Do I (23F) need to tell my boyfriend (20M) about the situationship I had with my friend?

I (23F) have been dating my boyfriend (20M) for about 2 months and it’s been weighing on me if I should divulge that my friend (21M) and I haven’t always been just friends. For context I met this friend about 9 months ago and we started flirting pretty much straight away however while I was interested in a relationship with him it became clear after about a month that he was not and rather he was just flirting with me for fun or something. Unfortunately I didn’t figure this out until we did some sexual things together (nothing in person just phone sex). I was obviously a little upset that he wasn’t interested in a relationship but ultimately I realised that we’re much better off as friends and our flirting and other activities is something I’d like to forget ever happened. My boyfriend and I have talked a little about our exes and we were friends for about 2 years before we got together and therefore told each other some things about our seperate relationships at the time. So do I need to tell him about my history with my friend?
