Help! Quick Peach Tree Pruning Question

I'm a learning gardener (I always will be a learning gardener but I'm only a few years into my journey).

The peach tree in the image was planted two years ago as a bare-root tree from StarkBros.

I know I need to do some pruning. From my understanding the narrow V between these two upwards shoots is going to be a problem in the future (a weak spot for splitting and disease, right?).

This tree and another peach tree are my big successes so far in dabbling with fruit trees, so I just want to ask some people who know more than I do to confirm I should indeed be pruning off one of the two sides of the V pictured.

I also believe I understand I should wait to make this cut until the buds start to open so it can heal over more quickly, correct?

Thanks a bunch!

Bump. Would really appreciate some input.

 i would trim both limbs back about 1/3 from tips. Then I would probably put a stick or something between them to allow them to grow apart a little.   On peaches you want to finish with a vase shaped, open centered tree.
That's how we do them around here in south Ga.  Looks like there growing nicely.

Thank you so much Ralph--I really appreciate the input. Without you I would have likely chopped off an entire one of those leads!

Greg, check out the book "Grow a Little Fruit Tree." It really opened my eyes to a lot of great pruning strategies.

Also, I've gotten some great material from my local coop extension on particular pruning strategies for local fruit trees - you'll want a different approach with peach, with apple, with mulberry, etc., etc.
