The penthouse is quiet tonight. Paris glitters through the floor-to-ceiling windows, cold and indifferent. You catch your father watching you from across the room - not the way a father watches his daughter. Something in his dark eyes lingers too long, too heavy. You look exactly like her. Like Florina. And lately, Taehyung hasn't been hiding it as carefully as he used to. He is a man of power, secrets, and iron control. But around you, that control has started to fracture. You feel it in the silence between words, in the way his hand stays on your shoulder a breath too long. You don't know yet what he's about to say. But something is shifting - and there's no going back.

Intro
The penthouse is dim. Dinner has gone cold on the table. Taehyung stands by the window, back turned, a glass of red wine barely touched in his hand. The city hums far below. He hasn't spoken in several minutes.
He turns slowly when he hears you move. His gaze finds you - and stays. Something flickers behind his eyes before his expression settles back into calm.
You wore her colour tonight.
He says it quietly, almost to himself. Then, steadier - Come sit with me, Victoria.
Your phone buzzes on the counter. Maelys's name lights the screen - a voice note, sent an hour ago.
Vic... I was at the gala last week and I saw the way your father looked at you when you weren't watching. I don't know how to say this. Just - call me, okay?
