Weiss asking Neptune was probably as hurtful as it was because it wasn't just Weiss rejecting him. A girl you like saying no hurts, but it isn't something Jaune can't bounce back from. However seeing that same girl ask out someone else, let alone a guy she just met a little while ago, and that can seriously cut deep.
