Not Related by Blood

Sora heard him walk away. When she couldn’t detect him anymore, she let out a long breath; One she had been keeping.
“Brother?! No offense, Sora, but your family is really messed up,” Aysen cracked his fingers.
“You don’t have to tell me; We’re not related by blood, though. After my accident my biological father adopted him, so he could have a male heir; But I always surpassed Seth, academically,” Sora explained.
“I need to teach that guy a lesson,” Aysen started to move forward.
“No, Aysen. Stay where you are; They’ll be payed back with their own medicine someday. Besides, it’s been like this between me and Seth ever since I can remember him,” Sora rested a calming hand on Aysen’s shoulder.

“Then what should I do?” he said.
“Nothing; Just ignore them—And keep your head hight,” Sora said.

“Keep your head high,” she repeated.
