CSS Flex self item aligning

Question

I need some help to align the div number 3 to always be on the bottom of the container. The right side container has more content but grid makes both the same size. Left container uses flex. Since flex-direction is column, I tried to justify-self: flex-end for div number 3 but it's not working, but align-self: flex-end works, the other divs are centered while 3 is on the right. How can I fix this?

body{
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
}
div.d {
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    background-color: red;
    margin:20px;
    font-size:50px;
    text-align: center;
}
.flex{
    border:1px solid black;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    align-items: center;
}
.second{
    height:900px;
    border:1px solid black;
}
.this{
    justify-self: flex-end;
}

Do you want the number 3 to be on the bottom or you wish to enlarge the box so its height its equal as the other column? — Eduardo, Dec 02 '20 at 19:36
I want number 3 on the bottom while the rest are starting from the top. — Flo, Dec 02 '20 at 19:38
I was able to do what you wanted but the question got closed ha! No worries, another solution is to nest the number 3, inside that div, with a span element and then applying flexbox properties to the nested item. — Eduardo, Dec 02 '20 at 19:46

Try playing with margins:

body{
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
}
div.d {
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    background-color: red;
    margin:20px 20px 0;
    font-size:50px;
    text-align: center;
}
.flex{
    border:1px solid black;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    align-items: center;
}
.second{
    height:900px;
    border:1px solid black;
}
div.this{
    margin: auto 20px 20px;
}
