Default Re: Whichever one of you

Sorry about the sanitary, let it be pipes.

Well.

1) Whichever of you broke the window will have to pay for it.
2) Whichever one of you broke the window will have to pay for it.

But I still can not understand the construction.

In the first case, we have whichever as a subject of a relative clause and break as a verb.

In the second case, I even can not tell anything. "Of you" relates to one.
What is whichever relates to? And where is the subject of the relative clause?

Where is the subject
