WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?!?

so there are 2 guys (jake n hunter). they're friends on n off. a few days ago jake kept asking me if i still like hunter (who happens to be my ex-bf). finally said no n asked why he was sooo curious. he said he just wondered if i still liked him over the break. plus, over the break, hunter invited me to the mall with him. n i recently started liking jake. so, basically, my question is...WAS HE ASKING OUT OF HIS OWN CURIOUSITY OR FOR HUNTER'S BENEFIT?!?!
