Is behaving the same as ever for the best, though? Perhaps it's the only alternative seeing how they are childhood friends and Asuka regularly invades the dinner table at Kei's home, so it would be quite weird for them to suddenly not be friends anymore with such history. However, it will make it only more difficult for Asuka to accept that she was turned down. She can't start looking for a new man if she still sticks to Kei. Other guys would also misunderstand her relationship with Kei.
