It was like love at first sight for Leeteuk. Donghae was 14 and was cleaning the tables in SM cafeteria and Leeteuk was like I am going to make this kid my son
Donghae's Father was terminally ill and he asked Leeteuk to protect Donghae and he has been keeping his promise still this day
When Leeteuk called the members before going to the army but couldn’t talk to Donghae because he was crying so hard
Leeteuk had a schedule the day Donghae enlisted so he couldn’t bid him goodbye and he cried bcz of this
If you notice, donghae's behaviour towards leeteuk is completely different. The way he always hits the members when he is laughing or getting hyper. It's like they are his siblings/friends. But he never does it to leeteuk. It's like he sees him as a parental figure
I don't know how to explain this but if you notice whenever Donghae is talking/playing around and you see leeteuk's expression: the way he looks at him with so much adoration, if it's not "I am a proud parent" behaviour
I will never get over this Letter Donghae wrote to Leeteuk from the army. "IT'S REALLY COLD. HOW DO I ENDURE THIS." breaks my Heart into pieces.
"I THINK I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY YOU FELT TIRESOME HERE." this proves Leeteuk also told Donghae how he was struggling
