Why doesn't triggering click() inside a click event listener cause an infinite loop?

Can someone explain the program flow of this JavaScript code:
const $leaveRoom = document.querySelector('#leave-button'); let a = 1; $leaveRoom.addEventListener('click', () => { console.log(a); console.log("check"); a++; $leaveRoom.click(); console.log(a); a++; });
<button id="leave-button">Leave Room</button>
The Output was: 1 check 2 check 3 4 This question may sound dumb but I am new to JavaScript. I am not able to understand the program flow of this code. I want to know how did I get 3 & 4 in the output.
