fast-played set, monotone board

Recent Party NL50 hand. Was this a a decent thing to do on the flop? I figured the button had a cheap flush, but he was shortstacked and I figured it was worth losing half my stack to chase a board pair. The reraise by MP2 had me sure he had a good flush. The $5 call was mechanical.
