I kinda feel it too actually, in the early chapters said that he proposed to gisela out of impulse, so the same with him dating gisela right after the mc dated a stewardress on a flight. So it feels like, jei wants to proof that he's straight because the mc was doing so
I'm getting more and more vibes that ML is in the closet even inside his own darn mind... Like, at least, have some guts and come out to *yourself* already, man... Mr King of Mixed Signals. The mc should just be straight with him and force him to make a choice, if only to get rid of this emotional leech. (he needed to be slapped a couple of times or sth, to make him wake up of self-delusion limbo, make a darn choice, and stop clinging to the mc and weighing with his own indecision... darn emotional leech, I tell you)
