How to get specific value by BeautifulSoup?

I try to get some specific text using BeautifulSoup but couldn't figure it out.

All I need is the numbers with the "THIS TEXT" block (56789), not "SOME TEXT"...

Can someone point what's wrong with my code?

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

def foo():
    response = """
    <div class="data_content_blog">
        <div class="data_content">
            <h5 class="large"> SOME TEXT </h5>
            <p class="large some-text">12345</p>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="data_content_blog">
        <div class="data_content">
            <h5 class="large"> SOME TEXT </h5>
            <p class="large some-text">34567</p>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="data_content_blog">
        <div class="data_content">
            <h5 class="large"> THIS TEXT </h5>
            <p class="large this-text">56789</p>
        </div>
    </div>
    """

    soup = BeautifulSoup(response, features="html.parser")
    soup_1 = soup.find_all("div", {"class": "data_content"})

    for s_1 in soup_1:
        s_2 = s_1.find("p").attrs["class"][0]
        s_3 = s_1.find("p").attrs["class"][1]

        if s_2 == "large" and s_3 == "this-text":
            print(s_2, s_3, "<- here")
            # get the number 56789 ???
        else:
            print(s_2, s_3)

If class "this-text" is unique, you can select it and then .find_previous() tag:

num = soup.select_one(".this-text")  # or soup.find(class_="this-text")
h5 = num.find_previous()
print(h5.text, num.text)

Prints:

 THIS TEXT  56789
