I would fold preflop unless CO was pretty aggressive. These 1/2 shorthanded players are usually very passive. Calling the big blind 4-way is completely different from completing SB 4-way. You have to fight a known strong hand. Even worse, the pot odds are the same but the implied odds on your flush are only half because the required preflop contribution is double.

You may get different opinions on this.

Anyway, now the flop has come and you are caught in a potential crossfire without a heart to your name and no kicker. I agree with the fold.
