Why does my guy friend still like me even though I chased after another guy in front of him?

Why does my guy friend still like me even though I chased after another guy in front of him? I hang out with “Cody” and “Brady”, and a few other girls. When I first met Brady, he was lightly trying to hit on me. But I have a crush on Cody, and I quite literally chased after Cody to ask him if he liked me. But it didn’t go well. Brady saw all of this go down. He saw me chase after Cody like a dog. Later that day, Brady and I were hanging out with a few of our friends. He didn’t say anything about Cody. But he was trying to talk to me. He asked me why I’m so quiet, and what I like to do for fun. I thought he was just being nice at first, but now I suspect he likes me. Or at the very least, wants to hook up. I’m just wondering, why? Brady is your very stereotypical jock. Very macho and tbh, kind of a bully at times. So I’m wondering why he’d still want me even though I liked another guy? Especially since he did show interest in me, and I more or less turned him down.
