"You look so sexy when you bend over like that, Sook!"
"Jeong! What do you mean?"
"I love the way I can see your panties through your yoga pants. It so sexy."
"You can see my panties? Why didn't you tell me before?"
"I can only see the lines of the edges and the gusset. I assumed you knew. Wanted it. You're so sexy. Why shouldn't you make it obvious to everyone?"
Sook was clearly a bit upset.
"I didn't know and it's not what I want. I don't want other men to know what I wear under my yoga pants."
"I'm sorry, Sook. But they're going to know anyway. And if they can't see VPL then they'll just assume you're not wearing any."
"That's worse!"
"The bottom line is that you are extremely beautiful. Men are going to look. I don't know why you're upset. You wear makeup to emphasize how beautiful your face is. Why worry about VPL? Your bottom is beautiful, too."
"Aren't you upset by other men seeing my VPL?"
"No. Like I said, I thought it's what you wanted and I don't want to limit you. I'm not going to demand that you dress a particular way to please me. So, I thought that if you were happy to give other men a bit of a thrill, then that's fine. You're in control. It's your body."
"So you don't mind if other men are aroused by me?"
"Mind? Why would I mind? It doesn't diminish our marriage does it? If anything, it's a bit of a turn on."
"How, Jeong, are you turned on by other men finding me sexy?"
"Sook, I'm a network architect, not a psychologist. I don't know why. I just know that other men finding you sexy doesn't take anything away. I still get to give you a kiss when you wake up, before you've even got out of bed."
"Awww, you're so sweet. I think I should speak with Izumi."

"George, do you know a man called Jeong?"
"Maybe? Does he design networks?"
"I think so. I got a call from his wife, Sook, today. Do you have time for dinner with them on Wednesday?"
"I think so. Is this business, Izumi?"
"It could be."

"The seams of my panties show through my yoga pants," said Sook.
"Tommy John has some laser cut panties that won't show through," I replied.
"That was the start, Izumi. But then I got thinking. Jeong didn't mind and his rationale was... well it was rational."
"Thanks sweetie," chimed in Jeong.
"Which leads to the question: what is it that I care about and why? And that leads us to you."
Jeong asked, "Sorry, I'm at sea here. How does that lead us to Izumi and George? I thought you just went to middle school together."
"We did. But Izumi has a business and I think her professional advice might be useful."
"You're in IT?" Jeong asked, obviously confused.
