whiffed AK in 4b pot facing 1/2p lead

Blinds: $0.10/$0.25 (6 Players) MP: $50.82
CO: $25.00
BN: $61.07
SB: $25.00
BB: $20.00
UTG: $25.55 (Hero)
I'll try to do sth a little bit differently now because I've played around 3 or 4 really interesting hands agains the same player in succession over a 1hour session. So I'll try to also post the others one after another in this thread so you can follow the history step-by-step.
To not spoiler anything, I won't say anything about his player type. The hand above is also my first hand with him so I had no reads anyway. Hopefully this will work out as planned. :D
Preflop ($0.35) Hero is UTG with A K
Hero raises to $0.75, MP calls $0.75, 3 folds, BB raises to $2.10, Hero raises to $5.30, MP folds, BB calls $3.20
I wasn't 100% sure about AK being a profitable 4bet here because his 3b sizing indicated fishyness and they usually don't have the widest squeezing ranges. However when he made it so small I interpreted this as a sign of weakness and therefore decided to go for it. Him squeezing the first hand also makes it decently likely that he's on the laggy side and a lot of lagfishes repop wide ranges with small sizings.
Flop ($11.45) 3 4 9
BB bets $5.46

Facing his flop lead I was somewhat lost though because I felt like I had close to 0% FE and that he will show up with a pair here almost always. Sure, sometimes he has a FD or some weird play with really anything but he can basically put out a pretty small bet and put me into a really tough spot. Does this mean I should have played differently preflop? Maybe just make it $7 so I can comfortably shove close to any flop?
