Barbara was the teacher, though, as the public and herself said, a lonely old maid. She keeps a diary every day.

Barbara said to Sheba: I want more than friends. She described her loneliness as the loneliness worn by drops of water, a feeling that no one cares about.

Barbara is likely to have only two so-called friends in her life, one is Jennifer, the other was cornered by Barbara, and once asked the lawyer to send a letter to prevent Barbara from appearing within a few meters of her. ; one is Shiba.

The friendship that Barbara needs is more of a possessive and perverted relationship.

As she sets her sights on a beautiful young and seemingly perfect Shiba, she slowly observes her, approaches her, and knows she has everything in her hands, her chaotic family. It turns out that the seemingly perfect Shiba is married to a bad old man with a daughter who behaves weird and a son who is mentally retarded. Coincidentally, Barbara bumped into Sheba's affair with a student and promised to help Sheba keep it a secret. It all acts like a catalyst for her friendship with Shiba.

After finding Jennifer's replacement, she seemed to see the light of day and the pillar of life in the future. Barbara thought that she could finally live the days of two people cuddling with each other, accompanying each other, and licking each other's wounds. As a result, when the cat that accompanied Barbara for many years died, Sheba couldn't comfort her to accompany her because she was going to see her son's performance, and she began to cry, crazy jealous and take revenge.

In the end, Barbara's efforts to reveal the affair between Sheba and the student made Sheba ruined, her family was broken, and she was imprisoned. Barbara thought that Sheba would be able to be with her forever without the distraction of her family, but who knew that Sheba saw Barbara's diary before going to prison. Barbara lost her second friend just like that. The second friend also left her with hatred.

Barbara became lonely again, so she started looking for her third friend as if nothing had happened. The morbid possessiveness didn't know if it would hurt Annibel again.
