I dreamed that I opened a garden restaurant. A group came in that used to be a youth group but had grown up and reunited. However, only three or four people showed up.
They reminisced about the past when they performed dances with unique styles. Now, they were older. I saw them on the rooftop area practicing their old dance routines. Watching their past videos, I thought, "Oh, so that's what they used to look like. Their styles were pretty cute!" Their hair used to be very curly, almost like afros. The group's members had adorable styles, and it seemed they had quite a few members back then!
They wanted to record a video, but with only four people, they couldn't showcase their past dance skills or remind everyone of their old selves.
They started calling former members, and surprisingly, a few old members gradually showed up.
Even though they had grown up, their hair was still curly like before. Although some had gained weight, everyone was happy to be together again, practicing their old moves. They were clearly joyful and delighted to be reunited. After practicing for a while, they got hungry and went to the outdoor dining area.
The restaurant didn't have many customers, and the staff were lounging around, with a few older women playing mahjong.
When the group came to the outdoor area and told the waiter they wanted to eat, the older women quickly got up. Realizing one table wasn't enough, they asked the women to set up another table.
I had been worried about the restaurant's poor business, but then customers started coming in, filling the restaurant, which made me feel relieved.
I ordered a horsehead fish bento for myself. After taking a bite, I felt the restaurant was too crowded and decided to have lunch at my mom's place instead. I went to the counter, where there was a small passageway. I told my mom I had a horsehead fish bento for her and asked her to open the small door. Then, I wrapped up the bento and passed it down to her through the small passageway.
After confirming that she and my stepfather had taken the bento, I messaged her saying I was coming over. Mom initially agreed but then said it wasn't possible and asked me to come the next day. I insisted on going that day because I had many socks with holes, and the sewing kit was at her place. I needed the kit to mend my socks.
Mom replied, "You can come to pick up the jewelry too." I thought, the jewelry wasn't my main concern.
As I was thinking about how to get to my mom's house, my restaurant suddenly turned into a gym. Many people were doing cross squats.
The instructor was urging everyone to follow along, emphasizing the importance of consistent exercise. I thought, "Yeah, consistency is key." But after doing it three times, my legs felt weak. I thought, "This is exhausting!" We had to keep getting up, squatting halfway, and doing cross movements, and I found it hard to keep up.
The instructor kept encouraging us to push harder. I could only do part of the exercises. Luckily, that session ended just when I couldn't stand anymore due to my weak legs.
夢見我開了一間花園餐廳。來了一個社團，過去是年輕團體，現在長大了，邀約聚在一起，可是很多人沒來，只來了三四人。
他們幾人在懷念說，過去他們表演跳舞時，也有搭配造型。現在大家年紀大了，也老了。
我看見他們在頂樓區域，幾個人在練習他們以前跳的舞。看到他們過去的影片，我想說：「喔～這就是他們以前的樣子，造型還蠻可愛的呢！」以前的造型頭髮很捲，很像黑人頭。幾個人的造型都很可愛。看來過去他們這個團體的成員還不少呢！
他們想要錄影，可是只有四個人來，人太少了，表現不出過去的舞藝，沒法讓大家回憶他們以前的樣子。
他們開始打電話，把以前那些團員約來。沒想到後來幾個老團員真的就陸續出現。
他們長大了，可是頭髮還是像黑人頭那樣捲捲的。雖然胖了，但大家還是很開心，在那裡聚會。然後就一起練習以前的動作。看得出來他們很歡樂、很開心，大家難得聚在一起。練久了，肚子餓了，要吃飯，來到戶外用餐區。
餐廳沒有什麼客人，員工就這樣子隨便散坐著，還有幾個大媽在打麻將。
當這群人來到戶外區，告訴服務生他們要吃飯。幾個大媽就趕快起來。發現一桌不夠，他們請大媽再整理一桌。
之前我本來還在擔心餐廳生意不好，後來客人陸續來了，我看到餐廳都坐滿了，就比較放心。
我點了一個馬頭魚便當給自己吃。吃了一口，覺得餐廳好擠喔！想說乾脆去媽媽家吃午餐好了。我走到櫃檯，那邊有個小管道。我跟媽媽說我有馬頭魚便當要給她，請她打開小門。然後我把便當包好，從櫃檯旁的小管道，傳下去給她。
確定她跟繼父把東西拿走後，我傳訊息給她，說我要去找她。媽媽本來說好，後來又說不行，要我改明天。我說因為我有很多襪子有破洞，針線盒在她那裡，我必須要去拿針線盒，才能夠把襪子破洞縫起來。所以一定得今天過去。
媽媽回說：「不然妳過來拿首飾也好。」我心想其實首飾並不是我的重點。
當我正在想要如何到媽媽家時，我的餐廳怎麼變成健身房。很多人在那交叉蹲跳。
教練喊著要大家一起跟著做，說運動要持之以恆。我心想：「對啊！要持之以恆。」可是我這樣子來回做了三次以後，就腿軟了。我想說：「好累喔！」又要起來、半蹲，起來、交叉。我就有一點做不來了。
老師繼續說：「用力，加油啊！」我開始做不完整，只能做半套。剛好那一節的運動結束，我心想:「好險，因為我已經腿軟到站不起來了。」

As the old group members continued to arrive, the restaurant filled with laughter and joy. They all gathered in the outdoor dining area, sharing stories and reminiscing about the old days.
